Bows Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well, I'm sick. :-( Pounding headaches, loss of my voice, throwing up, everything. I have to miss class today, and maybe even tomorrow. Hopefully I'm better by Thursday. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it pretty much the same concept as a skateboard? I'm guessing it isn't but idk. Is it more about speed or what? "Only by going too far can one find out how far one can go." T.S.

H2PM Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Its just about riding the roads man. It is very different from a skateboard, your main focus is just chilling and riding.

aeternitatis Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Sounds pro. I've been kinda interested since I heard about them, but all I can do on a skateboard is ollie high so I never got into it. "Only by going too far can one find out how far one can go." T.S.

Shiny Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'd like to do a bit of longboard. Unfortunately, it is very hilly in my region and going up those hills would be a [bleep]. I'll just stick to my BMX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Climbing the hills are totally worth it, particularly if the tarmac is really smooth. You can buy longboards deck only, rather cheaply too. Try out Daddies Board Shop. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffwilson99 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Our roads suck in a lot of places, same with our footpaths. Not always the best fro skating. Not that I skate...but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 How much can you spend? 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeternitatis Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 How much can you spend? Uhh, I have about 150 on my pre-paid Visa right now. I'm willing to spend all of that, which isn't much I guess. The decks alone are like 100$ before S&H on that site you linked. Would 150 be enough for anything half-decent?

Sam Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Buy a deck on it's own first if I were you - then PM me about trucks/wheels/bearings/bushings. If you do buy one, what would you mainly be looking to do with a board? Downhill? Cruising? Dancing? Commuting? 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dax Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Woke up an hour or so ago. Been sneezing all morning, blowing my nose and what have you. I guess I'm sick. :\ My dream last night combined everything that happened last night. Even Johnny Cash appeared, and all I did was look for his American Recordings.
