Mindless Wreather - review
Here's finally my new longboard deck, a freeride drop through switch deck, with deep concave. It's very similar to the Landyachtz Nine Two Five, but with a slightely longer wheelbase, and I think a bit heavier too. I bought this deck because it has a simple deep conceve, no camber, no "bacon" wood forming, enough tail and nose; it's simmetrical and its shape avoids wheelbites; I can test drop and top mount; it's stiff; it's the lenght I like; there's a nice three colors graphic. I didn't buy this deck for its bamboo ply (does it affect the stiffness?) nor for its brand. lenght 101.6cm / 40 inches width 25.4cm / 10 inches wheelbase 81.9cm / 32.25 inches construction top ply light bamboo, 6-ply canadian maple core, bottom ply smoked zebra stripe bamboo recommended max weight 130kg / 280lbs ouch! Little imperfections... I'm not a pro skater, but i...
Il parco dei mostri di Bomarzo
It looks like a mix beetween indian and greek myths, an italian garden created in mid XVI century and forgotten till the 50s
Paris-Orléans
I've been riding my bicycle through wide and windy fields in a beautiful desert day of october. I followed the départementale 49 from Paris to Orléans for 150km. Orléans by night
Slide gloves
I made a pair of slide gloves for longboarding. What i used is work gloves, velcro, neoprene glue and nylon pucks - 95x75x30 mm -. Actually I'm not sure if I bought nylon (AB) or policarbonate (PC) ... I don't even know the difference! I read on the net that any "plastic" gives you different performances. I tested plexiglass and it's very slidy and hard, it doesn't warm even on thick pucks. The new pucks are softer. I smoothed the bottomside edges and scratched the upside face to glue it better to the velcro. The glue seemed to work good on the glove, quite well on the pluck. Since it's gummy it should hold for long time. Velcro works great; maybe the pucks are too fat, but i don't have problems to grab the board during the slides
