holy shlt! i hooked up with some dudes from sliverfishlongboarding.com tonight....
those mother f'ers are FAST!
so cool, no attitude, just sharing the stoke...
people in the neighborhood just watching those guys bomb hills at what (they estimated) at 45+ and giving us rides back up the hills just to watch us (well them, not me, i was far behind) do it again.
really, really good vibe tonight....

Had my longboard lifted from my front porch! It's been 20 days and nothing has turned up. Someone got some BAD Karma coming. Could not take it any longer and order a new board.....

dude that blows...
im getting a new board next week. thinking about the 33" Sergio Yuppie Pro Model, with those 99a sergio wheels.
also want that 55" Ed Economy. i rode a worked in one of those a while ago and was suuuuuuper smooth and tasty.
hope the wife falls asleep early tonight. need a fix!

The sergio looks pretty cool. The hard wheels will help with the sliding. I ended up getting a LY dropwedge with some 83mm flyhwheels. Arrives on MOnday...I think I will miss NOT having a tail. I hope my wheeells are big enought to run over small children. I though about the PP ray Barbie as a trick board to work on some kickflips, love the options of upturned nose and tail...sweet.
Man I need to learn to post photos. That guy in Josh has the worst FOOT BREAK ever! more like a toe break.

yeah i just to talked to robbie and he warned that small wheel base on the sergio makes it a little twitchy.
he suggested the 35 pool model (tail and nose kick) or the 36 logan, which he rides, which i have ridden once and liked.
emailed pick posting instructions

Who has skated from Lake Sabrina to Bishop? I've done all the other descents around Bishop area, but haven't done this road. Well, haven't done South Lake either, that would be a good run. It's busy. Have to be a late night run on the Carve board to do it.
Well, ok haven't done the Sherwin Grade, but 395 freeway is way busy. Old 395 or Old Sherwin grade Road is awesome. Great run.

Saturday's Indian Cove run... wish it was better, but I couldn't keep that animal nickname guy in the viewfinder for long... board too stiff, complete rookie, turns not sharp enough to cut the speed, no slide gloves, no helmut, etc... In a nutshell, I suck.

Vimeo takes a bunch of processor power to show anything besides flashing images and chopped sound on any of my machines.
I'll try it on the larger machine later... I think Ed might have had a work around for the problem.... I'll do a search and see what turns up.

Russ, since we don't have the Snowleapord like eKat said, maybe try the PC and see if you have similar results.
Steelmonkey, I've got more video for you to edit in, I'll get it downloaded and up on the site where you can pull it down. maybe tomorrow....

Dang, sorry about that Russ.
I went Vimeo because they generally have better quality and they don't hijack my video by remote DRM.
I'll get a copy up later today that you can check out.
