I guess I will pick up an 8ply when all the craziness settles down. Andriy gave me a nice deck to ride in the meanwhile.

To all the guys at the rip: Great skating with you.

To all who weren't there, I got a couple really good shots of Steve and Jess, and I'll be uploading them tomorrow afternoon when I get a chance.

Any comparisons by any Brooklyn OGs who have ridden both?

This might help you figure it out

I can't find my camera!

It looks a lot like it does in the shot on longboardskater, but real. And their description needs updating. "6 Ply Maple/Thermoplastic Weave"??

I know I became a real Earthwing fanboy last night when I dreamed of the carbon superglider and supercharger.

**Manofsnazz** · 03-20-2010 10:02 AM

Here's some of the shots I got last night.

Luneth, Archy, good skatin with you guys.

Sick shots and got to agree. Was a sick night overall.

I've been using my Glider a lot more lately for transportation, so I decided to learn to ollie it. So far I've only been able to get the back wheels up about an inch at best, and that happens a lot less often than it just flying out from under me. Do you guys have any tips... foot placement, how low to crouch, etc?

**chandler95** · 03-20-2010 11:08 AM

Whatever happened to that EW mini deck? Do you still have one or two kickin' around in the shop?

This guy describes it pretty well.

Yeah, I've watched that one and a few others. I was just trying to find out if there's anything special you have to do with the Glider.

I know a bit about poping big boards, It's all the same basic motion, all that changes is the timing, and how far you slide your leg to level the superglider out. Just practice to get the timing down,and experiment with some Bruce Lee kicks to get the leveling out.

9 colors of 4ply supergliders are up for sale. 5 ply sold out before I could cut them loose and will be at retailers soon.

**ZuMBLe** · 03-20-2010 04:34 PM

What kind of camera did you use for this?

Damnit Brian! Must sell stuff..must...sell..*drool*

The red one look sooo sexy...with some of those 65mm 78a superballs and indy 215s (only size indys I have currently..) omnomnom..

**crazychink1987** · 03-20-2010 04:35 PM

Supergliders are up!

**Shimotakimas** · 03-20-2010 04:54 PM

The teal superglider is seriously everything I want. Perfect shape, graphics, composition. If I had money and didn't already own a 08 superglider, I would definately get it. It's gonna be devastating watching it get sold out in days or even hours.
