So... I bought a(nother) longboard today, making it my second. It's a Sector 9 Bomb H2 (linky (http://www.dougsports.com/detailsdetails.php?i=12160)), bought it used. It has some trucks that I can't remember the name, Sector 9 78A wheels with Bones Reds bearings, and some 1in spacers. It's nice and smooooooooth.

My other longboard I made myself out of 10 ply poplar plywood. It's got Independent trucks and no wheels atm. It's also a flaming piece of ****. ;)

Aaaand I have a bike, too. A Giant Rythm. I have no idea how many times I've taken it to the bike shop to get it fixed. :D



So yeah, what are your non-motorized/engine-powered rides?

I rock a Sector 9 9-ball, platinum edition with bones reds and regular 9-ball wheels, but Randal R2 180 trucks instead of the stock trucks. ;)

Those are the ones that say "180" on them, right?

If so, then I've got 'em too ;)

I love sector 9's website. It's really cool. They changed it, I kinda liked their old layout better. But it's still cool.

I have a board like Airbozo's. Black Label deck, Grind King trucks, Black Panther bearings, blank wheels from an old board, and Black Magic grip tape.

I have a bike too. Specialized Hardrock Sport.

And I had a pair of Razor Cult 3 skates until I outgrew them.


Edit: And not really a ride, but I have a Ride snowboard (so I guess it is a Ride.. heh).

anybody have suggestions for flexible paints? I wanna fill in the scratches in the underside of my S9 board and paint on my own custom design, so I'll need wood filler and paint that can flex and not chip off. I only really need black and red paint, maybe white. Also, flexible clearcoat, and if anybody knows good, flexible fillers (that are sandable), let me know. I'm thinking Fiberglass.

Thanks,
Omega

The board in the middle is the reason for the shred geezer tag. I borrowed it from a guy that runs a ride share to the mountains website. He said anyone over 35 that boards is a shred geezer. To think I used to yell at the snow boarders when I was skiing in Colorado growing up. Hehe Now I are one...

The board on the left is hand made. I made it back in '85 on a press in a skate shop in downtown Denver. That was my speed board and until recently had a crap load of plastic nose guards and rails on it ( ever seen a skate explode on impact into a concrete wall?).

The toy on the right almost got me thrown out of a couple of supercomputer and SIGGRAPH conferences, except I was a sponsor.


Original Bones on the left, re-issue on the right...

I modded mine and now they need a Firmware update so they're not much good for normal walking over long periods of time. But hey, they've got 120mm fans and superbright LED's! =D

"Can't touch this!"


I also have a $30 dollar skateboard from a local chain of sports stores. I'm a beginner, so cheap is good enough for me. Cool thing is, the deck has a picture of the King from a deck of cards. I thought it was cool. Sorry, no pic...I don't have one of those new-fangled Digital cameras...:dead:

You any good at unicycling? It's pretty cool as an 'extreme' sport like for stunts and stuff - but as a method of transport?.... hmm...

I'm decent. I can do the usual street tricks... unispins, jump mounts, one legged pedaling, pirouettes, 360's, rolling jumps, a little bit of wheelwalking and grinding, etc. I also go downhill unicycling on mountain bike courses and hop on rocks and stuff.

LOL, my girlfriend and friends were creeped out when i came up with the body window idea... I thought it would be cool to show off some organs maybe some LED's... but i guess not.

As for my ride... all i got is my feet and eventually my parents Nissan Sentra should be coming my way.

That would be cool. Too bad there is no real way to install a window.

Okay Johnny, did you eat junk food again? No I didn't daddy! Okay, lemme look through the window to your stomach... Aha! You did eat junk food, no TV for a week.

Ehh... maybe that's a little overkill, lol.
