lightning boards ??? any info ?

hey kids,

any body have any experience with this outfit ? looks interesting... also, anybody been to the longboard races at Plumas, Ca. ? looks like a hoot !!! thanks

Those are truly old-school ski's.

I have a pair of Bob's skis. Fun, stiff, good for pretty specific conditions, but definitely cool things to have strapped to your feet.

thanks, oft... do you have the longboards, or the new school sticks ? which model ? what conditions do they like ? yeah, these things want to be on my feet. i can tell...

I have Lunar Landers. When I bought them they were $165 shipped. Mine also have an inlaid walnut(?) strip down each side of the ski's top which apparently he doesn't do anymore. When I called him to order he happened to have a pair with metal instead of poly edges so I opted for those.

These are really cool skis, but - as you might imagine being solid wood - are EXTREMELY stiff. I'm 6'3", 190 and I have a hard time bending them when on them. That said, I tend to get them out a day or two each season in the springtime when I don't need the ski to deflect much. These are the ultimate mankbusting tool.

I've known of several people more aggro than I who have broken them. Like I say, they're good fun but for me not a daily driver. Good for meeting people on the chair though!
