Kaliber strikes back!!!

Post by Heiko Schöller » Wed Apr 20, 2005 10:07 am

Here is my new Kaliber custom bamboo deck made in Cologne Germany.
34.5" x 10" for special and Giant Slalom. Wheelbase is 21" - 23" with 8holes in front and back. Flex is very stiff and board has no camber and a strong concave.

I tested the board yesterday and it is killer. From 1,80m Cones everything is possible...Thanks to the Kaliber Guys for building me such a good board.

Hi Justin

You asked for a action pic. Here are two nice ones where you can see the board. We had a very nice weekend with all our friends...Kaliber took 1. and 2. (Max Möhlmann) Men AM!!!

I changed the wheels because the surface was very bad. Grippins have more grip.

Reckon it's a style thang, Karl. Most boards spend 90% of their time inactive and jut plain looking good. Here's Heiko showing how:

Or maybe it's to ping cones out of the way before they get jammed under the wheels.
That was the design rationale for the Turner Cutaway.

I wish he'd hit a few more after qualifying!
I was left standing...

The nose is so long to throw the cones better away.
