Il primo longboard per un accanito di street, mio fratello vi da le sue opinioni riguardo una tavola ideale per chi comincia. "Premettendo che mi sono sempre cimentato nello street e che forse non ho le appropriate nozioni per descrivere i caratteri del mio long, proverò comunque a presentarvelo! OccyBamboo fa parte della nuova serie di tavole della Globe . Ho deciso di acquistarla perché è un modello accessibile e di buona qualità. La Occy non ha grandi dimensioni (misura solo 9" x 36") e a differenza di quanto mi aspettassi è robusta e abbastanza rigida. Ciò non mi allontana del tutto dal feeling delle tavole da street ma con ruote da 70 mm 83a, truck Slant RKP da 150 mm (con grafica a tema) e cuscinetti Globe abec 7 si guadagna molta fluidità e stabilità nel ride, riuscendo ancora a divertirsi grazie alla reattività dei truck non troppo larghi, al wheelbase contenuto e al piccolo kick. Le ruote dai bordi arrotondati la rendono
Depending on your style, this board can handle anything! Quite agile in the pool, yet stable bombing a hill (the 19"wb makes it sketchy but fun!). The nose and the tail are less steep than a common street deck to have a nice pop even with bigger wheels. Sliding and freeriding is extrimely fun and easy: I could work on my stand ups and find my stance as soon as I stepped on the board.

While chopping down two tall barrel bushings, we thought that the cut off rests could be reused to make a pair of plugs. The new generation of Calibers have a round KP hole, which makes the hangar free to lean. there is enough space to fit the plug, we just sanded a bit the paint on the bore. a new generation hangar on top and an old one below. After roughly cutting the bushing with a knife (definitely not the best way to do that!) we put the slice in the bushing seat. We marked the edges with a marker and trimmed with the knife again to the kp hole diameter. The slice is about 2/3 mm thick, we sanded and smoothed all the corners on the grip of a skateboard. May pe patient sanding little by little and checking oftet if the plug fits the hangar hole. we used a very hard bushing, which was easier to cut and sand, and may last longer. the plug in place, ready to ride The plug avoids side-to-side play in the hangar. Combined with a good tight pivot cup, it
