Dumb Ways To Die

Our new video of our not so great skating moments. A good laugh for sure!

Wipe Out

WIPE OUT!

I skated a local parking garage all the way down and at the end I wiped out! =[ Other than that, it was a great ride and my first time down a parking garage!

Before I Knew How To Skate...

Epic Fail!


Above is a link to a video from back before I really started getting good at riding. It was wreck after wreck after wreck!

Blizzard? No problem!

In this video, we had just had a "blizzard" as the news called it, so there was no where for us to go skate besides a fully covered parking garage. It took a while to find one since our normal garage we skate at was all snowy, but we found a great one and got some good practice in!

DIY Sliding Gloves: PART 2. Victory in pomegranate land

Finally! We made gloves we were happy with. Also, we found an easy way to apply wax to the gloves. This cut down on the amount of damage done to the puck and it smells great. It's like we are boarding through pomegranate land. Thanks sentsy! Haha ;)

DIY Sliding Gloves: PART 1. Trial and error

Our sliding glove project involved a lot of trial and error. It stared out with several sets of gloves and round PVC pipe. We were hoping that the curve in the PVC pipe would elevate our hands enough we could make a less bulky glove. Also, several sliding gloves for sale had finger pucks and flat palm pieces, but grabs were more difficult. We wanted it all!! Here are some pics of the process. While making the gloves we went to try them out to see where adjustments needed to be made. The first couple sets of gloves stuck to the pavement causing a choppy ride or just tossed you off the board. You can watch us try out the gloves on the videos page.
