One a side note two videos were added to the video section and 20 boards or so have been added to the board gallery.

Update - 11/11/09
It's been a while since the last update. Since school started in September I have very limited free time, so I've only been taking about two orders per week. Recently, I had some issues with my e-mail which caused me to lose a lot of e-mails, one of which included my password to the web server so I haven’t had access for a few weeks.   Also there may have been some customer e-mails, so if you e-mailed me in the past few weeks and haven’t heard back please resend the message.

Since I’m taking limited orders it will work on a waiting list system, if you want a board let me know through e-mail, IM, facebook, or silverfish.  I’ll add you to the list, then when I’m taking more orders I will first contact the first person on the list and so on.  Don’t be discouraged though the list hasn’t gotten longer then 3-4 people and the ones ahead of you might not be definite.

Stay tuned for updates on some recent builds etc.
Thanks your all your support so far,
Rich Nelson

New Online Store! 4/29/09
*First 3 Orders over $15 will receive a free set of Rush Bomber Bearings*
I've been working hard to get the updates to the website done before
summer. The site has been updated with the capability to order custom
boards straight from the website, for the Seasoned Carver and the
Carbon Dropthrough. An online store has also been added in the
'Order' section offering a wide variety of trucks, wheels and bearings.
Currently it is very basic but functional, in the coming weeks I will
be updating it with pictures and more information on all of the products.

Since ordering can now be conducted through the website I have
added an 'estimated build time' below the banner on the top of the
page this will be useful to give an idea of the current build time. Two
new models are also going to be added to the line up, the 'Pheonix
Hybrid" and the 'Half Nelson' mini they can currently be seen in the
gallery and will have their own information/order pages soon.
Lastly I am thinking about adding a section to show the progress of
the current builds which will allow you to easy check on the progress
of your board.

Calabo Innovations FoTB 4/14/09

Since the site is getting a consistent flow of visitors, I figured I could start

HD footage shot over the course of a year by professional cinematographers.

get my hands after it's release on April 17th. You can watch the teaser trailer

I resume building around May 9th and we can work on the details of
the board in the meantime. I should be posting an update or two in the next few weeks as i finish up the board that I'm currently working on.
