Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the way

One of the RHCP's best songs. The one that I like more this song is that it's an aggressive and rapid song. Recommended to go down the most quick with your longboard, but carefully!

 That enjoy it!

Parkway Drive - Carrion

Not comments...

THE FISH - Hamboards's new board

Hamboards following his typical line of taking the surf of longboard more classic (Walk the nose, hang have, back step) to the asphalt it has extracted a new board, the Fish, realized with wood, curiously, imported from Europe and painted to hand and signed, you can find her in three colors. With an impressive grasp thanks to his exclusive technology that does the functions of the sandpaper.
Of 4'5" x 17" It comes with a few trucks of 8 inches of width and with wheels ABEC11 and bearings Abec 7.

Rise Against - Make It Stop (September's Children)

Yeah, a great song of a great group. Make it stop (September's children) is one of the songs included in the last album of Rise Against, "Endgame". The song speaks to us about the mistreatment that is done to some children to the schools (bully). The video is impressive and hard enough, enclosed at the end of the song, they are nominated some of the children who have committed suicide because of this problem … I hope that they enjoy it!

Phantom Planet - California

California, undoubtedly a great song. The song is an honoring to California composed by the members of Phantom Planet, which are by the way, all of California. Ideal to cross the streets riding in our longboard.

Mumford and sons - White blank page

A great song of folk, relaxing and perfect to ride with your longboard.

Longboards Penny

The longboards Penny are a certification enjoyed so much by his image as by his functioning. It moves back a 70s and returns to re-live through the spirit old school. They have a great flex, it manages to return to feel those sensations of cruising and style that was created when the surf and the skate began. His limited size and weight do of the longboard Penny a table manageable and easy to transport (practically it fits to the rucksack).

How to do powerslide on longboard?

The technology of the powerslide is one of the basic technologies to go in longboard. One is a question to make skid the longboard with the aim to reduce speed, to take a very closed curve or simply to enjoy the art of skidding.

Later I leave a small tutorial them in order that they deal better about that it treats itself:



REMEMBER: Carve HARD! Lean into it. Keep most of the weight on your front foot. Turn your head in the direction that you want to turn and your body then legs will follow!

A lot of luck!

SPIES LIKE US

Ever since emerging onto the New England music scene in late 2008, Spies Like Us has left an lasting impression in the ears of their listeners and in the eyes of the crowd. Based out of Salem, NH they have worked tirelessly to establish themselves as one of the most sought after metal/post hardcore acts in the area.


Combining their many unique influences as individual musicians, SLU's powerful and melodic sound, combined with their brutal and engaging live show, makes them a truly unique sight to see.

Through their powerful live shows and the release of their first EP, entitled "Made of Mirrors" in 2009, Spies Like Us has stirred up a buzz in the New England area, and have earned the privilege of sharing the stage with many top name acts such as Four Year Strong (Decaydence), We Came As Romans (Equal Vision), Confide (Tragic Hero), The Acacia Strain (Prosthetic), Our Last Night (Epitaph), Vanna (Epitaph), Of Machines (Rise), as well as countless others.


Constantly determined to progress as a band, Spies Like Us has the music, the live show, and the work ethic that it takes to make it as a nationally recognized act. The future holds much for this group.  

 

Dictionary of the longboard

ABEC 11: Known brand of wheels. Not to confuse with the degree ABEC of the bearings.

ABEC: Measurement of the degree of tolerance (accuracy) in the measures of a bearing. There are habitual the ABEC 3, 5 and 7, being the latter more exactly constructed. The ABEC does not indicate the resistance to the tread of a bearing: an ABEC 3 can be more rapid than an ABEC 7.

REVERSED WING: It consists of placing the bascule part of the trucks upside-down of his standard position. Into some models it changes the behavior.

KINGPIN ANGLE: Inclination of the principal screw of the trucks. A more horizontal axis (60 º) turns more with the same inclination of the table - is more sensitive but less stable. A more vertical axis (35 º) turns less with the same inclination of the table - is stabler but less sensitive.




SOCKET-PANS: Necessary to prevent the nuts from rubbing the sealed one or the exterior track of the bearings.

AIR BREAK: To stop extending the position about increasing the aerodynamic resistance.


BASE: Piece that joins the bascule part of the axis with the table. It determines the angle of the kingpin or main screw.

BOMBING: To be stimulated in a longboard based on effecting drafts and constant counter-bills

BUSHINGS: Cylinders or cones of elastomer that regulate the force that it is necessary to exercise in the table in order that they turn the axes.

