I need a drop board of some sorts... here is current line of thinking: http://eastsidelongboards.com/Dropboard.html Thinking of going for grippier wheels, on acocunt that you slidey guys crash too much. pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Thu Aug 06, 09 8:33 am     Phil, you can throw my 78 flashbacks on and see how you like them. SUPER sticky. I thought you were supposed to crash? Can't wait to see Colby's pictures. My cannon shutter is having issues i'm sure that will be a cheap fix...NOT. Kodiak Since 01 Aug 2005 1114 Posts Slidey Thu Aug 06, 09 8:37 am     Those wheels will slide too, you just want them because they are orange. That looks like a nice board for bombing. I love my dervish though. I would definitely buy it again.

Had that in my hands at daddies two weeks ago - had to fight - to walk out with just new wheels - get it so we can test it I bought this Lunacy but something is wrong with it - I still can't loop like Ruben _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Thu Aug 06, 09 8:57 am     Dudes, found this video on the east side sight. Its essentially the reuban equivalent of long boarding. While it does look a little psycho, I think it gives us something to shoot for. Some of those turns look absolutely sick!!!! http://vimeo.com/1420487 colby Since 23 Apr 2005 613 Posts Celebrity Photographer Thu Aug 06, 09 8:58 am     on the road much of the day, but will try and get photos by tmrw... found this...

That looks like a nice board for bombing. I love my dervish though. I would definitely buy it again. Yes they are orange, and awesome. I know any wheel can slide, I have seen the Adam Colton video where he does it 20 times now. Checkity check, checkity check! I like carving, got several runs with no foot brake the whole mountain. My wheels drift a few inches on really hard carves. Only had to emergency foot brake once when white shirt dog walkers distracted me from a turn. Kodiak Since 01 Aug 2005 1114 Posts Slidey Thu Aug 06, 09 9:10 am     Yeah, I think for me carving is the most fun. I imagine eventually I will get to a point where going faster and faster is cool, but if there is traffic and/or people it makes me a bit nervous to not ahve breaks. I like the dervish since it is flexy enough to really pop out of each of the carves and kind of unweights you like your snowboarding with less effort. Go ahead and get the east side board though and it will give us something else to ride Chooch Since 18 Nov 2007 1871 Posts Wicked Pissah Boston Tea Bagger Thu Aug 06, 09 9:12 am     colby wrote: on the road much of the day, but will try and get photos by tmrw... found this...

I would imagine that a skate punk has to swallow some serious pride to ask a woman on a segway for help. My favorite part of the evening..
