The skate: between Pacific Beach's Crystal Pier and the S. Mission Jetty
the far left arrows represent part of the trip. but as you can see, there's lots of sidewalk terrain here to cruise at high-speeds.
All you gotsa do is gimme an email and we can hook-up just north of the crystal pier at . but you better be in good shape! cuz we kick it! ALL THE WAY!

Hasko, check these out!

I've been on a few even romped one thru my G.S. course at the Last Gathering. They'll ROLL, but they're definately set-up to turn as well. Great plank-walking toys, IMHO.
If the home addy above dosden't get results, try this copy/paste addy.

I hope this work for ya. If not check out LongboardLarry's stuff. He's got 2-3 60" types, and one a little bit shorter, but does 'custom' decks too.
BTW, I snowboard often on Rad-Air Tankers, which are pretty long-ish. My 'short' one is a 167cm, then I've got a 172, a 182, and a 200cm. Almost 6 ft. of deck definately makes the hill go by quicker! Longboards rule!!

Hey Mike good luck in San Fran. What part of Ohio are you from? I'm in Columbus. I've been longboarding for 6 years. I just got back from living in San Diego for 2 months. I moved out there to skate and I always dreamed of that sort of lifestyle...but I came to discover that it wasn't for me. And its crazy expensive there. So whats your reason for moving there?

I am moving to san francisco july 17th! I pretty sure I'm the only longboarder in northwest Ohio,Or at least feel like it. I will have a longboard when I arrive (new longboard larry 48" kicker) I love larrys boards they have that quality feel. I'm 21 years old and could teach you some longboard tricks. I love longboarding I believe its an addiction. I am going to move to the mission district and if you want to cruise email me. I am easy to get along with also love music Radiohead Flaming lips Modest Mouse Beastie Boys and Beck are just a few of my favs maybe that will help you. Wow I used I a lot in this paragraph. kellerkroger@hotmail.com

is that the pintail that measures something like 46x9? it would be hard to say, what kind of sliding are you talking about? for sliding i usually go with something smaller with really hard wheels.

i agree grippins would be excellent, however it depends on how much you want to slide. i slide my manx 69mm 80a wheels alot, i have also never found a wheel that i cannot slide. i guess what im trying to say is that any wheel can slide. perhaps you should look at the abec 11 strikers, they look like they have a good combination between grip and sliding.
also on the subject of trucks, i now ride the 4.3"bennets, and can turn/drift/slide a 180* cutback easliy within 4 feet or less now, took some practise but now i have it wired, i would definatly recconmend them.

Wheels for Cloud Rider

I ride both a S9 Bomb Hills and a Landyachtz EVO and I've experimented with all kinds of wheels. The best for taming rough asphalt, controlled carving at speed and for the occasional slide are Abec11 Gumballs. IMO, you will not find a better wheel.

hey, i do alot of riding (i commute on wood) and i'm looking for good wheels that will let me control my carve, but will give out and let me slide at a certain point, too. If anyone has any good suggestions, just know i like bigger wheels (seattle's roads are like minefields at some intersections) and ride pintails (sector 9 bamboo and landyachtz Haida chief).

i think you guys should try sidewinders if you waant the same feeling of ripping water. its same man i promise. on sidewinder trucks, i can do 90 degree turns. takes some practice, but once you get used to it, youll be carving like nothing.

yes i agree with todd, carvers are sick, rode them everyday one summer for like 2 hrs and my surfing improved out of sight. they are better than carve boards because you can still walk up amd down the board. get some, the feeling of riding them cannot be described, they have to be ridden.
this forum is soooo dead i can see tumbleweeds blowing across my screen.
what are people sidewalk surfing on these days???post pics

my friend has the first gen dingy and that thing is a great carver especially if you buy it complete with those tiny trucks. the one your probably looking at is the second version with concave and a kick tail my friend has the O.G. flat one, but the kick tail makes it more versitile and the concave is kind of pointless because its so small well email me and let me know what you think