                                      

GRAVIT CENTER: Point in which we might concentrate the whole mass of the pilot without it was changing his behavior. The more high place is, the more unstable and the more transfer of weight takes place between the interior and exterior wheels in a curve.

COLEMAN: Type of yawing in longboard in that the table is placed rapidly perpendicularly to the road to stop and then it returns to put in his normal position.

CONCAVE: Degree of inclination of the wings of the table up to increase the inflexibility of the table, to avoid frets with the soil in closed drafts and to avoid slides of the foot.

DISTANCE BETWEEN TRUCKS: Distance between the front and back axis. It determines partly the stability, capacity of draft and distribution of weight of the vehicle.
 It is fundamental to understand the behavior of a long to understand what implies the separation between the trucks:
 Very united axes, I turn mas closed, minor stability, skate mas urban
 Very separated axes, I turn mas opened, major stability

HARDNESS OF THE WHEELS: Degree of hardness of a wheel. Shore measures up engrados. A higher shore (82A) indicates a harder wheel: minor takes hold, derrapaje easier, minor absorption of cibraciones and major speed if the asphalt is very smooth. A lower shore (75A) indicates a softer wheel: major grasp, derrapaje more bruso, better absorption of vibrations and minor speed if the asphalt is very smooth.

DECK: Table.

CONVEX DECK: Table that in rest has the central part higher than the forward and back. With our weight it is in the habit of becoming horizontal. We can use "re-vote" in the pumping.  

DECK DROP THROUGT: Type of construction of longboard in that the table has a few orifices that allow that the base of the axis should place over the same one, diminishing his height.

DROP DECK: Type of table in which the zone of the feet is lower than the zone of the anchorages of the trucks.

FIERCE WHEELS: You roll in that the wear does that the exterior part has less diameter than interior.

FLEX: Degree of flexion of the table under our weight in rest. If it is very rigid it loses grasp, if it is very soft loses precision.

FOOT BRAKE: Frenar haciendo rozar el pie en el suelo. 

GOOFY: To stop making rub the foot in the soil.

WHEEL FLIP: The sides change interior and exterior of a wheel to equalize the wear and to avoid that conifique. Only it can be done by symmetrical wheels.

KINGPIN: Screw that holds to the trucks (hanger) with the base (baseplate).

LIP: Corner of the wheel that touches the asphalt. A more straight lip gives more grasp with a more sudden skid and a rounded lip dá less takes hold but a more controlled skid.

NOSE: Front part of a longboard.

CORE: Central part of the wheel in which they agree the bearings.

PROFILE: Form of the wings of the wheel between the lip and the core. If there is very cut away (a "more "hollow" wheel) it allows major flexion improving the grasp repecto to a wheel less cut away ("more "massive").

PADS: Pieces of rubber that are inserted between the base of the axis and the table to raise the height of the same one. They absorb the vibrations.


TRODDEN: Part of the wheel that enters in touch with the asphalt.

REGULAR: I pilot of longboard that places ahead his left foot.

RR: Code that indicates that a bearing has both sides sealed with metallic plates, achieving the minor rubbing.

CERAMIC BEARINGS: Bearings in which the balls are of ceramic material instead of metallurgies.

BEARING: Piece that allows the draft of the wheels. It consists of interior track, exterior track, balls, cage and sealed.


 


SHAPE: Form, it is used habitually, to refer to the form of a table.

SHORE: Scale of measure of the degree of hardness of the uretano of the wheels. He accompanies of the letter "A". The higher, major hardness.

SPOT: Place adapted to practise

SLIDE:  Technology habiltual in longboard, To skid.

SLIDERS: Plates of plastic material (polyethylene) that are placed in the gloves of longboard to be able to drag the hand for the asphalt in pronounced curves.



 TAIL: Back part of a longboard.

TRUCK: Piece that joins the wheels with the table.

TUCK:  Position of the pilot who minimizes his aerodynamic resistance. In longboard the knee of the back leg comes closer the ankle of the forward and the arms are kept behind the back. In street sled the body is completely knocked down, the feet united and inclined towards ahead, the hands close to the body and the very low chin. It is in use in the downhill.

WHELLBITE: Disagreeable experience that is had when the wheel rubs the table in an extreme draft and that it is in the habit of leading to a fall.

WOBBLE: Over-excited oscillations of the table, generally to high speed, which is in the habit of ending in a fall. It's terrible! 

                                    


ZR: Code that indicates that a bearing has a side sealed with rubber and other one with metal.

ZZ: Code that indicates that a bearing has both sides sealed with rubber, is the most hermetic but it has more rubbing.

