there he is, lovin the graphic my man...........hells yeah I love bombing hills. I bombed a road on soledad mt in SD that was fun. When I was at UMCP I used to bomb campus drive on my way home from class. One time........i was straight up rollin, I was coming up on the gates and trees to the entrance to route 1 where the bagel place is................the traffic was gridlock my light was green and I was inbetween brick walls now going 20-30 mph with trees blocking my view of the light, boom yellow, RED Embarassed

I think no one really saw me comin. Anyway the green arrows came up on both sides and as these cars made their left turns, somehow someone was watching over me. I weaved right in between them and across the intersection as a brother sitting in his car as i blew by him said something like.................hell yeah bro. As i flew down the backstreet Glory rang in my head and heart for hours.......nnaa. it's still ringing Twisted Evil

All we got in Florida is parking garages. Haha, so fun though. Unless you live in Tally or Clermont, they got some hills.

I did it one time, at Zak Stone's place in Salem Or. it was so much fun. his neighborhood has lots of hills... a couple times I had speed wobbles and almost ate sh*t Shocked

we had to be going 25-30mph or maybe it just felt that fast Laughing

i have a 4' flex deck that I've been rollin strong for like 5 years now, this thing is epic. i hope to have her always

high speed woobles.. on a normal skate deck blows.. i'm sure on the longboard MUCH worse.
Raven, a buddy of mine in bham has flex i do believe.. sits in the garage Sad

i'm considering buying a helment.... which sounds whack... but i'd be nice to eat it, and not worry about not being able to communicate w/ my 3yr old... it's weird like that now... i just refurbed my old honda xr200r and i actually think about wrecking 100% because of my little girl... i don't know whether to think Shocked

or

warlock, you might want to get elbow pads, kneepads and some kind of gloves too. it might sound silly, but falling off a skateboard at 25mph onto asphalt cant be too much fun Laughing

Raven HELL YEA BRO!

my friend made a longboard. thing was sick. so fun and the wheels/bearing somehow had like a "max" speed so you never got wobbles. you just maxed out. it was awesome. so fun. like snowboarding on hill'd pavement

Hell ya man, bombing hills is the way to go, SC9s rock, we have a few small hills by UCF and a lot of parking garages, and a few scattered concrete hips, not to mention the bowl at oviedo rocks, ive been contemplating setting up a collaboration to bomb university since it's pretty much a perfect hill, except of course for the non stop traffic, but i figured with some "borrowed" road block signs, and a few vehicles slowing traffic it could be done. maybe throw in some traffic cones, should be interesting.
