LOL, uhhh they dont say anything. They look an awful lot like this keychain i made out of some scraps i cut away from a board. Little babies, lol. Gonna need some "evening glassoff" like conditions to rock those thingems with super sharp edges. And a hockey stick ;)

2nd gen custom 56 boards ready

First pair were stiff and needed some fine tuning. Made some adjustments and got the 2nd gen 56's. These look promising...just need snow!

Had no idea it was so tough designing boards. I can almost put these babies in my pocket!

Tried a dozen companies, nobody took the challenge...except Brazen!

Spent about 6 hours on 2ng gen boards. Maybe 35 runs or so. Still have to try on nice groomed snow. Only had frozen granular, crud and mash potatoes to run on.

In any case, I'm retiring my Bigfeet 63's and going to the Brazen's Pocket Rock-It 56's for snow skates...LUV THEM, will buy about 6 to 8 pair!
