Fine Ladies

It was about a week ago, and I was doing some standups around a local corner. The trick I was practicing was a knee down corner into knee down speedcheck. I landed it three of four times, and had done it many times before. Then I tried it and didn't push my leg out enough for the speedcheck, leaving me slightly frustrated. Thats when I saw her. She was a cutie with a bootie, talking on her cell phone while walking. I then knew I had to perfect this trick and impress her. So I go into the corner, everything is perfect. I notice her looking at me, and I remember to kick my leg out enough and get the board as sideways as possible. It's going perfectly, the board goes completely sideways. Senora Caliente is looking right at me, as I get thrown off the board in a highside. I land on my feet, and nearly do a somersault on the pavement. I look at the hottie, and notice that my board and her right shin are on course for a violent collision. I sprint, using my cross country running skills and almost check her as I put my foot on the sector nine roots shooting towards her ankle. The girl gave me a dirty look and kept on walking.

Next try, I do the trick perfectly. My board slides 90 degrees sideways as I grab the back of the tail, my knee staying on the board. I did this just in time for a grandma who was walking at the same spot (apparently people enjoy walking in my neighborhood) to see me and day "you're pretty good at that!"

So do any of you have any entertaining stories containing you trying to impress either hot girls or grandmas (I wouldn't know what you like)

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.
