Don’t make me pull the ferrits back out

ElskerShadow · February 23, 2018, 8:37am

I will do exactly the same with the new hummie’s

The condo to house upgrade is also overrated. Too much exterior upkeep

Agreed, we went from a big house back to a downtown Loft. Soooo much better. Also, being right in the city makes commuting a blast!

I have a 140 year old house on 2 acres, pretty close to town. I’m thinking about burning it all down and buying a tent

Mikenopolis · February 23, 2018, 8:48pm

What’s an acre…I live in Southern California. We have condos that are $1 Million

I live in alabama, the only condos are on the beach :). An acre is a unit of land area equal to 4,840 square yards (0.405 hectare).

I don’t know if you will like it, but when I was choosing the board to go it would have been useful for the final decision. Maybe I could avoid a return Picture over size chart…

Spud 29" Vs Potato 33" PS: I will return the potato

ATLesk8 · February 23, 2018, 10:15pm

How much was the potato. Wanna sell it?

rey8801 · February 23, 2018, 10:28pm

I can still return it. Never use it. I paid 106 with grip tape.

stormboard1 · February 24, 2018, 5:47am

Does the potatoe have a kick tail and what is it you like more about the spud?

rey8801 · February 24, 2018, 6:34am

I would say the the shape is the almost the same. The difference is in the length. Indeed now the spud is called potato 29", no spud anymore. I come from a 35/36" board and I found quite bulky for my daily use. It didn’t fit inside most of the closets, when you move it around is too big to put it underneath a table ecc… So I tought to go with the potato 33" but when I have seen it I realized that it is almost the same and even broader than my previous one, so the total volume was almost the same. The logic next step was the spud. I love the Jet boards, so my final decision was between spud, banger 32 and potato 33. Actually I like the BC barracuda 29" too. Concerning the kick tail they a have a would say a micro kick tail. When you lean backwards you pop the front so enough for me. I just need it for sharp turns, I don’t plan any ollies

stormboard1 · February 24, 2018, 7:49pm

Exactly what I want hmmm to change to potatoe 33 or stay with the spud I love kicktails…however the landyachtz dinghy with the bigben enclosure looks like best option

rey8801 · February 24, 2018, 10:40pm

With the potato you have a bit more of kicktail. Although it you decided for the spud probably portability is important for you, than the spud is perfect.

ATLesk8 · February 25, 2018, 12:43am

I can definitely kick pivot the spud as it has the tiniest of kicktails. It’s great for what’s needed. I don’t need a huge kicktail

faithfulpuppy · February 25, 2018, 1:29am

it’s not so much a kicktail as is is the fact that the wheels are centered under the truck, so the point of contact is about an inch in from the end of the board. The trucks really do mount at the very end.

ATLesk8 · February 25, 2018, 1:33am

Oh and I redrilled the front holes so now my truck us super far up to make for enclosure room
