banged up board

well had a great night out bombing some cargarages around Brisbane with some of the goldcoast crew .

everyone came off at some stage during the night LOL and of cosre the cops turned up just about everywhere but all in all it was a hoot.

managed to get my evo a bit banged up but hey it was worth it.

and glue is cheap :)

Glyde board .

 

  

This is my sons board 

930mm-230mm

bamboo and glass.

set up with R11 180s and 66mm 81a strikers

as my son is only around 30kgs the trucks are set for him to have some leverage 

and turning ability. 

new board for my son

well i just finished setting up a new board for my 7yr son , hes been watching me going down hills and really wanted to have a go.

He has a good tuck for his age and I hope he sticks with it.. anyway where of out this weekend for a roll .

here in Austraila

well holey moley its been a while , I hope everyone had a good christmas and survived the new yr festivities.

Now Im in Oz Im looking for a new cnc workshop to get the trucks rolling again.

I have a few sets available at $350.00 USD

man Im not so used to the heat here but lov`n the fact that you can go skate anytime all be it only for a short time before Im sweating like a little piggy LOL.

I can see why the Ozzy guys ride so well with all this smooth tarmac around and new suberbs to have fun in.

Im pleased to say the Jackson Shaperia (rayne) is hav`n fun on the kookytrucks and has discovered the 180s to be as stable and just as good as the 200s .

one of the Oz crew from Brisbane had a heavy impact crash while on the Kookys , thankfully he was ok,

he reported to me that the trucks after having a wheel pushed right up over the hanger had no damage. He said only the first thread of the axle had to be filed a little to replace with a new nut.

I think that was one of the best things Ive heard , both rider and trucks came out unscathed.

with the trucks being made from 7075 allu and having hardened steel axles Im sure this made the difference between busted gear or not.

Im looking forward to riding with the Ozzy guys and gaining new friends while learning from them at the same time .

hope all your roads a long and smooth

cheers  Paul
