[halfpint8oz]

what kinda shoes does the guy in purple have?

[MrEmerican]

@halfpint8oz Adidas Sambas, they are an indoor soccer shoe

[crosshairs15]

@frakorion WTF? Downhill and speedboarding are the same, technical and freeride is sliding

[LlamaWarfare]

What helmet is the guy in purple wearing? And is the thing on the back modified?

[codestare]

@LlamaWarfare its an aerothrust speedmaster. discontinued. their new model is the vector m4.

[LlamaWarfare]

@codestare Sweet. I was looking at the Vector M4's.

[codestare]

@LlamaWarfare i have one, i kinda wish i spent the extra money on a charly. the vectors visor sucks and it fogs going under 15. the vision is kinda shitty and its kinda ugly. for the price it great but charly's have all the kinks worked out

[LlamaWarfare]

Whats the sooooonnnggg. Ok it's produced by Indica Jones and AG raps, song name please! I'm dying this song is fireeeeeeeeee.

[LlamaWarfare]

@LlamaWarfare Found it. Showbiz and AG - Next Level

[heyitsericc]

Hey Motion,

What setup is the guy in purple riding?

[LlamaWarfare]

@heyitsericc Fivemile B17 fortress, Nimbus Trucks (?), Centrax (?)

[GROMdh]

waht helmet do u recomend? predator dg6 or charly no limit?

[lukesimonbrothers]

what's the hill called?

[MotionBoardshop]

@lukesimonbrothers

Holmes hill homes



[lukesimonbrothers]

@MotionBoardshop thought so, how fast is it?



[pepemusic1]

Heeelmet *----------*

[gymman0990]

whats the difference between speedboarding and regular downhilling?

[Kmann2202]

@gymman0990 turns, turns, and lots of turns. other than that they are both fast and they are both fun as hell

[Frakorion]

@gymman0990 Downhilling includes(often) more slides. Speedboarding concentrates more on the speed itself.

[carsonisaboss]

@gymman0990 balls balls and more balls ( speedboarding is just straight bombing and down hill idk is just like techinical sliding

[chinodef55]

been lookin everywhere for a helmet. i'm about to settle on Charly No Limit but then i saw these. what site can i find a good variety of speedboarding helmets to choose from? not including ebay or anythin like that.

[100010011100]

My friend thinks the camera is attached to something pulling the guys (I told him it's a little camera on the end of a stick). Can someone back me up?

[phxneonrayne]

@100010011100 yah bro its a camera on a pole. its a really easy, light way to film yourself at highspeeds

[jmorgan1994]

What was the second board?

[mrPACarrier]

what happens if you are rolling on a little rock while going down the hill ? do you crash ?

[longwoodteam]

@mrPACarrier hell no. You can hit rocks half the size of your wheel.

[funnyman322]

and then you hit a rock =/

[TheChocolateWontons]

Hey Motion I'm just wondering, is a motion dh speed longboard good?

[TheChocolateWontons]

what bushings should I get on a rayne avenger?

[MotionBoardshop]

@TheChocolateWontons

VENOM!

[Folkedahl]

Nice sweatshirt :)

[retrolol]

landyachtz evo with lime big zigs is the 2nd board setup, EPIC!

[TheChocolateWontons]

what boards were used in this video?

[MotionBoardshop]

@TheChocolateWontons

5-mile B17 Fortress and a Landyachtz evo

[dmgcat]

@MotionBoardshop I have Paris 180s on a Landyachtz Evo. If I want to make it more 'turny' without screwing with the bushings should I add angled spacers?I have seen a racer who had it setup like that but I didn't know how it would affect the ride.

[MotionBoardshop]

@dmgcat

assuming you're running the stock paris plates, I would put a wedge underneath the front truck to reduce the angle of the front truck. with the evo, the huge wedge up front adds 15* to your truck and makes it difficult to get enough leverage to be able to turn.

[blakedbs102]

Whats the set up of the first guy?

[MotionBoardshop]

@blakedbs102

5-Mile B-17 Fortress

[MotionBoardshop]

@blakedbs102 B-17 Fortress made by a local company called Five Mile. We are the only shop that carries them.

[longboarder4569]

@MotionBoardshop stoked had them. I realize that this comment was six months ago but im pretty sure they had them then.

[MotionBoardshop]

you can!! : )

[theflyinchocolatemil]

do the landyachtz zombie hawgs use 10mm bearing spacers. please tell me as quickly as possible!

[davidresnekov]

@theflyinchocolatemil im not sure but they probably use 8x10mm spacers like most other wheels

[MotionBoardshop]

@theflyinchocolatemil

8mm  x 10mm

[MotionBoardshop]

@theflyinchocolatemil Yes they use the regular 10mm bearing spacers.

[slotback67]

what boards???

[blakedbs102]

soo fast and sick motion stickers i like how there in different colors

[TheHashsmoker420]

what do you guys think of freebords?

[Ski4lifeify]

@TheHashsmoker420 stupid like training wheels

[supdudeimkris]

@TheHashsmoker420 yeah, freeboards are like toys man, just like those wave board things

[Strange2u]

@supdudeimkris I think you're wrong my firend I mean, I love my longboards, bought a freebord last year because it looked fun, and it was! I mean, it won't replace my decks, but it is a great addition to my collection of fun shit to ride! Not nearly as versatile, but fun when you have the place to do it.

See my response to Hashsmoker, but for a summary: Used to be skiers VS. boarders a while ago; don't just hate because it's new&different, because it can still be fun. We're all just out to ride

[supdudeimkris]

@Strange2u i see...i'm not really hating,i just thought those were like the waveboard things that kids play around with, didn't really know they were more serious than that, no harm intended dude, sorry if that pissed you off

[Strange2u]

@supdudeimkris No worries my good man, not pissed at all. But don't be so quick to judge something until you've tried it for yourself.

Check out this video video.mpora.com/watch/64q40vhK­H/hd/true if you want to see some pretty damn good riding, it's like 20min long. The dude with the dreads is all over youtube, he's a maniac, from the EU somewhere.

Like I said, it's different than a deck, not better, not worse, just different.

Different stokes for different folks sir! Keep riding!

[supdudeimkris]

@Strange2u true true! :)

[Strange2u]

@TheHashsmoker420 Look, I'm sure I'll get some hate for this, but hater gonna hate, as the saying goes... People can rag on freebords all they want, but it is a very different feel compared to a longboard. I bought one last year, it has not replaced my dervish or insect, but has become very good friends with them. If you have the hills for them, they are amazing!

This whole thing between longboards and freebords reminds me of the skiers vs snowboarders way back when (fuck, i'm getting old)...

[Strange2u]

@TheHashsmoker420 Everyone is just out to have a good time and ride when it comes down to it, so who cares what you are doing it on?! Truthfully, being a snowboarder for almost 17yrs now (so yeah, I was there for the 2 plank vs 1 plank fights), a freebord allows me to feel that "flow" of spinning and carving a bit more, but overall, my decks get way more use. A freebord is a specialty item; if you got the hills, it's great!

As I said, in the end, just spread the love and have fun riding

[TheHashsmoker420]

@Strange2u yeah i love my apex 37 but i am curious thats all saw the freebord for the first time this weekend in chico

[tevens22]

Sick shoes ahaha!

[TheHashsmoker420]

damn guys just keep pumping them out much love and respect

[MotionBoardshop]

@TheHashsmoker420

, and yes we try to get all the footage out there that we can, everyone should be entitled to see the amount of fun out there, hopefully a summer of fun like this is in fron of us.

[malditacicuta]

tune ???

[hotgluefingerboard11]

sick stuff. longboarding is so addicting

[slotback67]

dammit seattle....you slay that rain

[pdubs926]

nice you guys r good riders how fast? what helmets are they rocking. right now im in a bell drop its nice cuz of the vents but i really wanna helmet with a visor to keep bugs outta my face any sugestions

ps charl no limits are a little too expensive

[MotionBoardshop]

@pdubs926

In this vid they are using speedair longtails.

You can actually buy a Charly no-limit visor and it fits the Bell Drop perfectly. Usually people just tape it on but you can also craft your own flip-up mechanism if you'd like.

[pdubs926]

@MotionBoardshop ive heard you can get the tails hooked on somethign and it can pull you neck and you can break it is that true? and charly no limit visors are sooo expensive i dont have i think there like 75 bucks or somethign well i dont have the oney wheels cost too much but hey i love my otangs so ill spend money on them

[MrHenry1234321]

nice dude what do u reckon was your top speed was?

[MotionBoardshop]

@MrHenry1234321

Top speed is 47 mph on that hill. Definitely a local gem.
