welcome to the board...

that is one of sector 9s better boards...looks like a sweet board. I want to know more about that hill on the last pic...How long is it? How fast does it go? give me some details

Sector 9 produces quality decks but most here don't like them cuz they make mass produced cookie-cutter products. But anyway, good choice on your board and I like how the Gullwings ride. How do you like the wheels?

that is a really nice deck, looks good and rides good.
definately one of my favorite s9's i've ridden

haha thanks.that hill isnt too great its pretty short its like maybe 500 feet,but then it goes up again.id say i went about 30 or 35 im not sure.the board is great and the wheels are beautiful and smooth as can be.here are some more pics.
the side i was going down.

the other side,that hills pretty chilled but not as fun as the other.

this hill we found was nice and long and gave us enough speed to travel 1,000 feet(mapquest map)and keep a good speed,id say going down we got easily 40 then chilled to 25.

thats about it,i have like 4 videos ill post up soon if i can get putfile to work.later

hehe...beat me to it bud.

Welcome to the fish. And that is one of if not the best board that S9 makes...you want hear much slagging of that ride. I've riden one a bunch and I love them. My best friend swears its the best pintail he's ever riden.

good choice.

well let the good old past time or ripping strips off of a person begin

sound like the typical, i dont want to wear a helmet cause it will make me look uncool excuse.

But seriously from the video your going fast enough for well truthfull death, as really just slipping when walking and and smacking your head could kill you. But more offten than not most people crash alot more frequently at slow speeds than fast, due to road irregularities.

Also just wondering from the video, do you know how to brake or is running off the end of your board you braking capabilites at the moment(another reason to get a helmet)

i might be harsh at times but i dont like seeing people getting hurt when it can be avoided

**bamboobomber** · 12-05-2005 07:22 PM

no actually i put my foot down till i was at a good stop cuz i wanted to jump off so i dont make my board go through a puddle.and its not looking un cool,its just more money i have to put in which i dont think isnt necessry yet.

**Longbord1** · 12-05-2005 07:34 PM

i think you should invest in a helmet i decided to start wearing one and i customized it too look cool. no one has been giving me any crap about it probably because i painted it and everything. Anyway i really like your board i think my S9 is the regular wood version of yours i really need to try one of those

**valskater** · 12-05-2005 10:54 PM

you beat me to it...

**bamboobomber** · 12-06-2005 05:29 AM

what does meen?

**cookie** · 12-06-2005 06:11 AM

it means that at 40mph due to the trucks! they will heat up and then your board will catch fire... so you will be a giant rolling fireball and most probably crash and burn.....

or you might just get wheel wobble and fall off.... either or
