Sorry, another one slightly off topic....

Someone posted a link to some really nicely crafted longboard skateboards. But I can't find the link / post.

Chrispy, it wasn't you either, RE: Honey Skateboards.

Could have been humancartoon

I don't think it was him either. He's Melbourne based The boards were from Sydney I think. A boat builder turning his craft to Longboard Skateboards.

Nobody replied to the topic. Maybe someone reported it, and it was deleted?

Way too old for the sk8e thing however just took my daughters cruiser for a ride around the hood to check whats happening.I've got a felt mt bike but I find it too uncomfortable,thinking of a mens cruiserretro of course.

Rear suspension for you Mac !! But you won't get that a Cruiser. Cheapest option is your daughters cruiser for next months trip! I mean that with sincerity !

The Felt is a great bike but it tends to hurt my back after an hour,the cruise has lower sitting with higher bars which gives me no pain.

Mac, you might need a bike fit. An MTB should not be uncomfortable. What size is it.

Bike fitting is a good idea. Specialized fitted their bike to suit me, and it felt 20% more comfortable and 10% quicker than anything I'd ridden previously.

It took maybe 30-45 minutes.
- 5+ minutes warm up
- 3 minutes of him watching me on the bike
- 3 minutes off the bike for first adjustments
- 2 minutes taking measurements
- 3 minutes riding, watching again
- 3 minutes of adjustments
- process continues....

I was impressed! This sort of tweaking could take 3 months to 2 years between you & your shaper (for surfboards), and 5 board later.... you're still going!

Nah fk that I'll just go the big kick ar-e cruiser

FSU skateboards also makes a nice deck in OZ.

Yep, that's it. Thanks. I tried a number of different searches on here and google but couldn't find it.

Those little colourful skateboards are a mere fad, and a toy. Will do the job for basic Skate Transport, but will be slower, less stable, and even not as safe because you have less control.... plus your feet are so close together which will only help the skateboard "trip" on stones.

It takes a fair bit more than that to "trip" a big longboard cruiser!

She's a great poker too!
They airbrushed her face for this photo, but the other assets are genuine!

simgromdo is right,i hate those penny boards and the imitation ones even more get some 75mm abec 11 or my prefered wheel the siesmic 3dm yum,those types of wheels are virtually unstoppable. chuck in some bones reds and your set. bones ceramic are not necessary grom man for what you want,more of a poser type thing i love skating

I take it that you are talking about bearings, are the ceramic 100% ceramic or just coated?

fb west aus ryders

I have Swiss Bones. Pretty good bearings. I get a few comments from the kids on their $25 K-Mart Boards. I let them have a ride. Main comments are "smooth", "fast", "quiet".

Mate we can ride anything, that means we don't need a broom for balance.

ouch,haha, if you guys had balance wouldn't you on a short board -ouch again


dam- new page

i like my paddle,makes feel and look like one of those awkward tight rope walkers, turn something thats easy into something that looks kooky and uncomfortable just to let people think it is more difficult than it is
