boomya! hell yes.

Just got myself a 36 inch SantaCruz longboard and plan to use the fuck out of it. just wondering if any other RIUer's ride out there.. im pretty noob right now though.. im dope on a regular skate but this is completely different than short deck skateboarding lol hoping to possibly learn some shit here.

And some bigger hills now..

And i also just made today some of these

slide gloves which only cost me $9 to make (i had everything but the cutting board). i'll post on whether on or not the slide pucks actually stay on long..

so yeeahh werd. peace out.

Love longboarding! Boards and wheels are exspensive around here now, $300 for deck and $45 for wheels, not including bearings.

nice, skunkpunk13. looks dope.

my board has a flat tail w/ a kick, its a little shorter and the nose come to more of a point.. but yeah im lovin' the shit out of it.

ALSO, after a couple sessions the slide gloves had withstood my weight.. 150 or so pounds.. haven't hit very high speeds yet but i would think that you dont usually want to slide at high ass speeds on your hands lol theres the danger aspect but you would wear through the plastic on the gloves pretty quick.. which is lame..
