DAVE BEDORE STRETCH LIMO DESIGN (Only Available as a Complete Setup) My rationale behind only releasing this design as a "COMPLETE SETUP" is this: My 40 + years of skateboarding experience, which includes skating almost every kind of terrain imaginable, has led me to, what I believe, is the best "ALL AROUND" setup for the majority of us older / mature skaters. There are exceptions of course, but as a general rule of thumb, as we skaters get on in years, our sense of balance tends to waver a bit. Slamming / Falling Hard can be a real and valid concern. Hence my COMPLETE SETUP DESIGN PRINCIPLE, of a relatively larger shaped deck, with a slightly extended wheelbase.... High quality, relatively wide INDEPENDENT trucks and a set of POWELL PERALTA wheels, while not the fastest formula available and also not the lightest wheel set available, but yet have a "GRIP TO SPEED RATIO" that I believe, will help us to skate as safely as possible, while still providing a relatively high level of overall performance. While "POP DECKS" are all the rage with the current younger crowd, (for good reasons), I feel the current "POP DECK" design is not what's "practical" for us over 50 skaters. Like I said before.... There are some older guys who are riding pop deck setups and shredding hard, and that's great and all, but in my opinion, that is not the norm for us older dudes. My experience has shown me that the majority of us over 50 skaters don't need any substantial nose kick,
a 14" wheelbase and relativley skinny and super hard wheels. In many ways we can benefit from a slightly more "DRAWN OUT" design / component application to keep us steady and condfident as we keep skating as long as humanly possible. We keep skating not only because we LOVE it.... but because we "NEED" it. For us "REAL SKATERS", that last "NEED" reference, requires no explanation. In that sense, we are just like our younger counterparts, but at the same time some of us realize that we have "Specialized Needs" when it comes to our Complete Setups. This is what the Uncle Wiggley Skateboards - "Dave Bedore Stretch Limo Design" is all about. Take it or leave it. All this is just my opinion. Your own opinion is yours and I respect that. PEACE~ P.S. As far as the "Pink Color" option.... I will simply state this: If it was cool for ELVIS to cruise around in a PINK CADILLAC.... Then it's cool for us dudes to cruise around on a PINK DECK. Word~
