Wow, you went through all that work just to make on impression on me?!  ;)

Under a minute and a half of copying and pasting from two tabs on my browser. I can show you how to do it if you have time before your 6pm bedtime.

Don’t think he can make it today. Mans is double booked with an early bird dinner at Denny’s and sharing qanon news and doing covid vaccine research on Facebook.
Well I have like 9 Andy Anderson dated flight decks.

That’s a serious set-up.
How fast you get on those bad boys?
And what wheels are you running?

I don't know that guy. The image is from when they used to do a World Cup Downhill Race there before Covid, where the best riders from all over the world would come to Florida, Massachusetts to compete in a sanctioned race on that road for prize money.
As for Whitcomb Hill Rd? 45 mph standing up, 70 mph in a tuck if you have leathers and a seriously good full face helmet. Over 60 is kinda the Death Zone where if you eat it bad and slide into the guard rails, that could be it for you.
Skaters who really go 'all in' on downhill, think nothing of spending $800.00 or more on Swiss precision trucks and another $1000.00 and up on leathers than need replaced occasionally, $250.- $400.00 or more for a deck? It adds up for sure but it is what it is.
and the wheels? There's at least a dozen or more companies that make downhill wheels. I use both 65 and 70mm Blood Orange 80As. I don't know what wheels the guy in the picture has. If you want to see it done well, watch any Josh Neuman video on his YouTube channel.

*This is what Swiss Precision trucks look like if you've never seen them and know this before you laugh at the price, you're betting your life on these trucks not failing. No guaranteed second chances at that speed.


How hard were you when you took this photo? That has got to be porn for a longboarder.

Were you abusing yourself while you were gazing upon my image? Tell the truth. No one will laugh at you, I'm sure of that. Not here of all places.
The ONLY logical reason a Beta like you would do that, would be screaming for my validation. Myself? I wouldn't go through that much trouble to get laid.  ;D
Have fun, sport.  ;)

If I had to guess? That's the rear truck to the blue one in front of it. I have seen some strange..'rear wheel assemblies' at pro downhill events. They looked like those wheelie bars you see on dragsters. The European and to an extent, South American downhill scenes are way ahead of anything in the United States. It's kinda like the Soccer and Formula 1. The whole world is crazy about it, except most of the people in the United States. Like anything else, it's a lotta fun if you have a good group of friends to ride with. I wish everyone who skated, tried it at least once for real on a purpose built set up to see how much fun it is.

This is very beta behavior, unlike a Sigma male alpha wolf
While you were out drinking
I was studying Caliber III's
While you were having premarital sex
I was developing proper aerodynamic tuck
And now that the slap beta barbarians are at your door, you come to me for help??

Dude’s basically going to end up just talking to himself after he ends up ignoring this entire forum. Maybe there’s a Facebook longboard group you could join or have you been kicked out of all of them until you ended up here?

Don't overestimate my need for the validation of people I've never met.

…and yet here you are. Further seeking validation with each subsequent post you make. Screaming into your void of dementia careening through the hills and valleys in the twilight of your years. It’s okay grandpa, let’s get you to bed.

He'd have to get his grandson round to teach him how to load up his computer, probably still on dial up as well

I've always thought of myself as an open minded skateboarder that had seen a few things in my day, but I don't know if I've ever even seen a longboard truck before, much less a massive collection of them.

Don't overestimate my need for the validation of people I've never met. No one bullies me online or offline. If you come correct? I'm the most loyal friend you'll ever have but trolls and "internet tough guys" don't get under my skin. They're nothing but letters on a monitor screen. Nothing more.

I actually watched a couple of those Josh whatshisname videos and then that led me to some other maniac going down some mountain in Columbia swerving in and out of traffic.

What’s up with the camera person?  Are they just doing the same stuff the person being filmed is doing?  It seems like they’re the real bad asses.

Nice to finally have an alpha male Chad around here to get real with.
When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

It's just best practice, really, to let others know whenever you're not mad.
