Had to comment on your misguided opinions regarding some of the boards in your 'unforgivable' section. Ok ok I can agree with the wingboard... a definitive bunch of arse, but I think you must have NEVER ridden a dirtboard, an eight wheeler or a freeboard to come out with such bland and narrow minded comments. Most of the boards you freely dissed are concept boards, do you know what this means???. If everybody thought like you wrote we would still be 'surfing' the streets with soft compound urethane on solid wood boards and wedge kicktails. If people don't try new ideas and designs the whole industry would grind to a halt. Being a UK rider on and off since 1975 I have seen changes, some good, some bad, I just think your blinkered opinions should be kerbed a bit. Freeboarding is great, just like snowboarding without snow, with the 'centre' wheels up it is a great board to cruise about with. Dirtboards could be a saving grace for a country with a lot of bad weather and few indoor facilities, it keeps the interest alive having alternative ways of skating... The eight wheeler was a bit of a gimmick but I have seen some wicked bowl riding (ever done it?) with these boards, they are worth a fortune too. Ever tried a snakeboard, I found it a challenge not a foolish idea at all really, only in your eyes. Anyway you are probably sooooo hardcore that my opinion dosent count eh?.
