Pass the Flexboardz ATB

If the opportunity comes up, if there is enough interest I will pass mine or a demo board around for input and responses.....
any takers?
I have a Haize board coming, and that would be the board I would send around.

I am not sure, as where it goes has a bit to do with it. It will go as one piece and not broken down, I hope or we will see.

Flexboardz

My name is Dave and I bought a Haize about 2 years ago direct from Flexboardz in France and paid about $1000 to get it here..."sometimes no risk no rewards". My buddy and I took turns pulling each other around the neighborhood behind his motorcycle...dumb dumb dumb...I know, but there was no wind that day. We both had a blast and came through it unscathed and big smiles. I have been called crazy more than once about all my endevers, but I can assure you guys, this board is the Rolls Royce of skateboards. The board defines plush and inspires confidence no matter ability. I have let many friends take a ride and they all agree it's a bench mark in skateboard design. All boards have their weaknesses and this one is no different. The only major maintenence involves keeping all the deck to rail screws tight or locktighting them and replacing the rubber washers/bushings when they wear out. My Haize weighs about 20lbs, 10lbs of which are probably wheels and tires. I run slicks for parking lots and they work fine on packed sand as well. The Haize is heavy for jumping but I leave my jumping for over water. It's made for great ground handing...you don't need a special board to jump with...just something that don't break. If I wanted to jump a Flexboardz I would definity get a smaller one. I have been at wind skating about 18 years now starting with modified skateboards and windsurfing sails. Since then I have tried some of the craziest boards, skates, sails, and kites imaginable. This ones a keeper and
This review and my one time presence on this forum is based solely on the fact this board and it's designer deserve my thanks. I have worn 3 sets of tires out and my friends are ready to get one as soon as they are available. I have allready contacted Flexboardz to put my order in for the smaller Karrika. I do a lot of parking lot windskating and when the wind gets lighter I sometimes have to resort to using a longboard with big urethane wheels. There is no match for pnematic tires (first time your urethane stops dead on a tiny rock you will understand) and the Flexboardz truck design and I believe the lighter Karrika with the smaller high pressure tires will provide less rolling resistence. If any body has any more questions..."thekitedude@aol.com" If you really have the passion for the ultimate board...this is the one. Good winds to all of you..........

I've wanted to try one of these for awhile now, but the reps I've spoken to have not been able to direct any product to Colorado.(though the website is built by a colorado company....) What's happening? Is this being passed or not? If so, can I get in?

I just emailed flexboardz asking why their rep "kip" had made promises he was not keeping to a group of people.

I also explained that this group of people he was disappointing included a number of people who:
1. own stores who may sell the product
2. own ATB boards who may buy the product

Hopefully a representative who is interested in actually building any rep (AND MAKING SOME @#$%^ SALES) will contact me/us

Jeff-for the record, in the first post, you "have a haize coming".... I take it you never got one?

Well in all fairness, a new manufacture, products shipping from other country's, and all the other crap that has to be dealt with, not a lot you can do.
But you have to keep the lines of communications open!!!!!!!!

After I got the Christmas card from them, showing the pallet of boards in the warehouse, I was told they will be in the states in about a month.

So, needless to say I have no board, no word and have run very short on patience.

And no response to my latest email.

Maybe they are hooked up with Ozone :lol:
