Starting at 1:13 Brian Bishop kills a manual. Back to working on my own manuals. Someday I’ll learn how to Nose Manual too!
Original team rider Brian Bishop 360 flips longboarding off the sidewalks into the air and onto the streets of Boston, Mass on his Apex 37. Go Longboard and celebrate the up-coming release of the new Apex 37 with Original.
Longboarders Luke, Will, Jack and Charlie from the Original Jr. Team string together some lines, some drops and a ton of hand tricks in their fall longboarding contribution.
New York’s longboarding push race free-for-all, straight down Broadway. Follow Brian Bishop pushing hard through the heart of NYC (and ~6 miles of traffic) on a slightly modified coarse to the finish of the 2009 Bomb.
If you missed the Broadway Bomb in 2009, be there (New York City) this October 2010 to add your name to the list of entries in what is quickly becoming THE signature longboard push race. Special thanks to Sam Houston and Dane Webber.
Trucks can be the breaker for some longboarders.The different turning angles, spring loaded or not, the type of bearings you use and the wheel combination all make a large difference in how it rides. Whether it’s for bombing hills or street cruising, knowing the trucks that work best for your riding style and longboarding flair. Longboarding.

Original S8 (200mm) Longboard Trucks:
“We have developed three longboard truck sizes, each to hit a specific rider / riding type. Similarly we have also developed three different tension springs to expand our riding possibilities. Each truck size and spring tension has a completely different feel.
We recommend that heavier riders (160 Lbs and over) as well as riders who have a lot of longboarding experience on traditional longboard trucks (randal, paris etc) go for the wider sizes of Originals (S8 200mm or S10 250mm) and for the heavier tension spring options.
Lighter riders (less than 160Lbs), beginners (who will enjoy the ease of turning) and riders who surf, and want a more surfy ride, may want to lean towards the mid or small sized hangers and the lighter tension springs.”

These are super bad ass looking trucks. They have yellow and black spirals and that is always something to go for ha. They are long, so they look like they are great for bombing hills or street cruising, just use a wrench to adjust the tilt to whatever you are doing
