Kevin Kennedy, at Gravity Skateboards, sent me a message about his new board, the 43″ Drop Kick  (which he designed!). As you’ve seen in some of their videos, Kevin (their sales manager) has a nice flowing style, and I’m sure this awesome board fits his riding perfectly.

I made a vow to not buy any new longboards this year (though I will replace wheels if needed). But if I were going to get a new board, this would be high on my list of boards to try.

Board, I christen thee...Peace Dog.

Oh, peace is a dirty word
She used to be a painted bird, yeah
And war, she’s a whore
Don’t you know we love her more and more?

Kick ass new Gravity Hi-Grades. 76mm of flowing goodness. Review is forthcoming...soon as the weather warms up a bit.

OK, got these sweet 76mm Gravity Hi-Grades (83a) from my brother-in-law Jason, for Christmas. Yeah, Jason is a good dude! Can’t wait until the weather is good enough to set these up and ride ‘em down a hill!

I have an extra set of Randal-IIs, so I’m thinking about setting them up on a Gravity Kalai. That would rip!

Chris Chaput is my hero. Thanks for making such excellent wheels, Chris!

Kinda stoked about these wheels. Would rather he kept them in the Retro brand, so they’d come in other colors, but green is good.

Kinda can’t wait to wear out my current wheels so I can justify buying some of these.

If the 72mm Freerides are awesome (and they are, which is why I own 4 sets), an extra 5mm can only mean one thing: more awesome.

I see that these are currently available here, at longboardskater.com.

Love this deck, created by Jedi Master Longboard Larry. Due has been hand-building innovative longboard decks for many years now. So rad…
