Carver Skateboards

Again, bro, I'm still here. Just not too stoked on the forum in the last month and really no time for much either. Not on here every day, but at least every couple I quickly scan treads for any normalcy and valuable surf content, which is rare lately here. Busy with work out the wazoo. Always am this time of year. Plus this snow bro, this snow is a further impediment to life.

As for the OP, dude, do a search like they said to and you'll see the light.

Hope you cats are good!

 

So glad I spent the cash on the carver. Shop owner told me if I didnt love it to bring it back and he'd give me my money back, but he knew I wouldn't be bringing it back. My surfing has def improved since.

Also provides a fun option for when Lake Atlantic shows her b!tchy side

 

The surfskate looks interesting. Anyone here had the chance to try both the carver and the surfskate?

 

Nah Carvers work great in skateparks as long as you respect what they do and don't do. I ride a 42" Flowmaster with C7s and it's the tits for cruising around in bowls. Just get used to the feel and don't go fakie and it is fine.

 

Haven't taken mine to the skatepark before but I can see it being a blast in a bowl.

 

They're all milled(trucks) in the same factories...same size bolts...

 

I was very tentative about it at first bc I hadn't skated vert since the 80s. Now it's my go-to substitute when I can't surf.

 

Might have to try it out

 

Yes the spacing is the same

 

Hanna, I just measured the holes on the deck of my Carver Taylor Knox (complete):
2-1/8" by 1-5/8"

C7 better pumping than CX from what I understand. I have C7 on front.. have not tried CX. Rears are C2, which are like basic/ standard trucks.

 

From the faq on the carver Web site:

What’s the difference between the C7 and the CX?

The C7 is our signature surfskate front truck, and it has an incredible amount of pump and turning radius. It has a spring loaded swing arm that allows the nose of the board to sway slightly from side to side, essentially allowing you to snap your turns from the tail and pump effortlessly for speed.

The CX is our reverse-kingpin surfskate front truck, and it also has more pump and tighter turning than any other reverse kingpin truck on the market, but without any other parts. It has a similar feel to the C7 but is less extreme, so if you want a more familiar feel to your board but want to pump and surf, then the CX is the truck you want.

Never too old...

 

Correct. The screws were Hex/Allen headed, so it made it easy to measure center to center.

My 1980's Powell & Peralta w/ Indy trucks has a different dimensions, so things changed over the years.

 

That's how I think too, and I'm quite a bit younger. These days, even though I'm just fun-skating little ledges, two/three stairs, and mini ramps, I still have managed to get hurt every year ...
