How was your daily longboarding ride/s?

**WeekendxCarver** · 03-09-2008 09:21 PM

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!!!!!!

**inluvwithsara** · 03-13-2008 09:45 PM

Did my daily 2 mile midnightish cruise though my neighborhood with the old Hypercarve...It was a pleasant night for a cruise...and doing it every night I can should help me get back into a shape other than round...I want to get a Kahuna Creations Big stick to add to my nightly journeys...

I skated to work today. It was rubbish. Heavy rain, cold and windy. Plus i seem to be coming down with some sort of lurgy, dam those office nerds and their little incubation room.

Me too, first time ever. Road my new Vanguard, liked it alot. Really look forward to putting gumballs on it and taking it out to carve a bit. But still a great riding day. 8)

went for a mean skate today with a couple friends, im getting so amped as I havnt been that in to it for long, its totally awesome. Slowly getting to do bigger hills and going faster down them, also giving pumping a go, but im hopelss for now, but not for long. I love this ####!

**xI Pressure Ix** · 03-15-2008 03:42 PM

Today was a rush..
It started of when my friend called me and said lets go skate
So I took a shower. and went over to my friends house.
And well,where i live the is not a lot of hills so i was inexperienced and so we were long boarding around (5 of us) and we were by a highway over-pass.
So we decided to bomb it.
It was a rush!!
I never went that fast on a board ever.
I was never so scared on a board in my life!
But It was fun and I would do it again anytime.

**BuckWyld** · 03-15-2008 03:52 PM

I cruised, it was relaxing and felt great until I paid the price for having my wheels stick out past the sides of my board.

pros -
it was nice to get out
helped me relax

cons
need to buy a new pair of pants
knees and elbows are scraped up

**TexasBomber** · 03-15-2008 03:58 PM

Great ride today, it's 90 degrees here in South Texas. Not a cloud in the sky. My neighborhood has got hills galore and newly paved streets. So f'kn stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Ghoulardo** · 03-15-2008 06:28 PM

Couldn't go out today (really wet out) but yesterday was pretty good. Got to put my new board through it's paces. On the down side though when i was running through someone's soggy yard to get home both shoes got stuck wound up running 10 feet past them before I realized it.
