Koastal Boards Pin Tail Longboard Review

December 26, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Longboard Decks, Longboarding, Longboarding Gear, Media

Lets get to the heart of the post and getting into the best longboards in my opinion. This review will talk about the boards I ride and others that my friend’s have. For the first post we have Koastal Boards Pin Tail Longboard

I have this board thanks to the guys at Koastal Boards. The Koastal Boards Pin Tail Longboard has trucks that just pop when you want to carve hard. I love cruising on flat ground while carving on this pin tail. Even though it’s great on flatland this board can bomb a hill and that’s exactly what I want in a board, flexibility. It’s priced very moderately for how well it really preforms. I highly suggest grabbing this pin tail longboard while you can.

Specifications/Hardware:
Deck Info:
Dimensions: L – 38” * W – 8.75”
Wood: Aspen, Mahogany, and Blue died maple
veneers. The core of this board is 6 ply maple.
Bottom: Natural Fiber-Lam
Shape: Slight concave and little camber
Grip: Recycled clear grip material.

Standard Hardware:
Hardware: Black hex head mounting hardware.
Bearings: Koastal Abec 5 / oil filled, gold plated
Wheel: Generic 65mm 78a
Trucks: Revenge Alpha I

Longboarding is a VERY good thing

December 12, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Longboard Decks, Longboarding, Longboarding Gear, Media, Slide Gloves

Matt Rosen of LoadedNewsletter on Youtube emailed me this video of him and Jesse Gonzalez rippin up a longboard, doing some tricks, and showing off their amazing boards. They show their falling too which I love haha. The music is by Gypsy Kings and the song is called Djobi, Djoba. Jesse is riding a Dervish Flex 1 Longboard with Paris Trucks and the wheels are Orangatang InHeat (80a). Matt’s boarding on a Dervish Flex 2 Longboard with Randal 180 trucks and the wheels are Retro Big Zigs (80a). Ch-ch-check it out.

This is a GOOD THING

I Can’t Get Enough of the Pintail Longboard

December 5, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Competitions, Longboard Decks, Longboarding, Media

I just got my awesome pintail longboard from KoastalBoards a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. My old board was a long Creation hill bomber but I’ve fallen for this shorter, harder carving, pintail and I thought I’d showcase some of those creative videos demonstrating the amazing feeling from a pintail longboard.

A Collection of Longboarding Videos

This hill is sweet but I’d have to wait until nighttime and not have a guy in a car following me. That scares me haha but hey, at least he’s wearing a helmet

Mogwai Longboard from adam revington on Vimeo.

This is a cool video, the colors and editing make it really stand out. I want to check out this place and cruise there with these guys!

Longboard Grashoppers from Jeroen Gerritsen on Vimeo.

I like me some homemade looking videos that demonstrate raw longboarding. In this video they bomb parking garage, hit hills, and go in the grass. Pretty cool stuff.

I animate, or at least I used to animate a lot. This is a cool rotoscoping video, I think if I release another video soon or a documentary I’ll include that.

Gravity Longboard 45″ Spoon Nose Review

November 18, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Longboard Decks, Longboarding, Longboarding Gear

vv – Get the Gravity Longboard 45″ Spoon Nose Complete Deck – $162.95 – vv

Deck Length is 45″ L
Maximum Width is 9.33″
Nose Width:5.50″
Tail Width:7.50″
Truck Options:
Tracker 149mm Darts, Randal 150mm, or Orion SP1 150mm
Gravity ABEC5 Bearings
Wheel options:
62mm, 97a – Black (Hard), 66mm, 77a – Ice White, 66mm, 80a – Black, 70mm, 74a – Trans Red, or 70mm, 83a – Navy
7ply Hardrock Maple Wood

The design is sick, the quality of Gravity boards are always consistent and these are wheels that your gonna love. Sometimes when you buy a longboard you should get better wheels, not with this puppy this board is great for any type of longboarding. I prefer the 66m, Ice White wheels. Any of the trucks are good, but big trucks are kinda fun. It’s big so you can cross step and bomb hills but has the design my first board has so you can get a little freaky with your tricks or just cruise and tackle large distances.

