I think we made that one a 49 inch. Super flexy. Too much flex for my <ahem> bulk. But just right for the buck-fifty kid who's riding it.

LongBoarding has been one of the many things that some great friends and I were doing as a Highschool kid.
I love it pesronally, it's just like riding a bike. An offseason snowboarding mentality growing up In the NW.
Cool thrread.

I have a question.
When was the last time any one has done the Idylwild downhill to Hemet?
It didnt really go all the way to hemet But we pushed for awhile till we got to the abandoned chicken ranch. There was a big quarterpipe buildt right outside the door of one of the sheds. The concrete was sooo smooth and downhill. I guess so you could squeegee the aftermath out the door. So fun just to send it, crazy to make it back in through the door.
Anyone ever do this downhil - Idylwild to Mt Center and then to the flats?

Patrick been up around 70. One time we had about a 30 mile an hour tailwind going down the pass. I couldn't keep up in a little rally car, PUNCHING it on the straights, and scaring the sh#t out of myself on the corners. He's also done the pass barefoot and switch a number of times.

'Eh Salad:
Ive been following this thread for a while.
I was never big into skate boarding. The surface is to hard/to much friction not like water or ice.
However I did build some decks BITD for sailing on ice.
They were pretty fun to ride as skate decks with no sailing rig because they had flex but were stiff enough to always maintain a positive camber even with a good size person pushing hard through turns etc.
Here's a couple pretty cool vids of my good buddy back east who rides a deck I built thirty years ago and it's still going strong.
Strong enough for him to set a world speed record on it ;)

Some of these sheets of ice are just spectacular!

God bless gravity sports but ever once in a while a meteorological ride is pretty cool.
Especially if it means serious speed ;)

ha played chicken with some dik with an attitude last thurs nite. was at close to my top speed, 35ish, when this jerk decided to come over into my lane and gun it hard up the hill.
held my ground and the bitch pulled away.
got some props from the young speedsters who witnessed.
