I've been wanting a Dervish so I whip around pressure tricks easier. Not a priority of mine but definitely a fun board.

Hmm, i gotta try that sometime! i havent had bubble tea in like 2 weeks. but today, my friend took us to bubble tea for lunch, it was such a coincidence, but i like the strawberry coconut. haha.

First sunny day in awhile, went to school with my slide gloves for some fun. Practice drifting at low speed with my LY pocketknife. "Drift", not exactly a drift, out a corner to a slight hill. Sees car at the bottom intersection. Say oh ####, decide to turn into town house alley. Discover alley have a HUGE #*$# bum, decide to continue straight. See another car, freak out. Attempt to turn into alley. Lost control... crashed... Lesson? ADD kills is a good thing i just came out with a few scratches lol.

Skated around my GF's neighborhood today. Tried some DH and got massive wobbles on my 37". Not surprising since I had to throw some extra home-made 1/4" risers on it to eliminate wheel bite, but still irritating.

So I figured, "Well, if I can't speed down hills, then I'm going to have to learn to take them slow." I can't carve very well to reduce speed with the bushings that came on my Gullwings, so I made it my goal for the day to learn to do standing powerslides. Didn't have too much luck there, (my 75mm tangs don't slide very easilly, especially with an inch of riser) but I accidentally learned to pump instead. Pretty stoked. Being able to self-propel is really cool.

Overall, a very fun day. Got laughed at by some kids when I tried to slide over some sand and pushed the back of my board straight out from under myself though. Also, strawberry bubble tea is the only way to go. Delicious.

I've definitely got to try that. Last flavor I tried was Mango Lichi, which was pretty decent. Watermelon is groooooss.

Today was a really kickass skate day! Swept a hill after some light snow melted, and I finally learned to stand-up slide. They're pretty weak but just needs polishing for technique. SO STOKED. and I pulled some standup 180s, and some switch toeside powerslides (me thinks). All in one session. Was raaaad. FSM is teaching me so much, but I find that it's too wide a board for me since I have small feet.

Today, my dad flipped on me for longboarding in the streets! Isn't that the point? I feel like the sidewalks, especially in Queens, Ny, are way more dangerous than the streets because of all the cracks and what not.

went on my ks trying to fine tune cross stepping while the sun was setting. beautiful evening and a nice ride.

**brooksie86** · 03-20-2010 11:17 PM

The weather was pretty nice today and I was itching to take my new board for a roll (Globe Continental 44in w/ Randall 180s and Otang InHeats), ended up following some bike paths around the inner-city area and ended up doing a 9km/5.5mile round trip. I got to dodge pedestrians on footpaths, cars and bikes on the sidestreets and carve up some of the newly paved paths. All in all it was a pretty good day...

today was a righteous day, i woke up had some waffles, and went out skating.

I decided to go do some parking garages,
it turns out one of the garages i went to was for court parking only....

so i got busted by the cops, they kicked me out and sent me on my way.

so i decided to go get some food, i decided to go to carls jr. But i was lazy so i went through the drive thru, haha the peeps behind me got all pissed off cause i was still on my board. so i got up to the window and got my grilled cheese burger. (amazing stuff)

After i finished my food i went to skate up the mall, so i was tearing it up in the parking lot for a couple hours, when the security guard came out and told me im not allowed to skate there.

so i yelled at him that if he could catch me then i would leave, i realized that was a mistake cause he took off after me.

i got scared and left, haha, then i came home and here i am now.

Amazing

Be more respectful. You're going to ruin it for the rest of us.

I went skating with a few friends on a fairly big hill. There were 4 of us and only one of my other friends was realy that good. It was realy good fun until one of my friends who doesnt longboard much fell at the bottom of the hill and now he has a compound fracture in his right wrist D:

**VivaLaDan** · 03-21-2010 01:04 PM

I went out at 4.30 in the morning piss drunk and tried to do a standy. Left my pride in between my hip and the 10 feet of asphalt I slid on.

**ScottyJ** · 03-21-2010 06:38 PM

Pushed for 15 miles today. My body feels like it's in shock. I saw tons of hot chicks everywhere. Got to ride with my parents, and daughter too. It was a great day.

**NateTheGreat** · 03-21-2010 06:47 PM

Rode 20 miles today all over Deerfield Beach and down the coast. I am absolutely EXHAUSTED, but it was well worth it.

**LandySwitch** · 03-21-2010 06:53 PM

Today I hit up the UBC Campus and found some sweeeeeet hills. I was going around 30 mph then tried to do a speed check but instead landed on my knees and hands and slid for a couple feet.

**Xgecko** · 03-21-2010 07:26 PM
