The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

[Mmm... Pasta]

NEW BOARD!

MS Carbon Hybrid. SOOOOO stoked! White pads going on soon.
Old board:

Vic Poly (too big, whatever size it was.) This board was a tank though. 2 years of hard riding and it still wants to go - I just wanted something with some turn in it.
The bad: I just tore a tendon in my ankle. It's gonna be weeks before I get to ride it... Or walk.

[SDSkim]

how much did that art run?

[gulfcoastskimmer]

Damn completely custom art huh? I like it. When I get mine I'm getting some custom art. What color is the bottom? I am going to get red top/white bottom.

[Mmm... Pasta]

It just took 'em on hour. I sent them an outline of what I wanted, and I guess they somehow translated pretty smoothly on there. $40.

[ejb]

whoah, sweet custom let me kno how it rides

[alexM.]

very nice pasta, sorry about the ankle. i can't wait to see it in person!

[Mmm... Pasta]

Oh, and the bottom is red. I was thinking about the red top/ white bottom too, but I decided to leave it for you GCS. It'll look sick.

[gulfcoastskimmer]

Yeah thanks. I think it will look really sick. I was just wondering because I wanted to see pics of it if it was white. I'm going to have the same color as you with and white bottom, white art, white logo, and white pads. It won't be until next year that I'll need a new board but I've already got my next one all picked out. It takes a lot of restraint to not buy it now though.

[SteveTaylor]

[JoshM.]

[vicskim76]

[727bryon]

That's so nice. I'm not one for art usually, but that's very nice. It'll be like your archbar drank a Redbull.

The ugly was the old Vic board.
The bad was the hurt ankle.

[ejb]

frack i cant read. not enough sleep. my typing is failing too. i have to edit every post.

[gulfcoastskimmer]

Yeah then you should probably look into that stuff called sleep...

[ejb]

sleep's overrated, its summer

[LuckyBuMmRa]

I just skeeted myself that board is so hot.

[beachbum]

Yeah then you should probably look into that stuff called sleep...

i sleep like 2 or 3 hours before work. I usually eat around 11 and then pass out. if i get too much sleep i dont wake up or wake up tired as frack. unloading trucks for 4.5 hours tired isnt cool.

[gulfcoastskimmer]

Yeah true that. I love my job! Coach little kids in soccer, so easy.

[ejb]

i work at a grocery store and its pretty fun chillin with all the kids that work there , 9 bucks an hour at age 16 its pretty damn good

[ztanner25]

i work at a movie theater...just 6.50 but the free movie's add up. i try to see one every week.

[ejb]

6.50, thats painful im so sorry

[LiveToSkim]

yeah 6.50..damn
your better off selling yourself

[shin-n]

wow is that legal?

[Mmm... Pasta]

Well, the ankle is bad and ugly. But I thought a title "The new sickness, the still okay but not so much doing the job anymore, and the bad and ugly" didn't really work so well as a title.
The ankle: I was going for a wrap and it pitched a little faster than I was expecting. I was out in the air dropping it a second later, and I looked at the sand and thought "I can still pull this." but when I landed by back foot rolled in and I fell over backwards on top of it and the wave came down on top of me... Yeah, got a quick ride to the hospital once my parents saw the swelling.

[Mmm... Pasta]

Question: The front pad doesn't fit in between the words and the art. Should I trim it, or cover up some of the art?

[JoshM.]

i'd cover up some of the art, not the words. and i wouldnt trim it either pasta.

[Mmm... Pasta]

Just put pads on it:

Stood on it, and without even thinking about it tried a little carpet shove it.
Ankle went CRACK... No bueno.

[sloskimmer]

at least your board didn't go CRACK
