Longboarding - Dignity Ark

Me taking my Landyachtz Drop Hammer board out for a spin, both before and after my new wheels. Footage was shot outside my house, and cruising around Grant MacEwan college in Edmonton, AB. Been boarding for about a month, and decided I should get some filming done. Comments & ideas are welcome!
P.S. sorry the song cut out about 2 seconds before the end on this page. It was fine on the original, but clipped here. Next time, I'll get it right!

Looked amasing board, but why the f.uck don't they have the tale on both sides? Its useless for tricks if not..

[Reinos]

@Ingve1234 it's not built for tricks as it's main purpose. besides, you can still do plenty with it, even though it's main purpose is to be a compact bombing/cruising board. my only complaint is that it's really stiff, but I tend to prefer really springy boards now.

haha epic, thanks! I definitely need to get caught up on my boardspeak.

I have too many hobbies to get to put in much effort during the short-ish Canadian summers. next year, planning on going for another push at really improving my ability to ride switch, then get with the slides. all in good time. after all, the only person I have to impress is myself if I'm not being paid to do it :P

[slyinsider]

can u do any slides?

just wondering if i should be able to do them yet

thanks

[Reinos]

@slyinsider oh man, not nearly! but that's not my priority. I may learn eventually, but I won't be doing it with these wheels. I'd rather learn with a slightly harder duro wheel and a centred wheel with rounded edges so it's easier to control into a slide. I set mine up to grip well in sharper turns 'cos I set my trucks really loose, almost to the point to where they wobble. skate how you want, not how you're told you should. have fun with it!

I don't understand why people have the urge to be dicks on youtube.

[Reinos]

@MrBusmonkey actually, I do know how, and I pride myself on knowing the spelling and taxonomy of words. however, these are supposed to be spelled orangatang. that's how the makers of the wheels chose to spell it, so either check your facts or shut it. also, use full words, like "you"

lastly, it's people like you who use the word retard in a derogatory way that makes it a bad thing. retardation is not a joke, so back off, plzkthx!

@ghostface185 a good commuter would be a loaded ceviche or a landyachtz switch 37

(v)Just like the guy below me(v) I need a longboard for school.. So i was wondering if this board is okay for that. ( i dont have any hills on my way to school )

[ghostface185]

How much is a good longboard? Thought about getting one to ride to school since i constantly miss my bus and run to school.
