Longboarding Mini-Series EP1: Western Sessions "Thunder Snow"

[evryfingandanyfing1]

why didn't you guys just bomb it instead of just pumping and carving? oh well still awesome

[vagamagsbund]

Why do they keep bitchin about the altitude for the first half of the video? Who is interested in hearing this? The rest is nice though :)

[SlashmanG]

it's a VW golf

[CrimeroyaIe]

Please get rid of the retarded sounding girl for the intro of your vids. Thumbs up if you agree

[m93sek]

Zigzag downhill is the fastest way to avoid a blizzard....

[OpManifesto]

@sfgiantsfan500  Yes, I started sliding on 72mm 75A's. They wont slide as easily, especially if theyve got a square/sharp lip, but if you go fast enough theyll slide easy

[OpManifesto]

I'm sorry, but why in gods name would you carve down a mountain on an original? Get stiff boards + square lipped wheels, and charge that shit.

[SpiderCider69]

my dads like 200 pounds and wants a skateboard to cruise around on with me, i was thinking pintail so which would be good for him being his weight and a beginner?

[Originalskateboards]

@SpiderCider69 he would be fine with either the pintail 43 or pintail 46. Both boards can easily hold up to 250lbs, and they're both great beginner boards.

[ushiuni82]

Beautiful place

[colinpowers7]

When you guys were going down this hill, what springs did you use in your boards? Like black or red or white?

_Colin

[ravenwithfire]

Awesome video. any one know who the music is?

[moddedwarfare113]

your 5 4 and 190 your a biggg kid

[TrainsSeriously]

The skating doesn't even start until the second half, and it is just carving.

[TheGamingSupremacy]

@TrainsSeriously it's not just tricks longboarding is a general title

[TrainsSeriously]

@TheGamingSupremacy I know. I longboard, but when I watch a video I tend to expect to see stuff that I couldn't do. Something talented. This is just carving. It isn't dancing, urban assault, sliding, downhill, or any other discipline that actually requires skill.

[ben88665]

@TrainsSeriously Obviously you don't understand original's videos. Their videos aren't about skill and tricks. It's about showing the beautiful things in life. You're really ignorant.

[PeNdErAg0n]

@ben88665

speed is beautiful!

[OpManifesto]

@ben88665 It'd still be cooler if they actually broke 20mph

[TheAdamgnych]

please can we see another series Original! This series is some of the best stuff on youtube. I've watched it so many times and it still gets me stoked for skating and traveling. pretty please guys

[TheAfr0Drummer]

Hey original i got my apex 37 in the mail 2 days ago and didnt get my western sessions dvd or an original sticker. Why? I was looking forward to it. I love the board though.

[MaGic1079]

heyyy im 1m 74 55 kg downhill curving?? apex 37? thanks mensssss you are my lords

[mustykoala]

What two boards are used in this episode?

[poufification]

la chance il a la montagne juste a coté

[blankly01]

would it be alright to start learning longboarding even though I'm 29yrs old? I did a bit of skateboarding but more like cruising. I'm thinking of getting a mini. Would that be a got board to start off with?

[Originalskateboards]

@blankly01 Heck yes it's alright to learn. When we started Original (almost 9 years ago) my Dad stepped onto a longboard for the first time (he was 48). Even though he was a life time surfer and newly inducted snowboarder he hadn't ridden a skateboard since he broke his wrist when he was 12.

It is never to late, or too early, to start.

That being the case a Mini is not a great place to start in my opinion. Better to go with something a little longer to make learning easier and more fun.

[blankly01]

@Originalskateboards Thanks. I stand 5'3" with about 160lbs (heavy dude, I know) that's why I'm thinking getting a mini. But if a longer one would help me shorten the learning time that would be cool.

Would 32's or 34's work for my height?

[Originalskateboards]

@blankly01 Hey Blankly, it really depends on what you are doing with it and what shape the actual deck is. Most minis 32'' or shorter are really more like shortboard skateboards with a pointy surf style nose (see Element, Lost.. Santa Cruz et. al). Those are not longboards and not what you are looking for as far as I can tell.

You certainly could choose a shorter board (like a 34'' with a wider wheel base, maybe an Apex 34) or you could go with something like a Pintail 37 etc.

[d0wnto3arthshuffl3r]

hey hows it going im 5'6 and weigh 55kgs and i was just wondering is the pintail 40 a good board for carving/cruising =] cheers.

[Originalskateboards]

@d0wnto3arthshuffl3r Hey! The Pintails are awesome for carving, cruising and having a good time. Both the Pintail 37 and 40 will be good for your size!

[d0wnto3arthshuffl3r]

@Originalskateboards great thanx buddy =]

[duetodie]

@Originalskateboards is it nomal for a longboard to go really flex able afew years?

[SuperSoundclash]

@Originalskateboards im 5 4" and 190 lbs is the malakai 40 if not what would you recommend

[Originalskateboards]

@JAErickson12x28

Considering your height and weight, I would suggest waiting for the Apex 34 to come back in stock which should be by the end of the month! If you have any other questions, let us know

[surfycharlie123]

Hey im a beginner, 15 years old, 5" 6 and 126 lbs, what would you suggest?

