PAUL PRICE ROADSTER

Paul,

I've been exchanging emails with Don about your deck. A couple of questions. What's the wheelbase and is there any camber to the deck. I'm just about to pull the Paypal trigger to buy one.

Nice one Gary. You are a discerning gentleman with impeccable taste.

hi gary
yes,it is possible to send a roadster to the us-please shoot me an e-mail again,it seems that i didn't get your initial e-mail.i do have a few orders from the us at the moment and sending out the boards as a bulk shipment makes things cheaper.
thanks for your patience
don

I awaiting an answer to my email asking if it's possible to get one of these shipped to the USA. I really want one.

Thanks to Donald at PAVEL http://www.pavel-skates.com for finishing the latest refinement of the Roadster design.

The concave has been optimised and the finish is truly excellent. Get yours now!

The roadster concept is like that of the LWS sports car, light weight, good grip and rear-wheel drive. Think of the classic roadsters like the Lotus Elan and Jaguar XK120, and more recently the Mazda MX-5 .

For more on the roadster concept see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadster

The concave gives good grip for the feet and the tail and flared wheel arches means maximum rear foot power for brutal pumping acceleration.

A good picture of the concave and steep tail to hold the rear foot in place under power

The unique design of the flared wheel arches means it's wide where your feet go

A sleek finish matches the beautiful lines

The inspiration behind the roadster skateboard

THANK YOU!

I won't be spending the winter season snowboarding for the first time since 1997! I hope we get some dry weekends so we can get to skate this winter.

CHEERS!

Good luck in Morro, boss!

Well I survived my fall in Bude.

And I survived the bombs in London.

Now I have to survive Riga and Stockholm.

Duck and dive I say. Bring it on.

That board looks sick! I want to see pictures of you riding the park on it.

Paul Price · Post by **Paul Price** » Sat Jun 25, 2005 9:54 pm

Well Donald brought the latest Paul Price model Roadster prototype to Switzerland and its just getting better! Thanks Team Pavel! www.pavel-skates.com

The new board has got really steep concave on the nose. Anyone who rides concave pool boards will feel at home on this board. The steep tail means kick turns are possible. I rode this board at Watlington Skatepark too.

I really like the new Turner-like finish, the foam under the carbon is now super curved and flowing. I like the custom badges.

The wedged rear truck can be seen here -

A nice view of the outline, note you can see the front wheels when you ride it - car type roadster badge is a nice touch

The car like wheel arches over the wheels hold your rear foot in place (and are very sexy)

Want more concave?

You got concave!!!

Justin Pannulla · Post by **Justin Pannulla** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 11:16 pm

Ooohh that board is looking nicer and nicer every time i see it, i want one!

(no offense meant at all , but looking at the shape from the side [middle picture] reminds me of an insole for a sneaker, a really BIG sneaker!)

Maybe thats why the feet feel so comfortable on it!

Paul Price · Post by **Paul Price** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 7:01 pm

I finally got photos of the mark II protoype Roadster.

It features more concave, flared wheel arches and a carbon look, but is already being improved to have more concave, a smoother foam transition and more agressive styling!

The next improved Mark III board has just been completed in the Pavel workshop.

This board is like any fast sports car; lightweight, perfectly balanced and lots of rear wheel drive power from the wedged tail.

Note the metal Roadster badge near the rear truck.

This photo shows the wedge tail and concave spoon nose.

Here a rear view shows off the dewedged rear truck (and more nice graphics)

And heres another sort of truck - my Toyota Surf - note the Pavel wheel cover.

Sorry Heiko, but with a baby 3 months in intensive care (she is OK now) and working for only $7.25 per hour for the resoert to keep my visa, I will have to leave you and Vincent to battle it out for Europe's top Amateur spot

I am saving my pennies for Morro and will be on my own shape torsion core deck by then, apparently it eats bamboo....

Take care,

Martin, do we see you on a european contest this year? Maybe I come to the worlds but nothing sure yet...best regards Heiko

Martin Drayton · Post by **Martin Drayton** » Fri May 20, 2005 4:29 am

Well done on your Paris results Paul, you are truly World class!
Your friend,

Paul Price · Post by **Paul Price** » Wed May 11, 2005 1:38 am

Well spotted! It is a prototype! Yes, after this photo was taken I moved the back truck further forward and wedged it more so it is negatively wedged. So now the trucks are positioned like a normal set up, but the kicktail acts like a wedge to keep that back foot locked in.

Interestingly, I raced Snowboards in the 2001 FIS World Cup and these race boards have a huge wedge under the rear foot, like a reverse gas pedal. It means the response going from toe edge to heel edge is that much quicker. Same idea here with the slalom skateboard.

Jonathan Harms · Post by **Jonathan Harms** » Tue May 10, 2005 6:19 pm

It's always interesting to see new shapes. I'm curious about the kicktail you mention. Your rear truck is mounted pretty close to the end of the tail. Does the upturn start before that point? Do you have any photos that show the deck from the side?

Paul Price · Post by **Paul Price** » Tue May 10, 2005 3:24 pm

I am happy to announce that I am now riding for the Pavel Racing Pro Team.

Pavel is a well known-name in European skateboarding. Pavel has long been famous for its hard-core roots. Now its cutting edge use of new technologies and innovative design will put Pavel on the slalom racing map.

The new Pavel "Roadster" Paul Price model is close to being perfected. I am very excited about the board, which I designed with sports car influences rather than the traditional surf board shape and its non-functional narrow tail. With lots of input from the Pavel team of designers and builders my vision has come to life!

It is wider at the rear for better grip and acceleration and has wheel arches for power and control. The concave and spooned nose give terrific front foot-hold and the width at the rear and kick-tail make for some super rear-wheel drive power. Pumping this board is amazing. This combined with high tech construction techniques make for a light-weight fast board that is like nothing you've seen or ridden.

Hope you like it!

cheers!

Hot dang, Donald; just caught the proto designs on:

http://www.3dcar-gallery.com/002_old_00 ... 0Pavel.htm

It looks like some crazy mixed-up mean mother-luvvin' jive-assed hot-roddin' carve m'chine;
but where'd ya put yer feet?

Lookin' forward to a test drive!

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Mon Apr 11, 2005 11:00 am

don't mention the website,it will happen soon.
we are so crazy,we only test and develop and race.
the world needs new and innovative stuff.
paul took some time from his busy schedule off to develop the outline for his roadster model,the mould will be cast this week(shaped by steve,who has rich surfboardshaper background),the first roadster will be done end of this week.
this will be the craziest,but most fundctional shape you guys have ever seen in your life.
it will also feature most of the innovations we made during the winterseason.
made out of canadian hard-rock maple,high density foam-core,aerocraft fiberglass and epoxy,carbon fibre-this board will sport in form,function,concaves,the really latest improvements that are available on the market.
the board has an aggressive,very responsive flex,no sag,a pumping-weapon,plus you'll have
loads of traction and control on this deck.
no more need for those shitty toe-stoppers,hahahahahaha
i'll post pictures immediately,once the beast is ready.
please stay tuned for more info end of this week,hopefully...
thanks for all the interest and numerous e-mails,i received so far-nobody will be disappointed.
