My trusty Alva Cruiser 😍 - Reissue 70's Tony Alva signature deck - Bennett Vector trucks - Tunnel Rocks wheels - and a "wedge" for breaking #tonyalva #alvaskateboards #bennettvector #bennetttrucks #tunnelrocks #tunnelwheels #alvadeck

When we were young, going to the park meant basketball, football, running around, skateboarding, rollerblading, throwing a frisbee or just bumming around. I was at the park near my house yesterday and all I could see are kids balancing on a small motorized contraptions, there is no physical work, it is like a Segway while they are texting on their cellphones. What happened! Am I growing too old? I pulled out one of my favorite boards , the flexdex grenade 23. Removed the side set tunnel rocks and gave the double shielded Abec 11 bearings a good cleaning and open a pack of fresh abec11 grippins 70 mm 81a centerset wheels The board already runs on 1/2 inch hard risers. I took the nade out for a spin and my god the carving is buttery for such a short board. I only need soft risers as the bigger wheels transmit more vibration than the side set tunnels. Ahhhh! Beats any motorized smart crappy balance board! #rant#grumpyoldman #longboard #flexdex#grenade23 #tunnelrocks #abec11#grippins #skateboarding
