Here's my newest baby. I needed a new Hybrid/Tight board that was a little more narrow in the front, and wider in the back (just how I like my women ;) ) and of course, Fatboy came through with another awesome board:

I saw the bat wing design on Paul's board in Needham, and I thought it looked really cool, so I had to bite his style a little bit. Hope you don't mind Paul :)

Hey Joe,

Great response, love it. Hopefully, its as fast as the batmobile.

After talking with you and Fatboy, I decided against the stinger shape. However, I wanted something with a little flair. I used the shape of Ron's board but had the tail tapered and added the bat shape. He did a great job. It's exactly how I envisioned the board.

Customer service was great and the turn around time is off the charts. Custom boards in one to two weeks.

I'm going to order a smaller version for the kids to learn on.

Thanks again Fatboy and Joe.

sorry about the grainy pictures :(

I gotta get a better set up for photos

Oh, and nice call on Tom Sims, Joe. Paul said he wanted it to look like a Taperkick ;)

Like Fatboy said, they were modified by Tyler H. and Herb N. of Skatewerks. The set screw is for the axle and the spacer is modified for Biltin bearings. They also have 8mm axles and speedrings set in the face of the hanger.

Sorry guys, the wallpaper was there when I moved into the apartment, but if your really jonesin for it, I can ask my landlady where she got it ;)

I started sumptin good. FYI, The OG FatBoy 6 went to Hobby Hill Saturday and beat the nearest competitor by nearly 8 tenths of a second.

Still set up the same way as the picture above, in fact I haven't even wrenched it. The Mutha flies.

Beautiful board Sensei! Is that a quilted maple stringer?

hey yeah, Rob - do you have any more of that wallpaper layin' around? I'd love to put that on the bottom of a deck!!

Those trucks are modified by Tyler and Herb from Skatewerx. The set screw locks in the axle.

I rode that board last night - very cool.

Indeed! When I was looking at it I got worried that it was way too thick, but after standing on it and riding around a bit it felt perfect. Wasn't nearly as tall as I thought.

Man, that sure looks like a cool setup, Marty!

El Gordo Nino de sies

First of all let me thank Ron, El Gordo Nino hisself, for building this for me. It's 34 inches long to handle the fastest of GS hills, Trade, Hobby, New Yawk, Ohio, Golden, etc....

I didn't plan on making it a six until it arrived. It was so simple. Ron had drilled the tail for multiple truck positions, I just drilled two more forward holes and was done.

The rear truck sits on a 1/4 inch shock, topped with a 10 degree Khiro, topped with a four degree out of my new riser kit. The inside rear sits on a 1/8 shock topped with the same 10, but finished with a 3 degree. Why, I dunno, it seemed like a good idea at the time. The inside rear does not touch the ground until you get on it, and according to Chaput, this is the way it should be.

The preliminary runs down the hill outside my house felt amazing. Words cannot describe the feeling of control it possesed. I am looking forward to shaking it out at Trade & Hobby very soon.

Rock on Team FatBoy!!!!!

Right on Marty!

Fatboy and I are very interested in your expert opinion of the board.

Joe

I agree.

Yeah it is a killer shape. I can say that because I am looking at it sitting on my kitchen counter.

THAT"S RIGHT BABY, I won me a FATBOY!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a great picture Tway! Am I to believe that it is one of your creations or are my parents going to see this cab in Cancun later this month while on vacation? We might need a bigger shop to handle the south of the boarder orders.

HOLY MOLY!

Jeez... Weird!

I had a dream a few nights ago that there was a Team Fatboy car...

It was a bright taxi yellow colored VW Beetle...

Then, it had this weird paint job... The big bump of the top of the car was painted as some fat guy's belly... and then a giant head made of metal was coming out of the trunk... and two legs made of metal were coming out of the front bumper ...

Basically it looked like a fat guy sleeping on his back with a fat stomach...

It rocked!
