inkaholic Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Here is something for all you skaters out here. I ran into Chris Pappas at Bolas shop yesterday and he had me check out his brother Georges attempt at the 100 cone world record. Enjoy.

AccidentalChef Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Oh man, that's absolutely insane. Can't even imagine it, but then I've only got 2 days on a longboard so far. I don't even think my speed wobbles the other night were that fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 It was either that video or this one.:rolleyes: Nothing wrong with Dan, he spent 6 months with skating Cirque du Soliel last year. Plus he makes KICK ASS wheels (pretty much the only wheels I have skated for the last 9 months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photodad2001 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Plus he makes KICK ASS wheels (pretty much the only wheels I have skated for the last 9 months) What are they called? Are they specifically for downhill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 What are they called? Are they specifically for downhill? Dan Gesmer is Seismic/3DM wheels. Some wheels like SpeedVents are pretty much DH only; others like Avilas and Blast Waves are more multi purpose speedwheels; Hotspots, Avalons and Cambria's are both Slalom and multi purpose wheels. Personally I use Hotspots on my DH Freeride board because then give me control in hairball situations that a true speed wheel might not.

Coloradoking Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 still runnin the retros; work great for chargin, SL and GS. today i did baseline; runs about 1 mile or so down the 40th parallel; on my vanguard (that thing has some good high speed stability believe it or not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 hmmm.... nice boardswhen you first buy them... my loaded is now softer; less stable and doesn't feel as comfortable to ride around town anymore; so much money, it should last alot longer than it seems like it inevitably will. another two months (i've had it for about that long) and i'll have a new wall decoration... oh boy.... Anyway..Got my 72mm 74a Gravities in today. It's such a soft and grippy ride. Little bit slow, but the feel is something I'd kill for.

Coloradoking Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 less stable because way up high in the mountains here we have a lot of divots and bumps; which cause the board to oscillate; more oscillation less stability and what i meant was it still has some good high speed stability... unfortunately it feels like its changing for the worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Clearly don't spend enough time under the direction of the Govenator. "Oh s***...do we let the schools fall apart or not?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
