I MAY be able to make it out to Huntington this weekend, I'll find out

CruiseSesh420 · 09-08-2009, 06:24 PM

you guys just do downhill and sliding or does anyone just carve and cruise around??

PurrCrabs · 09-08-2009, 09:44 PM

I'm a carver/cruiser, but I'm working on sliding and switch riding (freeriding) and going faster

generally it is just a mix of people who skate... skating = fun.

I know this is off topic but where do you LI skaters buy stuff for your boards. Does everyone shop online, or are there some local skate shops people can go to??

PurrCrabs · 09-09-2009, 07:45 PM

Internet. Waiting for stuff to ship sucks, but the only shop I know that has longboards is Zumies and it has all Sector 9s

JEFFisNOTfunny · 09-09-2009, 11:04 PM

is anyone up for a slide training session... I have to learn pendys and colemans.... Huntington is really easy for me to get too... and I know alot of you guys skate there because of the hills.

i have 3 local boardshops i use for some of my stuff, but i use the internet a lot.

Bunger - West Islip and Sayville
Rick's - East Islip

Huntington is no problem if that's where you guys are skating.

There's absolutely NO hills around my school

- in Farmingdale - so hopefully Huntington does.

Great ive heard of these places, And just like u i mostly order online granted i haven't ordered to much. But i just want to check out a place where i can feel w/e i'm looking for and/or talk to someone about it rather then finding it online and checking reviews. I am not against reviews but i feel a lot better trying out different things like wheels or trucks per say, when i feel confident talking to someone, rather then reading reviews and being like ok i hope this works.
Also both places sell long board accessories like, trucks, bearings wheels, decks?

They sell everything like that, and they will order whatever you want out of a catalogue.
Rick has Original and Sector 9 in stock and will take a complete apart for you if you want parts. He's got some 10" Indy trucks too.
Bunger in Sayville has a lot of wheels, bearings and trucks, and I haven't been to the West Islip location in a while but they should have everything as well.

PurrCrabs · 09-10-2009, 08:35 PM

BAUER, what time you planning the meet on Sunday? I'd like to try to go (I'm working on sliding now too) but I have class until 1, and would need to try to get a ride out after that, so I'd be out around 2:30 if at all... I'll at least ask now if I can get a ride though

JEFFisNOTfunny · 09-11-2009, 02:12 PM

aight... I'm not scheduled to work... I'm down.... I'll bring pads... lol. where and when. on sunday???

BAUER · 09-12-2009, 08:42 AM

i cant till like 3-4, you could go earlier if you want and meet me.

Ledgewood Drive, Cold Spring Hills is the steet. it is right off the cold spring hills train station.

the rudeboy · 09-12-2009, 06:57 PM

holy crap ive been off for too long haha good to be back. i might be able to make it out tmm but im not sure

PurrCrabs · 09-12-2009, 07:32 PM

I don't think I'll be able to make it, going out over night, then i have class from 10-1, I'd need to find a ride and I'll probably be exhausted.
Is it really wet for you guys over there? Its been pouring for two days here
