Inexpensive skateboard

I can't say anything about price, but if I wanted a skateboard, I'd go to Freestyle.

Damage is a shop in Lincoln Park, about 18th W and Superior St, lakeside.

Get yourself some pads too.

As a geezer/skateboarder myself, I have to ask - are you looking to rip up the new Wheeler Field skatepark or just looking for some stylish transportation?

An unemployed database guy?  What is the world coming to?  Seriously.

@Resol, I'm not looking to do any crazy stuff, just stylish transportation and exercise.

@Huitz - I agree.

In that case I'd consider getting a longboard, which are smoother and faster (great for cruising - if you want to stay on the ground).  Or if you end up getting a freestyle (small f) board get the biggest softest wheels you can find. The poor pavement in Duluth makes a small-wheeled skateboard frustratingly slow.

+1 on big, soft wheels for cruising

I have a skateboard that I haven't used much.  If you are interested email me: [email protected]

Anyone know if capt. Dan is still putting out his Roadkill cruisers?

Longboard for sure.

In regards to the job thing: http://jobs.metafilter.com/ tends to have a lot of computer/web related jobs openings.. yeah none of it is in Duluth, but sometimes physical location matters less than ability with the interwebz and all.

I realize the overwhelming likelihood is it won't help at all, but just on the random chance it does.

Oh, and: Duluth Skateboarders GTFO.

Don't get a longboard.  You will look like a kook/fratboy/trustfundster.  Unless of coarse, you are one of the above.

I ride a longboard.

I am neither a kook, fratboy or trustfunder, and you'd be hard pressed to mistake me for one.
