San Antonio LongBoarders - SLAB!

[TexasBomber]

I have 2 of the Comet FSM's. the test model sent out to 14 riders for feedback and the production model currently available on the website. I have not yet set up the production model but ride the test a lot. It is a good board, has some flex in it and seems pretty stable. If your looking for a strictly DH board there are better out there but it is a fun freeride for sure.

ThanX man, really dig the Comet decks, a buddy of mine has the
Crystal Chalice. The FSM has been calling me.

skate update:
rain appears to be going around us, so skate is on.
looks like ppl are at marnoch now (8:40) going to eat, then spec will be at about the regular time.

[SlyTX]

Hey guys how did the skate go last night? Did yall get rained on at all, hit up anything else other than spectrum? Sorry I didnt make it, I was working on some projects Ive got going on on my computer.

Tom has your deck come in yet? Mine is coming in today is out for delivery right now.

Luke, Im gonna test the wheel bit out but could I possibly recruit you to help me with the wheel wells? I have a dremmel tool I may use and might just do it myself, but ive never done it before. Its coming with the Randall 50*, but I wanna mount some 42's on there and see what the clearance is like then too, ill probably be ordering those in a few days.

Its almost June, which means its almost time for my departure. Ive got less than a month left of work, and I was actually able to get my schedule changed so Ill have saturday and sunday off for my last 2 weeks being here. My last day of work is June 26th, and we are leaving to California on July 1st. So that means Ill be able to get two sunday morning sesh's in like we used to back in the day before leaving for good. Hopefully we can all skate on those sundays, that would be awesome.

Edit: Kelly, your bushings are coming in today with it as well.

Funny you mention it, Ive been considering taking the last week off entirely. Ive also got a ton of friends in SA and austin i wanna hang out with before taking off so Ill see what I need to do to get all that done.

Super nice deck, are you gonna mount it and take it for a spin tonight?

[SlyTX]

As long as theres no rain, Jenn and I are hitting up olmos park around 7

[SirKale]

Yo, first up tyler you get your phone back yet? I want to test out your voodoo as is, but will gladly help with some wheel wells if they are needed in the switch to 42 plates.

2nd. Tom I want to ride it.

3rd. While driving back from the bandera 410 area i took wurzbach, there was some interesting stuff so i talked to mike about it. apparently theres a #### load of good runs all right there so... TOMORROW around 5 pm me and mike are headed up that way, anyone else who wants to come feel free, hit me up and ill provide details as I get them. sounds like these are some fast runs and a fun time.

[SlyTX]

Oh yeah man I do have it. The voodoo is here it got delivered today, pics to come in a couple hours. Take in mind with 42 plates im also interested getting it flush cut like yours, and still being able to run a variety of wheels on it. Ill check it out when my girlfriend brings it over.

Luke can you post a map of the area your talking about ?

[SirKale]

Look at google maps on wurzbach from ingram mall all the way to 1-10. according to mike theres like 10+ runs along the way. dont have exact locations yet.
To check for wheel bite issues run the 50 degree plates with flipped hangers, they have the same ride height but because they have slightly less lean its not perfect. a good way to get a feel of ur clearance on the 42's though.
are you only going to be running olmos tonight?

[SlyTX]

Yeah, ill be skating to olmos from my house with the voodoo at about 7pm. Im bringing my chick with me, and she pretty much just pushes around and stuff on flats. When going down a hill she will toe brake the entire way lol.

Sabre bushings go on sale June 8 on MHS.

[SirKale]

ya i really want to pick up some sabre, HOWEVER even though they are 7$ for 2+washers(not a bad price) i dont want to pay 5$ shipping. if anyone was going to order stuff from MHM then we need to pool together and get some free shipping.

Thats exactly what I would recommend. I got kelly some venoms this way. My board just got here, check it out. About to take it out for a spin

Here is olde village drive, its off 1604 and braun. Reagan lives in this area and skates this hill, has some rough spots at the bottom but is pretty good

[ibombhills]

hey guys i was looking for some bushings for a DH setup on an evo with bear 1052s, if ya got anything pm me about um ive got cash. thanks alot guys!

[SirKale]

I want to ride it to see how it feels compared to my chalice. looks like that back section has a bit more narrow going on, but it would be hard to really tell until we put them side to side. also, dont shred the wheels to hard >.>

Dude did you not get those otangs? I talked to the guy and he said he got an offer for 45 (i offered 40), did he ever get back to you? I was planning on using them for a while since i thought you got them . If you still want em, we'll figure it out. The tail does narrow down, that why I like it, it may be a little long Im considering shortening it and redrilling possibly. But hell I am yet to ride it, be back in a bit.

Bombhills, I dont really wanna part with any of my bushings, but Id recommend barrels with whatever you get. If we place an order from MHS, we'll let you know so that we can pool the cash together and make one big order.

[t4bbracer]

Thanks tyler. That new board looks sweet, I don't know about those trucks though haha

[SirKale]

yes i got the otangs coming, but they haven't arrived yet. still wanted to gators to F around with, but if you like them don't worry about it.

[SlyTX]

Yeah no problem reagan, lets skate this tuesday or weds I should have some time. Whens your last day of school? Hows Wild Horse sound?

Im really like the new ride, Ive never been on randalls. I rode them with the stock bushings and it was soooo smooth. Really great ride, not even close to wheel bite and very comfortable. The wheels performed awesome, im gonna ride them some more before sliding them. Kelly Ive got your venoms, Ill bring them next sesh, they were 14 bucks.

[TexasBomber]

If Kelly does not want those venoms I'll snag em up.

[SlyTX]

Damn Tom looking pretty nice. Im pretty sure Kelly wants them, how about you join us on the gear whore band wagon and jump in on the purchase from MHS? Oh wait, your already on that wagon 8)
