Slice & Dice

Your kitchen at home is just about the best place to set up your woodshop. Where else in the house are you close enough to the refrigerator to grab a cold beer to sip on while you make those critical cuts? And what goes better with alcohol consumption than skateboarding – pretty much nothing, right? My kitchen is my sanctuary - where it all goes down. Seen below is the rough *cough// cut of my interpretation of the Krooked Zip Zinger. The goal is to create an around town monster with enough width to provide the necessary stability for constant pushing. The traditional ZZ is 7-1/4’’ wide – my model, measures in at 8-1/4’’. The ZZ is meant to ride loose – it’s a full on style machine; however, try hittin’ the gas down Atlantic Avenue in traffic on a 7-1/4’’ loosie and you may sprout a couple of extra grey ones. The length is 31-1/2’’ and I opted to reserve the length for the tail, that’s the surfer talking. More photos to follow -
