Taking a break.

2:11am, 33rd/Broadway/6th Ave.

Jon took this picture from the window of Reciprocal Skateshop.  Not sure what is says, but I love it.

New deck!  Earthwing Carbon Belly Racer, Randall 180s w/42 degree baseplates, Venom bushings, Daddies Boardshop Ceramic Bearings, and Orangatang Stimulus wheels brought over from my last deck—Bustin Maestro—which was killed by a hit-and-run taxi driver on 14th Street.

This is Paul, from France. He is traveling the globe with his Landyachtz Allstar Mini, that has just enough room underneath to mount a video camera. Guess what he’s doing in all major U.S. cities? If you guessed making a street-level video, you are correct. Guess what he did here in New York? If you guessed he made a street-level video riding through Times Square, you are correct.

I set Paul up with new pivot cups, bearings, and bushings, so he wouldn’t crash in every major U.S. city.  I will post some of his videos when I hear back from him.

His favorites are 77mm/82a, but really, any longboard wheel will do.

Earthwing decks now at Reciprocal, with more to come!

Colyn at Fort Tryon Park (a.k.a., Longboard Disneyland).

BEFORE:

Made my first pair of slide gloves back in March, when I first started learning how to slide.  $10 work gloves from Home Depot; $10 cutting board from Bed, Bath, & Beyond (made six pucks).