[Originalskateboards]

@surfycharlie123

A great beginner board for you would be either the Malakai, Pintail 37, Pintail 40 or the Torpedo! Check them out and if you have any other questions, let us know!

[surfycharlie123]

Hey im a beginner, 15 years old, 5" 6 and 9 stone, what would you suggest?

[Originalskateboards]

@surfycharlie123 Check out the Pintail 37 or Pintail 40 for cruisng, carving and transportation. For tricks and slides try the Apex 37 in Flyweight flex.

[snowhitchers98]

This was freaking awsome

[TrystonANDTobyshow]

im always a little freked out to go down giant hills without them leveling out somehow. im cool with giant hills as long as they turn out straight or even a slight uphill at the end. i guess wat im sayin is, i need to figure out how to slow down. i kinda got it with the whole put or foot down, but with goin fast and the speed wobble thing,i just dont know how. can yoy tell me how exactly to slow down or come to a complete stop while going fast? please answer back and thanks a lot!

[tbro588]

5'10" 165 lbs Looking for a board to cruise around on. I'm a beginner. What board should I get?

[Originalskateboards]

@tbro588

A great cruising board for a beginner that I would recommend to you would be either the Pintail 40, Pintail 43, Torpedo 40 or an Apex 37 if you want something a little bit more aggressive.

[sqeekeyness]

Hey original longboarders i am 5"9" and i am looking for a longboard but a mini version at a reasonable low price do you have any suggestions. thanks, please respond.

[Originalskateboards]

@sqeekeyness

A great mini longboard at a reasonably low price that would work great for you is the Derringer 28 which should be in stock fairly soon! I would suggest that one or the Apex 34 which we are expecting sooner

[longboardWPG]

what is that song?

[iSk8PlanBzZ]

what are the best wheels for sliding?

[captinawesomeify]

@iSk8PlanBzZ sui-slider wheels 

[Originalskateboards]

@iSk8PlanBzZ Usually people prefer harder durometer wheels for sliding- in the neighborhood of 83/86a works well.

-Joel

[leandotorres7]

muy buenos rider y muy buenos videos

[jcindehouse]

Hi Original,

I'm 11 and im looking for a board

the apex 37 would be great but ill be way to small for it.

Right now I have a Sector 9 Tree Barrel. Its my first and only board but i luv to ride some hills around my neighbourhood. I wanna learn how to slide as well as my next thing and do a couple tricks. What board would you reccomend.

[Originalskateboards]

@jcindehouse The Apex 34 sounds like a pretty good option for you. Its a bit shorter and lighter then the 37 so will fit your size. Look for them to be in stock next month.

-Joel

[misterpaperchase]

CAN YOU CARVE LIKE THAT ON A LOADED TAN TIEN WITH 180 TRUCKS??

[40crestwood]

im 5' 4" and 125lbs i like carving, a little bit of down hill, and a little bit of freestyle which board do u recommend?

[MrSmith2285]

[itsakadoozy95]

@MrSmith2285 the road was closed

[MrSmith2285]

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for sharing the awesome video. Happy New Year 2011.. Best to you.

[LoveLifeVnecks]

[linzadagangster]

[morganmayhem77]

[Originalskateboards]

@DiabeticGUnit

You should be good with a Pintail 37! It will be a great board for you to gain some speed with!

[ProfessorMasterFunk]

@DiabeticGUnit Dude, if you're looking for speed you're better off getting a Landyachtz or a Rayne.

[CJBestie]

I'm 5" 10 and am looking for a board that can be used for hillriding and transport any recommendations?????

Hi there Original! .. I need help to find a good wheel, I want a easy sliding wheel as i want to learn how to slide.. but i still want to be able to go and have fun with friends without loosing the grip.  do you have any tips of what to look for?

[Originalskateboards]

@PlatypusOfSweden

I would recommend Orangatang Stimulus wheels. They're great for sliding and grip!

[allback40]

I´m wanna buy a custom 35, but i dont know what kind of trucks and wheels that would be best for it. Can help me out?

[Originalskateboards]

@allback40

The S8s with a grippy wheel is usually the way to go with the Custom 35. I would recommend either Retro ZigZags or Orangatang 4 Pres

[merks91]

i'm not hating on original, but why don't these guys show off a little? i mean of they are sponsored riders they've gotta be pretty decent. they could have gotten great footage bombing those hills or even some good free riding. i don't' think i saw 1 standup 180 in there.

[imacultclassic]

Going on a road trip out west this summer, trying to hit some sick longboarding spots. Was wondering if I could get some info on some of these spots? Particularly the mountain in ep 1, and the ditches in vegas and NM.

[ComposersOfficial]

what are the boards that u guys rided on this episode? i can see there is apex 37

[iamHatters]

To go along with these board suggestion messages if you dont mind, I'm 6,2" and 145lbs, new to longboarding, but the carving stuff looks more appealing to me but it seems boards can be pretty specialised, are there any more all round boards?

[Livinglikelogan]

High altitude training, that's legit.

[LongBoard1997]

Hey what boards were u guys using??

[SpiritofBoulder]

how much more speed can s10s handle then s8s? i live in boulder colorado and i like to bomb huge hills and i got a dervish and i want original trucks. My friend has a 37 its sick!!! I want good carving trucks and how much speed can s8s and s10s handle b4 speed wobble?

[trevornish000]
