Hey Nino at the park and ride you mentioned something to me about getting a pocket pistol from... Frank I believe it was, for cheap. How would I go about that?

Frank hooked me up with some new slalom gear before the WV Race. Check out his online skateshop at http://www.strange-house.net/

@ LBK: i was def. thinking about it. you know i like banks! are you going?


@ Jack: stiffness depends on how much you weigh. i weigh about 150 or so, i got a med stiff boad and it flexes just enough. some people like really stiff boards, some don't, i guess it's all personal preference. oh yeah and for trucks, you'll probably want 106mm RT-X/S for one of the Hardcores.

New title- Build Jacks board thread I'm trying to decide between the pocket pistols TS and the Nature Boy. The nature boy is thin, but I dont know if thats a good thing. Which one is better? (better is a broad term). You can see both of them on strange house. Thanks for helping me out, i really appreciate it.

i don't know what to say on this one... the Nature Boy's width is one the small side, but if its the shape you like, WesE can probably make you the same board ;) pick the one that suits your riding style best. if you want, i think we may all meet at Arlington for a morninig sesh on sunday, frank can bring both (or any other) and you can just pick the one that you like. its always nice to hold the board in your hand before you buy it.
