i rode accels for years but they’re no longer around. spitfires used to flatspot like crazy but i guess they’re using better urethane now
check out Sunday, sundayskatebmx.com
they have blank complete packages pretty cheap, and their shop boards use the same wood as alien workshop, just 15 bucks cheaper
I can’t comment for the other “sports” but bmx has gotten so gay over the past year or two. It’s the late 80’s early 90’s all over again
This enjoi deck i have is a 7 ply resin… supposedly lighter and stronger as it sayss
All the strange bike messengers downtown rock fixed gear bikes. Are they easy to ride? Can’t it be dangerous?
lol you mean the “hipsters”
a fixed geared bike isnt as easy as getting on and pedaling down the street. just ask “double j” lol.
on the same token anyone with half a brain can figure them out after a few tries. (wont be able to skid and such but at least ride it without panicing)
to me its just as dangerous as riding a regular bike in traffic.
K, I miss it so much someone stole my perfect setup out of my garage, blank decks are the only way to go if you break them often (which I was when I was serious) fury trucks, whatever bearings and I would always get small ass wheels that were hard what was that brand recta? I think those were the only ones I would buy.
what size wheels u guys rockin for street?
Ricta, those were what I had when I tried and failed at technical boarding, idk what wheels i want for my longboard now though, just something hard so I can do some sliding
“technical boarding?”
micah, 54’s
walker: heh, yeah they’re just as dangerous.
great workout though, work the quads way more than a regular bicycle
In. I’ve been looking for more people to skate with.
wheels…i got some new 53s … idk maybe ill just keep em
I can’t wait for those rides to start back up… So much fun and I did not get out much on them last summer because of work…
It was pretty funny watching you two trying to ride my fixed gear… I actually feel more comfortable on that then my road bike…
As for skating goes, I’m down… It’s been a real long time for me and I wish someone would build a half… Was never much into the whole street thing…
If I can remember right I was always on 51’s or 50’s.
Fuck I’m terrible but I’ll definitely come out to skate. I only used my board for transportation in Hawaii. Other than that I haven’t pulled anything since I was a sophmore in high school.
bullshit the one and only time i rode it was right after you built it and i didnt have a problem at all.
I’m down…hopefully I haven’t pissed off enough people here to get myself lynched. LOL
Now where should I get a board from…my “old” board is really ancient.
Willie Santos from about 15 years ago. I’m sure the deck is dry rotted, wheels are dried out and the bushings and bearings would be spent too. I haven’t skated since I was about 15 years old…and I’m 32. I’m an old timer…yeah boyeee.
thinking im going to start getting back into skating again. was into wakeboarding for a while over the summers. but this past winter started snowskating again so its getting me back into the skating mode again. here is a little video i threw together, got some other tricks to throw in (3 flips and some other switch stuff). idk its a fun way to pass time in the winter:
i cant wait for it to be nice out again and go DT and skate.
