sorry i know you werent being offensive,,its just the way my reply sounded,,,i tell you spain is the worst,,the shops have hardly anything in them and when they do get stuff they charge roughly double what youd pay in the states,,im not joking.
its like because they never have stuff in they have the right to charge you the earth when they do get stuff because its like hard to find or rare or something

That's not fun, man. I live in an area where I have to order anything and everything. Granted I can't get stuff from online shops pretty cheap and they usually have all the latest and greatest, so you most definitely have it worse. haha

SHIMANO LX ST-M580 SHIFT BRAKE LEVERS @ cambria bike for $49.

My XT shift set has lasted 10 years, so this LX is a downgrade, but for $49 verses $200 I just had to grab them.

I'm really surprised to see how many people on this site are big into biking too... longboarding drains me of cash quickly enough, the last thing I need is another expensive hobby!

cash? whats that?

know what you mean about having another hobby. bought a new bike this year before getting into skating and only rode the bike about 10 times max. once in a while i spin the bike tires to keep the lube moving

I've been car-less for a year now. Interestingly enough Longboarding found me last spring. Taoism? Then like serious addiction my mind has 1 track now... I find myself making peculiar purchases like this fully armored leather jacket I'm testing out at the Switchbacks after lunch today...$129 @ leatherup dot com

update:
That leather jacket weights 7 pounds, my comishin weights 11 pounds, that's 18 heavy pounds walking up those switchbacks. But I did have extra confidence, skated more aggressively, even with weight hindrance from the jacket. All in All, I give the jacket a big thumbs up

Heres the back pad compared to no back pad on mine.

Its worthless to get a soft pad for your back.

Get a legit spine protector and protect your back!

the new ipod nano. i was gonna buy the 4th gen, but i needed a credit card, so i needed my dad to "buy" it. my dad held it off for so long that i missed out on getting a 120 dollar ipod, so when i had to buy the 190 dollar one, my dad said that he'd sport me 50, so awesome
