Thanks TT!
I made a Long Board out of a water ski (Tracker Trucks w/Red Kryptonics 70mm's) back in Jr. High. Some of us got into down hilling long before the X-games ever came along. We would "luge" downhill. I tried it as a way to eliminate the "wobbles" you can get on shorter boards. It worked great! I once did about 60 mph (at least that's what our friend said who was driving behind us in an old Mercury Cougar). No pads or safety gear at all...stupid, stupid, stupid
but fun, fun, fun!!!
I used to love riding that thing all around town.
I'd be curious to see what they are selling now days as a "Long Board".
