Mojoslim, sent this email out after recieving his 40" topdeck and I tossed in the toyfish, to see what he thought ...
here's parts of his two part email:
"I got home as sun was going down, and I rode that toy fish till it was dark. A few nice patches of powder in rhe yard, and some node steep starts. That thing is really fun so far.That package pretty much turned my collection from a skate to a quiver. Might take a day off to tomorrow :-D or maybe a half day"
(the next day)
"I had fun with the toy fish yesterday till dusk. I had a good laugh when I read - max weigh 65lbs lol. There were a few spots in the back yard that have just the right amount of powder/decline for that thing. It reminds me of skim boarding, but a big upgrade from a McDonalds tray! But there's also that surfy feeling to it, because you can float up and down on the powder.
Probably throw the toy fish in the car. I often see nice hills, untouched powder, that I always say taht I should hit with a skate."

(thats exactly what that little deck is made for)
......"I rode up at one of the ski mountains for the first time, today. The hill is called Howelson Hill. There was some hiking trails off to the side of the ski hill so my girl and I hiked up a bit and then dropped over a ridge into the ski boundary. Hit some mellow blue/green runs with the Lib48 and chiller deck and it was superfun. Can't wait to go back up with the December Deck and my powder subs and hit some back country powder. I didn't want to change off the trucks last night for fear of completely throwing myself off today with a new board. But i'm likely going to do that tonight. I feel like the 48lib will fit with that deck really well, lengthwise. I'm really bummed that we forgot the camera in the car when we started the hike. Oh well, next time. I don't have any footage of myself with my skates, so there's no proof that I actually ride! haha... I could just be a collector for all anyone knows.
My girlfriend is a snowboard instructor, so she was really worried that i would be eating shit all over the place and not be able to keep up with her. We were both pleasantly surprised that I could.
Alright man, take it easy, and i'll catch you later. Thanks again!
