  1. I'd enjoy writing a paragraph or two about the board, but I'd enjoy more just sending you a link to all the questions you need..... answered. :D

    Oh and sorry man, I've never even heard of tailbones. :/ What are they for? To not have your tail not get razor-tailed?

    Thanks for that link. :thumbsup:

    Yeah, a tailbone just protects the tail of your board. I use my tail to stop 90% of the time and it's totally shredded. I'll need a tailbone for my new board(s).

    Maybe you should learn to stop without giving your board razor tail :whistle:

    Yeah, weather has been shit around here too.

    I would if I could do power slides, but the board I have now doesn't have the best wheels for it...plus my balance isn't perfect.

    I've just been skateboarding in my basement because the weather is shit. I can't wait until it gets nicer out. I'd be happy with 45 degree weather at this point.

    I'm still trying to pick between an Alien Workshop board or Rodney Mullen's "Uber light" Almost board. The Almost board dropped from being $110 to $70...so I might get that.

    Does anyone here have any kind of experience with putting skateboards together? If so, how hard is it to do? I'd assume it's not that difficult, but any kind tips would be great.

    EDIT:

    IDEA!!! For those of us that skate, we should post pictures of some skate spots that we go to. I guess non-skaters could post some pictures too if you find a spot with a potential line. I'll probably get to this when the weather gets a little nicer...although I do have some videos that I haven't put together yet...hmmm <_<

    Powersliding isn't a great way to stop, you'll just flat spot your wheels. A better way to stop is to let the heel of your back foot hang off your tail, and use that to slow you down so you don't get razor tail. I prefer to slide one foot on the ground until I slow down enough, but that's just me.

    Grip your board, put bearings in your wheels, screw the wheels to your trucks, bolt the trucks to your board. There's not much to it. :cheers:

  3. Bailey's is fucking sexy as fuck too.

    I don't like it, myself.

    I love Smirnoff malt drinks and Smirnoff vodka. I hate beer, but love hard liquors. Vodka, bourbon, etc. Not big on regular whiskey, though. Never had Jager, but I have had a ghetto Jagerbomb((had neither Jager nor Red Bull in it)).

    I picked up Smirnoff Raspberry vodka as a replacement for Bacardi Razz (yeah I know Razz is rum), wasn't bad. I'm not a fan of vodka though. I've never tried Jagerbombs either.

    Oh and when my objective is to get wasted I go for Jameson on the rocks. Fuck Jack Daniels!

  4. People jumping on the bandwagon saying, "OBAMA ROCKS!" when they don't even know his politics.

    That annoys me too. Most college students around where I live voted for him because "It's time for the black man to be in office." No interest in his political views.

  5. Even if you dont drive crazy, you cant take a turn without sliding unless you are decelerating, lowering your turning radius.

    Its stupid.

    But the little drift mode it puts you in is a little fun when you get it right.

    Well I meant I'm a bit crazy behind the wheel in real life. So I really think the handling in IV is way off.

  6. This topic is for those of us that got completely owned by UPS, Fedex, or DHL.

    I pre-ordered GTAIV last April from EBgames, using UPS's 2nd day air service. They shipped to my home town of West Chester yesterday and arrived this morning. The tracking number says it's out for delivery, but because I ordered 2nd day, they're holding it until tomorrow.

    "Your package is on time with a scheduled delivery date of 04/30/2008. "

    I can't even intercept the package because it's actually on a truck driving around town. What the fuck?

    Yes it's only one more day I'll have to wait, but this is GTA we're talking about.

  7. Power dusted the vents on my 360, I will have a fan blowing on it with the room temp lowered to 66 (lulz), charging controller, stocking mini fridge red bull, blue moon (mmmm), and some water bottles to keep me hydrated. Tons of junk food, too. Brought out a comfy chair.

    Oh, and lube. BOTTLES AND BOTTLES of lube.

  8. Are vehicles powered by gas? I'm hoping they are, but I haven't found any mention of this. Although it would get annoying running out of gas being chased by cops in a stolen car, I'm getting sick of driving vehicles running on cold fusion. :bleh:
