Freak Traction - The Dom II, Black Jack, Invader, or Expander?

[blake1007]

I was hearing crap on other threads from people about how Freaks aren't as good anymore or something since they switched over to being produced in China? Still think I'm going to go with Freaks though because of the support they give to skimmers. I'm deciding between The Dom II, Black Jack, Invader, or Expander. Plus my last board had Paulo OAM's and they felt stiff as shit to me (and non-grippy), dunno why.

Right now I'm leaning towards the Black Jack because it's a one-piece pad (easy/quick to apply) and it has that "raised" area in the middle of the pad (probably helps with grip on turns). I want a pad that's really thin and light too and have never tried any of the Freak models.

Any recommendations?

The Dom II is a one piece pad and has an arch also.

i really didnt know there was actual names to go with the pads. i thot u just called them by color

[carbonisyourfriend]

if you want separate pads get expander if you want one piece get the dom

Is there any significant difference between the Dom and the Dom II besides the new color patterns?

the dom 2is much more aero dynamic, when tested in a wind tunnle is out preformed the original dom at a rate of 4 - 1. The new dom also bosts a material that is 15% lighter, and will make all of your airs aboit 30% higher due to the wieght differential.

The arch is also 20% taller, fitting better into the heels of the people who have high arches (consist of 60% of the united states population.

The new colors also reflect more light, reflecting light holds in heat, giving you more feeling in your feet for crucial turns.







oh btw, its just a fucking pad, they all do the same damn thing.
