Rep Power: 4060 | skate or longboarding? I know we have more than just a few Wter's that physically cannot skate or longboard. I was wondering how many skaters are on here though? skate boards, pocket boards or longboards? i've got 2 Arbor longboards. I've got the 44.25" Waterman (super flexable, super nice for pretty much everything) and the 43" Fleetwood. The Fleetwood is super rigid, a real nice sturdy tuck and lock style of riding. I've also got a nice 48" board that was homemade probably 20 or 30 years ago. Only got one set of trucks, wheels and bearings for the time. I'll get more once i start making my own boards. anybody else? what you ride? |

Rep Power: 13 | Re: skate or longboarding? 34 in sector 9 for cruising. I also used to trick board so i have a mass of skate decks. I've cut a few down and added risers and 70mm soft wheels to them, I like them for cruising around campus. |

9's are sick and all, but once i walked into the arbor shop, 9's look a little cheap now. theres arbor boards for pretty much all riding styles. the 2 exceptions i've noticed is they dont have drop downs or drop throughs. billabong owns everything | |

early_mornin- bombing hills is a lot like snowboarding, just its a little harder to slide through your carves (unless you got a flowboard). i'm working right now on putting together a longboard company. so much better skating your own board than something you buy. | |

![]() i feel the same way about sliding on asphalt. one thing thats comfy on snow... not so much on the street this is a flowboard ![]() 14 wheels on an arced truck. They all face the same way I haven't played with it much yet. but you don't slide, you carve. I'm much more of a snowboarder than a skater | |
