I agree that is a freakn nice board. How does it ride?

I had a sick skate the other day.
I was coming back from work and had a mad tail wind. Was going about the same speed as the cars, but since i had a tail wind i wasnt slowing down.
I had to seriously foot brake coming up to intersections, other than usually having to just let my speed run out.

What has everyone else been doing?

Oh yes, i got a job in a music store!

What has everyone else been doing?

Uni work, real work, and not skating enough!

Hey Nocturnal My Evo is in the post from San Fransisco I got $50US cheaper deal from purpleskunk than from landyachtz howz that go figer, anyhow Ive got some 77mm Strikers waiting to go on, have you used them before and if so how did you find them? Mark at milehigh says a DH base plate on the front is the way to go. your thoughts, I just cant wait for the thing to arrive,

Well ive done 0% on my bamboo board. Still sussing out timber.
And yours?

[nocturnal.nz]

i haven't touched my tools for a month or so... been way too busy with study. pretty gutted.

kooky - nice discount you got there - yeah it confuses me why landyachtz is so much more expensive than elsewhere! i haven't tried the dh baseplate on my evo, but now you suggest it i might whip it off my brother's board tonight and do a few runs on it. as for the strikers, that's what my brother is rolling, so i'll borrow them too and give you a run down on how it goes as soon as i can!

The best place I've found (if they stock the brands) is boardsports.com. The price is awesome if you use the discount code from concrete wave (10-20% off normal) and the shipping is as cheap as I've found anywhere.

I'd rather buy of Mile High Mark, and have when I've had friends going to colorado, but he wont ship to NZ

hey joe whats the discount code from concrete wave?

[Joe]

They change the code in every issue. the current one has expired (31 July). The new concrete wave is nearly released I think.

How did you go with the set up, was your bro cool with you taken this wheels.
Im going to get some more bamboo, I have some great templetes to try out, well we,ll see if they are any good when theyre finished,

yes, I'm subscribed. no, you can't get it in Wellington (that I know of). It cost me about NZ$80 for a 2 year subscription, although it would be a bit less now given our currency. I usually get it in the mail about 3-5 days after North America. This is cheaper per issue than most other foreign skate mags (even cheaper than Manual) and quicker to get here.

I found it in borders on queen st up here.... they always have it...
so i reckon go check borders out in wellys... its in town somewhere...
.. although 80bucks for 2 years sounds way better than $16 an issue!!!

$60US + $0.75 Service charge - International Residents

That's about NZ$85 at current exchange rates. $8.50 an issue is way better than $16
