arch bar?

[cbskimer_gma]

wich is the best arch bar? size and company please.

are they any good?

i see alot of pros with them.

[jake]

everyone has a different opinon. i personally use x-trak because it feels best to me. but some people swear by poorboy..or they used to at least

[idrathrbskimmin]

i love poorboy. Try to get one while they are left beacuse they are going out of business. i also like x-trak.

hope that helps

[oddphase]

I use poorboy although I also hear good things about teh astrodeck.

How benificial are arch bars anyways? Im rinding my first board with a back pad... i like it, and i can pop my board a little higher with it, but whats great about the arch bar? my wax is workin good as it is..

[exileskim21]

i like xtrak xray, i have plenty of traction for my feet with that

[kcskimkid]

i happen to like astrodeck. they are deff. worth it.

[idrathrbskimmin]

they are really worth it. I feel a lot more, for lack of a better word, traction. lol

and you can also kinda tell where one the board your foot is.

[Jasen]

some people use astro, mostly cause mr bryan uses it.

i use x trac

if u want poorboy better gete, now since no more will be made/:

[kcskimkid]

anything is better than nothing.

[Gary Velo]

x trac long bar never had one fall of yet

[keensab]

search!







haha jk

xtrak hurts my feet. its too hard for me. i use astrodeck b/c its abit softer.

some people perfer just wax with a back pad.

[vicskim4406]

I use a 10" xtrak archbar and its great, but I regret not buying an astrodeck =/

[dEUZ]

astrodeck is smooth, and it sticks really well to your feet.

[vicskim4406]

astrodeck is smooth, and it sticks really well to your feet.
Yeah unfortunately I didn't find that out until after I bought the xtrak =[

[kcskimkid]

astrodeck is smooth, and it sticks really well to your feet.

for sure

[Digital Rapture]

From the research I did, I found that more people chose the Astrodeck Beakers because of their comfort and grip.

[eastcoasthurl]

i just bought my arch bar for my other board, posting soon, 18 white astrodeck

[kcskimkid]

white astrodeck OWNZ all.

[veniceskim4]

I have used x-trak and astrodeck and I would go with the astrodeck.

[jake]

when i used my friends astrodeck, it seems like my foot would slip around the pad... i didnt like it. and then last week i was just chillin and this kid had his back pad like.. if you had a normal back pad, and put on right in front of it, thats where it was.. and i was like uhhh why do you have it up so high? and he's like well thats where my foot lands when i jump in it. it was some kooky shit

[Tear Down Your Idols]

i use and love my poorboy hi-lo bar, its big and real comftorable, but all pads are good, its all about prefrence and price.

[Brave H]

Uhhhh.... no arch bar is better than anything.... wax nubs are all you need.

[vicskim4406]

Uhhhh.... no arch bar is better than anything.... wax nubs are all you need.
I highly disagree. It's just an oppinionated topic to talk about.

[Brave H]

Well you do skim in florida... and you can highly disagree all you want it doesn't mean a thing to me...

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

Well Im getting a new board soon and Im debating whether to just go ahead and get another Astrodeck Arch or a Poorboy Arch.. Ive never ridden a poorboy one but I do love my Astrodeck Beaker Arch. Id love to hear benefits of each type, if there are any main differences, or preferences.

Get the Astro

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

Alright, thanks.

[Xapa]

astro

[OtotheZ]

astrodecks for life.. they feel just right under my feet

[WOODOO]

astrodeck feels great and looks the best

[superskimcdy]

x trak

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

My current set up on my Zap is Xtrak back pad and front Beaker Astro. I like it, but my Exile coming in is gonna have the Beaker back and beaker front.

[XtortioN]

I have a beaker back and a beaker arch bar. I use to like X-trak more, but after riding astrodeck I never wanna go back.

[cbskimer_gma]

i think i have made up my mind.




astro deck


but how long? and wide?

[XtortioN]

I would go with the back beaker pad and the 18'' beaker arch bar if I were you.

[SteveTaylor]

I like the astrodeck beaker better than the poorboy ones because the poorboy one's don't stick up as much and they feel slicker to me then the beaker arch. but fuck both of those...

[omi one]

Eventhough you've made up your mind... I feel the poorboy arch bars give you more traction per area covered. If you shove it, or ollie there's plenty to go around. It's really long and your feet will more likely always land on your arch bar.

[SteveTaylor]

you love that it's really long.

[rick.MIAskim]

astro has my vote.. i've only used xtrak's and my current beaker arch.. i've like the beaker arch best

[kcskimkid]

astrodeck. ive tried alot of them and astro has a good feeling.they are all good though.
