Saw Tom Bosley in the hallway yesterday. And HIPPA regulations prevent me from providing any details but I think I can say that I spend about 8 hours a day in activities that may or may not have provided the opportunity to spend, say 45 minutes with this dude's brother. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?" And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.Worth a shot. |

A 9 dollar board from Wal-Mart.  I truly just wanted something to allow me to get out for the weekend and get started. The board worked just fine for that purpose and now I can sit back and take my time (and allow for the time to receive it) and build/buy something decent. The key was to just get out there and I'm so glad I did. 9 bucks is 2 beers, or if it's just a throw away I can look at it as park admission. I know if I would have sat here and pondered ordering something online and then thought about waiting a week to get it and then go out, I would have just continued to put it off. |

I was actually going to recommend that as plan B
My problem is I can barely stand up on anything under about 30 inches, and the trucks don't turn on them *goshdarn* things...

It worked really well, and in fact it was the opposite for me. The guy that noticed I hadn't skated for a while recommended I tighten the trucks. He didn't have a wrench with him or I would have taken him up on it. When I upgrade I'll see if Maddie wants this one. I still think I want to go with a wider board. What I'm used to from my early days. Want to head out today to another park. Smaller one and closer but it looks like rain so we'll see. Oh, and the fact that I was the only one in the park over the age of 12 with a helmet and pads on. LOL  |

Every board I have has wheelbite marks, and that's on at least 3/8 risers, so I like my stuff turny. Then again, I don't do kickflip tricks, but I can manage a pop shuvit once in a while.
8" is a nice width, and lots of good 129mm trucks out there. I see alot of Ventures and Krux.

Well I got my 9 bucks worth.
Broken front truck after about 20 minutes today.
All right, time to spend some money.
Yeah I don't do/not interested into any of those street ride tricks. I just like bowl riding old school. Half pipe. I wish I could find a park with some slalom type runs. That is what I grew up on.
