Since there isnt snow in Ontario all year long i like to partake in summer board activities. This activity is longboarding. Does anyone here longboard? If so, what kind of setup are you running?

Il send you an email in a few minutes regarding... aha, i see what happend, may i have your email?

Full name is Victor Plopeanu and im still looking for a ride, il pitch for gas:flamethro

Well it all depends on the severity of the damage, how close is it to the actual edge? how deep is it? Answer these questions and i should be able to help you out.

I sometimes wear a helmet. For example if im just going to a small place with no people and easy runs, i tend not to bring it. But if im going out to a bigger place or riding more challenging runs or im in the park i'l bring my helmet. When i bike and longboard i usually wear a helmet. Concussions arent fun, and i have had one too many.

Alright, i dont work that day, so count me in i just need to find a ride

Hey guys, i can come but i have no ride since my dad has the car for that day. If anyone can give me a ride up there and back down id appreciate it. Im in the etobicoke area, bloor/westmall to be specific. Thanks in advance Vic.

Alright, thanks for the encouragement, il check my schedual and il reply to reserve a spot

I may just come out, this is my frist year hardbooting so im not too good and im not sure of the level of the people coming out. But i would like to ride with other hardbooters so i may just jump on this oppoturnity.

Id tell them to get out and enjoy it, since its slowly dying, here on ontario perfect turns deep carves ooohoho im in love

i went there today, first day carving!! conditions were great

Today was my first day out on the alpine board, and let me say i loved it, the first couple of runs were a bit sketchy as i got used to the angles and stiffness. But after about the fifth run i got the hang of it. Nailing turns, no sliding at all, just have to say the the feeling of carving a nice big wide hill is amazing. I had soo much fun in fact that im going again tomorrow !!! and hopefully the hangover wont happen.

bomberonline thats all he needs to know he just seems like a narrow minded individual so if it were me id let him know about the control and turning possible with hardboots. then just laugh

Ahahahaha, nice find, like andyyt316 said, kinda reminds me of beastie boys.

Thanks again guys, im heading to blue sometime next week (winter break) and im gonna bring a screw driver with me and gradually increase the angles as ther day progresses. Hopefully it'll work and il be fine.

Ahhh alright, thanks man, il see what it comes to with 0 overhang.

Thanks for the info guys, the way its set up now i have a bit of overhand, maybe an inch and a bit over, and correction, the angles are 45

Alright, thats what i set it up to, minimal heel and tow drag, its riding at about 40 degrees, which will take some getting used to from my softboot 15 and -5 but I think I can manage it.

Hey guys, I now have everything i need to start carving, boots, board and a set of race plates. Now i have one question, What would be an ideal angle to set my bindings at? I have been snowboarding for some time now and carving on that board is not a problem. If it matters the board is a burton FP 5.7 with a 27mm sidecut and a 200 mm waist. The boots are suzukas 30.5, 239mm sole. Thanks in advance Vic.

I notice alot of rock from people, but i love to ride to jungle, house music, d and b and oldschool punk. Somtimes i do enjoy a nice mellow song for a cruise for some long wide carves or when im riding the freestyle board.

yeah i wanted ot bump it but for some reason, or my stupidity i couldn't find it. Il send the email and hopefully everything fits :) Ahhh i want to get out riding, this is killing me:smashfrea thanks for the info what might the email be? I looked in contact but i found a bunch of them.

Could anyone possibly tell me how long the soles are on Raichel SB 413 Size 30 mondo, or something arround that, i want to know if theyd fit into my race plates.

Well it could be the candle you are using. Usually when i petex bases at the shop i clean it out first, and if necessary i use a cutter to widen up the cut. I then proceed to candle it, try to minimize the red/orange flame, the more blue flame the better. try to get a steady stream with it (like braze welding if you know how to weld). youd want to pile it up a bit, maybe have it a few mm over the base. Let it cool for about a minutes or two and then scrape it with a metal scraper, be slow so you dont loosen the petexed area. scrape base and then you shouldnt be able to see it. Hope that helped, any other questions just ask.

bump to the first page
