New Skateboard

A few months back my friend PJ ran off with my cruiser board. It was a pretty sweet ride that I've had since my first semester of college which was, uh, a while ago. It was just an ATM Blank but I did some sweet tiger stripes on the grip (Memphis!), Indy trucks and 70mm Kryptonics. Heavy, but perfect for cruising to the beer store because sometimes it's more trouble to grab a bike, lock it, ride back one handed (if I don't take a bag or the cruiser avec basket). But since it left I've only had my regular board. So I totally got myself a present. Toy Machine deck, Venture trucks, 65mm Kryptonics. I went with the Venture Lows because I wanted this to be as light as I could make it and feel as much like a regular board as it could. It's nice, nice, nice.




This board is for cruising only, no fix-pushing:

Props to Cara

Big ups to Cara for representing female fixed freestyle riders in Issue 23 of Urban Velo! She rides hard, writes on Gotta Be Gritty and Candy Cranks and knows her gear. Keep it goin', girl!
