Longboarding
On 1/27/2007 Dan wrote in from United States  (69.182.nnn.nnn)

45 and living in Connecticut. Skater since 1975. Still have every board I ever bought or permantly borrowed and they are hanging in my den. I am searching for some old schoolers in the Hartford area to longboard with on the weekends. Is there anyone out there? Downtown Hartford is utterly vacant on the weekends (especially in the early mornings). Nothing too extreme, but feel the need to just roll around with those who experienced the 70's. Let's ride!

Thanks Adam. I'm sure you've heard this podcast by now. It's an hour long and it could use some editing(I should talk :P ) Anyways, have a listen and fast forward through all the concrete wave stuff :P

Malakia said he'd work for ncdsa in a heartbeat if he didn't have to quit his SF job . Yes .... i'm joking but nevertheless the industry is getting a breath of fresh air from somewhere.

Can you feel it brother?

could it be sector 9?

i have a feeling it's the same as it ever was. the skaters will always speak louder than the mfg's in the long run. and mix and match equipment will keep the market honest and hopefully not so unservice oriented.

I think it's a season to turn turn turn and join forces ... cuz itz all good?

i'm forever a ncdsa fan and I appreciate all you've done . be nice to get you in these podcasts too.... Y0! if i can stomach howie stern, i'm sure i could live to hear the voices of our industry here and there thru skateboard media broadcasts where the text comes alive and we hear the personalities in full force :) e.g. Brooks! bRILLIAnt!

Cheers mate

Well I guess that makes me a "Master" So when are all races going to offer a Masters division for old, fat, bald, broken guys. I would RULE!!! unless some of the talented Kats out there that are really good and my age or older show up. Pray for sun and temps above Freezing, haven't skated in WEEKS here in Denver!

Skates on Haight
On 1/4/2007 black vane the pyrate wrote in from United States  (24.5.nnn.nnn)

THIS IS THE WORST SKATEBOARD SHOP IN THE WORLD!!!!

I went in with the intensions of buying a long board and a pool board for me, and a two street board for my kids...
Probably dropping about $1000.

I have NEVER been so insulted. The owner Carol who knows nothing or I think it was her son based on the jackass attitude possessed are idiots. They are VERY over priced on everything.

They offer absolute no returns even if you are buying pads for a present. If you ask a question it is met with a scowl or as if you are bothering them. Heck they made my 10 year old cry they were so mean.

This place SUCKS! The other reviews must have been paid for cause this is nothing like I experienced.

GO TO PURPLE SKUNK and be happy
