long story short, was doing stupid hours on security, busses never on time so got miself a skate board for 15 quid,, broke it in 2 weeks so baught another, n got this,

an extreme pro board, with abec 9s and pro alloy trucks,,


i got some stickers with it n so thought ied sticker bomb it,,

then got board so removed the stickers,,


literaly sprayed the tail black, which,, suprisingly removed the sticker with ease leaving fresh maplewood,, so i spent an hour cutting a "curly" out as thats my nick name lol,, even though im bubi on here ( if admin could change to curly wud be good )






un till my acutal hazardstyle grip tape comes, i got with the paint n tape


and the finished product

not bad for a bored monday morning,, afternoon spent playing on my board

and yes this is my current wip, and yest its my 4 wheels, and yes ill be bringing it to a cruise or show near you

[Michael!]

thought id be the only skater boi on here


last deck i owned was a flip deck, i did something similar with spray paint
indie trucks and abec 9's

i loved it:)

[curly]

im not like a skate boi,, allthough everyone thinks i am,, it took me a while of getting used to balance n transfaring n ollieing,, still trying to master ollieing,,

pop shovets one ive learnt so far lol, allthough my ankles do get bruised and i only come off it when im being a dick going down a hill to fast on concrete lol,, 97dru wheels dont mix well on concrete as i keep finding out,, but slidding while slippy is good fun

im actually nursing a trapped nerve i did yesterday,, coming down a steap hill car was coming up so jumped off, both feet went,, so ended up on my belly sliding down rtying to grab my board behind me to get back on it lol,,

but the skateboard was just asking for my customising just waiting on my red and white grip tape now, then ill be sorted

my first board was a no fear shedevil but i got dirty looks for that board, so the banks rockinghorse was my next beast abec 9s though are mint,, dont think i can get any fast bearings than them?


also, howw do u strip the bearings down fully?

as oiling them ive used either castrol gtx manictec,, or cooking oil,,, cleaning ive removed them, soaked them in wd, and spun them dry,, to be re oiled,

Mate, you can change your own username, don't need the admin to do it for ya

Under the fiestaturbo.com logo at the top left, on the light blue bit you'll see a link saying "User Control Panel".

Click that, then click the "Profile" tab and finally click the link for "Edit account settings" on the left. You can change your username there.

Also, if you don't fancy painting, you could pm nomad about having vinyls cut to go on the board. If you change your mind you can just peel them off then.

[curly]

mice one,, vinals a good idea especialy when it comes to my car, and my mini moto,, but the deck gets a beating,, so wouldnt want to ruin the vinals hence cheapo paint as its only guna get scratched off anyways,,

[andymac]

You can lacquer the vinyl after the event too, makes it harder wearing.

[curly]

thats exactly what i did to the whole deck,, nice bit of halfords secial stops the celly getting scratched then abit,, the tapes come off now so on the case for my red and white tape then its wheels n trucks next lol,, once u pop ,.,.

[curly]

i was like m8 all i got is a packet of fags,, "yeah thattle do" so with the biggest grin on my face,, i got on it swapped the fags n got a board
