    Talking my 18inch cruiser!

    So i was bored.... so i went to wallmart and picked up an 18inch deck (with trucks and everything) for 8 bucks. I got home, tore off the old trucks and slapped on some gullwings, gummies, and some old red bearings i had laying around.









    i know it doesnt look lined up with yard stick, but it measures 18 inches dont worry.



    it rides ok, i put some 1/2inch risers on it so no wheel bite. Its not a good board, but you can fit it anywhere and it turns heads! It has a kick tail, and a big section for nose turns. So this is what i do when im bored

    NOOOOoooooo! Keep the graphic! It is totally sick. Skate king!! all the way...Dig the flames in the background with the city going to hell and the nice happy grin on the skaters face as if nothing in the world is wrong at the moment because he is skating a wicked ledge. Noice! lol
    The Edge...there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
    I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they've always worked for me.

    I'd stretch the wheelbase to the max, but a fierce little board nonetheless. Don't forget how short it is and end up dragging your foot on the ground.

    I want one ... but I'm not sure I could fit both feet on an 18" board. I'd have to skate parallel stance like Wes Tucker!
