    Really cool looking boards utahcarver, mine are a bit less natural looking:D

    Right now i ride two boards, the skull skates is for tooting arround town and the rayne is hopefully going to be my fun board.

    Skull Skates Flow Dart, i think its 46 inches long, on randal 180s and gumball wheels.

    My other board is kinda in transit and at home, its a Rayne Blunt with Crail Speed Trucks and some sort of wheel, havent decided.

    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?

  6. Helmets or not ?

    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.

    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.

    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.

  24. What am I doing wrong

    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.
