I told you Pup Pfffff

Did you go for a roll Vanders

Awesome boards hey,poor old Chrispy missed out

Yeah got home tightened up the trucks a little & took her for a run, sweet ride, stable & just keeps rolling, then I decided to put in a turn & did a chrispy (wheel bite) & shot me over the front. Got back on & just kept the turns subtle until we can put the thicker risers on & stiffen up the bushes.

You'll love it champion!!!

Nice boards lads, but a tad short..... You really need at least 60 inches for a good cruiser.......

Not finished yet, but has Original S10 trucks with 75 mm or 97 mm wheels. Taking orders, one month turn around and just a little cheaper than a new McT

Jarrah with an American white Oak stringer.

MR I'd love to have the patience to have a crack at making one myself but it just ain't going to happen so these LBL Da'Glide's were the longest we could find in an obtainable board.

Hats off to ya mate, you're spitting out some cool looking boards, keep em coming.

Not that hard to make Vanders, but if you want something really big, google Hamboards. 6'8" x 15". At $800 I decided I could make it, and get a shape I liked, but the Hamboards are a good thing.

Thanks Pup, yep it does help with your stepping. And your pop ups too! Good for practicing coming up goofy

Stiff bushings are your friend with longboards. If you dont have them things get very sketchy in a hurry. Once you get upto speed the stiff bushings come alive.

Choice words McHenry, took my wheels out for the second ride yesterday and found a hill. Got a bit of speed wobble up, crouched down a bit more and held on. Maybe it is set up fro a 40kg lightweight, rather the 95kg's it was carrying
