Just got a new cruiser for the summer

Jason Lee "Cat in the Hat"
Independent Stage 7 149's
63mm Bullets
Bones Swiss
Cell Block II's

sooooooooo sick. i had that deck growing up. i love it when people skate "vintage," "valuable," "collectable" skateboards... you should take pics of it getting destroyed every couple sessions, then post them on skull and bones to make the ebayers cry.

Officer Caruthers · « **Reply #541 on:** June 27, 2011, 03:16:51 PM »

Yeah, I actually bought the board with the intention of displaying it.
But within 15 minutes of getting it in the mail, it was gripped and set-up. haha...

I just came to a realization that I would have way more fun skating it then looking at it on my wall.
The shape is just too dope not to ride...

Are you trying to imply that is an OG Blind Lee? ? I don't think so.

Officer Caruthers · « **Reply #543 on:** June 27, 2011, 03:22:16 PM »

No way, It's a C&D. If it was an OG Blind I would be paying my rent with the ebay $$ from it. haha....

icybear187 · « **Reply #544 on:** June 27, 2011, 03:25:04 PM »

Those 146 Stage 7's are quite the find though. Good stuff.

Officer Caruthers · « **Reply #545 on:** June 27, 2011, 03:30:26 PM »

Yeah, I found them on ebay for only 23 bucks...
The guy selling them had them attached to these ridiculous gigantic off-road wheels.
I'm guessing that's why they sold so low...

They were pretty grimy when they came in the mail, but they cleaned up nice...
Indy's with the 6-hole or OG 4-hole pattern are hard to come across cheap nowadays.

icybear187 · « **Reply #546 on:** June 27, 2011, 03:52:50 PM »

Yeah they can be tough to find at a reasonable price that is for sure. They cleaned up well!

I kinda feel like a tool for asking this, but...is there a legitimate way to clean your griptape?

I ask in here because, not too long ago, I was going to be late to an exam, and the only way I could make it is if I rode my Zig Zagger, which sounds badass had it not been raining for the last three days. So now my grip is all caked with dirt and shit, and I've long since had to exchange the bearings. So...yeah.

no promises (1:28)

pizzafliptofakie · « **Reply #551 on:** June 30, 2011, 08:38:54 AM »

Seems legit. I'll test it on an old broken board before I try it, but it looks promising.

Thanks!

marginal way · « **Reply #552 on:** June 30, 2011, 11:49:27 AM »

that won't work if it's really caked on...us a wire brush. or an old toothbrush. or go to home depot and ask for belt sander cleaning gum.

I've used a wet toothbrush. If it's just loose dirt and dust, a vacuum works wonders.

I'm assuming that's carpet. Is it hard to stay on the board?

yeah its carpet but its not hard to stay on. for the most part it skates like any other board. just like if you tried to slide on your carpet with sneakers on, its pretty grippy. it certainly doesn't hurt that i've got brand new vans on. its pretty fun and its super comforatable to ride on. the doormat is quite thick and plush.

pizzafliptofakie · « **Reply #560 on:** July 01, 2011, 05:13:13 PM »

haha, that carpet cruiser is too cool.

But yeah, the Windex thing didn't do much. I just tried the wet toothbrush thing real quick and it helped a little. I'll probably do it some more later.

How did you make this stick? Did you use some kind of spray adhesive?

i used a $2 tube of liquid nails, you can find it at any hardware store.

i put a good amount of it on to cover the entire top of the board(nice and messy, all the way past the edges), then stacked a bunch of boards on top to put some weight on it so i'd know it stuck really well. after a day passed, i took the boards off and let it air dry another day. then i just cut around it the same way i'd grip a regular board and burned the edges using a lighter so the fabric wouldn't fray as easily. it will still fray a little here and there after you miss a flip trick or whatever but nothing your lighter can't fix.

swllbo · « **Reply #564 on:** July 02, 2011, 08:31:41 PM »

I'm familiar with the liquid nails. We used to use it to glue coping on temporary cinder block ledges. I may have to try this. It looks like it would be fun.

well for that matter...

more to see at the DIY boards thread. Almost have the graphic for the 2nd coffee fetching carpet cruiser done now. just skating to the local bar for a little more inspiration.

thanks randozzi. I intend to send a couple from the next batch I make back east, one to Identity, and one to Orchard, so hopefully you'll get to take one for a spin around the block or skate the mini with it.

Randozzi · « **Reply #569 on:** July 03, 2011, 02:06:23 PM »

i don't live in Boston, just a friend of the shop. but i'm sure those guys will be stoked.
