I started to pump my HELLCAT!!!!

with stock bushings bear 852s and flipped rear hanger

what a fun!!!!! I'm thinking about wedging the front a little, since front is little higher due to un-flipped hanger.

OH yeah!!!

I got down cross step also!!! what a wonderful day...

my thighs hurt cuz the longboarding...haha

today was even hotter

It's nice now, but during the Summer... oh my God...

I wont longboard until the sun goes down.. (105~115F during the day)

however, bombing on summer night is different story.

Longboarding until the sun goes down.. In Alaska that would involve weeks on end without stopping, which isn't a bad thing!

I went for a quick skate after school, started going straight down a hill thats near me, usually I carve down it. It isn't that steep but I havnt really done anything other than cruising before the last week, nd now im doing some small hills. It's so much fun, I cant wait to get an actual longboard cause at the moment my board is 29" with a 16" wheel base.

Todays morning ride to work was awsome,

Its the beginning of autumn, fall for you US brothers, the sun is getting up a little later and the leafs are changing colour, I poked my head out the window this morning to a blue sky and a warm northly wind, on the news there where pics of the God-wits(birds) starting to leave on there epic journey back to Alaska, I picked my Dseed today, its set up with my custom 190mm trucks and lemon bigzigs,This is the first ride Ive had in 2wks since my op for a hernia.The deck sit real low, I have a nice slope all the way into town, so I set my board down and notice a tail wind, sweet

there was a gap in the traffic so I had the whole road for about 400mtrs ,smooth .I push hard as and just carved all the way , my grin was huge

a car pulled up behind me and just let me do my thing with out try`n to over take, so I gave a wave of thanks and got one back,
I seemed to get more speed out of the Dseed today I had the front truck real loose with standard yellow randall bushings and the back loosish with black Jims, It was so responsive, Im sticking to that ,
I just loved that ride, it put my head right for the day.

thats tight!!! bombing at 2 a.m with the sunlight..

I would love to board than!!

anyway I think, some wheels will melt under the Riverside heat...

oh today, was a great day.

I was practicing cross step on my hellcat and tried on my vanguard. It works!!!!!

I guess, cross step isn't that hard after all..

I'm going to practice goofy cross step with goofy pumping which will thake hella long time!!!

Skate safe and skate HARD!!!!!!
