Hallo there,
I cashed in most of my Christmas money on some new cool stuff. I was struggling to find an online shop that carried everything that I wanted, but I finally found Edge Boardshop which stocked everything I needed and more. They truly have the biggest online inventory I've seen so far. They had pretty fair prices too. I know I've been a strong Muir Believer, and I will continue buying boards from them, but I will also highly recommend Edge.
Down to the good stuff--- purchases. I cashed in on:
1- pack of Venom SHR 80a Barrels
1- pack of Venom Super Carves 81a Cones
1- Edge boardshop hat
1- Nersh Candies sticker 4"
1- Earthwing Sticker 9"
1- Pack of Edge Stickers
2- Ojoom Pucks
4- sheets of Edger Griptape
I also talked to 'prettynoiselab' on silverfish. He said he highly recommends Edger Griptape so I will put that product up to the test in due time.
I'd also like to give a quick shoutout to DHhoff for his semi-new longboard blog, The Longboard Forum. I found it on Silverfish and I thought I'd give him some trafficking.
I've been working on shutdown pendys and they seem to be going fine. Working on 2-hands down slides also. Kneepads have definitely saved my knees several times.

Miscellaneous Post!
Hallo
I've been doing research on bushings and slide pucks. I used the handy dandy Motion Boardshop Bushing Selector to pick some bushings. I wanted something to dial in for freeride, but still be able to carve and everything. I think I'm settling for the given freeride setup for 100-125 lbs. I'm going to order them from Muirskate or Motion Boardshop sometime.
I've been looking at slide pucks too. I wanted something that would be durable, and wouldn't ice out on me if I bail. I was looking towards Advanced Slide Labs Super Atoms, Black Velvet, and Ojoom.---- pics are at bottom of the post.
I haven't decided yet. ASL pucks are supposedly super icy because of a denser molecular structure, AKA, they are harder. Black Velvet are supposed to be durable. Ojoom pucks are kind of the all-around puck. (correct me if I'm wrong..) Ojooms actually look like butter.
KP has been sick lately, so he hasn't been posting that much.
ASL Super Atoms!
Black Velvet!
Ojoom!

Landyachtz '12
Hi all,
I've been riding my new FSMini and it's great. It's such a fun lil' board. I think I've got my toeside pre-drifts learned. I'm gonna go out and try some new pendys or something. I'm really trying to learn standies but I'm struggling to find a place I can go fast enough. I plan to buy some Edger or Vicious grip. (undecided which). I'm probably gonna purchase some new bushings and see how that goes, too.
I was on the 'fish a week or two ago and I said I'd find a pic of WOLFSHARK 2012. Well, instead of just finding the wolfshark, I found every other thing that landyachtz would be releasing. The more the merrier I suppose!
(I realize that the pics are a bit small, so click them to enlarge. You might have to look closely. sorry!)
I do not own any of these pics! Courtesy of Landyachtz Imgur Album.
Look at the contact patch of those biggie hawgs!!! Kyle Martin wheels are neat also.
DISCUSS! Looks like almost all of the new decks have new graphics. There seem to be some brand-new decks, too. The Switch Blade 36 looks pretty nice. The mini monster hawgs seem to have a translucent urethane too now. New trucks are cool too.
Looks like it's gonna be a good new year!
