I'm going to a BBQ for a few hours so I might not be able to make it Saturday until like 4-6 so I will let Josh and Forrest take the lead on good spots to hit up! What kinda sesh were you guys looking to have? I could teach everyone how to do slides on Sunday if you guys want.

Forest, did you still have that popsicle deck? I have an extra set of earthwing slide-a wheels and tracker trucks to set it up with.

What's going on guys. Name's Shane, been on island for a little over a year. Just started longboarding a couple months ago, and I really dig it.

I agree with RichardCranium on the blue choice.

**RichardCranium** · 06-01-2009 09:45 AM

slurred speech = longboard time! time for a late night sesh on the seawall...

**RichardCranium** · 06-01-2009 11:48 AM

Thanks for all the great photo comments guys! I don't think they are all that great, but thanks anyway. I would really like to do some more shoots at the next sesh...and skate more hopefully without destroying my shoulder...

Whats going on Fellas, i finally Figured out this Silverfish thing Ha, i see all you guys stay in touch with it pretty frequently, good way to keep eachother update although you already know this and im just a noob. anyways, yea, good sess this weekend. for my first time out in a while and with some new faces i really did have a good time.

If you have any ideas as far as Photo Editing let me know so i can stay busy while i sit here With healing wisdom teeth holes for the next couple days. i still gotta do Forest's slide as well as Joshes slides like the one i did for Nate, Colt and Myself.

and the shirts are Sic.

i also have a vangaurd complete with Retro freeride wheels (lime) but i rarely ride em cause i dont wanna waste a sess. breaking em in. you guys have any oppinions on em? think itll be worth it if i bring it out?

**BeebOH** · 06-01-2009 03:13 PM

The shirts look great! and Manny you should bring the Vanguard when we're doing the light stuff (like the Seawall) until the wheels get broken in. I've heard great things about those freerides to you're missin out!

Nate-- I still have that popsicle deck, it has a set of trucks (Chargers I think), but I'd like to try out those wheels if you don't mind

**Slops57** · 06-02-2009 01:39 AM

Definatly blue shirts.

We been goin out on the week nights after work. Myself and Paul and another guy we work with all work swing shift so we start skatin around midnight. if anyone else wants to come just let me know i know its like crazy hours but its nice and cool and we get drunk on the seawall and screw around. Sometimes we hit up Tropical Moons.

**jaxxstatic** · 06-02-2009 02:36 AM

All my wheels and one of the boards just got here. Hopefully, the rest comes this week. If so, I'll bring as much of the quiver as possible for people to try out different setups and whatnot, and just in case some people show up who don't have boards but want to ride.
I'm gonna ride a bit down Sunabe to Mihama if anyone wants to come. I'm riding from my house here by Sunabe.

**Slops57** · 06-02-2009 03:39 AM

wish i could come but im workin the evening shift today.fml. That makes me a SAAAD PANDA.

**098Mindstate** · 06-02-2009 04:20 AM

Josh, any ideas for the upcoming sesh? I kinda wanted to try sliding that big hill we bombed on kadena...it would make for some sick photos too.

Are you talking about the one behind the schools near where I live or the one outside the Habu Trail?

I think he means the one behind the schools. It goes down pretty steep at the top, then has a short less-steep part, then steep again. It's by the residences on the other side of the elementary school.
That's sounds like a fun sesh. We could get some sliding in over there, too.
Also, I've heard of some sick spots on Lester. Someone mentioned a road around the edge of Lester that's car-free like the Habu trail. Maybe someone could scout it this week.

**jmasta** · 06-02-2009 04:38 AM

how were those silly bosco slid'r gloves? are they as terrible as I expected?

where's our review mxman?!

Oh yeah, I think I know which ones you're talking about. That would be a fun ride.

@ jmasta: Those gloves were TERRIBLE.

**jaxxstatic** · 06-02-2009 05:05 AM

I didn't even try them out yet, but here's what I got from looking at the used ones from the previous sesh, trying them on, and from talking to the guys who used them.....

They're made of neoprene (fall apart); the palm "puck" placement is waaay too high; the finger caps are not durable and thinner than expected; the finger caps tear off; the roller balls in the palm heat up waay quick; and most people said the the gloves in general tended to make your hand "get away from you" or slide out.

Overall....I'd give them an A++...
uh, just kidding

**RichardCranium** · 06-02-2009 07:26 AM

Late night sesh for anyone who might be down! Should be starting at around 11:30 and we will be cruising the seawall at Sunabe. There are 3 or 4 of us going.
