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!

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

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