cut the ends off an old wakeboard, grip tape the top, and you have a skate with more life and pop than the "liCquOid PforcYe" decks

This isn't about buying a new skate, I got my cassette which I ride mostly. I just wanna mess around with the shape of it, whack on a new base and see what I got. I reckon its pretty fun, if it turns out that it rides well then great, if it doesn't it doesn't matter I'll use it as a bench or mount it on the wall for decoration purposes. I'll post a pick of it when it gets done. 8) 8)

seriously dude, if they break when they are new and untouched, then what makes you think that after you've messed with the ply sheets and shape that it will even float!?! Unless you want to make something decorative like a bench, table shelf etc... then don't waste your time and money.
**** i just read you wanted to use it for sliders and kickers. Right dude, I'm gonna hunt you down and steal that board before you really hurt yourself. I cannot express this enough. I have seen 3 of these skates break on the first day of use, without going any where near an obstacle. Forget about it.

liquid force boards suck my left nut. but if you did waste your money on it, and you want to save it, the only way is to completey cover up the bottom with epoxy and then let it dry for a few days then spray a sheet of fiberglass over the bottom. then your pretty much riding a hype which is even worse
