Anyone know any companies that make 40mm (wide) foam tape? Some of my Brutal decks are like 38mm wide and I am having trouble finding grip to suit them...

weca tape is 40x110mm
its out of stock right now though, i think i have like 3 sheets left only

I have actually used Wecca tape before on my Brutals....seems I just totally forgot about it Do you know roughly when you will be getting anymore back in stock...would be very keen to do a bulk order of 20 or so sheets.

I seen a company on instagram post they have riser pads in the works but can't remember what company or find that post anymore. Can anyone help?

pretty sure its dynamic

Anyone still use 29mm decks? I recently downsized from 33mm to 32 and loved the change. I've been thinking about going even skinnier and Mike Schneider's new video with a 29 has gotten me thinking about it even more.

My last board was a 29 or a 30. I prefer the 33mm I have now. Yeah i liked mikes 29mm video.

I've been thinking about going back too but it would be a tough switch

Yeah, my first wooden set up was a 30mm 4C deck. I only used that for about 3 weeks before I upgraded to a G14. So I have never really used anything skinnier than a 32 for a significant amount of time. I'm thinking it might be kind of fun to try 29 and the style in "older" fingerboard videos is so much nicer.

Problem is I would also have to buy 29mm trucks though

Nope, prefer 32 mm. Gives me better board control.

Hmm, interesting topic...I have been debating going 'down a size' recently also (- though I am yet to see this 29mm 'Mike' vid).
My current deck is JUST under 34mm and I find it DAMN hard to 360 flip on (-instead a nice spin the board flips like crazy and barely pops at all)??? Have NO idea why this is happening as it was one of the first tricks I learnt and I can do them perfectly 10 out of 10 on cheap, plastic Tech Decks??? So I am thinking it might be due to the width (or possibly length) of my current board???

On that note, does anyone else have issues with particular tricks on particular decks sizes/shapes?

^^^yes, some of my tricks (tre and sw tre for example) are much easier for me on a deck with little to no concave and longer length. But I cant switch heel on a deck with low concave

32.5 is my butter zone, I find it perfect... In saying that 30mm decks are definitely fun, they flip fast and everything just seems so quick and sharp

My first wooden board was 4cfb, a 30mm deck. Now i actually make my own boards... my fingers finding a little bit weird on wider decks. I think my comfortable width is between 29-30mm. Still figuring and maybe shorter wheel base is better suited for me too.

@Estevan Rivera: thanks for the info dude...its good to know its not just me...its been driving me quite nuts (lol)...I will have to try a slightly narrower deck size in the future.

Is there any other distribution company in the United States besides Flatface & BRR? I'm looking to order a couple hundred dollars in product but I don't want to order from the well-known companies despite their high shipping costs. Let me know!

How long does it take for oaks to ship?


[edit] where is the fastest place I can get oaks shipped to the us?

@jimydave: for shipping to the US Flatface would more than likely be the fastest place to buy Oaks. Not to sure about direct shipping times for Oaks to the US but I am guessing at least 2-3 weeks as they take 3-5 weeks to get to Australia.

Do I have to register of fast fingers sight if I am not entering?

I just think their prices are way too expensive for shipping.

I ordered a pair of BRR Trucks, Y Trucks, 2 Pairs of Oaks and a Berlinwood from FBS in Germany, Katha charged me $6.00 for shipping and the same products from Flatface would cost me $24.00 in shipping. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

Does anyone know how wooden tech deck graphics were applied?
