Who's into longboarding?

You mean Sector 9. :)

What exactly do you mean it's a 7.5?

Oh, and I deleted everything off my web hosting except for a simple index.html page. Refresh if you get a malware error. I am having Google review the site so it will stop popping up as malicious.

Shit yea i mean sector 9. The deck size is what im talking about

[AndrewBird]

I know that, but 7.5 what? They are measured for their length in inches.

[Jand3rson]

We sell the Chinook at work for $120 for just the deck:

I know, that's where I found it. :D

7.5" wide, i believe he's riding a skateboard not a longboard

[SLUCK]

^ yea width is what i ment. I have a skateboard deck with longboard wheels. it rides fast but is sketchy as hell.

Fuck you Janderson for having such sick hills like that!!! i have a bunch of roads around me that are insane, but all of them are like the surface of the fucking moon, potholes everywhere. a few months ago my friend and i were bombing a hill a few miles away, its a pretty fun hill, we were doing about 40, and towards the bottom it flattens out, so id say we were doing 20, and my friend hit one of the potholes on the hill, his board like exploded out from under him, and i turn around just as this happens and see him some how running out of it, doesnt fall. it was intense. yeah longboardings awesome.

That makes a lot more sense. I know virtually nothing about "regular" skateboards so you had me confused.

just picked this up a few days ago for getting to and from class, i used to skateboard a lot but longboarding is so much more chill. it sucks to live in FL though, hills do not exist

[Jand3rson]

I discovered yet another fucking AMAZING development with about 4-6 seriously epic hills. I hit it up the other night, and Andrew came out later and bombed it a few times as it was getting dark. Hoping to go back maybe Thursday, maybe to try out the new Landyachtz deck I might be picking up tomorrow...

[imdashiz]

currently own a loaded vanguard which is amazing. went 35+ downhill with it. no wobbles. and i own a Longboard larry komodo. which is even better imo. both with paris 180's and otangs.

[Jand3rson]

I can't wait to feel the difference in going from a crusing board to a deck made for carving and downhill.

I equate what I'm doing now to autocrossing with a Audi S8. Sure it has the ability to go fast and handle well, but it's not it's true calling.

[Jand3rson]

Ok, now I'm fucking pumped... I just picked this deck up and Andy swapped on my trucks/wheels at the shop:









It's a 42" Landyachtz Chinook, and it's fucking amazing. It feels really weird being that much lower to the ground, and have the baseplate of the trucks almost above your feet. Feels super stable though, can't wait to try it out tonight!

[Omaliyo]

^^^ is it low to the ground, but say bye to speed shakes....

I have a sector 9 420 pintail, its not that awesome on hills but i just have to stand nearly on the tip to keep from speed shakes.

I cant use it too much due to going to a college where riding skateboards is not aloud.

UBER lame.