CLOSE YOUR EYES

Close Your Eyes is a band of hardcore melodic proceeding from Abilene, Texas. They signed for Victory Records and made début in 2010 with " We Will Overcome " and in October, 2011 they extracted his new qualified disc " Empty Hands and Heavy metal Hearts ". His first pop video was in the song " Song of broken " that was raised in Internet and in a little time they were coming to 2 million conference.


With " We Will Overcome ", which was thrown in 2010, they obtained good critical and good expectations and sold more than 12.000 copies. The band use three singles of this album to record his pop videos (" Song of broken ", " " and The body " serious Digging "). Since then, the band has done tours with "Underoath", " The World Alive ", " To Day To Remeber ", " Stick and Your Guns " and " Norm Jean ". Also they have touched in big festivals like Cornerstone Festival, Sonshine Festival, Ichthus Festival and Scream the Prayer Tour.

 

 
His song "Valleys" is the principal topic of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's 2011. A fighter's musical video Jeff Hardy centred on his history.

TILL WE DROP

Till We Drop is a band created in Budapest, Hungary, and his style moves in the Pop Punk, with metal touches and all the energy of the hardcore. The band was formed at the end of 2009.

 
Till We Drop recorded his first single "Twnty Two" in February, 2010, and just after his first concert, the famous brand of energetic drinks Monster Energy Drink bet for them and they signed an agreement to support them. In July of the same year, Monster filmed a promotional video with the band touching " Be Kind, Please Rewind! ".


After another tour with the group of punk rock The Idoru during the spring of 2011, TWD centred on finishing and recording his last disc " The Summer Triangle ", ten songs that offer us furthermore energy that in his last singles, was thrown last November 11, 2011.

Modalities

Carving: It is a way of skating, consists of advancing doing drafts to left side and right, getting drunk on the table, from a similar form to since it the medical instructors do snowboard, when they go down for a track of ski. It is possible to do in flat area, though the better thing is with a light slope in the sense of the march. If we go for the street, they can take advantage of the sloping planes that, occasionally we are in our way, as for example the income of garages, to do drafts. The longs most adapted for the carving, are those of an intermediate size (between 35 and 40 inches), with many flex and that turn well.


Downhill: It is a question of going down as rapidly as possible for very sloping roads, generally ports of mountain little travelled. It is a very dangerous modality, for what it becomes the use of protections indispensable adapted to avoid injuries in case of falls to great speed. Some skaters even use the same equipment that the motorists (integral and pretty hull of leather). It is important to dominate the technology of the sliding, to be able to reduce the speed in the entry of the curves. The suitable tables are more or less equal of long billiard cues that of carving (probably a bit more) but without flex, the axes, often are screwed over the table across a hole practised in this one, to lower the gravit center. Axes are used by a geometry that makes them stable.


Sliding: It started by being a technology and it has turned into a modality. As we said before it is used to reduce the speed of the skate, though also it is possible to do for the pleasure of skidding. To begin, it is possible to be easier to skid on a humid surface. It is a technology so spectacular as difficult. The tables are like those of the carving but with very hard wheels to reduce the adherence to the soil.


Cruising: It is not any more that to go from a site to other one, you catch your skate and to go away to where you want with. You can do it using the long as a way of transport or for fun. In the first case it is preferable to use small skates, which allow us to take them under the arm when we enter some side. In the second case, we can preestablecer the distance, depending on our preferences (carving, downhill, sliding …) and to choose the table in that more we are interested.


Slalom: Short tables are used to avoid cones, placed some in front of others, it as fast as possible. It is a very ancient modality, almost so much as the skateboard and that it needs of a great technical training for his correct execution.

  
Pool: It is to skate in swimming pools or bowls, there has much that to see with the origins of skate vertically. It is a question of rising and go down more doing drafts (without pivotar on the back axis) that of realizing tricks of coping or air. The tables are relatively short (from 29 to 34 inches) broad and with robust axes.


Dancing: It consists of dancing on the table, walking on her towards ahead and backward, rising and going down in march, jumping and everything what happens to you. The skates of dancing are the longest of all (of 45 inches in forward) and the best site to practise it is in a long and very smooth skating rink. In this modality it is where more variety of tricks they are realized and the most enterteining thing is a few tricks are connecting.

What is a longboard?

As the same name indicates treats itself about a long table, longer than a skate. The Longboards are use for lowering slopes, already be in careers, in slalom, or simply as way of transport. Stability, safety, and comfort grants to the broadest being more that skate normal. Normally it is compared by the surf or by the snowboard since it transmits the same sensations.
