Swedish road trip

Here's a few shots from my trip to Sweden, stunning views but rough roads (damn snow tyres). More shots to come of the longboarders I met, unfortunately when we were getting pissed, not skating.



Experiment

I wanted to see if you can turn a super stable DH deck into a super pumping city cruiser using a carving undercarriage .

Here it is, Phil's DH and my Seismics with a 45° front plate (white springs) and a 30° back plate (red springs) plus a little wedge in the front.

Outcome: It works! Good fun, pumps like a dream and so low you can almost walk with one foot on the board through crowds. Just watch out for speed bumps, sorry Phil.





Verdict: I still love my spooky!
