Trick tip provided by Goin' Ballistyx! Snowboard Show.  This is one of my favorite tricks.  I do mine a bit different.  I put pressure on my toes jump into the spin.  If you put enough pressure on your toes and drop your shoulder into the spin you will go off axis.  If you plan on going off axis you should also be going for a 540.  Off axis 3s are possible 5s just look better.

Our friends at Bustin' Boards have just released a new creation.  Check out the official press release from Bustin; Boards.  (Hoboken, NJ.  September 5) – Bustin Boards announces the release of their latest deck, the Spliff, after years of development.  Following continued success with their first two models, the Complex and Cigar boards, the Spliff will continue to provide customers with the smooth ride and one of a kind graphics they’ve come to expect from Bustin.

 

The Spliff represents nearly three years of development and engineering.  "We spent a crazy amount of time refining this model,” says co-owner Ryan Daughtridge.  “We could have started production a year ago, but we decided to continue working on the design until we were satisfied with every aspect of the shape.”

 

Anticipation for the latest design has steadily grown after prototypes were spotted at previous longboard events.  “We’ve had customers contacting us for the past 12 months asking us to start production or offering to buy one of the older prototypes,” says production manager Nick Faust.  “We’re really looking forward to customer feedback on the final shape.”

 

The deck features six ply Canadian maple veneer, cold-pressed with a composite glue.  With multiple rear truck mounting positions, riders will be able to fine tune their setup based on their personal riding style. Customers will be able to select from numerous graphics, custom color combinations and different component options.  The Spliff board will be offered exclusively through the Bustin Boards website.  A special video featuring the Spliff board can be seem at www.bustinboards.com/spliff_video.asp.

Skates on Haight--An Ecommerce Review
Written by cloud rider

There are a lot of internet skate shops to choose from. I was taken aback at all the bad prices and weird HTML design out there. Since it is about time for a new board (spring time), maybe some of the doUcarve audience could use a hand picking a site to patron. Instead of picking the gnarliest review and being overly negative, I opted for a suggestion: Skates on Haight. Grade: A Second date: (enthusiastically!) yes
