Post #121
let people do what they want, man. For me use of entheogenic and otherwise substances is a fair part of my life, and so is longboarding, and so is writing. I can't write while I longboard, but I can use drugs while I'm doing either and it feels good. Not everyone's looking to get sponsored and you're just being really uptight imo

People can do whatever they want with their bodies.

Dude, sorry but this has to be the most ignorant statement I've read in awhile. You do realize that like pretty much every pro smokes weed? Adam Colton is good and all but he cannot touch 90% of the downhill scene. I know several people who go to legit races and have toked up with PSwiss, James Kelly, Loui, and more. Just because you don't do drugs doesn't mean you have to judge others. This thread is suppose to be about enjoying the sport and if some people think drugs will help amplify that experience than who are you to judge. Seriously take your bad vibes else where.
Also your Adam Colton comment really erks me. He is has so much fucking hype around him, so many better skaters out there.

And I just lost quite a bit for you.
How can finding how you enjoy a hobby best be ruining it?
-
if you skate to get sponsored than you have the completely wrong mindset about this sport.
-
If you consider it a more of a sport than a hobby, then you might have the wrong mindset.
-
this is where i lost respect for you.
-
I don't want to take the whole 'soul surfer' douchebag route, but I definitely board for the experience more than anything else
-
Well sure, i have countless friends who smoke weed, drink, and eat shrooms and what not, but they're my friends, i dont judge them, i just say dude, its really not that cool.
anyways i know im being alittle annoying but its not like i just expected to talk someone out of drugs in 3 sentences, im just saying dont be so proud of yourself for it, keep it to yourself you know?
-
The one time this thread isn't dead...
-
well a: you shouldn't be trying to talk someone out of relatively harmless drugs like psychadelics and weed. b: I'll keep my drug use to myself when other people keep their hobbies and interests to themselves, because it's exactly the same thing.
Edited:
and it isn't 'ruining the sport' you're just being immature and silly
-
also if you really suddenly have this massive change in what you think of me simply because I do drugs occasionally. As in smoke weed twice a month, psychedelics probably once every six months, and adderall like once a month than you really need to rethink your outlook on life. The fastest I've ever gone on drugs is 30mph, if you've ever skated with me than you know I don't play around when it comes to safety.
-
well it sure as hell isnt making it better,
fine. ill keep my god damn opinion to my self. i just have little respect for people who take drugs much less people to take drugs while longboarding and think its the shit
Yeah, i know you guys arent going to kill yourself smoking weed, its just kills brain cells like you wouldnt believe
-
I can understand where you are coming from, and I can understand the stigma behind drugs. This is literally the first time anyone in this thread has mentioned drugs. We can discuss it a little ya know? And I wasn't bragging or proud of myself, I was just sharing my experience with everyone else about how its a very pleasant experience to skate on ADHD medicine because you have unmatched focus.
-
oh god please leave now you don't even understand what you're arguing
weed doesn't destroy braincells do some real research for christsakes
-
I'm sorry man but you really need to stop reading government funded studies. Look at some third party shit.
-
Oh god the "brain cells" argument again...
Anyways, starting to really want to buy another board, but I don't have the cash for it and I need to save up for parts for my GTO resto.
-
Alright lets just stop arguing and go back to discussing this awesome sport. If you have bad vibes keep it to yourself.
If anyone plans on going to any DC events plan to skate against this kid, John is one hell of a tech slider.
-
no offense to them but third party pot heads arent any better
-
I feel you, all the new line ups are coming out and all I actually need is more wheels and bearings.
-
no but we mean shit actually done by neutral parties, you know where they do 'actual research' as crazy as all that is
just watch the union and stop shitting up the thread with your misinformed words please
-
1:01 is def my favorite 720 coleman pendy
-
I wish I could slide like that.
-
hands down 360s are some of the most beautiful slides in my opinion but I refuse to do them because I can do them standup.
-
It snowed the other day so my friends and i street skated alittle instead of longboarding, we went down my steep ass drive way tec sliding and i litterally did like a 30 ft coleman, wasnt exactly fast, but it was hilarious
also with my skateboard did a 3 ft gap (1 foot step up too), it was awesome (and for me thats really good)
-
stuff like that is why I want to make a tech slide setup, although when you start getting technical in it god does it take some serious control.
-
adam colton isn't that bad. clip of him doing some dh.
with the smoking weed and longboarding, most pro skaters smoke up, what do you think they do at skatehouse all the time ?
just got my toeside slide shuvs, tail whips and switch tailwhips yeeeeeew
-
I've had my cruising board for a while but I'm looking for something that can handle slides as well as still be relatively compact. Like 34-38"?
The rest of my kit is Abec 11 70's flashbacks, Randall 180 trucks (which are fabulous) And some secter 9 abec 9 bearings (stainless steel). I way about 55kg and height wise I am 170 cm.
Any help would be a lifesaver.

-snip- facepunch for android dosent work
-
greasehammer haha
im on a comet kick
Edited:
or really just a deck thats 36" should be perfect
-
Which wheels should I get?
Leaning toward the ABEC11's for the high-speed and high-speed slides
Leaning toward the Seismic Speed Vent's for the top speed.
-
Both will have a choppy slide from what I've heard. Whichever one you go with get the respective bearing with it, so if Abec 11 go blitin, if seismic get tektons. They are made specifically for the wheels they make.

LBS has flashbacks in stock again!!

What is the best way to clean and lube bearings?
Will boiling my white 3dm Avalons, which are tanned and darkened from use, make them white again?
-
acetone them bitches than throw some speed cream in them.
-
Will 91% isopropyl alcohol work?
-
i honestly have no idea, I rarely clean my bearings because by the time they need a cleaning they're already pretty bent out of shape. I just keep reupping on milehigh bearings every 3 months.

carbon fiber makes all the bitches want to be on your wood
-
i should try longboarding, I use to skateboard, but got board of it. Currently my only board sport is snowboarding, but I only get to go on vacations, cause I'm in Florida.
-
Florida is notoriously flat. What part are you in? I hope there are some parking garages around you.
-
You definitely should give it a try, but if you live in Florida, as Takkun said, you should try to find some hills.
Edited:
Can anyone tell me why my left-rear wheel bearings might make this sound? They're not over-tightened from what I can tell and they do not spin as smoothly as the rest.
