yeah I caught that aswell put me in bed for 2 days, so GLYDE is sending me another board to give away, this one is a secret prototype.

the race will be epic, looking for vollunteers, anyone that helps out will be looked after and will eb able to ride the hill. not everyone will be able to help out though.

also, is the glyde drop down symmetrical and is it a decent freerider?

you might be a little too young to help out man, but you should def come and watch, it'll get you stocked out watching four dude zoom past at high speeds.

the glyde is not symmetrical but its ok for free riding probs not for you as you are very light, I would look at things like the DADDOW platypus or something like that, but if you are looking for something inbetween free riding and DH look at the comet LOKI its a good board a little shorted then most DH boards so it might be better for you.

well I gotta go be rad laters

Race sounds like fun, been busy with other stuff and not much skate time lately. Unfortunately I'll have to miss the race cause I will be stuck on a boring 2 week snowboard trip in NZ :)

the drop has a small dewedge thing going on, it is a tank of a board, i've had mine for years, treated it like crap, ridden in the rain, crashed into heaps of stuff. it is one of the most stable and sturdy boards i've ridden.
