Flex
On 5/30/2006 Marc wrote in from (71.231.nnn.nnn)

Thanks, Maybe something like that without a kicktail and maybe a little cheaper. I don't NEED flex, something cheap without flex would work. I am just running ideas so nothing is set in stone.

Flex?
On 5/28/2006 Marc wrote in from (71.231.nnn.nnn)

I am looking for an inexpensive deck with flex in the 30" and under area. something with shape. I want to throw some randal 180's and 90mm flys on it so it has to be shaped in a way that the wheels are outside the deck width. any Ideas?

I hope this was the right area to put this.

If you make it as far as DAGO, you need to Bomb the Concourse!

that is the best run in my opinion...

Parking Garage
On 4/27/2006 *The J Bomb* wrote in from United States  (206.110.nnn.nnn)

Hey Guys!
Okay so the coolest thing to skate are parking garages. I really recomend to skate some. Find one about 5-6 levels up and just go balls out. They are really cool to carve down and take corners at high speed.... Cool stuff for sliding. Just watch for cars coming around corners, I learned the hard way. Its safer at night. The best part? Most parking garages have elevators at the bottom so you can get alot of runs in without the long walk up.
Peace!

sector nine city crush
On 4/17/2006 skyler wrote in from United States  (163.150.nnn.nnn)

the city crusher is a great board for the city.i would get some smaller wheels for itand some smaller risers to make it a sweet board. It's sketchy to bomb hills with but if you'r just crusing around you'll be fine.

I just got a sector 9 bamboo zen 38'' board came with 61mm wheels but im about to drop some 70s on that sucker its pretty nice, good flex and nice design. Sector 9 is great.

Hills and Sidewalk Surfing?
On 1/26/2006 Chris Yandall wrote in from United States  (68.224.nnn.nnn)

Are sidewalks on hills safe skating :D ?

The hills that I know with sidewalks are near suicidal.

Isn't this forum for "sidewalks"? If so, skog and pump the mofoze!

cheers all

chicago suburbs
On 1/24/2006 Nick wrote in from United States  (64.12.nnn.nnn)

I read all your guys chicago posts, if you want some real hills you should come out west its about twenty minutes on the metra or thirty drivin from downtown. i've got about twenty to thirty rip roarin hills, garages, and parkin lots. If you guys want a tour i'd be happy to show you around even though its winter. Let me know, my buddy and i are lookin for more people to skate with.
