......But what should I do?

Click for larger image

I am going to stain it tomorrow a nice cherry color and then I am not sure. I am thinking about putting this:

(only the black)

at the widest part of the nose before the drop. Otherwise, I am not too sure.

Anyone want to draw anything that I can stencil on tomorrow?

Two things, one, thats a sick ass evo you're creating there.  Two, why are you using an evo for commute thats ridiculously unnecessary and inconvenient..?

I never said I used it for commute.

And by that, I am assuming that you mean transportation?

That's pretty sick. I love my evo. I had a friend paint the bottom of mine, and like what you want, it has a tree. I'll get some pics tomorrow maybe.

The last picture you posted would look pretty cool on there. Good luck getting a stencil for it :)

I just bought a new Dervish today. I got some old Randall 180's on it with some new otang 75mm In heats.

It's super fun. Having a nice carving deck that's also a drop down is so fun.

So, um, what exactly is that thing? A snakeboard or just a weird looking longboard?

Never ridden one or looked at one closely. Snakeboard has a pivot in the middle and is separated in two parts (which made my assumption pretty silly because that definitely isn't one). Just asking.

What I meant by "weird" is the unusual shape of the concave, seeing that the tips dive so sharply, compare it to the other pics in this thread of a straight board and it looks like something entirely different.

oh i see.  well yes that is a longboard, it just has a different shape than the one i posted.  the one in the op is a drop down board, meaning the riding surface is lower than the mount for the trucks, so instead of being a flat board, its lower to the ground and allows for better stability at higher speeds.  the board i posted, on the other hand, is completely different in the fact that it has drop through trucks (they go through the board) and is made out of bamboo in order to use the flex of it to carve more (similar to the flex of a ski when put on edge).

Thanks for saving my day! This is how a conversation should go, like it did:

Statement --> Questions? --> Statement --> agree/disagree/more info --> everyone is happy.

Karma for you my friend.

Yup. Landyachtz Evo. Great DH board, and not too bad at sliding either.
