Beware: Thane-eating fungus!

http://www.yalealumnimagazine.com/issues/2011_11/findings_fungus.htmlScientists discover fungus that can consume polyurethane. Not something you want to get on your freerides... although probably only an issue if you're doing DH through the forests of South America (sorry McWhinnies).Pretty big deal for landfill problems if it turns out to have an appetite for other plastics. For now, throw all…See More

The Dave replied to Justin T's discussion 'Where to buy a skateboard?'
Fitz, this one seems legit. Trolling is generally easy to pick (groms aren't very subtle). Justin, skate shoes are skate shoes. They all work. My only advice is to get high tops so you don't smash your ankle on the edges of the board…

The Dave replied to Idz's discussion 'Downhill tuck to coleman'
I've been working on the same problem. Try dropping your back heel and rolling your foot forward onto the side of your sole. Get confortable railing corners like this and then getting back to tuck. It's the perfect stance for a coleman.

Alex: not a good suggestion. An internet order site is only going to be able to give you a vague idea of what might suit. NOTHING beats walking into a skate shop staffed by people who know their stuff. Justin: HOPKIN Go there now!

The Dave replied to Maxwell Fisher's discussion 'Favourite all round wheel?'
ABEC11 81a Grippins do everything for me exactly the way I need them to. Grip, slide, roll. So nice.   Other rad roll/grip/slide wheels: 80A 4pres and Cult Death Rays (according to everyone I know who rides them)   While this thread…

Just bumping this thread up to make people aware that (a) Hopkin are now stocking Classics and (b) anyone not riding Classics is basically just wasting their life...

The Dave replied to casey hallam's discussion 'what freeride wheels should i get'
Death Rays would be better. They slide and grip. Gammas are just made for traction.

The new shop is so damn rad. Congrats to the whole shop crew on the huge effort you put in getting it ready. It just blew me away. The only way I can imagine it being any better is if that verandah opened out onto, say, a long winding downhill…

You need to take me to this hill when I come down. D2 vs Belly (calibers, rays and broken legs all being equal) - it'll be on like Donkey Kong!

I live in Randwick but will ship for 5 bucks extra. Theres no flatspots though they have been shaved down 2-3mm. We have met at bombsquad so I can bring them there if you pop around again.

hey man, don't worry about it. no matter what i'll always be skating every day, wearing a helmet just means when i eat concrete, it wont be the last time.

I should charge. There must be a way for me to make money from my neurotic tendencies.

Sorry if I come across a bit obnoxious hahah

I'm considering doing material sciences at university, incidentally.

well good to hear that my sliding/crashing out into the dirt had good effect on your wheels!!

yeah bro, i rebroke my leg from just stepping off my board, but bone had healed and was stronger where the break was, my musels wernt fit yet and instead of swisting my ancle i got a torsel fracture up my tibia, completly fucked it huh, no pain but hey, id say if your getting back on the board make shore you can do everything but skate first, like jog jump run, hop ,balence and sprint, afterall skating should be eaisier and your body will be ready

when you think mega tsunami, think classic thane that slides a lot longer and only takes 1 slide to break in. You could possibly say that they are AMAZING.

p.s Are you done re-growing your bones?
