RISE if you've not heard is a new 'brand' (for lack of a bettter word) redemption are using, the owner says it motivates him to do work and make a great project, which is great imo. He's working on something a little off from fingerboarding, a handboarding project.
I don't know if thats the old mold or new mold of handboard, but he'll have mellow decks out soon, in different options. He's sourcing trucks + wheels currently, the basic 'tech deck' equivalent hardware will go on decks with the grip you can see there, which is a LOT less grippy than skate grip, so wont hurt your hands. Plans are for there to be foam tape and bearing wheels on the high end setups. I really hope to pick up a deck and some foam tape! Always wanted to try handboarding.
For some news you guys might be interested in a lot more, me + jordan have a fingerboard project we're working on, some very awesome surprises that will be featured on a new shape, the new Medium High deck, which will have kicks like the last medium high deck, but with MMC concave. Sound great!
For now you can follow the RISE handboard progress in this thread here :)
