New Landyachtz Preview
While checking out Landyachtz website I found this preview for their new Feature Length Longboarding Film Coming This Spring!
I'd Also like to post some cool Landyachtz Equipment
Abec 11 Gumballs. Widest contact patch of any of Abec 11's wheels. The flexible lip makes the wheel grip insanely well around corners. Perfect for carving and bombing.
The Bamboo Dingy. Very Small Very light board made out of bamboo. Really Old school. Get some hard wheels on it and ride bowls like its the 70's.
Sunrisers. Risers for your board that have LED lights built in so you can have headlights to see and be seen at night.

Green Soda Longboard!
So recently I decided I was going to Repaint my longboard. While thinking about what I wanted to have painted on it some one said "Hey...Why not do some sorta Green Soda thing?". I was shocked that I hadn't already thought of that first. So after going through some sketches and different designs the final product is completed and ready to ride. (Artwork Done By Cassie Slack)

Graffiti Studio
Recently in the last few weeks I and fellow members of Green Soda have discovered a really great program called "Graffiti Studio". I thought I should post this because it's a good fun way to waste time on a computer. It's basically just a virtual graffiti studio where you can spray paint your own tags on anything from trains to helicopters! Below is a link to the site where you can download this program free of charge.

MINI LONGBOARD
This is how I made my mini longboard.
I traced out the shape.
I cut out the traced board.
I used a belt sander to get the edges nice and smooth.
Put the trucks on and away you go.

Animal Bmx "insight"
When I saw those couple of sick longboard videos. I felt the need to post a BMX video. Anyway heres a video I came across today by Animal.
Longboard Tricks
Amazing video of a guy doing some crazy shit on a longboard. After messing around on my longboard trying tricks it seemed impossible to actually do many big tricks so when I saw this video I was shocked at how much of a failure I apparently am.
Snow Be Gone!
As you may or may-not have noticed we have lost a lot of snow in the past 2 days. Biking season is in full effect. Went out riding today to find that more than double the spots are now clear of snow. Even Orangevilles very own skate park's street side is snow free. Today I did see a few skateboards out, I think that it was for transportation only.
Heres a nice shot of Orangevilles, Stefan May 180 of the black box on broadway.
