i would but i don't have the cajones to drill holes in mine. not yet anyway. it was the first red one that lonnie ever did and it's pretty choice. i love to just pick it up and hold it in my hands. the mellow concave along with the massive rocker, combined with it's slight heft.. well, i honestly can't think of the right words to describe what it's like.

*and* it has the cool stickers that bernie designed and jeffe had made up!

do you enjoy skating yours?

It's a little on the soft side for me but I would'nt sale it for any thing. Lonnie sent it to me and I told him it will go in the box with me when I DIE! Definitly a keeper for life.

Nice!
I've looked at Lonnie's site, but I can't afford it.

okay. i'm just hesitant to post up actual pics since it's not set up, but i'll post some links so you fellas can get a better idea as to what it looks like.

this is a mock-up shot, sans hardware, of how i intended to set it up. krux trucks that jeffe turned me onto and, of course, some ultra minidubs, that i had dyed a red fade, to make the circle of life complete.

here is a good shot of the sticker that bernie designed. cool as hell.

here are some to show the shape a little better (pic3, pic4, pic5, pic6). it's 10.5" by 33". i was considering an 18" wheelbase. i know, i know... i should grow some balls and set it up.

These two epic Lonnie Bamboos aren't mine, just verifying that it is indeed Mr Toft signing my deck.

Edited 3/29/10. Replaced new school "clear" grip on tail w/ new Old School Clear Pizza Grip from Skikatdaddio. That's a Tshirt in the frame with Lonnie's sig.

Sounds like it's too late anyway, but someone said they couldn't afford one anyway. My question is How much did they cost?

Each one of those decks was an experiment for Lonnie...he just kept throwin 'em at me!....it was terrible!  jajajaja 

...From top to bottom:

1) 4-ply with slight rocker...Bottom veneer finish to add stiffness.

2) 5-ply with slight rocker...I wanted the natural bamboo to be visible so to compensate for the stiffness the veneer added he added an extra ply.

3) 5-Ply with bevelled rail. The rails were reinforced with carbon fiber. Keeler deck!

4) First new gen eight he made other than his own. 4 ply with slight rocker.

5) 4 Ply eight with slight rocker and slight concave. One of my faves. The concave also ads a slight bit more stiffness to the deck.

6) Big Red. A full 14" wide with Concave. A BEAST!
