There is only one tail on a skateboard. The other end is the nose. Wait until you see what I've got lined up for my new deck...

NVWOCI WVS Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Boneless or old school flips/ollies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've seen a few videos where people boneless in them, but I've seen a few where it looks like they just flex the board down, and then they jump and the flex pops the board up too... Am I seeing that right, or is there more of a trick to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 -Look up 'old school kickflip on longboard'. Your foot goes under the board and scoops it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, who's the insane regular board, street guy. Like the only skater with normal hair.... He does scoop flips, i love his style. Search time. Rodney Mullen. I can do the upside down 360 thingery, i haven't skated for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Y mate was meant to give me one of his skateboards for my birthday, around about when I was 16 or so. If he had, I probably would've been able to skate by now. Maybe I'll buy that lush board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Crazy stuff. What style of longboarding do you do most? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I used to have a 40" carve board with 1/2" risers for carving hills, Now I've just got my little board, because I live in a pretty flat area, so it's a lot more fun to mess about on and takes up less space. I'm building up another experimental 'compact carve board' this week. Watch this space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've been down a similar hill to that, maybe even that hill, on a bike and it scared the crap out of me with front and rear disks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) I just took my new board out for a spin, sans griptape and with wet shoes... ...and it is the most unstable, twitchiest setup I have ever been down a hill on! I think harder bushings are in order. I came straight out of my house, a couple of pushes, then turned into the biggest slope in the area. It felt fine, so I put in a few carves, but my feet weere slipping all over the place, so I dropped into a bit of a tuck and went for it. It rolls pretty well considering the size of the wheels, but it begins to speed wobble at a pretty low speed. I just leant forwards a bit more and dropped my knee. That seems to cure it, but I need to stop half way down the hill at a post box. No way am I sliding on it without griptape, so I stand up and start foot braking. It instantly starts sketching all over the place, and my foot on the board has no grip. It could hvae ended very messily, but I somehow managed to control it with minimal embarassment (it's right outside the village pub). I walked back up the hill and went home. Definitely want some harder bushings. Edited February 9, 2010 by NVWOCI WVS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-Addy A3 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Has anyone here built their own longboard deck? If so, how did you go about it? I know the basics but not 100 percent sure lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the basics but not 100 percent sure lol What kind of deck? I've made a couple. One loooong V-lam speed board, but that died. and a glass laminate slalom board, but that wasn't great. I want to try aother glass lam board. They feel really nice to ride if you get them right. A really long one with lots of concave and flex...
