Title: My fat boy pintail
Post by: skyarrow on May 01, 2012, 01:18:02 am

I just finished my pintail longboard it's 48" long made out of birch I just picked up my new wheels and bearings man it rides great. The form I made adds about .5" of relief wen staining on it the board feels like its holing you on it

Skating has always fascinated me, unfortunately I always sucked at it.  That's a great looking board, I bet it will be a blast.

Awesome board... I got a long board 3 years ago and have logged hundreds of miles on it... My bike hasn't been touched since...  ;D ;D Sweet board now go carve up some hills....

Thanx all il post a pic of me ridin it later after I get back from the classic ;) I will mis riding it it's so fun and smooth to ride .  today I hit 19.7 mph on a small hill I font of my house not to shabby There are bigger hills but I think il need stiffer bushings if i want To hit above 30 mph I'm afraid il get speed wobble if I keep these 98a bushings on at faster speeds but carving she feels great I think after the wheels break in I mite be able to slice some but I mite build a board just for that :)

Great tiller on that one ;) I think it's really fun seeing all the things other than bows that people on this site are able to make.  Nice job!
