not me. you think i would just sitting for 6 weeks. but i don’t work like that. anyways. no, whats getting fat are our skateboards! and its not subtle. even i put on some .10th of an inch.
i don’t know a single person who hasn’t gone up a size in skateboards decks. when i started the year, it seemed like most people i knew skated on 7.6″ wide skateboard decks. 7.6s were pluntifull and we were all happy. now. not even a year later. most companies are only releasing maybe one 7.6 model, and many 8 + inch decks. and people seem to be loving it. what happened? feb.. 7.6s and skinny low trucks. now. 8″ and wide hi trucks. skate videos don’t seem to be any different, though most videos have been shot over the last couple years. not this summer. so whats happened? why is this happening? i know i was more “comfortable” moving up to the 7.75″. and i get that from other people on the 8″. but, i don’t really know. why did you change deck size. and don’t be telling me. “oh, i always have ridden 8″s”..
heres something old. but whatever. this guy has to use crutches all the time. but he can still flow like a master.. and front side wall ride on crutches is pretty much 100% boss.
praveen & andtrevor from Percussion Lab drop slow disco, dubstep, hip hop, indie and more.
cheap drinks, pinball…
and free swag from music related. firs 10 people to ask the DJ for “free swag” gets it!
excuses. i know, who needs them? they are 100% bullshit. so here i am. it’s been raining almost non-stop here in the NYC area. and i messed up my toe. so not only is it a wash. it hurnts when i skate. there are no indoor skateparks in NYC. under expressways are our parks. anyways. i could have just filled this up with post from other blogs? would that work for people? i dunno. so much good stuff already. i guess i can atleast post some links.. lets do that.
and don’t forget to support your local skate company, and shops no matter where you are this weekend.
someone near you is making great quality skateboards. skate those.
what do you guys think of the boards with carbon fiber inlays? element has their push series. but they go for like 80$ or something. alien workshop just (?) came out with their moonpop series. also with top layer carbon inlays. anyone tried one of these? are they pop-tasitic? or pure voodoo? maybe element, or alien workshop would hook me up with one to review? hmmm? element? AWS?
well i have to go work this week. going to work for me is like entering a black hole. i never know what to expect, and its always crazier then i think its going to be. because i can’t comprehend it yet.
so updates will probably be pretty crap this week. like they were this weekend. but, did anyone even using the internet this weekend?
i have been wondering though. as i ask people about skateboard deck sizes. only 1 person i have met, rides an 8″ or bigger deck. yet when i go to a skate shop. it seems like at least half of the decks are 8″ or bigger. am i missing something here?
i mean, yeah, more space for graphics? but 8″& 8″ pluses are just tanks! 7.7x seems to be popular, also 7.6x. but its still like 3 to 1 on the 7.6, though 7.6 riders seem to be the most passionate about skateboarding. im sure this all means something, but right now, my brain can’t do the math.
another math problem. i am hopefully about to receive 100 skateboard decks. umm.. where the fuck am i gonna put these things? anyone have any neat deck storage ideas!!?? im desperate!
