hell yeah boy! haven't you had those since the early part of the summer? looks like you've even got some bevel left (and since then, i have significantly increased the bevel)

which reminds me.... I really need to update my pictures. The gloves linked in my signature would not pass inspections today! hadn't quite gotten down the technique

haha, don't worry man... they'll stop doing that after a few sessions. This is fairly common among leather gloves when you are sweating a lot. I've been using the same pair of MX since February, and it's been so long since I've had orange fingers, I actually forget they initially did that

"Any1 need any T-shirts or stickers? Best quality & prices in Wyoming! Give me a call! Or my Dad @ 307-***-****"

Yeah, minus 1 month because i got em a day before i left the country for 1 month. but yeah they are durrrrrable. but then again i am super super light (120lbs) and i prefer standing slides rather than hands-down......

but they're still soooo nice. i'll get some shots of some hands down slides so maybe you can post on your future website.

oh and btw, my greenhorns that you gave me still have a huge bevel and I ABUSED them today. Took them down a .5 mile road with an 11% grade and a lot of blind sweepers (where I have to pendy though) so yah

[DirtyCarve]

Mudslide pucks do NOT wear.
I went out skating with a friend for a day and by the end of it he had taken 5mm of his cutting boards while my greenhorns looked like they only gained a few scratches.
Life-time mud slider right here, all my friends want some as well!

yes please do. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to submit MudSlide action shots.... be it pictures or videos. I'm going to have a section on my site dedicated to all my fine customers. I'll download them to my computer as they come in, so they're ready to go for the website launch. There's quite a few buried in this thread already, but I'll contact the poster first for permission




Here's one of mine from many months ago... shot during "product testing". Look closely and you'll notice the gloves don't even have logos yet

-photo cred to Francois Portmann

And that was at the Style session we had the morning after the Broadway Bomb

My friend/Earthwing member Andriy took/edited this one

And if that wasn't blurry..

[Sneakerholic]

Jeff when will you start the Mudslide Tech team?

[gavmck]

Mudslides gave me magic slide powers so I got 2nd at the 6-3-1 Greenwich slide comp.



On another note, I was STILL riding the first set of mudslides sold with the first set of pucks at the High wycombe outlaw race last weekend. I don't have any bevel left, but DAMN these things last! I bought a new set cos I thought they would die, but they STILL haven't aaah!!!

No more yellow hands either...

you think those are hardcore? thanks! but oh man..... you, sir, are in for a surprise

For reference, that picture is from March (i.e, before I officially started this company). Want proof? Check out the pucks on my gloves.... they're actually upside down gravity palms!).

Now imagine what happens when you get bored one night and are around an endless supply of delrin pucks and velcro. Let's just say I got tired of buying TSG recaps. it's like medieval scale armor for the 21st century

HAHAHA. If I see a Delrin suit of slide armor I am going to lose it.

back in the hospital.... going under the knife tomorrow morning

and just when I thought I was getting better...

[luftywaffles]

whaaaaaaaa why?

[jmasta]

what started as a simple followup appointment with a PA.... turned into, "you need to see the doctor immediately"...... which turned into, "I have no idea how you've even been trying to go to school. You need another CT-scan ASAP"

today's cat scan looked identical to that of a month ago... i.e, nothing they've done has had any impact. Now they're tired of messing around... and are just going to cut me open to get a look and then start chopping #### out

fun times
