Seconded, sounds like some of the reason why a lot people think longboarding is gay. I've been doing my best to change that perception. Skated tail of the dragon in tennessee 2 weekends back. All the motorcyclists thought we were crazy awesome, got some gnar footage. Vicious griptape video to come soon.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
Heres a little raw footage from a trip to NC I just took. The video starts seven and a half minutes down the run, wouldve started sooner but the follow car couldnt keep up. The zoom on the lens squashes things a bit but we're doing 35-50mph.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
yeah well other people can suck it. A kid i skate with did the maryhill race, i'll have to see what he placed. I didn't know there was good skating in NC. Also if you haven't seen this
Maryhill looks fun, big old party wave if youre using rocket power terms.

Edit from the first trip to the mountains, edit from the most recent is in the works.

nfarino117: Do you just use a paint pen on top of the front of your board? Or do you have to take it apart?
Let Fire Fall:haha today at moes i was rolling up this guys burrito
do you use a router to do those wells? I'm about to make two new boards, a topmount and a dancer.
What kind of trucks are those Ben?
Those wells were routed to a level depth, then i added a sanded portion on the outer part of the well. you can see where i sanded through a few plies. love the way it looks.
trucks are surf-rodz @186mm...they're alrighttt...but i got em fo free so im not complainin

Sucks to suck
You're one of those trolls that doesn't even make sense. So your trolling isn't even funny. You're just a douche.
Exactly, hence why I called him a doucher that no one likes.

i was not too impressed with surf rodz. If i had cash to get precision trucks, i'd get ronins. The kid I know who does maryhill has them and at one point, one of those special GMR boards, and i loved that setup.Originally Posted by benmasters
I think i'm just gonna get some calibers instead of having my paris trucks, people seem to like those so i'll give it a shot.
I agree, if youre gonna go precise, do it right the first time.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
again...fo free..lax you know anyone with buzzed trucks?

A couple people, as far as I understand, free is about what theyre worth.

VA Beach People:
Does anyone know why skateboards are banned on the oceanfront? I'm going to write an essay about the perceived "dangers" of skateboarding and how they are based on the stereotypes an older generation is holding on to. I would like to use the essay as vehicle to argue against the ban on longboards at the oceanfront but I do not know the history of the ordinance. Any information would be useful. ZBR, I feel like you might be helpful with this.

I'm thinking about getting into longboarding, any ideas about affordable but quality boards?
Just waiting for a mate.
Churchill boards are what you want i think, theyre quality and yet inexpensive. Maybe check em out.
Who the frack is churchill? Radar/Jett makes quality boards really cheap, same guy that owns abec 11 owns them. Earthwings are solid and reasonable. Basically, dont listen to chev.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
does anyone know if there are any decent hills in hampton roads? this place is making me miss norcal

I said what I meant. Ive never heard of them and ive heard of just about everyone, Quick tour of the site showed me a bunch of decks of unknown quality that were obvious knockoffs of known boards.
So as I said before, skip that garbage and go for a brand already known for selling a quality and reasonably priced product. If you buy name brand you can also sell your gear without taking a huge hit if you figure out longboarding isnt for you.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
Heres a little B-Side gem from this weekend. I know I say this after every trip but this video is gonna be pro quality.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
Heres the fun edit of our trip, the epic one should be posted on the vicious griptape youtube channel by the weekend. Also just got on as a team rider for the biggest longboarding shop in Florida pretty much, going to Portland/Cathalmet tomorrow. #getonmuhlevel

Heres a video I made of the event Skate the Lake, a 28 mile longboard trip around Lake Tahoe. There were like 120 people that did it. It was real fun. No tricks or anything just cruising and good scenery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2usTTUwn9q8&feature=plcp
Nelson Tempest, Gunmetal Mac 10 trucks, Metro Freeride wheels, zealous bearings
Thanks for sharing
I got one of those Kryptonic Torpedo boards (The Penny knockoffs) for Christmas. Any good setup advice? In terms of trucks and wheels. The stock stuff sucks. I need new bearings and I'll probably keep the wheels but the truck kingpins are bound to snap eventually. Same thing happened on my first longboard with crappy stock trucks.
