Peculiar attitudes
Sometimes a response of any sort is the sole intent of aggravated attention seekers. It accentuates a desperate need for self-aggrandissement where only a lack of self-import exists. Mostly these cheap jibes come across at best as camp and petulent outbursts, at worst as seething points of self-loat...

Thanks Jani. The Indiana Big Chief was the first board on which I learned to pump back in '99 (before then we used to do tic-tac races) so it is interesting to see product development from the company that introduced me to the sport. Although I started on an Indiana, I found the Big Chief to be both...

Two simple things hindered the wide usage of the SL2002. Firstly the truck came with no user instructions to discuss comparable angle settings, dismantling and typical setup. It was a different design to that which was known to work, yet did not suggest itself to be any better than, for example, the...

Which means that there must be 997 equally complimentary on the back. Presumably right next to a large pile of misplaced daggers.
