Not only is longboarding with your Big Dummy (http://www.viks-bigdummy.com) uber fun - it's a great workout for at least one person!...:roflmao2::thumb:

Looks like way too much fun, Vik. :thumb:

Diggin' your buddy's deck setup, too. Would love to know what it is...

He's riding an old Sector 9 longboard. It's actually one of their shorter models - possibly a ladies version!...don't tell him that though...=-) I've got a couple longer decks that we'll try out this summer and see how they work.

BTW - one improvement we made was to add a heavy duty bungee cord at the back of the Big Dummy where we attach the tow webbing to the bike. This really helps take and sudden shocks out of the system which is great for the guy on the board as well as the bike driver.

BTW2 - he is talking about getting one of those all terrain mountain boards with pneumatic tires and suspension so we can get our tow on off-road....hopefully he pulls the trigger on that!

BTW #1: Swell idea on the bungee cord! I was wondering how the ride was for him in terms of the jerk-and-go effect. PWNED!
