The Earthwing Skateboard Army

[crazychink1987]

near zhongxiao fushing station.

yeah, I would've gotten killed by those mopeds haha.

I didn't bring my skateboards there because the roads were kind of crappy (from previous experiences), and the traffic.


^Now this, is something I want! approximate price?

Ahh ok i know where that is But yeah, i think next summer I'll be bringing a setup with me.

i just got my widerglider complete in the mail today. i've had my eye on this board since brian was first mentioned in the short blurp in concrete wave a long while back. to be honest with you guys, i assumed this board was to be all hype. i was just expecting something that would be average, and not be blown away, due to the hype beast.


thankfully, i was wrong. in my 8 years i've been boarding i've owned close to 100 setups, just trying to dial down exactly what i would want with what components. the widerglider is hands down one of the most comfortable boards i've been on. the flex is perfect, wheel wells are right on spot for how i ride, and the indy 215's are a perfect match to the 66 gravity burners. this is going to be one of my main rides for a long time to come.


on another note, has anyone shortened the nose a bit on their thruster to make it less intimidating to use?

you are welcome ^_^

...short black bitch...

I love short black bitches.

I'll be getting a miniglider. Fo sho. Looks perfect.
Are 169s or 149s more suitable for the width? I can't quite tell.

And is that a little kick-nose I see? Can't wait to get a glimpse of the final product.

Thanks so much for the pic Brian. Sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day.

I'm just gonna share a little stoke here.

Today I was tearing it up on my older brother's Lil' Buddy with Babyballs (got down those rollin' ollies... I'm so pro) for a little bit, which got me real excited about the Miniglider (which I am most definitely picking up). Then I grabbed my Boomerang and screamed down the streets to pick up my younger brother from his friend's house, and danced all the way back home while he followed half a block behind on his S9 Ganesh.

I <3 Earthwing.

I'd like to know the anticipated size and wheelbase(s) of the mini glider. thanks...

Got my Boomerang deck 2 days ago,set it up with Paris 180,purple Sabre all around and yellow BigZigs,pure snappy fun!

[8ftbed]

Please do sir its an amazing board and your only robbing yourself by not having one. Its the perfect amount of snappy fancy flex. Especially for bigger cats like myself all and all its my favorite.

from what i can tell (basing guesses off of how the ratios match for the drill holes)
Length = 31.875"
Width = 9"
WB = 19.5" and 20.625"
Width of Tail = 6"


so i would go 169s with the miniglider. but that's just me and is all pure speculation at this point in time.

PS Brian, am i close on the measurements?

I almost recall him saying it was going to be 33"

[Pangaea]

33" by 9" to be exact, per the man.

[Gearfire]

The front doesn't look like it's wedged for the proto.

I don't think it was wedged on the proto... but if it's gonna be wedged now I'm totally okay with that.

well i did pretty good for just guestimating.

what's the effective standing platform at?

If you mean the tip of the flares of the cutouts, it looks to be maybe 0.5-1" shorter than the smallest WB.

what the price point for the SuperModel so i know how much to save, around $100?

It's a drop-through... I doubt it.

[Alpha06]

Last I heard it was around 100 for the supermodel.

[luftywaffles]

drop throughs are more expensive lol?

I didn't know that, maybe...

but around $100?!?!?!?!

someone confirm this myth.
