awesome Larry!

**LongBoardLarry** · 08-15-2005 01:17 AM

Thanks this was cool.
I am going to help with PR for the guys.
There next stop is Ontario Oregon then Boise Idaho. If there are any SFers in these areas let me know and I will keep you posted on were they will be. You can also follow along with their trip at www.whoisadamcolton.com

Hey Larry, are they riding your boards cross-country? If so, what wheels are they on?

**CanyonCarver** · 08-15-2005 10:34 AM

Larry, you treated these boys right. Good thing you are getting a little publicity out of it.
I like those drop deck longboards. They must be a real breeze to push. Perfect for what these guys are using them for.

Shayne's Fits of Journalism stories about you are awesome! Good for you man!

Way to go Larry.

**Tony** · 08-15-2005 12:38 PM

nice work larry.

I noticed this qoute in the article
"You do a lot of foot dragging," explained Colton, 22, who added that he has reached speeds upward of 20 mph while rolling down mountain passes."

20mph hour threw mountain passes I though they would be going ALOT faster threw mountain passes.

**LongBoardLarry** · 08-15-2005 01:44 PM

First yes they are riding my drop pin and they are riding on abec 11 strykers. Before they were only pushing about 50 miles a day but the first day on my boards they did 63 miles and yesterday thru eastern Oregon they did 62.
This is really cool and I am mapping out a course for them thru the west. They will hit Boise in about 4 days then down thru Utah and I am working on getting them on the Fox news in Denver.

As far as their speed down the pass it is chip seal on the road and it slows you down a lot. It is like riding on a packed down gravel road. I didn't ask them what speeds they were getting but I bet it was more like 30 to 40 because it is a 6 miles of down hill out of the pass. I will be talking to them tonight and I will ask Adam what kinds of speeds they were getting. Not all that was in the article was what they said.

I will keep every one posted on there progress. For everyone in Denver I will let you know when they will be there and when it will be on the news.

**Captain Hampton** · 08-15-2005 02:04 PM

Larry, are they going to be passing through SLC or near SLC on their way eastward?

**Shy** · 08-15-2005 04:52 PM

Keep it sleazy, boarders.

dude you've got a sweet van there :P

Larry is a good boy.

**AllDownhill** · 08-15-2005 05:27 PM

thats awsome

**LongBoardLarry** · 08-15-2005 05:30 PM

Hey shayne you need to post some pics of the band-aid board.
Hope Burns treats ya well.

Captian hampton there is a good chance they will be taking a route thru or by SLC. We are trying to figure out the best route to Denver. If you can get the word out that they will be coming thru contact the paper and tv stations that would be cool. I will also be doing the same.

Those pics don't do the Band-Aid bord justice. The airbrush job that larry did for the top pad looks very realistic when you can see the sharp line surrounded by shadows. You also can't see the thousands of little micro-dots covering both side of the board.

I'll try to get some better pics of it up, and I may be throwing up a new video in the next few days.

THEN, you'll see the band-aid board in all its glory.

**LongBoardLarry** · 08-15-2005 07:18 PM

Great rant shayne. Can't wait to see the next video.
Haven't heard from the burns paper yet, I guess there is more interesting things going on.
I will be working on a route thru Idaho tonight.

If any body on the board is from Boise chime in. I need numbers for skate shops and tv stations.

Give Chris a big hug from me.
