cash to spend

**pistol pete** · 04-01-2008 08:00 PM

i just won a march madness pool and recieved 180$ so i thought i would spend some of it on longboards and add another complete to my small quiver consisting of vanguard/r2 180's/83flywheels and a hellcat/crails/zigzags. some things i want to improve/learn on this new board that i am having difficulty on my current boards are sliding(i want to get good at a wide range of slides), pumping, or just have a great all around board that i can do lots of stuff on. right now im thinking about earthwing drifter http://www.milehighskates.com/catalo...oducts_id=1600 or gravity minicarve/tracker rts/rtx 149's/powerballs or 76 superballs. so wat do you guys think i should get? other suggestions would be helpful just please dont tell me to just skate what i already got or search or something (only constructive criticism)

so thats one vote for a sliding board. anyone else have any opinions?

I would by the Brad Edwards 40 by Gravity. Its a good slide board that can double as a pretty cool park board too.

hmm i think im gonna get the EW 35.5 drifter complete at MHS or stoked. i just have one more question before i purchase it...will a flex4 vanguard with r2 180s be easy enough to learn to pump if i work hard with it? (i weigh 140lbs)

how the hell did you win a pool this year? all these number ones in the final four killed my bracket, and so did georgetown and davidson. o well. but yeah the ew drifter sounds tight also MHM now has 66 mm ew superballs for presale, they come out in a lil bit and if you preorder them you get free bearings and spacers

i know i got killed this year too but me my dad and my uncle put 3 sheets in and split the winnings and my uncle picked like all the upsets so i got 1/3 of the cash

oh and im 5'10" so what size EW drifter should i get, 35.5 or 38?? i like shorter boards for sliding but idk if 35 would be too short since it has 2 kicktails and everything...
