thats some serious concave!

yeah, i expected it to 'rebound' a bit and be a bit more mellow, and i expected the camber to rebound less, but i guess it's all a learning process, i used a 'dimm', male/female foam press by the way.

If you ever have the chance to have a look at Matt Ryans SGS deck I built him it's very similar....25mm concave over 9 inches wide deck. For "rail to rail" riding a deep concave is great.

cool, ill try get a look, what materials do you use here in aus by the way?

Comment by Sakamoto on October 8, 2009 at 23:24

Mirboo, gums, various pines, bamboo, cedar....just depends on the method you use and the type of deck you are wanting to build.

Almost finsished the varnishing, new trucks should arrive tommorow or the day after, so around then. Yeah, just the camera angle (if you look at the right side wheel you can see the inside, cant see the inside on the left wheel) ill put some pics up of the finished product with the graphic up tommorow.
