Resistance Trainer Skateboard for LDP And Long Distance Pushing.

After training for my first 26.2 mile Adrenalina Marathon Race. I decided to set up a resistance trainer skateboard for LDP and long distance pushing. This set up is to make you work out harder on this set up then your LDP race set up or long distance push race set up. After thinking about what would work I looked around at all the extra skateboard leftovers that I never use. Most of the time these things just collect dust instead for being used. For me I like to test out everything and make us out of it all. For most of you might think that using these things is just lame and gay. Why would you use any of this kind of stuff for anything. Well Sometimes people make skateboards,wheels,trucks,risers,bushings,bearings ,decks that can be used for more then one kind of us. We just need to except that as the evolution of skateboards,longboards,shortboards,things are going to change. Look at all the skate shops around the USA now they are all selling longboards as a main stream thing now. Four years ago this was not expectable. If we do not except this, skateboards will stay the way people want it. I feel sorry for these people because there is more to offer in this (Sport) that it is becoming. (Don't hate what you don't understand).

The History Of GriffinSK8

The History Of GriffinSK8
I have given you a vary brief description of what I have done on my web site. Now you will get to know me a little better. In 1992 I would go to my grand mothers house for Sunday dinner or come over to do the laundry and visit Grann's. One weekend I came over and went to a garage sale down the street. So I decided to go down and see what they had to sell. Walked into this house on La Jolla Blv and saw around five longboard skateboards leaning against the wall. There was a hand painted 9 ball on the board. The deck was made out of construction grade fir ply wood. I asked one of the guys if these where for sale he said no. But he did say I am starting a skateboard company I said me to. Sector 9 before they started out. In 1993 Sector 9 started the company and there work shop was a warehouse in Sorrento Valley. I got a summer job across the street from them, at a computer parts warehouse. I was asked to detail my boss's Porsche and watched the S9 boys pump out skateboards. I few years later I had a job in down town La Jolla. I lived in a one bedroom close to work, so I would skate to work all the time. I went to work at three in the afternoon and went the back way threw the alley, witch I never did. Next to the parking garage where five or six guys where hitting the garage that day. I rolled up on them and they gave me the nickname skater chef.
