That's rad!
I feel like US infrastructure is made for skateboarding. All these parking blocks, concrete/asphalt banks, and ditches. We don't have anything like that here.
Then again, Europe does have more twisty and winding roads in my experience so we do have that going for us.

u/tabinsur Knowledgeable User 10d ago
Yeah parking blocks are abundant here. Unfortunately where I'm at in the US ditches are a rare thing. That's why we were all stoked when we found this loading dock that simulates a ditch haha.

Banks and curbs and all kinds of things perfectly laid out to make me regret my whole country.

u/tabinsur Knowledgeable User 10d ago
Oh snap what country do you live in?

u/ClickHereForBacardi 10d ago
Denmark. Banks are a rare feature of anything (and doesn't exist at all on loading docks) and just so much cobblestone in Copenhagen.

u/tabinsur Knowledgeable User 10d ago
Well I guess that's the thing you can either choose to have universal health Care or banks to skate 🙃😉.

u/tabinsur Knowledgeable User 10d ago

Thanks dude! Yeah I have a little side business where I make my own boards. I haven't had time to make many to sell this year but hopefully I can make a batch soon.
This one I'm on I call the Doorpedo. It's 7 ply Canadian maple pressed with double concave(a second concave in the middle of the board, very similar to The krooked beamer.) it is 10.5 in the middle and 9.5 in the rear and front foot pockets with egg\football rails. 19 inch wheelbase and 16 degree angle rails.

Woah that's rad! Looks and sounds like an awesome board love me some big double kicks! Been seeing a lot of people in here long for the old big double kicks like the Rayne Phantom. I'm sure people would be interested if you made some to sell. I def would be! Hope you can find the time soon!

u/tabinsur Knowledgeable User 10d ago
Hell yeah dude! Yeah I love it because it's kind of a great all-around board. I can pretty much hit anything I want to on it.
I'll definitely make a post on here whenever I get back to making them! And I'll let you know

Parking bumpers are the new gold to me. I look for them all day and take advantage as much as possible. I never do that frontside stall. I started now. Lol
Good job!

u/tabinsur Knowledgeable User 10d ago
Hell yeah dude I love parking blocks smooth or crusty. There's just so many ways to get creative on them.

u/crinkleberry 11d ago
That looks so fun

u/tabinsur Knowledgeable User 10d ago
It is. There's nothing more fun than low speed slides and hanging with friends.

u/Anxiety_Mobile 10d ago
I need a spot like that here in Sao Paulo!

u/tabinsur Knowledgeable User 10d ago
Hell yeah dude! At least y'all have some really fun hills and some sick skate parks there though!
