Redmo you ass, noone gives a fuck about you...but they all give a fuck about mike slotta!

Although you have now figured out that these are two different boards, the question is...how long will it be before downhill companies start overlapping models? Sooner or later we are going to see more and more people doing their own versions of already existing, hot selling boards...just like street skating, it will turn into a battle of who has the better graphics to win the love of a 12 year old. Hmmm, it will be an interesting era...
As small and grassroots as all you original folk want this sport to be, its growing like mad...and there is gonna be some interesting business coming along with it. Fortunately though, as a grass roots community is genrally like...those products will probably be boycotted, haha.

I heard the other day that London drugs now sells longboards...HAHA!
