Ode to the round-tailed quad.

No way he's Dino. Dino's posts were generally funny & sometimes even informed.

happyripper just sounds like a belligerent 12 year old to me.

why can't we all just find some middle ground and agree quads are just a fad and don't go as good a thruster

That depends on who you are really, here are some comparisons

This is Tom McNamee riding a Quad and he can fail to ride a thruster just as well showing their is equality between Quads and Thrusters

As for Kelly Slater, he can ride anything well and even when riding a door in a dinner suit, Tom McNamee still looks like a fool

haha good one

[mustkillmulloway]

wow...never thought i'd see slater on one roys shortboards

[simplesimon]

ah now everyone is going to go and order a door and start riding them 'coz Kelly rode one'.

[Cpt.Caveman]

Just ordered one from Doors Are Us. Couldn't resist the TV ad they had years ago..."for all your door needs!".

Not trying to tell you what to do, just a suggestion, spend the extra coin and get it stained. Sure it will be a lighter if you just get it sanded but it will look sweet for longer with the factory stain.
And avoid the glass panels, they may be a new inovation but there is still a fair bit of perfecting to be done before they get the performance wired.

I'm confused now, can you tell me what Kelly is riding in that pic above and where to get one?

Did you go for an old standard three hinge or the now popular four hinge model....I've heard the three hinge works fine in most situations but the four hinge fits tighter in the jamb...

If you look closely you will notice the 9 concave panels, and it's a square tail (as well as being a square nose), and the rails a pretty hard. Little is right about the quad hinge which works well with the width. Dims are 6'6" x 2'10" x 2".
You can get some cheap one's at Dripping Doors but they are pop out's from China so go for a custom from Simon Andoorson

Actually I thought it was a short promo form Rabbit's story, "Bustin' Down the Door"

Roy doesn't make roller doors, only barn doors, hanger doors and draw bridges.

[disappointed]

Roller doors are good for the big stuff, and doors are good all-rounders but if you want something that will perform on those small fat days try a twin hinge side gate.

[Skipper]

I've put in an order for the latest trap door model.

For days when bondi serves up bottomless pits.
