Longboarding is slowly growing as a sport, and I think we should all be stoked for that! The sport is being pushed and expanded into many different types of directions, and it's not always just cruising and carving anymore. No matter what sport you do, there's always going to be that kid that thinks his deck, or whatever else, is broken because of a minor chip or maintenance problem. Don't let something like this ruin it for you. Remember, the nature of longboarding is to go out and have fun.

@originalskateboards 11 жыл бұрын

That was one of the custom prototypes that we were rocking prior to the release of the DiamondDrop last September. Remember that this video came out before the board was released so a lot of the riding you see here was on proto boards (though many of them were production identical aside from the paint and artwork).

Hey Banga, the short mini is called the Derringer 28, we just re-released it in July but it is one of the classic decks that we first brought out back in the spring of 2003 (our first video ever, in 2005, has a ton of Derringer footage in it). I whole heatedly recommend the deck to anyone looking for a fun little cruiser carver.

It is. There are actually two Original topmounts one behind the other. The first is clearly being expertly piloted by the Zero; Brett Ciabattini while the second symmetrical version that comes immediately after is under Carl Knights feet.

Symmetrical Topmount is just behind the Arbiter 36 Asymm version (which will be out next week, or there abouts). We were hoping to get them both out in September but it will be tight to get the Maven 35 out by the end of the month.

The Pintail is all maple while the Derringer actually uses the same materials (sans carbon) as the Apex. Ie. the Derringer is a performance mini developed using our best performing construction, not just an after thought. I think it is one of the more fun, more playful, decks we have ever put out there and it is still one of my favorites for messing around on flats / small hills.

Hey wouter, There are quite a few boards in this vid, lots of Apex 40 DiamondDrops a Derringer 28 here or there and a few Arbiter 36es. Each is good for a different reason which is why you see these riders swapping boards for different riding styles. What sort of riding do you want to do? Also how tall / heavy are you?

We longboard because it gives us a feeling that isn't quite the same as riding a street deck. Some people will argue that it's all the same, but put yourself on a longboard and cruise around for a bit and you'll most likely be hooked. It happened to all of us, and it's this feeling that keeps us coming back for more. We longboard because it makes us never want to stop. You might be able to get a similar feeling on a street board, but it's a completely different experience. Shred on! - Bish

A few of them are. The asymmetrical topmount is the Arbiter 36 while the symmetrical is the Maven 35. The Arbiter comes out today (probably late in the day) while the Maven is about 2 weeks out.

@originalskateboards 11 жыл бұрын

It will be back this fall along with the additional DK Apex 37 concave options that are releasing next month (September). Keep your eyes out, we needed to get the concaves dialed before the flexes would translate. Now that we have those nearly finished we have started working on the flex to get the additional flex options back on the market.

I believe that is the Derringer 28! You are talking about the red one with the red wheels right? It's one of our carving specific mini's, lots of fun on flats or for carving smaller hills. Made of fiberglass so it's got a positive flex which is great for that stuff.

The mini is the Derringer 28, came out in July. The Apex diamond drop is on the way and pretty close to release, we have all of the product photography shot and are working on the website as we speak. Next week is my guess though the memorial day holiday may get in the way.

Dutch actually headed home with us after the trip and ended up working with us at Original for almost a year after we were back. That said he wasnt happy here in New Jersey and went back home to Montana. Last I heard he actually moved over to Europe which would be pretty awesome if that was the case.

The Apex and the Freerides are the two most versatile boards that we have had in our quivers here at Original over the last year or so. Obviously there are other boards (both from Original and elsewhere) that we ride but honestly the majority of what we have done has been on those two. That said the two new topmounts are taking a solid slot in highspeed freeride / downhil, they are out being ridden by the team (making appearances in this video) and set for release in September.

That'll be the Derringer 28. 28 x 9 inches, quad axial fiberglass for a snappy flex, geared to be a pure carver for flatland and small hills. Super fun little deck for when you don't want to carry something big.

The guys on the team like em a lot. They are more carvy than a lot of the trucks out there so they match well with the Derringers flex. I usually rock Original S8s when I pull out my Derringer but I have had a lot of fun on Bears and Calibers, I would imagine Paris would be great.

We have a few videos coming out in the future! As for the Apex 40, it really depends on the type of riding you're looking to do. It's a pretty big board if you're looking to use it for freestyle tricks at your height. You would be better off with the 34 or waiting for the Apex 37. As for the nose guards, you need to drill them into the board to mount them properly.

Hey, The diamond drop is rad because it's designed for many styles of riding, with high speed freeride as its main focus. It's build to withstand intense impact, while holding its shape for a VERY long time. The drop keeps your feet super locked in during slides, while the nose/kick tails allow for some freestyle variation. Hope this helps! - Bish

Looks like mostly the asym topmount proto (the Maven 35) but there are other decks mixed in there. With so many boards coming out at this point riders are just riding which ever they like. Bish for instance still prefers the DoubleConcave, within the crew on this video some prefer one topmount to another or prefer the DiamondDrop to either. Starting to be more about personal preference for us here at Original, which is a good thing.

Yep. The Penny deck is 21 or so inches long. The Penny Nickle is 27 inches long but only has a very short wheelbase. The Derringer is both longer (28 inches long), wider (9 inches wide) and more beefy with almost the entire deck being wheelbase (that means you will get a big board feel out of a tiny deck, unlike the ride you get on the pennys). Basically its a more serious carving solution even though its a smaller board (for us).

1:58 is one of our favorites all time, the Derringer 28. This was actually the very first concaved / cambered fiberglass deck we created back in 2004. While there are a ton of boards that are better for sliding, and a ton of concaves better for downhill, the Derringer is still my favorite for carving and just messing around. The new version in this vid just came out in July. I think we have a new derringer vid coming out soon so keep an eye out.

Hey! The Pintail 37 would be a great choice for what you're looking to do and your size. You could also go with the Pintail 40 if you want a wider stance. Sometimes going with the longer board helps when you're just starting out so that you don't have to worry too much about your foot placement. -Lindsay
