**nicthekid220** · 09-04-2009 06:17 PM

ABEC 11
S9
Randal
^the complete companies

and some precision truck company. but most are people that have access to a CNC machine....

id just bribe Chris to make Fyre and Liquid trucks a full fledged company, then buy both.

OH, id buy karrot and make him my bitch, sorry karrot, but you make some incredible sh!t.

You kidding? With that money you could easily just travel the world skating the best spots to ever be skated. A life of free skating isn't too much to be scoffed at.

**JY Jelly** · 09-04-2009 07:02 PM

Well yeah, but at some point you need to do other things, if i could i would skate all the time.

But remember to fit the board with mountain board wheels, mmm because I'm sure they don't have many roads over their. lol jks. Im sure they would be quiet practical as don't African people suffer from walking massive distances for their resources like water, a transportation devise that has generally low maintainence would be very Beneficial.

250 mil, hmmmmmm

Come to think of it, I would buy everybody's houses in my town, kick them out and block all outer society off!

That way I could have all the crazy/gnarly hills and roads around here to myself, friends and the long boarding community.Then their would be no more cars, as you cant ride one hill without idiot drivers surrounding you, getting in your way and hogging up the damn asphalt! Most of the people around here are retired and old and often cant drive for peanuts, so it sucks having to look over your shoulder every 5 seconds.

At my age, I've done a lot of stuff so I would skip a lot of things that some people with money do.
I would kiteboard every exotic location on the planet.
I would travel from destination to destination on a large catamaran sailboat.
I would give my kids the proper financial set up to allow them to do whatever they wanted for the rest of their lives.
I would take my wife to any place she ever wanted to visit.
I would buy property on one of those exotic locations so I would have a base to kite from that is completely awesome.
Awesome audio and video systems in and around the casa.
I would bring my best riding buddies along for the adventure.
I would hurry up and do all this stuff cause I'm getting old!!!!

Make a skateboard entirely out of money. Deck out of laminated $100 bills, trucks out of melted coins, same for bearings and spacers and stuff, and wheels out of melted gift cards / credit cards (would have to be a slide board I suppose). Not sure what I'd do for bushings... ah screw it, I'd pay someone to figure that out.

1. Build the world's finest skateboard racing hill or hills (One per continent preferably).

2. Fully establish a world sanctioning body with all equipment, jobs and necessary infrastructure (eg. IGSA).

3. Give the remaining money to all major longboard companies and even start-up ones to do the best they can at establishing teams and research to create good competition and product advancement!

4. Enjoy seeing everyone in the sport at every race just like Formula 1 but more fun and super stoked!

Especially one in Antarctica.
That would be freaking awesome, except for maybe the temperature.
But y'know, details, details.

Buy a nice little house in the British Properties and have Site Design Group design my back yard.

**JamieReis** · 09-04-2009 11:55 PM

What wouldn't I do? I'd probably buy about 100 acres and build a downhill course with chairlifts and banked turns, tunnels, all lit so you can ride it at night. Maybe put a retractable roof on it like a stadium so you can use it in the winter, and I would just invest the rest of it into maintenance and stuff. Probably would make a killing operating it when it was all done anyway and it would be great for the community. Then I'd just make sure I ran the most gnarly event in the world every year.

**Gs-boards** · 09-05-2009 12:52 AM

Buy myself a new gravity hypercarve, Carve 39 and some 70mm zigs and i make a bank-ditch in my backyard. and the rest i give to the little poor kids

as others said buy and pave a mountain but have a sweet ass shop with cnc's and all the goodies at the bottom, with also a lodge and campground and chairlifts for the hill (dual purpose for when winter comes)

**a_speck_of_dust** · 07-25-2010 06:58 PM

**Loki440** · 07-25-2010 07:01 PM

how is that skate related ?

**TylersEM2** · 07-25-2010 07:03 PM

I would make a thread, and the first 10 people too post in it get ANY setup of there choice (As long as it is available for me too purchase) And spread the stoke forever. I would make a longboard house. I would buy whatever setup I wanted whenever I wanted it. I would probably have the BEST SETUP IN THE UNVERSE(I know, it's impossible because of personal preferance...) for each disipline. haha.

Dude, it's a ****ing fighter jet. Who cares?

**B_Dubya_B** · 07-25-2010 07:31 PM

I would build the mother of all downhill runs. also hash.

**Xgecko** · 07-25-2010 07:31 PM

Set up Trust Fund for the Soda Factory. Finish the Skatepark in Westerly RI and then build a concrete skatepark in my parents home town (Newport RI). Find the designer of the San Diego Concourse and have him build something like that in RI with a nice Breaking Ground park at the bottom and the new Soda Factory digs onsite (need to have onsite RnD) Buy a run of Indy 215's and have them change the Baseplate back to the Stage VIII design (oldschool drilling and Hexhead kingpins)
