    Is that the long flat one? I have an old one with a Cadillac on the bottom. It has camber on the top and it spreads the wheels more evenly when you ride it. Freakin smooth, and at speed it does not chatter. I have had it over 30 mph with no wiggles. Enjoy!!!

    its slightly concave. . definitely long. though my next will be the 57" ed economy gravity bank board.. sweeeeeet i need to dig up my pads, im dying to take the 46 in a pool.. its been a while though. its so smooth at speed - really impressive. fantastic surfy feel to it as well. I was doing cutbacks on the park barefoot on it yesterday, it was phenomenal!

    snorkel, you ride over at prospect park in brooklyn yet? they've got a monster hill that's closed to traffic on the weekends. nice and long.

    i took my longboard down to the park in bay ridge a few times. so much fun. watch out for wheel bite though.
    fine

    Did you see the new sector nine on their site that has a skier hucking a cliff on the bottom. I have to refrain myself from getting it. Arg! That would make number three.

    i spent 4 hours in central park today bombing hills.. i met a bunch of other longboarders - it was sweet! i really want more speed though, i need bigger wheels and faster bearings.

    I played at Houston today.
    I'm slow with this damn knee.
    Still scared after the experience with your longboard.

    so dex, dont do what i did today on the longboard. we had a nice session going at the watchtower with a photographer and all.. beautiful shots looking back up at the brooklyn bridge (when i get at them ill post them).. the hill there is solid and i was on my big wheels and ceramic bearings just rocketing down it.. hit a rock, kicked into a nice slide.. hit another rock and the board stopped.. i did a nice superman digger going an easy 20 right on my chest. all in, fun day and we got some nice shots.. but i cant use my right hand right now.
