My first longboard, VERY 'surfy'

[Cann0n]

yeah that's a bit pricey. I'd never buy ceramic bearings. I got my dervish for 127.

Those trucks are mounted topside to the bottom of a drop through? Wow! That's one I haven't seen yet!! Sheesh!

you have a lot to see..

[frankie18]

dude that looks positively sexy! nicely done, i bet that feels like a nice mellow wave.

[Irrationalist]

I have them set sooo damn loose that I trace circles around a man hole cover, I'll try and get a vid of it or something, would you guys be interested in seeing it in action?

Haha, I'd love to see how the S10's perform. They are just so much bigger than my S8's and make me think that the 10's would lose some of the feel.

[lizardbowl12]

im so afraid of that board. but yet...i must ride one.

[Chainmaillekid]

I can't hate; that looks like a damn fun ride.

When you first posted, this came to mind:

What is that thing?

Can it go straight?

[dhk33]

Alright, a basic vid is in the works. You even get to meet my dog! Kinda having a hard time finding a way to show you how well it turns, any vid making tips/tricks?

[frankie18]

tripod. /end.

[rb28z2]

I am also going to use it for some Colton / Stokowski dancing, might try and use the INSANE size of the trucks/wheels to my advantage. Haven't ever done dancing before, where should I start?

Dancing on original trucks are gonna be abnormally harder than most other trucks. Props on the custom build though. I almost bought s10's when putting my dervish together. I opted out and got paris (yay bandwagon). I might do this on my next board to get that super "SURFY" feel. +3 for creativity.

[murybcm]

Awesome dude, pics and vid soon. Great idea and I really want to see it.

[SmitZ]

just uploaded the vid to youtube! (sorry for the shitty editing and terrible camera angles, but lets face it, I threw the thing together in about 15 min. enjoy!!! sorry I couldn't show you any carving or dancing or whatnot, that will be in the next vid. Gimme a few days to get a carving / dancing vid up.

Not sure what the wheel spinning thing was proving? Cool board though.

[CarlTheSmokingCrab]

Dood, brah. i wonder how long those axles will hold up to those monster wheels
