I've been skating quite a bit recently. I can hands-down toeside 180 and I got my first standup speedcheck-ish thing the other day. I went out practicing my standies yesterday and I ate it pretty hard so I'm resting up now. I came up with a sort of idea that I'll have these things called Multi-Sectional Posts which is like a big fat post with a couple "mini-posts" inside of it.
I found out about a new board in Sector 9's Downhill Division Lineup, the S9 Tiffany. It's supposedly a custom for DBS' Scoot. Here's a pic of Scoot and his new board:
I don't know much about the specific specs, but I've heard it's got a tiny drop in the nose which could be nice. The shape also incorporates the Grease Shark (or is it hammer?) swallow-tail design. I'm looking forward to finding the actual specs.

The Next Section of this Multi-Sectional Post is the new Arbor 2012 lineup!
I found a neat thread on Silverfish so I'll just relay the information.
I definitely see a dropped-vugenhausen in longboard future! I also see a nice little double-kicked cruiser board up there too.

I've also gotten into watching Skate House Media videos and I found this interesting diagram on their website.
It was actually quite helpful. If you haven't already, I highly recommend watching some Skate House Media videos.
