Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

i really want to put some 90mm wheels on it, i cant whip it around like i could with my last longboard due to it having more flex, actually quite a bit more.

love it though.

its a kracked skulls longboard.

Today, I am studying for a chem test that is super easy. I'm studying because I'm bored and can't sleep this early yet. What is life.

Well those things are built for stability at downhill speeds. So the closest I can think of are the land speed record attempt bikes as ridden by such people as Jean Claude Rude.

MKS Sylvan touring pedals put in this morning. Much better than the stock pedals/straps which are horrible. I rode those for a month and couldnt stand it any longer.
