Had the Flexi-Flyer with brake springs removed of course.
I guess that would qualify as a Longboard.
LA Hills was perfect.
Los Altos, that is.
Swimmijn Pools, Movie Stars.
May as well just jump off a building head first.

oh sh#t, Bones Brigade as in Powell and Peralta. doh
Those were THEE decks to own in the 80s. Wish I could actually skate. Those full pipes near Grapevine I hear were the sh#t.

wondering if i really hit 30 last night or if the garmin hiccuped.
had a good mellow skate tonight, hit that same hill with less agression but at the same time tucked pretty much from that same spot and only recorded 23mph.
oh well, good fun anyway!

Back in the day, even before Tony Alva was blasting aerials out of pools, I had a knee-board for speed runs. 3/4" CDX plywood, lotsa foam padding, and goddamn those stupid steel Chicago trucks we had to use back then.
A local guy would drive alongside (not behind, right?) and I'd get something like 35 mph. Not that impressive, but the setup was very stable and easy to control, even for a 14-year old.
To stop?
The sideways slide on the kneeboard was so stable, I could take out all the flower beds after drifting twenty feet across the lawn.

My 2000 Limited Edition (wood reproduction) 91.5cm Quicksilver w/ Pivot 9" trucks and Sector 9 hubbed 80mm wheels (ceramic bearings).
I'm almost 44, and while my speed days are far behind me, it sure is nice to have a carving machine around for the pavement.
