If you're a bigger dude, or like a looser fit, go with the new XL. (I'm 6'2" and prefer the looser fit of the XL, but the L still fits me extremely well)

ALSO... I've got three grades of pucks.... why not have three grades of gloves?!

MudSlide Elite gloves coming soon. Did someone say carbon kevlar knuckle guards?

Oh Jeff, your such a tease!

europe is the shizz jeff

**gavmck** · 10-26-2009 03:42 AM

Nice one, cheers dude! I sent him your way cos they need gloves for their uni society so all the newbies can learn to slide. WOOO MUDSLIDE!

**stringtheory** · 10-26-2009 07:40 AM

Yo, spent 3 hrs on Greenhorns yesterday. I'm not usually a big fan of UHMW (I'm Delrin spoiled) But I was soft wheeled sliding, so I didn't need the same speed. But wow, They are fast! This green UHMW doesn't seem as "soft" as some other colors I've used and seemed to have a lot less drag. A+ man!

p.s. I love round pucks with full Velcro on the back. Quality!

So not 30 minutes after my last post, I laid down to go to sleep and was met with an excruciating stomach pain. I could barely breathe and was in so much pain, I had my girlfriend take me to the hospital at 3am. I've been hospitalized ever since, and just took a 2.5 hour ambulance ride to another hospital... which is where I sit now, typing with only 9 fingers since I have to wear a pulse monitor

Not sure how long I'm going to have to stay here... but hopefully I will be better by this weekend, since it's impossible to make killer slide pucks when confined to a hospital bed

**luftywaffles** · 10-27-2009 06:11 PM

that stinks....

GET BETTER SOON JEFF!!!!!!

<3

**Shavarsh** · 10-27-2009 06:15 PM

hope nothing is seriously wrong, I will be praying for you

**stringtheory** · 10-27-2009 06:23 PM

Get well soon man. Sorry to hear you're in the hospital!

**MJKam11** · 10-27-2009 07:41 PM

Sounds like apendix (I went through that ordeal). Good luck if it is, just ask for the tylenol they stick up your ass, it works better than any other pain medication i've had besides vicodin.

**Irrationalist** · 10-27-2009 09:07 PM

Ooh damn stomach pain. I got your e-mail and was hoping you were in the hospital for some epically greedy slide injury.

Good luck mate!

**sk8brdngroxx** · 10-28-2009 04:49 AM

i got that a while ago its the worst thing ever when i had it i had like an impacted intestine

**jmasta** · 10-28-2009 07:50 AM

yeah it sure does sound like it, but..... I had my appendix removed three years ago!

It's actually a very similar pain as an appendicitis, but spread out over my entire abdomen. The doctors still don't really know what is going on. going in for another cat scan in a few hours

I'm glad I was transferred to my hometown hospital. At the other one I wasn't allowed to eat or drink ANYTHING. no water, nothing

hahaha yeah that would have been a much better story for a longboarding forum

i fall really well... it's those internal sneak attacks that get me!

**mark33** · 10-28-2009 01:01 PM

hope you are ok mate...speak soon, when you are able

**MJKam11** · 10-28-2009 04:23 PM

####, just when you thought you were done with abdominal pain too.

**carvinconcrete** · 10-28-2009 05:37 PM

sorry to hear that, get better soon!

**jmasta** · 10-29-2009 04:35 AM

I've been trying to catch up on emails with all this downtime, but after 5 minutes I get so nauseous I have to put the computer down.... like right now for instance

haha and the only reason i'm awake at 4:30am is because every time I finally fall asleep, my IV pump starts beeping and wakes me up
