Indy's and Ace's are pretty good I can guess for cruising. For my street setup though, I much prefer Thunders. They turn better, but with control and on demand. So they're stable as well... Indy's don't turn as tight. Ace's have a good turn, but you have to set them so loose they'll become unstable and wobbly.
But this is of course more important if you're lining up for flip to ledge tricks, hehe..

Me and my little brother, the monkey. He's the star of this clip. He studies circus at a university of applied sciences, heh. Enjoy!
 

 
Few tries and he did a boardslide through that crazy curvy rail as well. Pretty good concerning he can't even properly ollie :)
 
Good session that day.

EDIT: Nice vid electropop! Thank you for sharing them. I might post some more of our's if theres any interest in this one :)
It's bout time I posted in this thread again! While I'm still a bit stiff from injuries, I have been back on the board and enjoying it! My friends and I have sorta formed a skateteam; I'm the camera guy since I don't know any tricks (/is ashamed...) and I don't want to be in the videos lolz. So far my dear friend Corn is the only one being sponsored (with free tshirts), this is the first vid using that sponsor: A Little Apparel . While the tricks aren't as impressive as electropop's lil bro, it is very funny, especially the dialog SO MAKE SURE YOU CAN HEAR IT WELL! Anyhoo, good luck pickin out which camera guy is me cause nearly 10 diff people helped shoot this. Enjoi!

 
Btw, if you liked the vid check out Corn's blog, full of lolworthy stuff!

Love watching skateboarding, ever since I was about 12 years old and saw this (I am 27 now) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ4AroHoBiE
 
I bought Emericas Stay Gold dvd when it was released about a month ago, and watch a tonne of skat related stuff.

If any of you havent seen or heard of "Epicly Later'd" then here it is: Scroll down for all of the episodes, there are interviews with around 30 or skaters.

Took out my Flip deck and Venture trucks for a spin last weekend to go and get the paper, on Saturday morning.  This weekend it was raining, so I didnt bother.

Oooh, thanks for that ghettoblaster flick. So nostalgic. I remember seeing the photo sequence of that massive 360 flip tailgrab in a transworld magazine and I believe that kinky 50-50 was an opening in a transworld movie.. Crazy.

My friend recently broke his fibula (it's in the leg yo) from wiping out really bad. He was jumping a 6ft+ volcano and had to bail because some little kid came out in front of him. What the heck? I mean, parents : Keep the kids out of the bowl. Now my friend can't even walk... Anyone else having this problem? Our park is overrun with these tiny kids (an it's a pretty hardcore park). Really, something should be done before a kid gets killed by a collision or something...

Absolutely love watching people skating lines and not just doing one trick down 20 different stairsets throughout different parts of America/Europe so when I found this I was so happy.
 
I love the gunshot blasts at the beginning where their name disappears.  No music, no bull, just skating.
Enjoy!

I switching to the dark side! Well, the long side I should say... I'm getting too old for regular skating... and I'm ready for something bigger, more mature (?). Here's what I have my eye on :http://dregsskateboards.com/i-5768422-42-fiberslide-101.html . I see a lot of my fellow college students riding longboards/ cruisers through campus (it's skateboard friendly :). Pair one of these with some super reds or swiss bones, and I'd have a sweet setup.
