Looking for reviews on the Skull Skates Cutter slalom board. I am mainly concerned with flex. Is it stiff, soft, etc??
I am 175 lbs. Can anyone comment on how this board would feel under a dude my weight?
Any other comments.
Thanks.

I live in Vancouver BC and have been skating on the 30" Cutter since December. I weigh 130lbs and when I stand on the board I just barely flatten the camber, and when I pump hard, the camber seems to progressivly resist. The camber center is more toward the front and has a concave that is under the front foot as well, leaving the back foot on a flat surface. I had to make some custom wedges as the front truck needed an extra 6mm to bring it to level and then 6mm on top of that to add steer.
You can just see the carbon fibre layer on the bottom when you hold it up to the light.
My friend Pete Rose (185lbs) was out with me yesterday and he tried my deck. He got it pumping no problem and it didn't sag or bottom out. He has the long version of the Cutter (48"?) and he couldn't bottom that one out either. I have got mine set up with Indy 101's and Avalons and I'm totally happy with it. The cutter dimensions are 30"x 8.5",
the camber depth is 7/16ths (10mm)
If you want some pictures of it just email me.

Dan,
thanks so much for the review. I will probably email you soon for pics. I am working to equip myself with a good all around deck that I can take through the tight stuff, but also handle more loosley set courses.
thanks again.

NO WAY! these boards are so F@$!ng great!
Considering your weight, just set it up with indy 101ers ,bones hadcore mid bushings back soft ones in front ,avila's,oust, and you get one killer set-up for GS...(tough it's 30" long)

Are Skulls boards available in France or Europe?
or need to order directly to Canada?
I'd like to try some (slalom but long and oldschool too)
