I got sick of modding my dsm because we all know it's the coolest/fastest thing on the block. So I went out and bought a goped. A buddy of mine had this thing sitting around for a couple years after he busted the recoil. I've decided to keep a very close eye on every little thing I spend on this so I don't get too outa hand like my dsm haha. I bought it for $150 and purchased a new recoil for $25 right away. Since they I've purchased a new T bar after I broke my old one trying to bed it back into shape.
Here's a couple pics of when I bought it. Very dirty I know.
Everything dissasembled and cleaned up a bit.
New stained and varnished deck. Awaiting new griptape.
That's where I'm at now. I've sanded down and repainted a few little parts so they don't rust, but other than that I'm just waiting for a few parts to arrive. This thing is way easier and cheaper than my dsm has or will ever be! haha I love it
