  3. Newest Nelson Longboards Stingray prototype. Set up on 44* CALIBER TRUCK CO. trucks, 83a Orangatang Wheels Baluts, 87a/85a Venom Bushings. Gator-gripped and ready to rip, the concave, tail, waist & raised wells feel amazing. Now the damn rain just needs to stop! Can’t wait to shred this sexy deck. Dem curves!

    I’d like to get more into long distance skating, and decided to go for a longer ride today on the Dervish Sama as a workout. I was going more for speed and intensity than total overall distance, and I wanted to choose a route with a good mix of downhill and climbing to work on push and tuck endurance.
