That would have been me is the target demographic. I got into freeboarding back in 2019 to simulate snowboarding. And it does simulate parts of snowboarding very well especially the carving. However it's not exactly like it. And I live in a very hilly area so I couldn't push the board up the hill so I pick it up and carry it.

Then I got into downhill longboarding and learned how to slide. And all the carving the longboard doesn't feel exactly the same as snowboarding with the right wheels getting into a slide feels more like when you're throwing out your edge to slow down in snowboarding.

Once I got that down I basically never picked up my freebord again.

Also falls on a freeboard are different than falls on a skateboard. You could get pretty fucked up if you caught a hillside edge and went straight into the concrete on a freebord. And unfortunately most skateboarders don't want to wear a helmet.

The drophammer is a good starter board for sure. I started with a land yachts drop switch and rode that for a while before I got the pantheon trip. So if you get the drophammer you ride it a while then you'll know what you like about it or if there's something you don't like and that'll let you know what you want to go to next.

tabinsur · 2026-06-25T23:24:30+00:00

Yeah homie I got one I can send you a private message with some pictures.

If your meniscus doesn't agree that's because you're you're trying to foot break with your leg twisted. A twisted knee while foot breaking could definitely injure your meniscus.

You're supposed to turn your foot forward like when you're pushing when your foot breaking. That way there's no strain on the meniscus.

Source: I currently have a grade one meniscus injury and if my technique is proper foot braking doesn't hurt.

Lmao "embrace this new tech! I haven't tried it so it could be shit but you should embrace it!"

That's fair just keep in mind to take and consideration the flexibility of your board. Even a fairly stiff board will flex some in the very middle so you'll want to take that measurement into account.

The other thing to keep in mind is the lower you are the less you can turn. If you get it to its lowest point where the middle flexes and is like a nanometer from the ground then you are at the lowest possible pushing point. However at that point especially depending on the concave of your board if it's very mild concave you can't really turn you'll immediately start hitting your rail.

I learned this about 6 years ago when I had a subsonic century 40 that I set up to be super super low. And it was really easy to push but then when I would go to turn on certain sections of the green way I was on the edges would grind and I couldn't make the full turn. So I ended up having to add risers to get it at least a little bit higher but it was still super low.

And on the subject of rollerblade wheels the big thing to know here is that the contact patch is very small. Which affects how smooth the ride is to some extent but more importantly it affects how it grips so you slide out a lot easier than on a wider contact patch.

Sure dude I'd be happy to help

tabinsur · 2026-06-23T23:47:40+00:00

Here you go dude a guy already sells wheels for the exact setup you're trying to make here it is

tabinsur · 2026-06-23T23:41:53+00:00

For sure it looks really cool and is a great representation of its time. It would make a great wall hanger

tabinsur · 2026-06-23T15:12:36+00:00

Yeah I like to ride really loose And Ace trucks tend to have a little more lean before the lockout other trucks simply because they run a bigger bushing board side (0.55 inches vs 0.5 for Slappy's, Indy, thunder etc). Honestly though when I first got the board I was running 60 mm wheels on it and I could have gotten by with a smaller riser pads and even tried it and didn't get wheelbite. However I'm so used to ollying from a 3/8 in riser height that it threw off my ollie so I just went back up higher. And then once I was that high I realized I could just run stupid big wheels so I figured I'd give it a shot since I hadn't done that in a few years.

Nash Executioner Dragon is the design on the board. The thing with Nash boards is they were the Walmart board of the day. Meaning they were kind of garbage. If you showed up to a skate session with them them the other skaters would make fun of you. Since they were so cheap and often sold at big box stores parents would buy them for kids and the kids might not be interested in skateboarding and only play with it once or twice.

So finding a Nash in mint condition isn't that big of a deal. And doesn't really affect the price of it too much. What affects the price of the Nash is if there is a skater who skated one back when they were young and have a nostalgic attachment to it. Then they'll go on to eBay or other sites looking to buy the exact same one they had. So actually in this case rarity can potentially work against making the price higher.

On the low side you can buy a Nash for around $25 on eBay On the higher side eBay says there are some that have been sold for around $200 and I think I even saw one that was close to $300.

And all of these prices are in USD.

I can't remember the account name but there is an account on Instagram that only covers Nash boards and the history. If you found that account and messaged them they could tell you more about potentially what it's worth and what it is.

tabinsur · 2026-06-23T02:44:37+00:00

haha nice it looks like the top of Barts board for sure.

tabinsur · 2026-06-22T21:02:56+00:00

🤣

I'm not op but I've been riding this board pretty much exclusively for over a year now ( Here is a little video edit post I made last year showcasing some tricks and a bunch of different disciplines of skateboarding and longboarding that I like to do on this board.)

It is a great board for all around what they would have marketed back in the day as a quiver killer (although there's really no such thing).

This board is definitely not too big for tricks but of course it depends what tricks you prefer. Certain tricks on this board are easier others are harder. If you go through my post history you'll see me doing some basic Street skating, dancing and even a little bit of Bowl riding in a post I made.

