Summer Samba


This is me skating in a parking lot at 1AM while listening to the “Something’s Gotta Give” soundtrack. I’m riding a Powell Peralta Caballero Reissue which, being designed for pool riding, is almost twice the weight of a street board. This was filmed with my GoPro which isn’t really designed to shoot at night. Hope you like it :]

    @138FrOsTy138 Oh yeah, a tailbone (plastic tail protector) will prevent razor tail. I ride 1/2″ risers so my wheels can be up to 65mm in diameter. What kind of riding do you do? I mostly skate driveways around my house, to the store, and bowls every once and a while.

    @138FrOsTy138 In this video I’m riding a Chinese Dragon which has mellow concave and a kicktail. In my other video “Just My Imagination” I’m riding the Mechanical Dragon which is a little thicker (i. e. heavier) has more aggressive concave, kicknose, and steeper tail. They are both really fun to ride. The Mechanical Dragon allows for more aggressive riding in the sence that your feet have more traction points on the deck but the Chinese dragon is better for cruising.

    @138FrOsTy138 Those are Bones SPF. They’re lightweight and a little slidey. The trucks are old Pivots off of a sector nine longboard. In one of my later videos I broke the kingpin so I’m probably gonna buy some indys.