Bombing Old Willy Hill on a Longboard

November 4, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Longboard Decks, Longboarding, Media

An excellent example of a longboarding video. They bomb this huge smooth hill and have an awesome camera angle. It looks to me as if theyre using a Loaded Dervish Longboard. Definitely recommend getting one, they ride low, fast, and stable.

Richmond Virginia Longboarding Session

November 4, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Longboarding, Media

The beginning has an awesome song by Ronald Jenkees whos probably the coolest musician you’ll ever see, check him out on Youtube for your sake. This vid features a drop-mount longboard that’s really flat and kinda looks like a Landyachtz Drop Carve Fiberglass Longboard, I’m not sure though. Let me know if you have any idea. This has some good hill bombing shots and a nice crew of longboarders and freeborders with super bright matching orange wheels and I dig it haha!

-If you don’t have a helmet and gloves don’t come. I’m sure we have gloves to spare but I don’t feel like leaving behind brain juice at garages.

Garage #1 (Bessey) – Long and slow with all left turns. You can kick down the whole thing.
Garage #2 (Hamster Cage) – 5 floors and fast with all left turns, stop on the 2nd floor or die. You can kick the whole first down.
Garage #3 (Grand River) – I’m gonna have to check this one out before I define it.
Garage #4 (Comm Arts) – 4 floors and fast with 3 rights and a left. You can kick until the line, then kick and pump the whole bottom flat section.
Garage #5 (Wharton) – We have some leeway here, I’m thinking all rights, all lefts, and hit 2 cutbacks. Kick status pending.

They have sponsors but are looking for more if anyone’s interested!! Please contact the original poster on the gogreenlongboarding website.

Get a Pair of Longboard Sliding Gloves NOW

October 23, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Longboarding, Longboarding Gear, Slide Gloves

There’s nothing like a pair of sliding gloves to take your longboarding to the next level. With a pair of sliding gloves you can get low and add some flair to your style by spinning, sliding, and mastering the roads. You can make your own but I recommend the Loaded Sliding Gloves as they have everything you need at a very reasonable price.

These are one size fits all. They have included knuckle protection, a breathable mesh top side, a wrist cushion (not intended as a replacement for proper wrist protection, but it helps,) and a whole lot more.
Editor’s Comments: If you’re new to longboarding or want to go to the next elevation, I highly highly recommend picking up a pair of these!

Get the Loaded Sliding Gloves Now, only $55.95

Go Bomb Hills – Park Lake Rd: Burcham Dr to Haslett Rd

September 20, 2009 in Bombing Hills

Part 1 of the “Go Bomb Hills” campaign. Starting off in the Lansing, Michigan area, we will be focused on providing a list of hills that we love to bomb in the day and night. The pictured located at the top of this post is the view from the Haslett Road and Park Lake Road intersection looking in the direction of Burcham Drive.


^ This view is looking down the hill towards the Haslett Road and Park Lake Road intersection. My back is facing towards Burcham Drive and I’m to the right side of Burcham Hills


^ This view is looking at the Burcham Drive and Park Lake Road intersection. To the left of the light, just off of Burcham Drive on the right, is Burcham Hills. I’m facing the direction of the Haslett Road and Park Lake Road intersection, just past the Burcham Drive and Park Lake Road intersection.


^ Burcham Hills is located right by the Burcham Drive and Park Lake Road intersection. It’s between Haslett/Okemos and East Lansing. There are 2 turns before the turn onto Burcham Drive if you were bombing the hill from where I’m taking the picture. My preference is to take a right at the first turn and follow is all the way around Burcham Hills to the right or taking the next left and looping back to the bottom of the hill.
