Elbow protection isn't particularly necessary if you are only doing light downhill.

Favorite OTers?
Zierro/CrustyGoblinFoot fastortoise Bows assassin_696 mcneilp Shiny a_local_guy / masquerain I don't have a particular favorite poster, there are many great posts and topics in OT but, so really I could list anyone but the people I listed I feel are notable.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Restaurant is nice, IMO. Go to a proper florist and get a set of roses (or get them delivered) with a little tag saying you love her, etc, no need to be elaborate. Keep it simple! :) I need to take my girlfriend somewhere like that - apparently, I'm rather romantic, and she'd love me taking her to a restaurant.

Longboarding
Dervish is a great beginners board, but if you think it's too flexy, I'd definitely go for a Tan Tien. Are you buying deck only or a complete? Bushings are very easy to replace, though it's hard to explain. It's easier if you have a skater 'T' tool. Check out this link, explains it better than I could. EDIT: 9.06pm - Had a great early evening board around Glastonbury, found some awesome tarmac and getting the hang of stopping using knee/handpads. Broke my wheels in too, really grippy now. Also a image taken at the top of the hill we went down;

Just not being with her ): I think I shall go on my longboard, it's always relaxing.

Argghh, I miss my girlfriend. How can ease the pain of not being with her?

I can't stand schools.
I often think that English teachers often put more thought into books than the authors do.

No im quite sure that isnt the usual place he takes his picture, i dont recognize the things in the left. Moved my computer upstairs, I can't stand the sound of killerwatt cussing when he's playing Halo:Reach.

Longboarding
You don't need hills for longboarding, it just adds an element of fun. EDIT: 1st October 9.03PM: Got my new bushings, this board is fantastic now! <3

From Bones 'Reds' Bearings product page on Octane Sport. "The purpose of the ABEC committee (Annular Bearing Engineers Committee) is not to test every manufacturer’s bearings and proclaim them good or bad, but to establish dimensions, tolerances, geometry, and noise standards for bearings in an attempt to aid industrial bearing manufacturers and users in the production, comparison and selection of bearings for general applications. However, since every bearing is used in a different manner and environment, bearings should be redesigned or “customized” for special uses (like skating). The ABEC rating system is not intended to be the only criteria used for selecting bearings for use in specialized applications like skating. It is only one of the tools a bearing designer can use if it is appropriate for the application. The ABEC rating system includes grades 1,3,5,7, and 9. The higher the ABEC rating, the tighter the tolerances are, making the bearing a more precision part. High precision and small tolerances are required for bearings to function at very high RPM, in products like high speed routers that must spin at 20 to 30,000 RPM. In an application like this, an ABEC - 7 or 9 bearing rating may be appropriate. However, a skateboard with 54mm wheels turning 20,000 RPM will be traveling about 127 MPH! Since virtually all skating is done under 30 MPH, the realistic maximum RPM your skate bearings will see is about 4700 RPM and probably 90% of skating occurs under 2000 RPM. Thus, very high precision is not required at skating speeds. The dimensions and tolerances controlled by the ABEC standards include the diameters and widths of the raceways, their shapes to some extent and the smoothness of the running surfaces. The ABEC rating system ignores side loading, impact resistance, materials selection and grade, appropriateness of lubrication, ball retainer type, grade of ball, the clearance between the balls and the races, installation requirements, and the need for maintenance and cleaning. All these bearing design requirements are very important to the performance of your skate bearing, even though the ABEC rating says nothing about them."