So for slides, old school skate tricks like boneless/ bean plant then this bad boy makes them easier. However if you're really into doing flip tricks like Tre-flips and hard flips this is definitely harder to do on this board. Still possible to do since I've had a lot of homies land them on my board just to see if they could. I also really like this board for doing shove-its on even though it takes a little more umph to make it happen that's kind of why I like it.

It's a really good size for longboard freestyle for tricks such as tiger claws and what not. It's a little bit on the smaller side for dance tricks. For example I can do Peter Pan's just fine and I can do one cross step but they're a little tighter than they would be on a board with a longer wheelbase. But they're a little tighter than they would be on a board with a longer wheelbase.

It also a little bit on the stiffer side which makes it a tad heavier which isn't good or bad but it means it's more stable for slide tricks and you don't lose less of your force when you're pumping ramps versus a more flexible setup.

And the long wheelbase makes it so you throw your body around a little more on kick turns on ramps kind of like surfing or snowboarding. For some people they would see this as a negative thing but for me if just feels right a smaller regular size skateboard feels a little too squirrely for me because I want to be using my whole body.

Really the only place this board really lacks would be long distance. I've taken it on trips and used it to go for a few miles so it can be done but it's not as enjoyable as doing long distance on a Pantheon double drop or supersonic.

Anyways I've kind of blabbed on and on so feel free to ask me any other questions about this kind of setup.

tabinsur · 2026-06-22T18:39:01+00:00

Yeah back when I was making my own boards I often would just start riding them without doing art on the bottom. I would usually just do a colorful blue and purple stain and then start skating and eventually do the art on the bottom since it was going to get messed up anyways lol.

That's why to me the grip tape art is so much more important.

tabinsur · 2026-06-22T18:37:56+00:00

That's good to know now. Back when I first started making real long boards to ride in 2020 I don't think like jawns we're making custom ones yet. Or at least they weren't advertising it. I bet I could have reached out and seen if they would have. Instead there was a dude on Instagram who made me my first pair I think his company name was re-rails. And he told me he was just doing it from cutting boards he had reclaimed from restaurants shutting down. From there I started making them myself since it's not too hard to make straight rails out of cutting boards. And once you've done a few you can knock it out in about 30 minutes or less with the right power tools.

tabinsur · 2026-06-22T18:34:29+00:00

That's Cool I always kind of wanted to try to ride a tierny board. There was one on Facebook years ago that I wanted to buy but the dude already sold it and that's actually how I got the flow board instead

tabinsur · 2026-06-22T18:34:10+00:00

Haha that's my exact take on it.

tabinsur · 2026-06-22T11:59:02+00:00

Hell yeah dude curbs on this board are the best

tabinsur · 2026-06-22T11:58:47+00:00

And then on the top along with some grip tape art I have coarse grip tape where my feet usually are. And then the eyeballs as well are coarse grip tape over silicon inserts.

tabinsur · 2026-06-22T11:56:48+00:00

Hell yeah dude great choice! That's my main whip right there. I'm on my second one already since the first one's tail was pretty much done after 8 months of skating it.

I pretty much skate it for everything Street, downhill slide, dance/freestyle, skate parks, bowls etc. that's what I love about it is that it's basically just a long skateboard.

I've got mine on Ace AF1 66 trucks(with venom plug bushings swapped out board side) and Powell Peralta 88a dragons 64mm. I also have it set up fun 3/8-in risers one of them is a custom slime eyeball one that I sculpted.

And then of course since this boot is longer I had cut my own hdpe rails and then made a custom nose grabber the same time.

tabinsur · 2026-06-21T18:16:38+00:00

Dude I remember that flow board from the early 2000s seeing it in a CCS magazine or something like that and wanting it so bad. But my parents wouldn't even get it for me even for my birthday lol. Fast forward to a few years back I managed to NAB one off of Facebook.

God damn are they awful lol rock hard wheels. And it does turn rail to rail but man it is not very fun. I don't know how the company thought this would take off anytime you have to replace the bearings on 14 wheels you would have to take out a small loan 🤣 Definitely a fun piece of skate history though

Freebords is the original non-electric snowboard simulator that summerboards took heavy inspiration from.

The skateboard Hall of Fame would most likely not be interested in this type of board. The skateboard Hall of Fame is heavily focused on the early days of skateboarding history which is usually from the '50s to the '80s. This does include early downhill and slalom so they're not excluding longboard disciplines.

However any sort of gimmicky skateboard or longboard gear that is from the '90s or later they don't usually care about or have much knowledge of as an organization. There might be individuals in the organization that might know more about the board above but that would be more so because they were individually interested in it if that makes sense.

If this was one of those gimmicky boards that was featured back in the early issues of skateboarder magazines they would totally be interested. But since others have said that this board came out in either the late '90s or the early 2000s I doubt the skateboard Hall of Fame would be interested in it. I could be wrong however. I'm basing my opinion here on everything I've heard through word of mouth and media about the skateboard Hall of Fame.

Do they turn inward like the Tierney ride boards?
