NOOB Questions Answered By Dopamine David

Arggh. This has been explained to me multiple times already, but I'm going to go ahead and ask again.

How do you initiate a coleman? I'm finding it real hard to 'kick' the board out. I can do a toeside 180, but I can't figure out how to unweigh myself while leaning back for a coleman. I've tried quite a few times, and I usually just end up turning left or falling off.

how are maguns like the louis vuitton of trucks? (saw the analogy on a sig.. smokeys are to marc jacobs as maguns are to louis vuitton). are they gold plated? they look freaking mean, but are expensive as ####.

Ha. Here's the sig, for reference. Blame/credit sucky, not me!

there you go, couldn't remember whose sig it was

chaunce: drop your back foot on its side and dig your heel into the heelside rail and just push! also use a little upper body momentum to help you out if you can. its hadr to explain the upper body thing but its basically a twist of the upper body and a hard shov of the foot. it takes a real concious effort to really push your wheels out.

Bump to the top of "New Posts" because if this had been there, this thread would never have been made: i can't figure out how to carve

[mc99david]

I was going to open that and help out, but the title was so rediculouse that i knew i couldnt answer without a lot of sarcasm

[st3v13]

If she put i'm a girl in the title. do you think she would ahve had more answers?

[tinypete]

Oh yeah. That thread would be 9 pages long by now.

[mc99david]

oh i'm sure. and people would want video of her attempting to carve. and i'd still be sarcastic

[tinypete]

Yeah, carving is just riding, and then turning hard. Then turning back the other direction.

But I actually do have a somewhat noobish question.
What is the best way to keep stuff from getting in the clearcoat of a board while it's drying? I have a dog, so there's a lot of floating hair around and sometimes we get little hairs that we have to pick out.
Do you have a special place to store it while its drying, because that's what I was thinking about doing.

[mc99david]

I dont know what to do in your situation. I honestly just do it in my shop, and am careful not to sand anywhere near it when its trying. but with a dog, i dont know what you should do. if its warm out you could let it dry outside. it even dries faster that way soemtimes. but besides that, i have no idea. I'd get rid of the dog

Don't worry, David. OP's a girl so she's getting a lot of help.

edit: nvm.

[tinypete]

I guess she's not allowed near the workshop anymore, and I'll definitely let the boards dry outside. It was actually sunny and warm here yesterday.

Of course, I could always shave her fur off.

[K-SHIZZ]

pete, that would be one ugly ass dog. ohhh wrigley

[mc99david]

if you shave her, be sure to post pics

Quoted for humor, because taken out of context this sounds much different...
