Thanks that answers most all the questions.

I love the new boards just wish their was green colorway as it is my favorite color. Also green boards look the best in all snowskate movies and pictures. A green board will draw more attention. More attention = More questions asked by bystanders. More questions asked = more people interestead in AmbitionSnowskates.

I have a thought.

Would Ambition ever think of building a more natural looking board? The board I think of when the words "Natural Board" come to mind would have a see through polyethylene base showing a beautiful laminate hardwood(ex.quilted mahagany). To solve the logo problem a wood burner could be employed to put the logo on the laminate or the team player could artigraph the boards giving each a greater value. This would run the price up and the amount of work involved in making it but I think the result would sell well. Aswell you'll would be the only retailer of a "Natural Board".

Hey man, awesome idea, we already tried, unfortunately it's impossible to get a clear enough base in the thickness we use (remember we cut our grooves out of the base, hence it needs to be twice as thick). That's why we don't do show through graphics. Icon did your ''natural'' board idea but as you can see the material is not clear enough to really show anything.

Ok. I can see why.

Earlier you said that the CFT didn't make much of a difference. If you weighed a Smage CFT board and the new Smage signature board, what would be there weights? What were the problems with the CFT? If I were to buy a Smage CFT board were would I look?

I will soon expect to be ordering an Ambition Board. All my questions are asked so I can make the best choice and hopefully help others when they make their educated choice too.

The weight difference would be negligable, actually this year's decks are pressed so accurately that we can lower the amount of resin used and still get a stronger but lighter skate. So if anything this year's lighter, but by a a quarter pound margin or so (you will not notice it).

I really liked the Green board on Snowskate aliens. Was that the Gerlach Snowskate with CFT? Is it waxable?
