In related news: S&M just released Chad’s Intrikat in 9inch rise!
Rad,he does backwards carved Pedal 5’s like me.
Chad’s the man!
yes chad!!!
that tweaked out flying lotus bail into the camera looks like yoga
nice. stay classic, function is a good trend
just putting this out there, mfg like PiR incl:
the custom dimension frame thing is dope
but how do riders know what is really good
look at our riding and give us a consultation
instead of making us ride signature frames
good parts / setups can help you ride better
Cool interview. Can’t believe it’s been 6 years on the pegless tip for Chad. That’s so long. I was looking at the sea today thinking that if I continue riding 2 pegs I’ll have to do boomerangs sooner or later.
Stoked they’re doing a couple more sizes of the frame. Great to have lots of options available.

Chad mentions that he’s been working on doing boomerang stuff. I was wondering what kind of stuff he’s doing. Like what he links into. I read this in the morning then went to the beach. I looked at the water and thought about boomerangs and that I should do them too.
(I realised my previous comment maybe made little sense :-))
