MBS Comp 16 Pro Uppers: The Comp 16 Pro is a great ride! The Matrix Channel trucks handle great, and the rock star hubs reduce the weight considerably. F3 Bindings are excellent for control and security. The deck is nice and long which is great for an average adult rider. The deck is also easily upgradeable with baseplates and heelstraps. T1 tread is nice. Downers: MBS=My Board Snaps. That’s just it. No MBS deck is guaranteed not to break BECAUSE... they usually break. Also, Matrix Trucks are hard to maintenance.	From front to Back: MBS Comp 16 Pro MBS Core 16 2004 Edition MBS Jeep Renegade
MBS Core 16 2004 Edition Uppers: Probably one of the best boards for the money it costs to purchase. T1 tread is nice. Tri-spoke hubs won’t break. Matrix trucks respond great. Downers: Said problems with working on/moving matrix trucks. Freeflex bindings suck big time. They are horrible. Tri-spoke hubs are heavy. And now... The Deck. It sucks. The chances of snapping this deck are astronomically greater than snapping the Comp 16 deck. This deck is completely wooden like the Jeep Renegade, whereas the Comp 16 has a wooden core with a composite exterior. The Core 16’s deck is so soft that you will probably bottom out quite frequently on jumps and drop offs/cliffs etc. MBS Jeep Renegade Uppers: The MBS Jeep Renegade is the perfect board for getting riders into the sport due to the fact that its one of the cheapest boards around. It also comes with a brake already installed, which is useful for the beginner. Also, due to the type of trucks and bindings used, it is relatively easy to find most replacement parts that you will need at your local hardware store or skate shop. Downers: Freeflex bindings don’t do a very good job of securing your feet. Deck is 100% wooden (may break-the MBS factor), and is rather short for the average adolescent to adult. You may have really bad toe drag. Comes with skate-style trucks which do not handle nearly as nicely as channel trucks. The hubs are truck-specific (they will not work with Matrix channel trucks). Hubs are heavy-weight.
Trampa 35 Degree Deck, MBS Matrix Trucks, MBS F3 Bindings, Rockstar Hubs, and T1 tread Uppers: The best board I have ever ridden! The Trampa deck is super sweet, and is guaranteed not to break. No wood was used in the construction of this deck. It is awesome. F3 bindings are great for foot security. Matrix trucks ride great. Rockstar Hubs are nice and light. T1 tread is good stuff. Downers: Anything made by MBS can, and probably will, break. Matrix trucks are hard to maintain and switch from board to board. Mongoose Slalom (Frameboard) Uppers: It goes down hills. Downers: Very heavy, very long, and very old. Does not respond well at all. Major pain in the butt.	The Trampa

Creation of the Universes

The Creation of the Universes

The creator of the original universe is, for the purposes of the narrative following this point, referred to as The Overlord. He created the angels, the humans, the demons, everything. After several thousand years, a problem had developed. You see, every time a human began to believe in a “god”, that “god” was actually created, and after 5000 years there were quite a few of them crowding up heaven. Some of them, with a lot of human worshippers, were quite powerful. Anyway, The Overlord needed some way to get rid of them. After some thought, he decided to hold a contest. There were 3562 gods, so he created that many universes other than his own. Each god was given a universe, as well as several lesser angels and demons to command. As long as the god could keep its beings alive and the planets from being destroyed, they stay alive. If your people all die or your planet or universe is destroyed, you vanish from existence. This was 2010 years after the death of The Overlord’s son…..
