The Banana is Back!

What the hell is Chris Pastras smoking?

Those boards are fun to ride for thirty seconds and then you remember how much they suck.

they should focus more on releasing that video and paying their riders.

lame.
i guess its super trendy to not put out any footage ever and pay their riders in peanuts.


im probably lying

Chris probably hopes he can get some of that Wal-Mart and Toys R Us money with this and hopefully spread it around.

No one looks like they are enjoying themselves in that video.

At least reinvent it a little.

A plastic double tail deck with thick fat wheels might be fun to mess around with.

That video inspired me to go get whacked out of my skull on caffeine at a non-corporate coffee shop and then skip to a locally owned used book store and spend the next hour and a half masturbating in the philosophy section.

Does anybody know where I can get a front yard sex offender sign that's manufactured using only recycled materials?

My first skateboard was a fiberglass banana board I got from a baptist church in Ko'olau.  I learned how to push fast and do wheelies.  That was so much fun.  This does not look fun.

these seem to the the trend now a days. with those penny cruisers coming back and globe making one too, it's not surprising a skate company got in on it at first.  no thanks though i'll stick to my zip-zinger for my cruising.

I liked my 3 year old zip zinger, but i switched to a bigger/wider 5boro cruiser.  It's a lot easier to do ollies on and it's not really much heavier.

Ive skated one of these and im not really a fan, theyre really hard to control and the wheels and bearings arent the greatest. I wouldnt be surprised if these things are what is keeping stereo afloat.

They were giving these away at Agenda so I snagged one... they're fun for what they are, but from what I've seen they cost more than what they're worth (same with Penny). It's kinda neat riding a board like this with sealed bearings.

Stop being an industry whore.

It is not "neat riding a" banana board no matter what the fuck you say.

I like my my stereo cruiser it makes bombing big hill harder and more dangerous so long as you keep the trucks way too loose.

Some people gravitate towards shit like this so they can film a "vinyl cruiser" montage to show off how good they are gimping themselves riding a super small board.

Although there was a berrics off the grid with zared basset and he was skating in the rain with a vinyl cruiser.
