Got my first board!

**Dewey.** · 06-09-2009 12:36 PM

Went and picked up my first board today! I got a Sector 9 Sunset. Came with chargers, 74mm 78a Nineballs and I don't know what type of bearings lol... Got home and cruised for about 2 hours and in that process I already ate some gravel

Looks like I need to work on my foot braking haha. But yeah I love the thing to death and it will get some miles put on it!

Thanks!

I would be skating but I was about to starve so I came home to eat. Hot Pockets and Birthday cake FTW!

Sweet 18th Birthday Present! Keep that helmet

or that will be you!

Man I gotta get used to this thing. I push Mongo so sometimes when I push my foot hits the back wheel and I eat it. I'm sure I'll get used to it over time. I also think I'm gonna make some sliding gloves because my hands are all torn up

Welcome and congrats. I am new to longboarding as well. I can't get enough of it. I actually daydream of it now. Happy Birthday too.

It's funny because whenever I'm driving I look down every street I pass to see if it has some sort of slope to it

Haha, you'll get used to it! Before you know it, you'll have a little notebook full of street names in your pocket at all time! Congrats on the board!

Haha, I was doing that the other day and I haven't even got a board yet...

Yeah I found a SICK hill today. I defiantly don't have the balls to go down it yet, but maybe someday

That and when I was at the skate shop this guy was telling about an 11 story parking garage that is ALWAYS empty on the weekends... I'll have to check that out

Parking garages = longboarding heaven!
