Q&A: Chris Yandall on Skogging (417 Posts) Topic Entry Mom Gone On On 5/19/2009 Chris Yandall wrote in from United States  (66.91.nnn.nnn) Appreciate the condolences :) It was her time. Like all of us,, we have a date with the life givers to return to the universe soup for further preparation. And this event above any other event in my life has given me more motivation to waste less time ! Like a bat out of hell, I seek an angelic form to grab on their coat tails to catch a glimpse of the true purpose and meaning of what the real big picture is.

Just get out there and crooz feeling the lean forward movement and the simplicity of function for a good tranportation and exercise deck. Thanks for picking up a deck up and spreading the skog and switch in your hood. you'll be able to race faster and blast higher airs now and best of all "stay in shape" :) that's my objective with these boards is to pack an exercise gym of movement into the skog! for some sample set ups.

I set it up with Tracker 149 Racetracks, 78a red Retro Zig Zag 66mm wheels, and Bones Reds bearings. I haven't ridden it yet since it's really cold here in West Virginia (0 degrees tonight) . I stood on it and it seems to feel fine. This deck is really nice since it's flat, wide, and has a long wheelbase. I have a 10 mile running path I'm going to try it out on as soon as it warms up. Thumbs up to Chris on this deck and for Sk8kings for offering this deck for sale. Marc     Rate post 314016 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) BBQ.....RaCiNG....

The board performs well in many conditions but overall, this is the board to get for older people wanting to dip into the sport. It also represents an era spanning 40 years of deck designs. A little bit of Logan Earth Ski, a little bit of G&S and the rest a current design logic "FLAT IS BACK" from John Galac. The truck set up is simple. Lots of turn up on front truck and stability in the back makes for great recreational board for flat land aerobic skating, downhill cruising up to 40mph(can go faster but tweeking required) and best of all, flatboard tricks. My personal transportation device. I'm stoked! Awesome graphics and I'm getting a tattoo based on graphic! cYa     Rate post 312457 !

Just like the song. Go back, jack .... giggle So the best skating for everyone is the one you go out an do. right? at least once a day, i'm on my board looking for a new approach to getting that total body workout going. SK8KINGS is releasing my production board. I also have a custom(pricey and a paint job you don't want to messup bad). You'll need a custom email sent to chris@yandal.com to inquire about the custom version. i'll pop you an email asap. On the production board from SK8Kings, the deck is a great hardwood laminate, very stiff by design and with a very very flat deck surface. The setup for the new "Skogging" decks will have dialed in trucks, wheels, bearings, hardware and gripped for real skoggers! Mind you my son loves the board's capability to go from slow fats to 40ish speeds with great control. I like the simplicity of the board. Skogging fits into the scope of flatland skating with a board that just feels right the first time you get on it and cranks turns, rides smooth as velvet and best of all, turns on a dime yet has great stability at higherspeeds. Give www.sk8kings.com a call and ask them! and welcome back to the fold. great to see you back! Thanks Chris Yandall     Rate post 311880 !

I'm starting to think that going downhill switch foot carving may be my next endeavor to bring a downhill style that adds another dimension for necessitating chairlifts for a downhill park. Anyone got 10 million laying around? I'd love to spearhead an R&D group to do so.     Rate post 311878 !

Great to see your videos. I've moved back to California. I've been out of it for awhile getting over various maladies. Did you ever put out that 38" deck? I still have my prototype and it has become my favorite all around board. I also still ride my 34" signature. I don't try to skog anymore. I've got balance issues standing on my right foot and have had two bad falls trying to get the hang of it. I broke ribs on both falls. I'm still pumping though and the 38" is still an awesome ride. Anyway I wanted to say Hi. Please shoot me an email jmerica@earthlink dot net. My 13 year old wants to know if you made anymore 38" boards. He wants one.

As these muscles work in a balanced process, special endorfins create a physical state of gyroscopic bliss..... yo Miller! we're passing up this weekend due to family illness. my mom's 2nd CHF has us all on pins and needles. she's recovering but only in the hospital bed setting... i know you guys will kick it. will be thinking of you! hugz from diego cYa     Rate post 310247 !
