When you say slalom..Is it like water skiing, where both feet are on one board?

Mile_High_Mark · 10-13-2008, 09:15 PM

What's better reliability-wise, RAID5 or RAID6?

bamboo, where can i get it cheap and relatively thin?

TM_Cruzer · 10-13-2008, 09:34 PM

42/42 randal's or something else on a rumrunner?

mc99david · 10-13-2008, 09:48 PM

betty: i dont know, you will have to ask someone who does that that sort of thing.

mhm: i dont know what you are talking about, so you arent a noob.

snow: is your name david???

phill: you cant, there is no such thing as cheap thin veneer.

tmcruzer: go with the 42/42s, just get some jimz bushings for those things and you will be the happiest person on earth... oh and get a huge flat washer for under the bottom bushing

Mark I would dump the whole RAID array as it's just a inventive way to get you to buy more hard drives....If you cant get rid of it go with a system which has 6 built withing 1....

why don't board builders ever use koa? The grain on it is absolutely beautiful. it's kind of expensive i'm assuming??

lol was going to post a thread asking these but.

1. what is better for pushing using just the front of your foot or your whole foot random but always wondered.

1 front/ball of foot, your heel tends to just absorb energy.

2 truck clearance, less traction, less wheel life...

David, you're like Cha Cha.

I have a question, what's Dopamine?

a_speck_of_dust · 10-13-2008, 11:16 PM

if two longboarders went down a hill at about 47 mph with a slight uphill breeze, and one of them was named dave - who would win?

Mr. Sociable · 10-13-2008, 11:18 PM

David, when will my board be here?

I kid...I kid.

Have you ever considered producing/selling luges in a similar way as your skateboards?
