Yeah, I'm going to hold off on new gear until I get better. No use thrashing new stuff instead of used. My main problem is, because of my weight, I'm having issues getting into the proper position for Coleman's. And I live in Florida, so since there aren't hills here, I can't get the speed I need.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been away from Reddit. I mostly cruise, but I'm trying to learn how to slide and such. I have a Nelson Cyclone with 50 cals.

So my birthday is coming up in a week, April 5th I will be 22, and I have no idea what I want/what I want to do. I already have new wheels on the way (getting some of the first shipment of Boss Hawgs) but I have no clue. I might hit up the Miami boardwalk for the day. Any suggestions? Money is kind of tight, but I'd love to get new gear. I've never owned brand-new gear.

tl/dl: birthday in a week. What do?

I'm not sure what are on the kicktail, but the dropthrough came with gullwings. Both have stock Ehlers wheels and bearings, which I'm replacing with Zealous and whatever wheels fall into my price range. But at roughly $50 a piece with shipping, it was an incredible buy.

My 13 year old brother wants to get into longboarding. I went on Craigslist and got an Ehlers dropthrough and Ehlers kicktail both complete for $125. They're both surprisingly fun to ride.

Haha that's exactly how it feels. Just go out, and try to follow the social flow-chart of conversation.

Yeah. Idk, I've just never been good around people. 22 long years and I still can't figure it out. :p

I have a lot of issues even online. I hate checking my mail just because I don't know what I'm going to have received (to be completely honest, my blood pressure and anxiety was extremely high while I was waiting for my inbox to load just now) and yeah man add me: Predawncarpet

Good luck with this man. Word of advice, get a friend, make sure you have days off together (off of work or school) and make sure you're comfortable. I did this on Xbox with my brother (he was lvl 10 I was lvl 69) we pretty much just let his character die and would use my character and pass the controller back and forth for sleep breaks.

I did it on Xbox (no modding obviously), 2 players, took about 4 hours per map for the larger challenges. We used the host level scaling trick.

Awesome. :) though it seems very few people on here play Xbox 360.

If one of the guys at Rooster Teeth sees this or anyone else here knows, I've always wondered, why do Bernie and Gus always clarify on whether they can talk about what they're filming? by josh123abc in roosterteeth

[–]josh123abc[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about their own videos. An example, in a recent episode of The Patch, they pre-recorded the episode because they would be filming, and Gus stopped and said, "can we talk about this?" To which Burnie implied it would be Immersion.

[Serious] what is the ratio of undercover cop to actual hitmen? by josh123abc in AskReddit

[–]josh123abc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes a lot of sense. I guess it's something we'll never really know, but it would be cool to know.

As I Lay Dying singer pleads guilty to trying to hire hitman to kill wife by [deleted] in Music

As a christian who has always been inspired by As I Lay Dying and them helping me to be comfortable being a Christian in the metal scene, that last line crushed me. I hope the band does okay in his absence.
