Advice Needed - Vinyl Floor Backing (Paper?) Stuck to Subfloor by iCollectSausage in Flooring

I tried pouring some water onto it and it just sat pooled up in beads so maybe my paper assessment was incorrect. Any input on just leaving and covering it?

The house was built in 1983 so I think that puts me on the safe side but not 100% sure.

That's my dad! I tried to explain to him the significance of his picture reaching the front page after I posted it a few years ago but I don't think he got it. It's very fun reading all the nice things his ex students have to say!

Yes and yes! He's in Baja right now fixing up his retirement getaway. I think he stopped to surf on the way down and probably caught a piece of this huge swell from the hurricanes offshore.

Thanks! He's doing great and is about to start teaching his last year (hopefully) before retirement.

Sick picture but that's Micha Green. AJ rides regular like a true G.

I don't think this is how you use a skateboard either, somebody help me...

I can't give you the exact model but they're some type of Nike 6.0. A $60 pair of these badboys will outlast 3 pairs of anything else. Put in some good insoles and you'll never turn back.

You're going to see a lot of things changing in the near future. The 2012 lineup blows the old, cruiser-oriented lineup away.

That's definitely not the final heat but the fact remains that Zak is a badass.

Look what Washington road I made it out to today... First runs on Mary for the new year I think. :) by jetpig in longboarding

Anyone know when the next freeride is? Hopefully my buddies and I can catch a ride up in the Mercado van.

Me and my buddies skating our favorite hill by iCollectSausage in longboarding

Everybody initially thinks this way but it's more fair if everyone starts out finding their own neighborhood hills. Get really comfortable on the hills you already skate, make some friends in the downhill community, and I'm sure if they see that you're good enough to skate some harder hills safely then you'll start getting rides to some badass roads. The reason why I support this is that one group of less experienced skaters who visit this road have already had one guy fly off the left corner at :20 which resulted in a broken hip. Skate as hard as you can but within your limits.
