move to a place where you have to drive more than 45 min to get to a real dh run and, sell your car. when that whole freeriding thing is all you got, you get pretty good at it fast. i'm seriously...
gonna be at barneget tomorrow early. early early, like 5:15-8 or 9. anyone else down? not really a local here and to be honest i have gotten less into skimboarding the past few years anyways so i...
had a fracking bearing seizure pushing 55. gnarly shit. wear your fracking leathers and take care of your road rash, i have a gnarly infection all on my arm. 9 pills of antibiotics a day for 14 days...
yea they are old cored wheels. they seem to work fine for me... whatever floats your boat.
don't keep your back foot so flat on the board, you want to be on your arches kind of. this is a habit i often get into but here is a pic of what i mean.

i had a demo of adobe illistrator that ran out whille i was on vacation so i couldn't print out my templates. i would love a template of a medium length directional topmount around 36-40 inches. it...
everyone told me when i started dh that equipment doesn't matter at all. i ignored them all and wasted a tone of money on shit i didn't need. granted it was a good learning experience, if i were you...
caster- do you have or can you take a picture of your revenger? i want one of the new ones coming out for 11 but i don't want that stupid tail thing and i wanna see what yours looks like. thanks

i forgot how to embed and don't feel like looking it up.
at first i thought they actually went to Madagascar... then i noticed that the run was very familiar...
otangs will wear and oval and flatspot very quickly. i cored mine in a matter of weeks and i am 110 pounds. get some flashies because they are dirt cheap and feel really great. or if your stuck on...
god you cali guys are so lucky. my yard is full of snow and its less than 20 degrees right now.
i agree with you on this however there are more wheels than otang and retro. reflex thane even at 40+ tosses me off my board, probably because i am light (110). its probably controlable if your going...
uhh i think classic thane feels perfect right out of the box. otangs (round lipped ones) felt as good as they were going to get out of the box as well. trust me you will notice a big improvement.
don't give up on them after the first few sessions. let them start to wear down and they feel significantly better.
i prefer that scrubbing. i don't want to feel like i am snowboarding i want to feel like i am longboarding. idk i think my whole grippy wheels thing stems from lime zig zags being my first wheel...
80a inheats are a nice grip/drift ratio for freeriding imo. i have become aware that i like to ride particularly grippy wheels for freeriding but once you break lipped otangs in they are not grippy...
did you make blaine's board yet? i might want to buy a board from that mold if it has concave/specs i like. i just found a sick bowl (4 actually) like 20 minutes away and i can take the train there....
same. i saw that episode of rob dyrdecks fantasy factory and was so agrivated with it. in particular when rob said "my records won't stay, yours are going nowhere" or something like that. people...
i completely forgot how to embed on somb. sorry

toeside standies at that speed should not be done.
the earthwing bearings are pretty sweet. i've broken in 2 sests of wheels and skated like 35 hours on them and i have yet to clean them. still ride fine but i need to clean them soon.
btw lax that...
on beastcoastlongboarding, someone is selling 83mm flys for like 30 bucks.
victorias are really heavy and floaty. you can get a vic ultra for like 250 or so.
jim ever think about making a wood board with lungs or plugs filled with foam? i'm sure this would greatly decrease the weight of the board, make it more floaty and still be fairly cheap. its done in...
i wouldn't buy them either, i was skimboarding for like 5+ hours today and the people didn't check me. i think i can go to barneget tomorrow at like 5ish. thats like an hour before high tide so i'm...
