cheers mate
wow, theyre pretty expensive ay.
I been looking at getting some "carver" trucks (which are basically the same but from the usa), but i cant find anywhere that stocks them in the uk either. The carver ones look a bit cheaper and shipping should be less from america.

nah that was my problem, my m8 had all the protective gear and i had none, and after falling on a little hill, i thought to myself "I can do this no problem" so went up the biggest hill i could see and bombed down it. I was actually doing well till i got near the bottom and saw a bunch of rocks and tried to pull an air off one of them. cant remeber what happend after that, all i know is i woke up sat in his car with a banging headache.

So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.
