These are heaps of fun. The original trucks are great for carving along a path.

Hamboards Classic 6'6"
Originals, 90mm wheels, roll on anything and you can paddle them.
You can cross step, nose ride, face plant.




I had to bring it in from the States, they now have a QLD seller.

Horrendously expensive but worth it.
Go next door, then look in the Lonely Guy's annex.

Yep wasn't cheap, but I have a top speed of 30kmh and can maintain 20-22kmh for 5kms (GPS verified - had it the pocket) without pushing and get to do forehand and backhand deep carves when just having fun. It can be HEAPS cheaper with just a Bennett front and Tracker rear truck and they work really well.

The brackets change the angle of the kingpin and really do change the feel of the board. I also went stiffer bushings at the back and softer at the front compared with what came with the Poppies.

First vid is the cruise pump/carve, second is the speed wiggle (nowhere near as stylish).





If you have crappy knees and ankles like me that make riding a bike or jogging painful, then this is a decent workout for the thighs and core. The 85mm wheels I have make most stones not "stop rocks". I have fallen over throwing a big carve on wet pavement, but not from a stone.

When I use it for carving downhill I dewedge the rear heaps (its very dead for pumping usually).

LDP - the fun, cool thing for broken down middle age men who don't care what others think.

wear a helmet

oh and cutting up in a car park or netball court is great fun.
