you're not actually going to skate on it though are you?
- Donvitoviti0
of course I am.
Gonna use it around my town here and mostly after I get off the Ferry, I will board it along the Bay to my work here in SF

So are you going to most roll downhlls on it? Are you going to be careful with it to not skid the tail up or anything? Can you do any tricks on them?
I don't know much about them but I have wanted one for a while. That or a pool board is pretty cool too. Especially because there is a park around here thats really nothing but a lagre pool.

well a longboard isnt for tricks..
it is made for cruising and cruises fast. They are good for Carving too.
They are great for Hills and great for covering distance

how much are you paying for the whole set up? just curious.
Those boards are gnarly,dude.I have 3 boards (all boris)... he also does custom work... his new site sucks though, can't tell what he does.
In any case I am thinking of getting another board, one that is a bit shorter (all of mine are 4 feet). Love them but they're heavy, and NO TRICKS. Was thinking of a sector 9, I can buy them locally. Looking for a good 38". good thing I'm not looking for a man... always said I was a size queen.

well i got the 52" and it was 100 bucks after shipping.
I picked up my trucks and wheels on ebay... it all came out to ab out 165 or so.. which is a good price for all of that... all that included shipping.
yes he custom makes em how you want it. Just email him he is really nice. I just told him what board I wanted, what stain and what pattern and hell whip it up for you.

If you talk to him tell him you were refered by me.

My short board goes fast enough for me... I can't imagine wanting to go faster. Yer a nutter, I tell ya!
Not being able to do tricks must suck though.
- Donvitoviti0
dude,, they are 2 differnt experiences. Its like Having a Short Surf Board and Long Surfboard.
or Cruising down a Mountain and a Big Mountian snowboard through powder. Rather than having a shrot board for tricks.
Limiting yourself either way is just close minded and stupid.
Riding a longboard has its own rewards. yes a normal skateboard is fun, but it is a totally differnt experience than cruising fast and smooth curving it up with a nice longboard.

*carving it up

'Limiting yourself either way is just close minded and stupid.'
I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. I'm too much of a wuss to get a long board and go faster than I can on my short board. Good on you for doing it!

yeah man, don't get defensive. I'm getting a long board hopefully before christmas, mainly to carve and bomb hill. looks soooo fun.

"I can't imagine wanting to go faster. Yer a nutter, I tell ya!"
I guess I took it wrong although it was pretty easy too.... i see now what you meant
- spendogg0
i like the freebord.
- tymeframe0
i'd eat shit......more than what i already do :)
- Donvitoviti0
ya.. the freeboard is amazing.. the motions and how it acts is just like a snowboard.
i would just be too scared getting my ass run over ... because to use it to its full potential you gotta hit some open streets
