Gravity Skateboards Hypercarve 47

[Inuyashafreak9494]

Is this board good for a beginner? I just plan on cruising for the most part and maybe some sliding

[kevseadog]

@Inuyashafreak9494 It is a great board for cruising, carving, boardwalikin and some longboard tricks as well. It is certainly slide-able, but is not a tech-slide board.

I recommend it...to beginners and experienced boarders...lots of fun!

Peace.

I bet The Most Interesting Man in the World would say, "I don't always ride a skateboard, but when I do, I ride a Gravity Skateboard."

hey bra i got them say kicks!

[metalogical]

Classic longboarding video! Makes me want to go skate every time.

[kevseadog]

@metalogical

Thanks man, I really dig your vids as well.

I used to do quite a bit of metal smithing as a kid.

Keep up the good work.

Peace.

[metalogical]

@kevseadog Right on! I noticed you have some craft videos posted. Very cool.

Hope you keep posting skate videos. The Brad Edwards video is so sick and the ditch video is great.

[CommunismCome]

i thought he was jesus, cause it looked like he was sliding on his hands

[amartherus]

@shreddinlikewhaa if you just wanna cruise look at the makai or the kalai. the hypercarve is pretty long...

[sickbart]

I have one and it it perfect ! The real longboard , classic surf line :)

[100littlecurses]

Its a really nice board. Pretty stiff though. =/

[yoshigamer141]

that was ridiculous when you stood at the front of the board! awesome man!!

[kevseadog]

@yoshigamer141 Thanks!.

Peace.

[kevseadog]

@shreddinlikewhaa

This is a great cruizing board. I highly recommend it!

Matter of fact this is my favorite cruizing board of all time, and it is fully capable if you wanna step it up as you gain experience.

Enjoy it!

Peace.

@kevseadog

What kind of set up do you recommand for cruising ?

[kevseadog]

@steben888 This board set up stock is sweet!

Burners, drifters or Hi-Grades are rad for wheels! Hi-Grades will roll over anything, and Burners and Drifters slide very nice. Drifters are, of course, like butter on the pavement... break away with very little resistence!

PM me if you have specific questions, the more I know about your riding style, the more I can help.

Peace.

[SaltyWooHoo]

Hey kev,

I was wondering what the Carve 46 was like? Im really interested in by a double kick/dance board and I cant find anything about the carve 46

[kevseadog]

@SaltyWooHoo I have not had a chance to ride the Gravity Carve 46 yet as I am filming a Carve 39 vid right now.

Looks like a ton of fun to me though!

I'll let you know when I take one out for a spin!

Peace.

[tadlee]

I think you sold me my board a few years ago Kevin - Thanks again bro - Love it

[milkmoney35]

i love my hc47 but i just cant get a frontside 180 on it any tips?

[kevseadog]

@milkmoney35 Carve wide in the opposite direction you wish to 180 slide, put your weight on the front foot, just behind the bolts, in a crouched position let your ffront hand graze the concrete as you put more weight to the front, leaning into the hill and pushing your back foot into the slide. Should be almost effortless, as though the board just wants it to happen and take you along for a ride. Practice on a nice wide culdasak as you see in my 360 slide Kalai vid.

Pm me w/ questions.

Peace

[milkmoney35]

@kevseadog thanks bro im whippin these bitches out like nothing now

[frostykc]

is this a good board for cruising /commuting?

please answer thanks,

[tadlee]

@frostykc It definitely is. I cruise round town all the time

[bradcto]

what truck is it ? i am planning to buy one !!! cool ...nice job, man !

[kevseadog]

@bradcto I was riding Randal Downhills.

I am riding Randal 180's now and they're sick too!

This is a totally fun board, I am sure you'll dig it!

Peace.

[bradcto]

@kevseadog i order a tracker 180 for it 

[bradcto]

@kevseadog i got the Venom bushing for the tracker fast track 180 .....but now i notice the bushing is different size from stock bushing to Venom..lol

[TheTrainingWheels]

2 Questions that could break my choice between the 47" or the 42"

#1 Is it easy to do slides? Like 180's Etc?

#2 Is what do you think that the Flex is like? Because im around 190 Pounds and im debating on the flex for it :(

B-Day is in 2 months and I get a board choice and im looking into Gravity :D

Thanks ~

[kevseadog]

@TheTrainingWheels I love the 47. It has great flex, I mean you really can get into those carves and turns with it, and I weigh 190 lbs as well. As for ease of sliding, I can pull 360 slides on it, and 180 slides are a synch, but it is not a "tech slide board". It is tons of fun!

Hope that helps.

PM me with any further questions.

Peace.

[MrCatfish8]

Apex 47 better??

[asew50]

hey man beautiful board how does it dance?

[kevseadog]

@asew50 Thanks!

Dude it dances beautifully! Nice flex, plenty of room, and super responsive. One of the best boards I've ridden!

I like your vids by the way!

Peace.

[asew50]

@kevseadog my vids baha what vids i have 0 uploads :P

when i get a camera ima make so many longboarding vids :P

how much did you pay for your hypercarve?

[kevseadog]

@asew50 Hypercarves are $150 on the Gravity Skateboards ebsite, a steal in my opinion. This is a great dancer, carver, cruiser for sure.

I look foreward to your vids.

Peace.

[asew50]

@kevseadog thanks alot dude

[CaptainZombiee]

is this the blue curtain?

[zigzax123]

Im thinking about getting this board but cant decide between the 42 in and 47 in ,Any segestions and also would amazon be the best place to get this board?

[kevseadog]

@zigzax123 I have not tried the minicarve yet, but I love the hypercarve. I would say it depends on your style. I like a longer board to really walk the plank. Check the Gravity website for prices, I don't know if it'll be less to go through Amazon or not. This board is a blast.

Enjoy.

Peace.

[thegeraldsd]

Is it better to get 150s or 180s? I like to carve and maintain speeds on hills and cross step. Lots of people tell me 150s are unstable though.

[thenewguy461]

@thegeraldsd definitely get 150's. That is the size that the wheel cut outs were designed for.

[mattja94]

was this board big enough to do nice cross steps or am i better of getting the ED 55?

[kevseadog]

@mattja94 Oh yeah, it is a sure cross stepper. I wish I had gotten more boardwalking in the vid.

Peace

[mattja94]

@kevseadog thanks man

[kevseadog]

@mattja94 big cross steps all day long! You'll love this board. I have not ridden the 55 yet, but PM me if you wanna know more about the hypercarve.

Peace.

[kevseadog]

Thanks for the props!

I had my Gravity Hypercarve set up with Randal Downhill Trucks, Gravity Bearings, and alternated between Drifters and Hi Grades for wheels. The Hi Grades Bomb like a bat out of hell, and the drifters slide like butter!

Peace.

[murybcm]

[thenewguy461]

[DRON3KEA]
