Skimboard Blank Sale - 50 x 19" Blanks

Skimboard Blank Sale - 50 x 19" Blanks:

Here is your chance to start making your own boards.  Start off with an engineered cut blank with the rockers already cut in place for the front and rear.  All you have to do is finish the rails, apply the art and start glassing.  These are 2 # (Pound) Density Styrene blanks with no art or glass or resin on them.  You will need to finish these boards before riding.  Put on your DIY hat and start skimming right away.

The size of the boards are 50" x 19" wide and 3/4" thick.  You can shape the rails and the tail of the board to your specifications or just use the design I have cut.  The rails will come squared off so you will need to shape them.

These blanks can only be constructed with EPOXY Resin.  Polyester resin will NOT work on these boards.  Use any glass you like and even Carbon Fibre and Kevlar.  Just have fun with it.

The Price of the blanks are Discounted at $50.00 + $18.00 shipping to your Continental USA address.

Only a few blanks left so don't miss out.  Go to http://www.red5ive.com/ and click on the Blanks link at the top of the page and use the "Buy it now" button.  This will direct you to Paypal to finish the transaction.

For every blank purchased I will throw in a Red Five Tee shirt and some stickers.

Wheel Park in Aurora Colorado

Just got back from Colorado. Aurora is next to Denver, although I didn't get a chance to check out Denver Skatepark I did check out Wheel Skatepark. This park rocked!!! Huge skatepark and BMX park right next to it. The Skatepark is Bike Friendly. The large bowl had about 7 guys riding bikes. A couple of guys were pulling off 7 foot airs flawlessly. If you get a chance you should check out this park. Worth the ride or drive.....
