I only met Brad three times. But there's this; Every time I got to sk8 with him, I came away Amazed at his Style, Skills, and his Exuberance! He is gone, far, far too soon, but his generosity, Spirit, and luckily a few videos, will be remembered. We lost a Giant here...

Silverfish's own user Uluwatu set up this site as a 40-and-up "old guy" haven: http://gnarwheels.proboards.com
And a few of us are migrating over to http://www.skaterscafe.com/forum.php
It truly is the end of an era today when Silverfish goes dark. Thank you, NCDSA, for paving the way for online skateboard communities. As our society becomes more and more ADD and one-hit-wonder oriented, I can't help but lament the loss of all the skateboard forums I've seen come and go...and yet, NCDSA remains as a beacon.

Word on the wire is that Silverfish is on its last legs, and is likely to be shut down any day now. Does anyone know of a way to extract information and save some threads for offline use?

Sarah, That's a very rare board, designed with hill-cruising in mind! Without knowing your truck/riser/bushing/wheel combo, it's hard to judge what could be, or would need to be, changed. If you cruise hills, pump your turns, and like moderate to high speeds, it'll work. The only 'iffy' thing here is possibly your weight, as men often out-power or out-weight women, so the steering may seem a bit unresponsive (try softer bushings, then!).
Do you have Roadie Racers on it? What color (hardness changes with color on those)? What Trucks (Indy's, Trackers, Randals would be likely, all a bit different in handling)? And, how long is it? Toss back some info, and I can try tweaking it remotely, hopefully enough to help!

Hey fellow longboarders, I'm about to be longboarding across America from Wilmington, NC to San Francisco, CA to raise money for 3 charities. I'm leaving on May 14, 2012 but I need help getting more support. Please check out my website www.longboardingUSA.com and like my page on Facebook. This will help so much just by getting the word out.

Atlanta Longboard Club pushes for Board Rescue
Skateboarders join together to push 20 miles for fun and to benefit Board Rescue
PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2009)
In the current economic state it has become more difficult to raise money for non-profits. Board Rescue is pleased to have the Atlanta Long Board Club volunteering to donate 100% of the proceeds from its annual Silver Comet Charity Push, a 20-mile push through Atlanta scheduled for August 1.
Regarding the proceeds; Chad Hall from Atlanta Longboard Club said "Get some little kids on some longboards
man! Whatever you get them on, I know they will see alot of happiness from it."
Having organization like ALC commit to support Board Rescue's mission is crucial to our success, "We would like to thank all the riders that are heading out to this event and making a donation to Board Rescue, have a safe and fun ride" said Gary Holl President of Board Rescue.
For more on the event go to:

Hello all, I haven't posted in a long time, busy with the usual geezer stuff. I finally got back to the inclines near Palo Alto for the first time since the 70s. Check out the cruising clip on YouTube, keywords Stanford Longboarding. Fortunate to ride with some of the local ladies.
