AND Winkler is using a old school shaped BW!!! Looks like is has the concave and kicks of the nm...Wonder if they are gonna bring those back too!!!

I'd say its probably made by hand for him like your 12 old school was. Would be sick if they made hammerheads again though : o

you gotta ride an oldschool in the bowl

on another note, i got my ellias proto today..oh my gosh :shock: ..it is a proto, cos the kicks are longer, and the sides are straight not curved like regular bw's...its like my most fav bw to ride ever...and the condition is good too ......he he he im so stoked

edit, also im gonna hazard a guess......when y's got the autoblock nuts they went up 4 euro for 4 nuts...im guessing with that tool, their gonna be getting near the same ground, money wise as brt's?....hmmmmm....

oldschool in a bowl indeed, its the law XD

And, yea, I fear that too about ys. Fuck paying brr money for them, they shouldn't increase soo much. If the tool ads a bunch to the cost they should make it an optional extra..


On a brr note, yea, the colour is gonna come off on those, but, they are prototypes, it'll probably stay a LOT longer if/when they sell them

winkler pwns

honestly.. i like the fact it comes off.
like there graphs come off and then the trucks scratch, it will be that much more like a real board.

Yeah, but it would have to be as strong as Y's. If it is just a standard paint, I would just get the normal ones IMO.

next what grant? they bring out wheels that get flatspots? haha.
then after a few weeks the flatspots just wear out
would be cool if they came out with a low brt style and a high style

id rather it stay on i honestly dont give a crap about all this realistic shit in fingerboarding

I thought of that, but having shaped a regular deck into an old school myself, the tail on that board he's using is HUGE, and getting a tail that big out of shaping a standard deck isn't possible...unless they shaped it backwards...as in made the nose the tail, seeing as how the nose on brr's is longer than the tail...but even still i think that one was made for him out of a mold, not a already cut/shaped deck...But yes the hammerheads would be badass...I had a chance to get a hammerhead and a longboard brand new in the package few months ago...still kicking myself in the ass for passing them up

Yea I meant out of a mold, just, shaped as a one off rather than actually made in quantities to be sold

*helps you kick yourself in the ass*
That was a silly thing to pass up! Oh well, I'm sure you'll find some one day, you always manage to find amazing things, haha

i saw the hammerheads in stock on fbs like ages ago. when i was still using tech decks

^yea me too danny! And BWOM regulars, when I first got my closeup and first started fingerboarding. Couldn't afford them though =[

And I could have got them for $40 USD for both AND I was first in line, but I wanted to shape my own I'm sure i'll come across another one sometime...

a lttle off topic but as were talking b dubs......im not gonna be able to get any pics up anytime soon.....my bro is on holiday with his cam, and my cousins phone cam wont uploadf to my email cos its old and crappy.......guys your gonna have to wait for pics of the ellias..... .........trust me though, its awesome

I remember wen I was a tech deck noon I found out ff and they had the ff engraved oldmolds and other stuff but there were 55$ so yeah lol but I found out about wooden decks and stuff from ff

lol

My white ytrucks came today and they had the new tool.
so the price must not be rising.

its super sick though!

ahhh sweet ...that good of them....

Looks like the y trucks tool was a limited run, with them being in the last restock. Acording to Christophe, they are discontinued and were only goin out with the last restock..."This tool was not officially presented becaused she will be discontinued. We simple offer them with the last restock." That kinda sux

Yeah I saw that.

I would prefer something like a BRR tool...

yea, I think they're discontinuing it because its too big, maybe they want to make something more compact like the brr tool

Exactly. It kinda looks like a screwdriver with a Y sticker on it...

fixed, lmao.

I couldn't agree more. Props to Ytrucks as always, but, its just too big for me to like it

For sure.

And the one think I think YT should do, is an engraving like BRR.
I don't have BRR trucks, but the engraving adds alot, when it comes to the professionalism. IMO

yea thatd be so awesome if they were anodized lol

dont bring back old topics
