  • TL:DR - where do people buy shit now?

    Long version:

    So this happened the other day. After owning this little thing forever I used it again. Last time was Jan ‘23 and before that who knows? Pretty sure it was a Shiner warehouse clear-out around 2005?

    Anyway. Now I’m in that ‘mid-late 30’s’ and living in flat Devizes, I fancy a good long wide pool/pig deck.

    At some point I’ll get all my longboards from the loft at the parents’ house.

    Where do people order things online now? I fancy a Santa Cruz reissue style pig deck.

    Should I just wait til I’m somewhere like Bath or wherever still has a shop?

    I want to support local, but sod paying 200% markup on Bones Reds.

  • Yea that would be great, looks like the modern evolution of the original Slide prototype I bought from them in like…2005?

    They’re out of stock at Lush at the mo. Emailed them to ask when it’ll be back in stock. Last time I emailed the guys was about 2006 shortly after their move to Bristol!

    Ordered that Mindless deck but concerned the wheels are just too small for my riding style (lazy, cruising, commuting) so we’ll see if I get something big and gummy once it arrives or if I save toward the Lush complete.

    There’s a Heroin Egg III and also a Crusher on ebay. They look pretty cool for being much wider pig decks.

    This thing is so damn tiny, it’s concave which helps, and running Avalons so it laughs at stones. Can’t wait to ride something with room to move feet around again though.
