    Talking I have now completed the Stand-up

    yes, tis true. I, after 4 months of skating, have gotten the stand up. I started skating over the summer and started trying the standy a few weeks later. took a month or so break from the standy to soak up all the carving gnar i gained from getting new bushings.

    never in a million years did i think it would take 4 bloody months. maybe i'm impacient
    anyway, the only thing that changed were my bushings (much softer than those randal crap bushings) and a pair of 81A Gumballs.

    Anyway, i was and still am ####### stoked. i now have 4 different slides under me belt and will start sliding and riding switch when my demonix gets here. i'll make a vid with some sweet stuff in the next few weeks. anyone trying the stand up, be pacient. as i learned, it may take you a loooong time


    Just though I'd share the stoke
