Awesome Jim! We honeymooned in Thailand. Beautiful place -- I don't recall the road conditions too well, but I'm sure you'll have much to say about that soon!

Great ride, and great cause.

I´ve been offer full sponsorship from Rollsrolls, Subsonicskateboards and Hackbrett. Hackbrett will make me a custom board if I want.
Rayne has been offering me 40% off on a dee-lite.

Anyone out there how can help me in which board I shall choose? Have someone been riding subsonics for long-distance?

I talked to Hackbrett yesterday and this is what he said.

we dont build lowriders ourselves, we could propably get landyachtz to sponsor an evo or a dually or a spud or a switch. we could then make it light by replacing some of the wood with foam and carbon wrap it. we can make them even lighter than the carbon evo.

What do you guys think about that, is it a good idea or should I go for a raven or a rollsrolls woody?

I haven´t decided yet, but if it will be a landy I will ride with a hybrid switch with foam and carbon. Anyone who´s ride this board?
