| I'd like to see an article on the popsicle evolution. A little something about how when an am worked their way up & turned pro they got to shape their own board and stuff like that. |

Id like to see the whole process nowadays from veneer to press to finishing to screening. Im sure its ALOT different then when they were made back in 87-88 when I worked at UWS,
OR... maybe somethings dont change that much..???

| Anybody see that segment in the Northwest DVD about M&M skateboards making their own decks? That hell of ruled. Also, did CW ever do an F13 article? I smoke copious amounts of weed, so I can't remember... |

| Tom's got it there... maybe a short timespan from the oak plank to the "polybendum-nanokevlar topweaved foam-core" pig. Maybe 75 to 80? |

Howdy,
ABSOLUTELY!!!
My first decent deck was a Logan Earth Ski oak 7 1/2 x 28"
deck...a hold over from making decks in your garage out
of scrap wood.(with a glued on kick tail)
How quickly was that kind of construction followed by the
Kryptonics Foam Core(with a P-Tex bottom)?! Not to mention
Wes Humpston and Jim Muir's contribution to the skate world
of "The Pig" deck. And the first concave production deck
the DT "Tri-Plane".
Vilms has a good time frame; '75-80.
Sorry, I couldn't give a flying f#*k about popsicle sticks. They
haven't changed in 15+ years.(except to get narrower and more
poorly made.)

| Manufacturers used to vary the construction of the decks to make something that was differentand marketable. Casters used fiberglas and superior glues, Sims did different things all the time too. Taperkicks were nice enough to hang over the mantle. Not just different graphics, or shapes, THOUGH THOSE WERE COOL CHANGES IN THEIR TIME TOO. |

I didn't mean a story on popsicles.... rather the break away from decks that have shape. It seems like the companies all did it togeter within the span of a year.
The same thing with trucks. Why did they move the bolt holes up? |

| I thought the bolt holes thing was to stop the outer bolts getting munged when dropping in: Hence the move to beyond the pivot. |
