here is our latest model.after witnessing first hand the potential for 6 wheelers in gs & sgs situations,we went to work immediately.this deck features elongated wheel wells with correct,straight drilling process to insure proper tracking.

did i anounce some sort of contest?i think not.we at CHIxILL are not here to amuse you.we simply placed the trucks there to show the mounting holes.you guys are too funny.i will try to get the wheel well shot up tommorow.cf

C Fav,
VERRRRY Nice. It's great to see someone produce a retail 6. Detractors can't claim it's a non viable entity for racing when your own is an order away.
Try 6 you'll like it. If it stops raining this morning, I'm bustin out mine for a practice sesh and dreaming of the season ahead.
Hey Tod, you tried it yet? If not then don't, I don't need you going any faster this year.

elongated wheel wells:
the inner truck doesn't have an advantage of the wheel well.
try to stretch the deepest point of the well a bit more out.
you will see what i mean when you set the board up properly.
that's why we did so much r&d ,regard this as a useful tip with no
bad intentions at all,ok?

most g/s boards with just two trucks run 21 to 23 inch wheelbase,so we pretty much based it on that.marty has a post on the fatboy thread as to how pull off the little tricks to setting up rear trucks up bushing and riser wise.the deck is available either 7 and 8 ply "made in california maple".one last thing look for an announcement soon,we have a new art director and its gonna get a little more hardcore around here.cfav
p.s this deck has already been tested and raced with two truck set ups and 22 inch wheel base at places like hobby hill and pump station,so its based on an already proven design.

we have a six wheeler dialed.did not get the chance to race it in ohio,but that would have been perfect for it.on a big swoopy gs or super g this may be the real deal.when i first saw chaputs,i thought it was just a novelty,but i was wrong.what you end up with is a grippy "dead" rear end and then couple that with a snappy/turny front end and you got it.the bonus is the extra roll speed you can generate through a turn.
would have been great to race marty and olsen on theirs,as they each had a six wheeler set up for ohio,boys,theres some unfinished business there.cfav
