  1. Oh, I'm definetly interested in the board. Sorry if I made it look like a joke. It's only that I was thinking you were talkig 450 dollars + 100 dollars shipping, I did not think we were talking in euros. I dont have 550 euros on me right now. If we were talking in dollars, then I'm definetly interested. That is all :) I hope I'm clear enough..
  2. 550€ is a bit too much for my budget right now :) I thought we were talking $ :) Thanks for the chance, anyway ;) bye
  3. So, If we say 550$ that wouldnt do? :D hehe.. ok, got to try, dont blame me ;) Cheers
  4. Man, I'm looking for a 170 madd, but there is probably little chance for it being shipped to europe without much hassle and price rise, right? :)
  5. I played with this idea last year :) It's for a donek that I'll hopefully someday get to have ;)
  6. Hey again! :) I have a few questions about the equpment. Helmets. Really thinking about a full face one, so: What kind of helmets do you use? Motocross helmets? and.. Do the spacers and speed rings come with the trucks/wheels? tnx
  7. Oh, I'll buy the 42 plates... I've made out of the past posts, that it'll be bether this way... What are the other options with the trucks? Kahalanis look nice, but waaaay over the budget :)
  8. I really think that my first setup will be a Landyachtz evo with RII180 and Lime BigZigs.. the Randals and Limes keep poping up everywhere, so it will be a good choice I'm shure.. And the Evo.. well, I like it. I like the shape, the graphics.. the reviews are all positive.. :) But thenagain its more then a month untill I buy it and things can change.. :)
  9. Thanks for concrete wave link :) will definetly check it out. RII 180 are a better option, then.. How does a flat surface compare to a Evo surface (dont know how to describe it, sorry.. droped middle deck? :) )
  10. Thank you both for the ideas and tips. To tell you the trouth, I do not have a death wish, so safety is definetly a priority. So, when I buy a deck with all the other parts, those parts include a full face helmet and other protective hear. Knee pads without doubt, sliding gloves anb perhaps elbow pads. Later, if this sport sticks (it will, without a doubt), then cometh the leather. Untill then I can use my leather jacket and I'll be a heavy metal longboarder :D Put on some torn jeans, a chain by my side and a leather jacket, that would turn some heads :) Sadly, this sport is not well known in my country. I know there are longboarders, dont know any personaly and people dont even know what a longboard is, so I definetly will stand out :) But that is part of the fun :D One more. The trucks. Should I buy (talking about Randal here) downhill or RII 180? I've read that downhills are incredably stable (those speed wobles look scary :) ) and if you loosen them up, they are ok for carving... So, what would be better? Thanks again for the help. you guys are great
  11. Any of you have any expiriance with the Landyachtz Evo? I'm just reading the reviews of it on Silverfish, like Gecko suggested, and the decks seems good...
  12. Hey, thanks for the reply! Those sure are nice boards.. What trucks and wheels do you reccomend for a speed board?
  13. Hello :) I always wanted to long board and every summer the wish comes up again and again. But the problem is, I really don’t know that much about this things.. This time I've put some money together, so I'll buy me a deck soon. The thing is, I need suggestions. Now, I don’t want a city cruiser.. I like downhill carving (I’m sure you all know this video: ) I know it will be a long road until i can carve like that, but hey, the wish keeps burning in me. So, I need a deck that is best suited for this kind of carving + an occasional drive to work or school, but downhill with sliding and control, that is the main wish….<o></o> <o></o> Any help would be awesome.<o></o> cheers<o></o>
  14. :) maybe I'll drill out my carving a little more before I take my camera out with me :D Thank you for the anwsers.. I'll look into those bags
  15. Hello all! I have a question... When you bring a camera with you, when you go carving, how do you protect it? I have the DSLR cameras in mind here... I've recently bought an EOS 30D and I can already see that I'll be able to do some amazing action shots on the slope... but how to protect it against damage when you fall and stuff... Any ideas? How do you do it?
  16. On my mountain a board sliped from a turist that was learning how to snowboard... It went some 50 meters down the hill and strait into my board that was resting at the end. I was teaching my GF how to snowboard at the time... It made a nasty dent at the back. That happened becouse he didnt have a leash. They sat down and took a rest and the idiot just placed his board on the ground, not upside down. It got away. Same thing happened to my friend at a major ski resort in Austria. The board escaped and plunged downhill for a LONG ride. It's a miricle nobody got hurt... I dont find the leash important for when you fall but for those moments when you are not straped in and you are not carefull. When I was on a freestyle board I used to walk around on the hill with the leash attached... When a ski escapes, it has those little brakes on the side, snowboards dont, so you have to tie them to you... I, personaly, always used a leas (a metal one from deamon, it's curled up and it sticks to my leg nicely so it doesnt flap around) and I always tell my GF to wear it. just my opinion..
  17. I needed the T nuts for my HEADs. Tried without but they spun when I tried to tighten them... And the boots are 2 years old. So they are a must for the HEAD boots... At least that is my oppinion... :)
  18. Hans, I sent you an email. Im ok for the deal. Just in any case you did not get the mail. Thanks
  19. Did not get the mail yet... If I dont get it to tomorow morning I'll send you a PM. If you have any other pictures please send them :) . cheers
  20. If the deal with Algunderfoot does not go through, count me in for the deal. I live in Slovenia, so the shipping would not be a problem. cheers
  21. Hey! I might be interested. Is the board still available? if it is, mail me to : zabkar.miha(at)email.si thanks
  22. You think it would be worth buying? It's for about 120€. Ofcourse I'd need to see it's condition first, but it's tempting... :) Hot website this is their website. On the upper right corner are the HOT snowboards and then you can click the archive..
