**denhamcla** · 08-27-2005 03:42 PM

Im trying to learn how to slide, but of course i keep ending up on my ass. Im wearing carharts, but even those are dying... Any advice on how to keep the ass safe? Thanks

i coated the butt and other wear points of my pants with a flexible black polyuratehane coating...seems to be holding up for the odd time i end up on my rump...

Don't they have like pre ripped jeans and stuff? Just say your shorts were meant to be like that.

duct tape was popular at the lush longboards summer session. french road cone is apparantly the ****, but obviously thats not gonna be too easy to get unless you like in france. If you sew more denim in, put it inside the jeans, otherwise the edges will catch and rip off in no time. there are some jeans on sale with kevlar re-inforcement it think (for motorbikers) but their quite pricy. rivet on some of the real thin chopping board? im gonna try that if i can sneak one from the kitchen.

you could always get some kevlar and use it patch holes or reinforce places you think you're going to tear up

Does Carhartt or anyone else make heavy-duty shorts with a long inseam/length. I know that Carhartt makes some burly shorts, but they're kinda short.

Can you post a pic of that, having a hard time imagining what it looks like. AN image of old snowboard pants comes to mind with the big black ass and knees.

**Bushman** · 08-30-2005 02:17 AM

basically, black butt, black knees. on black (faded) heavy fabric pants. I rolled truck bedliner epoxy on and let cure, then rolled on more. Looked madmax but worked. i try to dig up the pic of them..

Great idea, now i can picture it anyway, post if you can.
So what if it looks Mad Max, hell it is Mad Max.

I have some old black cargoes, i'll try it is i can just find bed liner here.

**Mile_High_Mark** · 10-17-2005 11:17 AM

Carhartts on eBay, man. I picked up a pair of burly Carhartt shorts on there for under $20, and they're the thickest (black!) denim I've ever seen.

and this is why god gave us value village and goodwill.

i have like 3 or 4 pants that i dedicate solely to longboarding. got em for cheap at salvation army, and whenever you can see more of my boxers than pant on the backside, just go to salvation and grab a pair for 3 bucks.

has noone ever heard of PATCHES?!?

truck-stops and punkrock shows are prime places to get the best patches.

**kendall** · 10-20-2005 12:39 AM

Sew velcro onto the seat of the pants/shorts.

Attach other side of velcro to chopping board - or buy replacement pucks with velcro attached.

Attach puck/chopping board to seat to seat of pants/shorts. Slide your arse out!!

Make sure you remove the pucks from seat of pants before getting in car to drive - uncomfortable.

i have never gotten a hole on my booty, it just wasnt how i slid all my friends got bert holes on their left buttcheek but i didnt, i tend to not destroy cloths whilst sliding

**nick drake** · 10-20-2005 05:53 PM

every time i fudge up while sliding, i always end up balanced on my gloves and either my heels or toes in a funky tripod. saves my clothes, but kills the shoes.
