Hi all
Thanks for the advice. Just got word that my Roe Unlimited (Performance)is being built this week. I'm pretty stoked. Let's hope that getting back into it will be just like riding a bike - something you never forget how to do!!
Thanks too to Gary Fluitt for all his help and advice.
Keep skating!
Karen H.

Also Karen, Please do not go cutting up the Roe decks. They are shaped and designed by professional racers and craftsmen and need not be altered. Feel free to email me for any specific questions regarding set ups. Terence Kirby

Hi Karen! TK is bang on. I think we met at the Concrete Wave Anniversary party, right?
Get in touch with Rob if you can he has a Roe and it's too bad he just shipped me the one I won at Da Farm or you could have tried it.
We will be getting together to skate at least once before Morro Bay.
Good Luck

K, get the Performance series Unlimited shape in a soft flex with the new seismic 105's 45* front, 30* rear. You will love it. Terence

Hello Karen, and welcome to the website.
The Performance series Roe decks have a “sandwich” construction format, similar to that of Fibreflex slalom boards. Because of this, they can be cutdown to any smaller size, and re-drilled at least a few times.
You might want to re-post this topic in the RoeRacing decks forum.
And if, in the end, you happen to do the cutting of the deck yourself, make sure to take measures that prevent the sawdust from contacting your skin as the carbon and fiberglass will irritate it. Wear a dusk mask especially.

Just wanted to get this question back out in front of those who may be able to answer.

Hi!
I'm a female "SkateGeezer" and am looking into a deck from the Roe Performance Series.
My options are the CrossFire, Bullet or Unlimited styles.
Which Roe deck would you guys recommend for a woman who is 5'2" and about 140 lbs? The boards nowadays are a bit longer and wider than my ole' Fibreflex in the 70's - and I want to be sure the deck isn't going to be too "large" for my frame. I also need something for both TS and hybrid courses.
THANKS!
