Fat Pigeon Freeride deck - Opinions please

Forget w cave, forget pleasure dome! You won’t need those with this deck. Featuring Duel rocker ™ and Garden of Eden pockets ™ this dropthrough freeride deck is taking freeride boards to the next level.

Longitudinally super stiff thanks to uniaxial carbon fibre with just a hint of torsional twist to aid the initial breakout of the wheels during slides.

This is a handcrafted road weapon using only quality materials. Constructed with double bias fibreglass and uniaxial carbon fibre sandwiched between 4 layers of ply.

Step into the pockets and each one of your feet will feel something special, something unique, a little bit of paradise. They will feel locked in, more locked in than a loser on Who wants to be a millionaire!

Ok I’ll stop now.

The idea for this deck has been floating round my head for about a year now and finally I have the skills to be able to build it.

Specs

Length 41 1/2” or 105cm

Width 10 1/4” or 26cm

Centre width 9” or 23cm

WB 32” or 81.5cm

Drop 5/8” or 14mm

Concave ½” or 12- 14mm

This thing is going to be perfect for stand up slides, general freeriding and even serious downhill. It is designed to be versatile. Can also be top mounted for even more options. Designed for 70mm wheels.

Let me know what you think, good or bad? What do you think of the pockets? Any improvements you would make? I want to make this a deck something that people will really dig riding

Ok here is version 2 of the Fat Pigeon Freeride. Ive changed the nose and tail. Routed some wheel wells in and reduced the WB to 31.5 inches. Rockin 75mm wheels will be no problem. I'm going to use this deck for testing and depending on feedback will most likely build a smaller version with a WB of 29.5 - 30 inches

If your interested in one of these pm me or reply to the Fat Pigeon thread in the marketplace

$200 for the deck with a simple paint finish. If you want a shiny fabric graphic like the one pictured thats an extra $50, just cause of the work involved. Pm me if your interested
