@surfersnowlongboard its not how good the board is, its how good the rider is. boards dont help you ride better. 99% rider 1% board/setup. the avenger is no more "stable or nimble" than any other dh freeride board out there, its just another enjoyable freeride dh deckfrom rayne . trust me, i have one. and riding it with james setup makes it no better. riding a pros setup will not help you to do 30 foot standups going 60kph. skills and balls, however, will.
You don't go pro, just because of the setup, but belive me.. there is a huge difference!! I think the setup is something you need to find out by your selves, i can only ride (good) with my own setup, or boards that are similar to mine.. :)
Just ordered the Durian Freerides for my board and I hope to head out and continue sliding. Not much to do here in VA but I still hold it down as much as I can. I burned through my other set of wheels in like 2 months and said screw it Im goin with the Orangs =]
it's tuna. in malibu area. it's a one-way road perfect for dhing. i've been there multiple times and the malibu area is just perfect for longboarding.
mm, but then again the filmer is jackson shapiera, who is rather good at speedboarding, not sure about now, but he was ranked 10th on the IGSA rankings :). and an aussie
Its a long boarding wheel meant for a certain style of riding, where the wheel will be able to slide controllably but not giving up some grip when needed.
Going down a hill doesn't entail downhill. It's how you ride down the hill. If james rode like this when he was doing DH as in racing, he would loose nearly every heat. Def. losing in style, but still losing.
For races it's an avenger deelite but he's been seen on many other boards, dervish, tien-tien, civeche. He used to race an evo, but that's before he was sponsored. He also used to race a sector nine bomb-hills he custom cut and put smokies. on. Avenger isn't symetrical, james is just an awesome rider.
@fieryunicorn3 haha! he's riding regular. insane right?
