Omen Pike

This week im going to be telling you about the new board i am getting called the omen pike. You can buy th omen pike as either a drop through or a top mount, i am going to get the top mount so i have more kicks to free ride. The omen pike is a good looking board it has 2 large kicks which will be good for more tricks it has a sick pattern on the bottom. It is going to cost me $210 just for the deck which some people think is expensive but for a good board its not and other boards cost sometimes twice as much as that. There is also another omen b oard which is called Carbon Matrix which is $365 it looks alot like the omen pike it is only top mount but it also would handle better.

Apex 40

If you want to start learning how to do tricks and just free ride, i think the best board to get is the apex 40. This board is exspensive but it is also one of the best and you get what you paid for. This board has good kicks and it is top mount and drop through. The kicks on this board help for all kinds of tricks weather it be just manualling or kickflips or shovets anything this board can do. Also the deck looks good and is well balanced for example if you try maualling on this it will balance itself out and make it easier to manual, where with other boards you have to hold it and try a bit harder to keep the manual going. Down the bottom is the URL for the Apex 40 video which show you all the things you can do on this board.

Longboard wheels

This week Im going to tell you a little bit about what longboard wheels i would prefer to get and what ones i wouldnt want to get and why. The first ones which are  my favourite and probaly the most common which are orangatang wheels, they have alot of different ones which are: 4president, Fat free, In heat, Durian, Stimulus and my favourites Balut's. The reason i would prefer orangatang wheels is because to me they are more slidy so you can get better slides, they are also smooth and good for just riding on. There are also wheels that arent made for longboards but people put them on longboards which are Z-flex wheels and Penny wheels. They are both made for cruiser boards but people put them on there board sometimes because thats all they have or because they are really slidy and you can get huge slides out of them but they wear down really quickly.

Drift Triking - Longboarding

Hey guys I am going to be bringing in longboarding to my blog, And am going to be telling you abit about the boards, trucks, wheels and bearings you should get. The are some similarities between drift triking and longboarding. Like on a longboard you can slide which is like drifting on a trike, and you are using the same parts of your body to do it and almost the same technique to do the slides. The only difference in the technique is that you are sitting down for a drift trike and standing up for a longboard. The wheels are both slidy but drift trike wheels are made of plastic, where longboard wheels are usually made of urethane.

Drifting in the Rain.

Drift triking in the rain is fun and makes the drifting alot easier. If you want to get your slides to last longer doing it in the rain is a good time to do it. If you want to do tricks besides sliding and drifting try doing 360's. To do a 360 you have to do a normal slide but instead of holding the drift you continue pushing until it spins all the way around. You probably wont get it on your first go, but if you want to get it quicker do it in the rain. It makes it easier to spin around without the wheels gripping to the road.

What's Needed:

• A good helmet (Pro Tec, Hurley)These helmets are better than ones you buy at kmart, therefor better for pretection.
• Kneepads, if you want them.They are good for if you come off the trike you wont get really bad grazes.
• A drift trike, not one you pick up from kmart. It has to be custom made, to suite the way you trike or a huffy slide. they are good and you can change the wheels and other parts to suit you.
• Good wheels to get are green machine wheels are good because they slide good and dont grip to the road. If possible dont make your own wheels because there are never the best way to go.


• A good hill atleast 45 degrees, its better if the road is smoother, Must be a closed circuit. The smoother the road the easier it is to slide. and if its not a closed circuit you have the chance of getting hit by a car.
