Todays ride was epic, built a sail and used the wind to push me down the street... haha...

Cops were kind of confused. But yeah mid 70's wind. UGH

Had a great little mini-micro-session for the last 20min of my lunch break at work, I went to a low-traffic sloping street that crosses another street that slopes down in both directions and just practiced drifting turns over and over again. Later on I got a call from my roommate that my cat was sick and needed to be brought to the hospital, so I ditched work and raced home as fast as I could - even though I was a little stressed out, I got in some wicked carves on this steep hill right near my house and felt a lot better by the time I got home. The little guy's got an infection of some sort, but the vets said he should be fine with some antibiotics and rest.

I made the mistake of trying some more aggressive slides on wet pavement a few days ago (fun as hell, but as soon as I got home I knew I hadn't waited long enough after the rain stopped to go out, water was everywhere) and my bearings definitely took a hit, so I'll probably swap them out with fresh ones soon. Also time to put those spacers back in, since I'm actually putting more stress on my wheels and bearings now, and not just bombing hills.

suckish, almost broke my face on some gnarly black ice doing like 15, while multitasking doing a backflip over a squirel! good thing the dog poop broke my fall....

But do you get chased off or anything for skating there?

Yeah man, it was. It had chill carving followed by pulling some TIGHT pendy's into corners. I saw one golfer there, and I actually just skipped that hole. It looked flat anyway. But besides that, I didn't see anybody, and nobody talked to me after.

it was good sun came out for a few hours so me my friend longboarded this path that went across town

**cptcaveman** · 03-31-2009 03:17 PM

still waiting for the mailman no ride today

waiting for boards to ship is the worst

First ride on my new Widerglider. I just cruised the neighborhood with a friend, but ate it big when i randomly crouched while bombing a hill and got speed wobbles. Got some nasty cuts all up my left side, hip to the elbow. Yeah i pretty much suck at longboarding, but it was only my first ride, so all in all it was sweet

. Can't wait to get out there tomorrow.

**igotscars** · 04-01-2009 05:24 PM

sweet! I finally got a 360 slide and had some comical spills. Very good day indeed

**ktrenta** · 04-01-2009 06:41 PM

I skitched half way around campus on the back of an unknowing minivan. The mom got a surprise when i shot around her and away on the sidewalk, when she stopped. it was awesome!

**Hot Wheels** · 04-01-2009 07:33 PM

Beautiful day here in St. Louis Mo, hit the slopes for
some serious carving. Great spring day, love the big zigs
grippin the ground on hard carves.

I can't wait til I can post about a daily ride.. ride now I'm just counting down the time.. It snowed all morning, but it warmed up in the afternoon, snow seems to overall be melting now. Few weeks and I should get to see some pavement

**respect roots** · 04-02-2009 02:30 AM

cruised around the village here in the philippines......im going out again after i finish my cup of coffee....nice way to get to some exercise

**modestme** · 04-02-2009 03:49 AM

what an amazing ride. i went out around 10 at night to meet up with the longboard club on campus. we played some hide and seek with our boards and pretty much just messed around. then afterwards me and 2 other guys went up the city hall garage and bombed it a couple of times and after sat at the top of the garage chatting about how awsome longboarding is

then we bombed it one last time, said our goodbyes and that was my amazing night

On my way home from school, pulled into a residential neighborhood and went down a small hill on my new homemade board. Only got up to 15mph but it was still fun. Got some dirty looks from people as well *sigh*
