Gecko Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I find it funny that they say it's Switzerland but the cop giving them a ticket is Italian (Carbinari are scary cops too). As for the corner slides that's cool as s4it considering no one is wearing leathers and the speed they are getting... Every time I see one of those vids I have a desire to set up a speedboard....got my eyes on the Fullbag Speedcarver but I just don't have any good hills to run a board like that on (well not exactly true but none within skating distance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freecarver Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I find this session from Austria better. I think that they are the same guys. Enjoy aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Those carves are ridiculous. They're def hardbooters, at least the red guy is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryw Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Cool videos. When they are doing those hard corners, are they sliding the wheels at all? I was just wondering if it would be possible to do something like that on the Carveboard with the rubber wheels :rolleyes:. Those things stick really well and are very hard to slide (at least for me!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 It does look like they're sliding. It might be possible to do it on a carveboard, but the turning radius is too small, at least thats what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, please, please do not try anything like that on a carveboard! You will have speed wobbles like you never imagined - probably enough to launch you right off the road. And rubber tires do not slide or drift well...genarally they will stick, stick, stick and then RELEASE FULLY with no going back. The two close calls with the cars are spooky!

That has been my experience so far! I only slid once, and it wasn't good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEJ Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I love a thrill, but, this just looks STUPID! Going against cars on a skateboard! Makes me thing of the bugs in my radiator. I quit riding road bikes for the same reason many moons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
