I think that nosewheelie,com has info on pumping. I liken it to (roller) skating. Compress into the turn. Push off the diaginal towards the the center line.

Hey everyone, hope all is well among you.
My thoughts and meditations are with Jarrett and Marvin in their struggles, as I'm sure is the case with most on this site.
On a happier note, my board arrived a few days ago and after two quick rides, I've found myself addicted. I'm sort of confused about how to "pump" to keep up my speed on flats, though. Any hints and methods? I tried a search, but all I found was random references to the word, not any techniques.
Thanks to all and Lateron
~Matt

At a local freestyle skate park on the weekend I met a fellow
downhiller, Claud from Sth Africa, who whipped out his Gravity
stick and we surfed a couple of mellow runs in the hills.
Hi Claud if you're reading these posts!
We want to find other downhillers in Christchurch New Zealand
and get a bit of a social thing going here, ie. organise a few
runs, so anyone interested please email me.

Would love to go to ASR but am having difficulties getting passes. As far as concrete parks go, if you're staying in Long Beach, go to Van's park at The Block in Orange, if you don't mind a bit more of a drive go to Van's Onterio Mill's park in Onterio, For a great indoor, not concrete park, but a bit of a drive, go to Skatelab in Simi Valley. If you want a skate at your own risk, thrill, go to nearby Signal Hill and ride down the original, Signal Hill.
What ever you do have fun...and hey, great web page.

I noticed i forgot the last names, Marvin Malzhan and Jarret "Doc Go Fast" Ewanek, both very experienced downhill riders, (speedboarding,streetluge, buttboarding, and gravity bikes) i saw them again earlier tonight, and they both are improving, but Jarret still has a long way to go.

Ouch! I hate hearing about lugers getting hurt. Jarret wouldn't be Doc Go Fast would it. I don't know MArvin. Again even with all the saftey equipment it still can happen. If it's who I think it is then he is a damn good rider very experienced but you can still mess youself up. Get well soon guys. I don't pray much at all but i'll do it for you guys.

For those that pray, please keep Marvin and Jarret in your prayers. They were injured in a streetluge accident yesterday. Marvin broke several vertebrae in his mid back,Jarret broke all the vertebrae from his neck to mid back as well as several ribs. Neither are paralyzed and in good spirits. More info will be posted later....

Sorry to disapoint you Soul School, but I've yet to step foot on my board, as IT is travelling across the country (in a UPS truck!)And, I might add, my butt has been shivering in 13 degree weather, with more snow on the way!!

Matt,
I wish you luck on your trip across the U.S. on your skate, but If you're headed into PA from CA you're in for a rude awakening. You will literally be a human popsicle on a stick! Cold, cold, my friend. I'm gonna go ahead and give you the benefit of the dought that you already know this and
that you brought extra layers of clothing for your trek.I believe this journey was last done in the early 80's on short boards.So thumbs up, and better you than me! Keep us posted on your progress if you can. L8er hardcore.

-As my board is making its long trek cross-country from
San Clemente, Ca to McKnightstown, Pa, I'm forced to resort
to the pages of this site to keep my longboarding fire fueled
(which is pretty touch indeed with 6" of snow on the ground!)
Anyway, what do yas' think of the freeride marvin?
Strengths? Weaknesses? And much thanks to D.T. for the
hook-up!
Lateron

Hey DT, brah...
Man, I'm sorry (and that goes to all you guys who read previous posts of mine and took offense), I got no excuses...brothas!
You know how it is... I was getting cool with a sweet chick (no offense cat, or any other girls reading), and flirted I suppose... I didn't think it was a problem coz it carried on so long... sorry!
Man, how many more appologies do you guys want, eh?
But if any of you guys have a problem with me, I'd appreciate it if you came to me with your complaints... and not DT, he's a friend of mine and I'd rather not put my mates into awkward situations or handle any gripes you guys have for me! I have full respect for my friends and I'd allways help them out... sorry to put you in that position DT.
Listen, I'm a nice guy really, I just get a bit carried away...
So get back to the valleys... coz Burkhart is in town! (just to wind up all the idiots who think Me, Hizzout and DT are talkin gangsta... check your roots, brotha, take a trip to the 'North Shore'- Occy's appearances are classic, in a gay kinda way!)
YOURS GROVELLINGLY
FUZZ

P.S. My knees are chaffing from all the slug-like squirming and grovelling I've been doing... please show mercy! SPARE ME!

Hey,
Has anyone out there ever ridden one of those "FREEBORDS". I met a guy today who helped design 'em and I checked out the website with videos etc. It looks a lot like plowing on a snowboard, but I didn't see any proud edging. I'd be curious to try one out, but I'm psyched on my Fibreflex. It jus didn't look like this new gizmo could compare to a longboard.
Nothing like sportin 44 inches of WOOD!!! Oh Yeah

Oh yeah... I don't agree with the review of "Gravity team travels". It is way too new school in my opinion! Where is all the carving?

I am the new assitant webmaster.
now listen to what i have to say and maybe try to understand where i'm coming from....
Evo,
I have had several e-mails sent to me, complaining about fuzz and cat... at 3 AM i get on this site to try and remedy this situation, keep in mind i work 2 jobs, go to college, monitor this web page, am writing an article for another web page, am selling products over the internet, i do NOT have a home - so i dont always have access to a cpu, and am trying to prepare for a speedboarding race this weekend. Your post was moved on ACCIDENT, and I APOLOGISE (did i spell that right?) but when your staring at a screen at 3am on 4 hours sleep from the night before you tend to make MISTAKES. and i had to get up at 8 AM this morning for a job interview. i am not asking you to agree with me, but to understand my actions.
Skate For Fun,
D.T.
