nope.. they have those little round raised areas. its just supposed to make the area you slide on smaller, so theres less friction, and you can slide smoother/further/easier. or, thats what its supposed to be for.. who knows if it really works.

I'd get the Toy Machine. Hope your happy with whatever you end up with.

I am NEVER getting a popwar deck again. Mine snapped in two days. I tried a kickflip over a two stair and it broke. I was like WTF.

Tum Yeto has a deck design similar to this too i think, with small raised ridges and whatnot, but I'm not sure what it's called.

toy machine/popwar/foundations are good but go with the popwar for sure if its only 40$ its an awesome deck for an awesome price.

is the slick drops really gonna do me any good? I dont like fancy random stuff that drops the true quality of the board

it might not help, but it doesnt make the quality of the board worse. its the same thing as a normal board, but they put little raised things on the ends on the outside.. nothing taken away/etc.. its just like if you glued little thin round pieces of wood on.
and it wont make it slide WORSE, so it will either be the same or a little better.

Toy used new wave and that is used with the same idea as the slicks. But is on the whole board.

toy has it on every board?
GrizzledJASPER
06-27-2006, 03:53 PM
No, only some, just like Popwar only has it on the slick drops.
kcirtap
06-27-2006, 04:06 PM
its called new wave, go with that foundation, $35 is super-tastic for a tum yeto deck
airickq
06-27-2006, 04:33 PM

airickq
06-27-2006, 07:14 PM
the habitat looks the best and its 5ply random cool stuff and it must be light so im going with the habitat, and if they dont have it im gonna get the foundation
PEACE SUCKAS!
spenser
06-27-2006, 10:54 PM
id go with the habitat for 5$ more.
but yeha, 35 is really good for a tum yeto board. theyre 35$ wholesale.
