The Earthwing Skateboard Army

Whoa.there.tiger. · 12-20-2007, 09:35 PM

I run my mini with bennett 5'0s and some black gbones
sweet sweet deck and i love it
a little bit of wheel bite, but thats just if you're railing it
the gbones ride suprisingly soft for being 95a
i ride it with just some little 1/8inch risers to prevent my trucks from fuxing the deck
and +1 on the zip hoodie i need a new sweet hoodie and i'd be stoked to support one of my favorite companies

New superballs?

rips4stoke · 12-23-2007, 10:34 PM

maybe some 65mm superballs, some crazy earthwing bearings or something....

and yes a 10"x36" slide deck with a concave that eats your feet when you step on, I mean not even soaking your shoes in petroleum gelly would make you slip. and bigger kicks on the drifter to make it easier to get more pop out of it.

I request a t-shirt with you wheelie-ing in prospect park on the front that says "got earthwing?" on the back

a ton of college students are riding minis within the 23"-27" range
will there be a move for that market?

Yeah Brian please, find an European distributor.
I NEED to try the EW SlideA's and am so tempted by a 35.5 Drifter...

If you need a suggestion it could be sickboards.nl, my favourite online shop.
Stay away from OctaneSports instead, not serious at all.

This thread is great...I've been a fan of the EW for a while now. Lets see some pictures guys and girls.

This is my Supercharger...it is a special one because I knew the stock one might be a bit soft for me when I got it. This was one of the original prototypes I believe. It has carbon fibre stringers. The best part about this board is now that I have lost 65 pounds its a completely different ride. Its still flexy but not even close to the way it was. Its hands down my favorite cruiser. I have riden this board everywhere...L.A., New York, Miami, Toronto, The Bahamas. Its had a few different set ups on it, Crails, Bears, etc, but right now its dialed in perfect and outside of trying my reflex powerballs this is how its going to stay long term. Paris 180's yellow/black khiro barrels, biltins and its second set of pink powerballs.

I also have an original run drifter and a mini that I love as well.

ALSO BRIAN PLEASE MAKE ME A XXL HOODIE AND TSHIRT....PLEASE...DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK UP THERE!!!!!

I got your skinny ass bro...I just sent up a one of a kind earthwing/silverfish/concrete wave tee to your boys up in canada.
There were only 3 carbon SG's, you have one, Mike brooke has one, and Kaspar used to have one before too many beers and left it on the train in the east village one night. If I see the joker who has it, I will high 5 him, then steal it back.
Smoker is in the works, we took some turns along the way. It's 3.4 pounds, 42X10.1 and stiff... and that's all I will say. hang in there, I got one with your name on it.

This is my Supercharger...

Mark that is a sweet Supercharger. I ride a very similar set up on mine. EW has quickly become my favorite, gotta support the local East coast companies! Keep up the great work Brian and team. I can't wait to see the Smoker. BTW, what happened to the 76mm Superballs?

Here's my 2 EW boards:

Supercharger, R-II 180's, 'Fishballs, Bones Swiss
Executioner, Indy 169's, Slide A's, Bones Reds

Also threw my Scimitar in the pic because I run EW Superballs on it :P

Incase anyone wants a translation:

We are in the midst of putting together the first inaugural slide jam at a spot in CT called Wheelabrator (Name of the road).
We are already working on getting some major sponsor's to hook it up with some swag for everyone who shows up.
The most needy will get the most! So as to help further along the progression of the riders we have here scattered about southern New England.

The road is closed until march 30th so we are trying to plan on having everything ready to go before then so we have will basically have complete right's to use the road.

It'd be dope if the earthwing army came out and enjoyed the day with us.

We are planning on having an open format similar to the mayhem that went down in the cloyster's that night back in june.

I guess we will make a more formal thread when the time near's.
Keep your eyes pealed.

Till Then!
