I bought this to get the kids off my Never Summer Swift. They like the Swift so I ride this cute little thing. I like it for going to the grocery store.

I impulsed this board while in Daddies board shop. (a fool and his money are soon parted). It got me back into long boarding after many years out. It represents my midlife crisis. I love it and I had to buy others so that I could this one away from the kids.

Longboard Larry makes beautiful boards to ride. They are almost so beautiful I really just want to hang them on the wall as art. I really hated putting my dirty shows on this thing. But ofcourse I had to and, after putting the Original S10 fat guy springs in (210-280 lb white springs) the board is stable and agile at the same time. It's great to cruise at lunch time.

Talk about standing out in a crowd. People stop me when I ride through the park. They want to know where I got it. What's the brand. How is the ride. Etc. It stops people in their tracks.

I get cat calls from cars passing by (the other day some guy yells 'Is that an ironing board?')
