I think Churchill boards were the Kilo TT before they stopped selling them on their website [apparently they will be selling on their site again soon.]

Any flex to the Kracked Skulls?

My older board had some flex but it was the standard board, my second one i added glass for less wood as an option. im around 180 and there is quite a bit of flex, i was lighter before... i can touch the sides to the ground through a hard turn. another reason i want 100mm + wheels that and going faster but so expensive....jesus
edit: i forgot, it was the "extra lite" option that i used on my second board. If i order another one from him in the future i wont do that again most likely a little to much flex for my weight.
the first one i didnt order with that.
I might get another m1 in the future.

Yeah the 900 Turbo is definitely porn territory.
I originally wanted the Sport Aero trim but settled for the luxery-ish Arc. Before I ever got into bikes I used to be a car modder, but after the Saab I gave it up and focused on bikes.
Sucks you wrecked your Volvo man. Not many people drive around in turbo Swedish cars these days.

I owned a 744 at one point and liked that too. sad story... someone ran a stop sign and i avoided them while going through a block wall instead...
i love motorcycles and eventually plan on getting another aprilia rsvr but if i get another car it will definitely be another 242 with a 302 sb conversion and a 5 speed.
light mods with a roller cam ect, lsd rear, super quiet exhaust with a electric bypass on the exhaust for those moments
quite as a mouse till a ricer pulls up and i flip a switch and you hear that hearty cam idle.

of course, the inline six that has been used for years by jeep is a workhorse. it goes and goes and goes.
Forgive me for asking but i used to really be into nissans and used to have memory for different engine models. is that a ca or sr engine? i cant remember....id ask if it was a ka series but i think they used those in trucks...

KA was used in 90s Altimas, pickup, 240sx, and I believe the Stanza (but I could be wrong, and how many Nissan Stanzas are still rolling around anyway).

As it is, the Jeep will get highway mileage in the mid twenties if you keep your foot out of it while the Sentra will pull down 40mpg at 120 kmh.
My last Sentra ran 1.1 million km on the previous version of that 1.6... it is another bulletproof engine.

I bought my kracked skulls years ago; it was a scimitar. Just checked their site again, and there's a whole lot more options for the ply now vs straight up plywood back then.
My first kracked skulls board had a bottom layer which apparently came from a piece of plywood that came from an area of the tree that was darn close to a massive knot hole; so the board essentially was missing a ply down the middle as far as rigidity goes and was super flexy. A friend of mine who also ordered one shortly after I bought mine, received one that was super rigid.
Ended up selling it on silverfish when I decided to scale back my collection of boards.
At the moment, I only have 2 longboards; the before-mentioned bustin strike and a loaded fish.

I'm poor and lacking in a driver's license. This is my other ride:
(I do have a sector 9 longboard as well, but that's something I got from my cousin who died two years ago)

2 years ago I traded this for a RAV4 because I couldn't even fit a full-size stroller in the back. It popped up in my Timehop feed this morning and I instantly felt a little sad, especially now that the stroller's long gone. There wasn't a parking space it couldn't fit in.
