Lloyd Jones commented on Dylan Danger Batty's group 'Board Builders'"Alright folks i've got my entry done. I give you, The Steel Framed Mini, 440mm wheelbase, Seismic 130 trucks - probs a bit wide but i think it's more a case of the deck being ridiculously narrow topped off with Seismic 82a Rippler wheels.…"
