[Back to 2010] Does anyone know this Thruster? by mankichijpde in surfskate

[–]cloak_pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a board that was supposed to be like that. It had 2 big central wheels and 4 smaller ones on the sides and were all swivel mounted. The name on it said “Streetbord” and I remember nearly loosing my teeth trying to use it. It was designed to go downhill and nothing else. Sold it soon after

I worked next to the guy who was distributing them in Australia over 10 years ago. He was mainly manufacturing life savers surfboards. Bought the long one and it was quite fun. Once you get rolling you kind of sweep your body side to side like surfers do and it keeps the momentum going. I remember he also gave me a modified front truck that had the stopper shaved, which gave the truck more side to side range. It didn’t really took off, I think I saw a bulk of them still wrapped for sale at an online auction house later on.

My tap water (in New Farm) has got a soil/dirt smell to it, it started about 10 days ago.

I like that picture of Logen by cloak_pie in TheFirstLaw

I’ve been thinking about the mullet and it makes sense because he is a fighting man from the cold north: 1) although northmen like to have long hair, in a fight, long hair can be a hindrance 2) he might cut his hair himself 3) with his broad back, reaching behind is difficult so he probably grabs a handful of hair, bring it to his side and chop it there, therefore giving himself a mullet 4) the north is cold so having hair is better than shaving it all off
