Cooooooooool some "food" for my addiction...

#2 the special guys from texas need to be honored too with this special board:


the shape is derived from the gunner.a versatile all around board with kicktail and concave more to follow.

Looks awesome!!

the dhb board is due tomorrow

Sick! I can't wait to see that one!! Will that be available at Sk8kings or just through the Pavel website?

a bigger part of those decks is meant for the american market,so it won't be too difficult to get a hold of one of those.

Don we are honored. Thank You. Pavel was well represented at our Outlaw Race this weekend.


Big Ryan and Gorrillabiscuits killed on their Pavels.
Your Amigo and Team mate Eddy Texas Outlaws/Pavel Skates

Any hope of getting a sneak-peak of the DHB cue soon (fingers crossed)?

Thats what I's talking about!

wow god i want 1 of those

what is technogroove?

i heard this question quite often the last few weeks.please check the pic below to see the bottom of a pavel prototype:


flip came up with that a few years ago for street skating.the wood is laminated and pressed
in a special way thus hardening the surface and structure of the wood/skateboard.
this invention was very popular among people who skated rails.the boards wouldn't break that easy and they lasted a bit longer than the average board.

we got that technology as an exclusive for the bottom of our boards which are made at abc boards in costa mesa.

the finalized versions will be available for paris and for the usa a week later.

I just skated all the prototypes and set them up with GOG trucks so that I really can feel what they are like. The boards are very good and when Don is saying they will cost at the shops about 79€ with a killer multi color design on top and bottom, wheels wells and so on then I can say perfect for all of you. Pavel über alles!

Looking sweet!

OK, so it's June now, WHERE can I buy one?

I want one too. Are they ready anytime soon? Any news at all?

slaes reps in the usa will be
woodies halfpipe ; exclusive distribution
allboardssports
jim weatherwax
eddy martinez
joe iacovelli
marion karr and the dhb crew

boards are set for delivery end of next week.

if you have any problems regarding contacting some of of the above mentioned folks drop me a line

For Europe contact Donald directly or me.

If anything will be ok with the shipping the decks are online on the 26-27.06.2007 at
www.concretewave.de and some selected shops in Germany and Europe too.

Any estimates on when these guys are gonna get trucks? (In the US)

Thanks for an extremely fast answer.

Just arrived at my office via/FedEx!

Thanks Uncle Donny!

I don't want to nag or anything, but I chose the wood GOG as a present to my brother on his birthday and it was going to be available in time. I ordered it a while back and his birthday came and passed (26th). Can you guys give me any current estimate on the deck? I would like to know so I can give my brother info.

Thanks

Toby you will be the first one who get's the decks. Hopefully they will be in Germany at the end of this week. I'm waiting on a date from the cargo company because the decks come together with some stuff for me to save some shipping costs.

Sorry but in the US they work a bit different than here in Europe...

i tryed a new pavel board in paris,like pauls "rocka" but a little bit thiner in the mid... where is that board???

Pelle - That was one of my proto "Jet" models. Should be finalized soon, but Donald knows the details.

exellent!!!! hope it will be out soon,3 of us in team pelleplast want to bye one each... totaly wonderfule board and shape. please let me know cris and donald when it´s ready

They have arrived.... $65 plus shipping
I have both the GOG and the Texas Outlaw for sale....

PM or Email to Jimwax@mac for details

these boards are sick!!!
the TechnoGroove laminates make these super stiff and durable.....and its under the board where it was designed to be, so youi will be able to get full traction from the grip tape on top
Big Concave and tails....
...

i want one!!!!!!!!!

technogroove history lesson for all:
technogroove aka new wave(ps stix did the flip boards with that bottom treatment)is made to strengthen the bottom layers of the board by compressing the wood during the lamination process.that's the only region in a board where this process makes sense.
the basic idea a few years ago was to make streetboards more durable and slideable.this idea faded away from the market but it was a good one nevertheless.jim gray bought that technology from paul schmitt and uses it exclusively for his acme brand.pavel uses the technogroove exclusively for their line of raceboards as a bottom treatment also.
that's exactly why you won't see it on any other brands bottom.
concave lesson for all:
we have a very deep concave,deeper than the other brands on the market.we also made sure that the raise of concave from the middle to the sidewalls is round and not edgy.which means that you have a "rolling" feeling under your feet when you lean into a turn.unlike a few other brands on the market we have a concave that goes to the tail and stops where the tail starts.with that extra concave the boards are very "pump-friendly" to say so.
compare to other brands and you will see the difference.
please take your time to try those boards out and contact our friends nearest to where you live:

Over on NCDSA, I believe Chicken misunderstood my noting the new construction of Pavel's boards with the (formerly) Schmitt Technogroove (thanks for posting that namebrand, Donald) wood. It is pretty unique, and using this on the top, with other high-tech materials, is where I believe Pavel is first-to-produce in Slalom boards. I hope this clarifies my intent. If it dosen't, well, Donald is still making boards that are to be reckoned with...

oh my god the dhb deck looks sweet, just ordered myself the GOG deck from mike at octane sprts (uk) and im now eagerly awaitng its arrival.

cant wait to try it out. hopefuly ill get to that all important first race soon.


BEn


ooh and thanks to stridey and wax for the advise on choosing a deck.

well its arrived...............and its awesome, absolutly awesome.

I'm off to LA and SF soon. Can I find Pavel decks there?

usa has only mailorder
europe is similar but within reach
repeat this:concretewave,octansports,coneracing
please buy there

I want to buy a deck in the US and I don't want to bring one there. Can't stay there a month without one.

I will contact Jim Weatherwax then, I guess?

if you're staying in the sf area i would suggest you shoot cat an e-mail
she lives in the sf area and is going to the coss race this weekend so get a hold of her,she can bring it back to sf toby,she's also going to the dixie next week as far as i know

Cat is not going to the Dixie Cup.

Maybe Mr Reitema can bring both a Cat and a deck to Bonelli on Nov 17-18..
I'm on it. Tnx.

gotta say, i got one of the GoG wood decks and it's simply amazing

Just got ahold of a Texas Outlaws deck.

Haven't had time to do more than set it up, but it looks and feels killer:


Thanks Don and WAX!

My 7-year-old has claimed the board as his.... I won't argue, as long as he lets me ride it once in a while...
