Loaded
Just a post on the forum that has some truth to it.
when loaded first came out they were doing things nobody thought was possible. years went into developing these boards so they were completely unique from everything else on the market. back in 95 no boards had intentional flex, loaded innovated it. they also brought fiberglass composite boards into the market which now almost every company has. after that they brought the alternative to woods like baltic birch and oak, bamboo into the industry. in addition they made the cut out shape a very popular shape for carving boards, since you could use a much larger wheel, providing a smoother ride, and not have to worry about wheel bite. im not saying that every other company is copying loaded, im just saying loaded made the foundation for the massive change that is occurring in longboarding today
now other companies may have boards similar to and cheaper than loadeds, but when you pay for a loaded board not only are you buying a quality board that you know has been through some serious r&d, but you are also supporting a company that has and is still evolving longboarding into the sport that we know and love today.

Great Adventure
It turns out Adam wasn't the only person going to South America to skate, Paul Kent and Arron Enevoldsen are also going to be down there. Adam will actually be riding with them for a while so we'll most likely be hearing a bunch about him. You can read about their trip at the site below.

And here's the host site that will have all the fun info on the trip, as well as videos and pics.
long treks on skate decks
This whole thing sounds like one of the greatest adventures of all time, and i am really stoked about it. I didn't think we would be getting any info on it at all until Adam got back so im really glad he met up with these guys, this is sick.

Ceviche?
Not at all, but pretty close and its cheap. Not too sure how it compares to the Ceviche, but if you have 45 bucks laying around its worth a shot. check them out at xvdlongboards.com
Maryhill rreefide
A Maryhill freeride session is set for march 28 and 29, the event will cost 109 dallars and is only open to the first 90 or so riders to sign up. It's a closed freeride, so no prizes, just hay bales, EMT’s, safety workers, and shuttles. Timeship has also been able to get some companies to throw in some demo boards which you will be able to test throughout the weekend. the boards will be auctioned off at the end of the weekend and the proceeds will go to the City of Goldendale to help with the creation of a concrete skate park. Sounds like fun, wish i could go.
