Recycled Skateboard Jewelry

I like them. They are fairly expensive seeing as they cost almost as much a new deck, but they are really cool.

Something nice to accompany these would be the outer race of a bearing. You can remove these by thrashing too hard for over a year without replacing your bearings. The balls should fall out while the shield crumbles, then you can get out the outer race. This might be more work, but fun work it is and it proves you skate enough to kill a set of bearings.

Learn How To Foot Brake Well

I know my personal stories are quite boring and no-one really cares about me but heres one that I hope entertains you.

I recently found out I can stop quite well from fair speeds. Yesterday I was doing maybe 30 down a hill when I saw a car pull out of its driveway. I started airbraking to see if it would stop blocking the whole road but no it didn't. So I decided I needed to footbrake. So I put my foot down. Then it catches and I do a superman onto the asphalt. It was like a painful slip'n'slide. I got multiple cases of deep roadrash (very white) with one on my elbow going about a cm deep. I ruined a pair of pants and also managed to take a chunk out of my cell phone (it's terrible anyways so I'm hoping this will help me get a new one). So no riding for a week or so, but this is good for you guys, because I will now actually post things. 

P.S. Has anyone noticed the fact you make alot of jokes when you're injured?

Karrot Bushings Review

Karrot Bushings are made in Hawaii, by a guy named, well Karrot. They are lathed and cut out of abec 11 wheels. Then a magic spell is cast on them, which is what makes them so amazing.

Product: pink 77a stims top and bottom front, pink 77a stims top and jimZ bottom

Used On: Zealous Felon, Randal 150s, Lime 66mm ZigZags

The Feel: Amazing. I have these bushings fairly loose, loose enough that I almost get wheelbite. These bushings have made randals carve like real trucks for the first time for me. But even after this, they are the most stable bushings I have ever ridden. They turn perfectly. I've stuck turns, drifted turns, slid and bombed faster than I've been before, and I got them yesterday afternoon. In comparison to JimZ bushings, they are not in the same class. They are stabler and turn a billion times better.

Price: $5 per bushing, 2 for shipping and 1 for paypal fees.

Final: Completely worth it. These can easily change around any setup and are a large improvement over any other bushings on the market.

The Best Canadian Longboard Company?

Well, the poll is closed. Apparently my readers think that Rayne is the best speedboard company that hails from Canadia. Kebbek is following in a close second. I'm surprised landyatchz wasn't higher up. Normally people prefer them over kebbek, atleast from what ive heard

Selina Gomez Rides a Loaded?

A pintail with bigzigs at that. I know im going to buy one now.

Corbus Boards

Are these guys for seriousness? I mean really?

It's like lost photon, they might look cool, but are pieces of crap. (Some even have lighted risers, for an underglow effect at night)

They're a cheap $300, with seismics and no-name wheels. If you've ever wanted an aluminum gas mask shaped board with no concave and minimal griptape then nows your chance.

"Why ride just a board when you could ride one of our shaped aluminum boards?" 

Because im allergic to seahorses. That is the only reason.

Getting Back Into It

Well after 2 weeks of no longboarding whatsoever and a month with no serious longboarding it was definitely time. I went out today and after two runs I was pulling stand-ups and speed checks. soon I leant sit down grabbing speed checks a la adam colton style and got a ton better at doing switch backside stand-ups. So I'm uber stoked and you guys need to ride and share my stoke. Have fun!
