gdboytyler Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I mainly use the carveboard for crosstraining for surfing, but it's still good exercise to get my legs in shape for snowboarding. I can ride the steepest roads I've found by just turning alot to keep my speed under control. I think I'll have learn how to slide the carveboard like regular longboard, just in case. Headache at the end of the clip. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veX-CYqUn1E&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veX-CYqUn1E&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> No headache in this clip: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiM19A6Yf9Q&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiM19A6Yf9Q&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carvingchef Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Erwin, i'm sure you know it's your fault if he crashed you jinxed him right at the beginning, within the first 10 seconds of the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Why Bendy Erwin?Nick name? Supposedly, the late Steve Irwin has a daughter by the name of Bendy Irwin. So my buddy likes to hassle me by calling me Bendy Erwin. If you don't know who Steve Irwin is, he's the Aussie that had an animal show, who died when a stingray stabbed him in the chest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 That's BINDI :) My brother's best friend as a kid was a New Zealander with a cat named Bindi. Better than naming your kid Pyewacket I guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 hehe, Awesome. Maybe we can get a session going in like a week or 2. My board came in. Unfortunately, it's TOOOO low. hahaha I got rail bite and the bottom of the board hit the ground when I leaned it over. Even my 76mm aren't big enough, they're almost big enough, but when i'm really hauling on it I anticipate the board flexing a little bit along with the bushings. I had to order some 81mm wheels today... haha. Stupid me, that's what I get for wanting a DOUBLE drop. i should have just done drop-through only... ah well. this should DEFINITELY be the last longboard, haha. I say that with every purchase of everything. Erwin, is that at your special spots? Your buddy there got some crazy speed wobs... hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your buddy there got some crazy speed wobs... hehe I'm always available for a late night carve session or a middle of the day session whenever the surf is crap. This weekend, a good NW swell is in the forecast. The spot where my buddy had the slam is nothing special. It's in Mission Viejo, close to his house. If he didn't hit the curb, I think he would of had a good chance of riding it out. When he slammed, he had reached the flat run-out and would have slowed down pretty quickly. The best spot I know for carving, I already gave to you guys, but that place is only good for late night or maybe early morning because of the traffic.

I'm getting quite board with parking structures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you and your dad want to drive down to Mission Viejo next weekend, 11-14/15, then I could do the surf in morning, carve with the BOL'ers in the afternoon combo.

Bullwings Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I like the second hill in your video. I'm getting quite board with parking structures. Parking structures are nice, but can be kind of limited with what you do, especially the tighter ones, and the one that you and your dad go to is a little bit tighter. It's nice but, yeah, eventually you'll want a hill and/or a little bit of variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Albert, you're also on the invite list for Mission Viejo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Cool, Socal Skate Shop is located in MIssion Viejo. They have a really good selection of longboard and street skating stuff - much better than Active/Zoomies (poser shops filled with clothes). HOpefully my wheels will be in by then and I'll have my setup all dialed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullwings Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 More detail please. I might have to run it top mount. I was still getting a little bit of deck (rail?) bite with my 85mm speedvents when i really flexed my knees into it with a little bit more speed going. I have it setup topmount with my 72mm freerides. It doesn't feel like i'm gonna get deck bite now, but i'm too tired to try it out - probably tomorrow. Anyway, I have 90mm flywheels on the way. I'd really rather not run such a big wheel. I'm up in the air about it. I'll see how the topmount feels. If I like it, I might just return the flywheels and pay the shipping/restocking fee. They're like $78 or something for a set of wheels w/o bearings. After running 69mm, 72mm, 73mm, 75mm, 76mm, and 85mm, i've decided that I don't like going any larger than 76mm. 69mm is awesome, if the roads are good quality and there isn't debris all over the place. So, setup is Indy 215 with core baseplate up front wedged 5 degrees, Randal 180 with 35* baseplate in the rear. Using all venom eliminator bushings of different colors for both trucsk.

Arclite Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 so whats the plan sunday afternoon? mission viejo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm good to go for Mission Viejo on Sunday afternoon (11-15-09). Just tell me what time you prefer. I'll send an email with the location of the carve spot and we can meet there. My friend Mark, from the slam video will probably be traveling, so he won't be able to join us.

Bullwings Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 As of now, I should be good to go too. Let me know what's up. I can try some sliding too. I've been kind of hesitant to try it solo, just in case I eat it, there's no one to call for help.... haha I ate it solo last time before, that wasn't very fun.

I'm game for anytime after 1:00 pm. That will give me a chance to rest up if I surf in the morning. The entire area around Mission Viejo is hilly. I've only ridden a few of the hills in Mission Viejo. There are plenty of spots to be discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
