the pin is made out of s glass i think so go with the pin

[T-Bone]

ya. a lg. is s-glass but does anybody no if a medium is. he's like gunna be between sizes when he gets his next board.

[Rockporter9]

I'd go for the sol pin

[T-Bone]

ok thanks, but duz anybody know if medium pins are s-glass or e-glass?

[Gimme the Loot.]

look on skimshop

[T-Bone]

i have. and it doesn't say. and i can't get to sol's website for some reason.

[SoulSkimmerShorts]

sol doesnt have a website...yet. i think pins are regular fiber glass unless it says so, like a "texilium wrap" or something.

[T-Bone]

a large pin is s-glass, but skimshop says nothing about materials on a medium pin.

[Iwantazap]

get a large zap wedge :-D

[SoulSkimmerShorts]

i think you are obsessed with zaps bro.

[omi one]

All pins are s glass. It's a good starter board. I know nothing about vics.

[shiznit]

i'd go with the pin cause i'm pretty sure a sols are s glass except like the rocket

[Luff]

Ah, I didn't know that about Sols. Well, then out of your two definately the Sol.

[T-Bone]

thankyou. i'm glad everybody says sol, cept for Iwantazap(he's crazy for zaps), cuz sol makes really tight boards. now the question is pads. i run xtraks and like them, but supposedly beakers are better. opinions plz.

[Flskimmer23]

i run on xtrak 2, but i'd really consider the beaker

[Luff]

I have the Beaker set up and I love it. It's softer than X-Trak I believe. It's awesome. Good coverage too.
