Longboard Porn Thread 2010

[Arclite]

I figured since there is a snowboard porn thread, why not make a longboard porn thread?

Just a few of my custom homemade boards.

Vanguard, Tunnel, Summerstick, Theo's Asym.

Not really porn, at least in my eye's, but these are the boards I ride the most....I am planning on picking up a Baby Toe Cutter from the Soda Factory the end of next month, set up with Indy 215's and Lime Freeries of course

Nice fullbag slalom board. What rear truck is that? Airflow?

I just cut some wheel cut outs on my subsonic century. I got a prototype that only had wheel wells. Final version had cut outs.

I'll need to pick up some Lime freerides as well.

Bullwings, no pictures?
Dont you have a few boards you wanna show off?

[Bullwings]

Yeah, I have three, but I'm lazy as all hell to bust out the camera and take a picture of them.

Give me a few days. It might happen.

Airflow? patoey That is a 90mm Splitfire spaced to about 101m front is a Geezerized Indy 101 cut to 90mm and spaced to about 94mm

Lime Freerides are IMO the best all round longboard on the market these days

[Bullwings]

Ooooh, Splitfire. Awesomeness. They don't make those anymore. It's pretty tough to get a hold of those. I was trying to get one last year. They were relatively affordable for a precision truck.

I know a lot of people hate them, but I've been using a seismic stable turn (30 degree) truck for my rear traction truck. The quick turn (45 degree) up front sucks for pumping, but I was satisfied with the the rear traction truck once I got the right wedging and springs dialed in. It's better than an RTS that's for sure.

Hey Arclite, that's MY "Vampire" BS, right there! Your dad thought that I should have it to match my favorite snowboard... Thanks Andrea!

I finally got off of my lazy ass and did something. Tried a little bit of boarding in the driveway - can't say the leg feels comfortable trying it out yet. I'll give it a little bit more therapy and time. Anyway, here's some p0rn.

I converted my grandpa's bedroom into my personal skateboard/snowboard room ever since he moved back to the Philippines.

Boards from left to right: Axe 2.5, Subsonic Century 38 (wheel cut outs done by my ghetto self with just a hand saw - no power tools here...), Loaded Vanguard, Landyachtz Mummy

Bunch of random trucks, wheels, and so on sitting around everywhere. Only the Century and the Mummy get used. The Axe is a basic slalom deck, but I just couldn't get used to it and pump it all that well. It's too stiff and i just couldn't get the feel for it. The Loaded doesn't get used that much either - I prefer the Mummy for general carving. I like the rocker, width, flex, and nimbleness of the board better. That's not to say that the Vanguard isn't good - it was my first board, but I've since grown to like the Century and Mummy better.
