anybody on here ride/use a longboard please?went into a shop today for a few tshirts and they had loads for sale,look good fun?

Yep, got an osprey, great fun on a long smooth prom.

Here’s mine

Absolutely great fun, can be really fast.

My son – loves it

Not yet I long for one of these
Just where do you guys ride them ?

psychobiker that looks awesome,can you post the other side of the board,is that how you bought it?were did you buy it and how much was it? thanks dude 😀

Got one in the shed but not ridden it for years. Plymouth hoe was a great spot for messing around.

I ride mine down on eastbourne prom, miles of smoothness.

I used to. Broke my scaphoid, scraped the skin off my face down to bone, “slightly” broke my jaw (no idea how that works was too hazy to remember to look at the Xray!) concussion for 4 days.

kinda gave up after that!

Home made mate, dead easy laminated walnut and maple, how about a front view

As the others have said great fun on miles of smooth paths.

@ Meehaja – ouch, scaphoid fracture here too, got a screw in mine so I just cruise, with a wrist guard, don’t fancy going through surgery again.

Edit: my fractured scaphoid was from mtb though.

looks like cruising is a sound bet then 😐

Nice board there matey so how much was the trucks n wheels

Oh yeah. Severe concussion and unable to balance for about three weeks.

Tarmac bites…

HOW MUCH can you build me a board for please?

Mindless boards are nice.

ok i fancy getting a nice one to ride to work and just cruise about on

The trucks and wheels were from the States, think I paid £70 ish.

Trucks are seismics, and the wheels are retro 70’s

Was you given a template for the length and shape of the board
Wicked mate nice one

You’ll get a nice osprey for £60, or a big foot

rewski

That don’t look good to me

No all made up from my own little mind.

Lovely looking board,how long did it take to make ?

Thanks for the comments, this wasnt about my board but boards in general.

Took a couple of days to make, machine the strips, glue together, thickness, shape spray,

Here’s a piccy of that task.

A plank of plywood would work just as well.

How much can you do me a board for please ?

I used to ride an electric longboard, could get up to 30mph on that bad boy. Silent, only needed charging up twice a week and would commute 5 miles daily on it. Now that’s what I call a fun longboard!!

I bought a Mindless a few months ago as part of my mid life crisis. After spending a few hours of me trying to stay upright on it my daughter Becky the Nutter (age 9) had a go, jumped on, and rolled off all casual like. So I bought her one too. They are great fun and if you can keep your hands in your pockets whilst riding you may even look cool.

Fell off mine (going too fast to stop) and bust a rib 2 months ago. Kinda didn’t help with the cycling that.

SORRY to hear that genghispod hope you get a fast recovery soon,post a photo of your board dude 🙂

I keep getting the urge to get another skateboard. I stopped skating when I was 19 but occasionally see the owner of the local skate shop pootling around town on his and I forget how good a method of city transport it is if you live somewhere mostly flat.

GO GET ONE,your only this way once ,a friend of mine lost his life weds only 25,lifes to short so GO GET ONE.im trying to see whats for sale so i donot waste my money,but i shall buy one for sure 🙂

I have one… If you’re going to ride it properly (like what I do) you will need grip tape… if you’re going to ponce about then you won’t need any.

I ride a foundation super co.

I had a foundation deck back in the late 80s. Well, for about a week before I went on one of my mad swapping sprees which finished up with a g&s florian bohm which I sold about 2 months later.

I’ve a 10.6 and a 9.5 paddleboard..

Muchos funnos and catcheee more waves.

NICE 🙂

any of you guys on a good skate forum?

Sorry Sam69 but I haven’t figured out how to post pictures yet. Mine’s a standard Mindless Corsair though, and my daughter has a Mindless Raider to which I have fitted Venom conical soft (70D) bushes so she can turn it with her smaller weight. Went from “I can’t do this, this is crap” to “Dad this is brilliant” overnight!

genghispod no probs post your photos asap ,how much was it?is this your first longboard?

😀 anybody else
