Longboarding?

brplatz - 19-12-2010 at 02:22 PM

I just got myself a new longboard for Christmas, here it is.

I got it blank, then proceeded to stain and finish it myself. I think it looks pretty damn good if i do say so.

Anybody else into longboarding? I just started

a guy i used to work with sold longboards and used them all the time --i got him into kiting,unfortunately, he was murdered on halloween a couple months ago--he was one of those people that would try anything--first time he used my blade 10.5, he was doing 10 ft jumps after 10 minutes--never got hurt once......i showed him what to do to minimize the risks, as a friend should do......

Thats a good link. that dude Kyle rips it up for sure. That 9 to 5 board has been sooo popular. I am sure that video is helping get the stoke out on that board :shocked2:

Your board looks good I like the way you put on the grip take to still see the natural wood underneath. I like the looks of natural looking long boards vs. all the painted boards. I have some Landyachtz groms that I have hanging on the wall because I like the look of them so much :) What kind of board do you have? I have not seen a board that has the addition on top like yours for the drop through trucks.

That Vid is sweet! I am just starting so I am not all that good, but damn that guy was awesome.

Thanks Dino! My board is a Kracked Skulls Scimitar 42" http://www.krackedskulls.com/?pg=kshome

Came Unfinished and I put her through the works.

I have a Loaded Dervish with Lime Big Zig Retros and Paris 195 Trucks. It's a nice setup and I ride whenever I can. Parking garages are one of my favorite places as the elevator is your "Lift". That's a nice looking board you have...

I am not sure if Airin is watching the forum over the winter ?
She was big into longboarding before I met her. I think she was a sponsored rider?

very nice!!!! When I first saw a guy in town riding a longboard I thought that it looked dumb. Rode my buddies loaded pintail last summer now I'm lookin' to invest in a loaded dervish for next summer. I took my straps and handle off my pro 90 as a substitute last summer but really was disappointed, something about not having to skate continuously to stay moving.

-mj- That video was sweet, just how damn smooth he is. I can only hope to be half that good.

I bought this one mainley for campus transport at college and such, and it works really well.

Those Loaded Dervish boards are sweet, but out of my price range at the time.
