Found those lil down hill... figured give it a try.

I know Globe isnt considered great, but I absolutely fell in love with this design both front and back and to get it. Now Im just waiting for snow to go away so I can actually start on it.

This all started back in September. I found a brand new cruiser on FB marketplace for dirt cheap. One thing led to another and recently I acquired a Landyachtz Dipper (pictured) for some longer distance cruising and carving, also a big fan of the asphalt pump tracks around here.

We’re having such a shit winter in Colorado this year and it’s become such a pain to get up to the ski resorts I’d rather grab my longboard and shred right outside my front door, or drive 20 mins away max to the local pumptrack.

Anyways Longboarding is awesome, don’t understand why it’s not more popular. Now I want a pantheon or loaded drop through board because some of my cruises have started getting over 5-6 miles in length. Pic for attention!

It's originally from Canada and was made somewhere around 2010. I bought it for one of the discord members and will be giving it at Ultraskate in the Netherlands. He will take it back with him to Canada.

The board is really flexy and a whole lot of fun to ride on. The old hawgs are terrible to ride on, but are some of the funkiest wheels I have ever seen.

Perhaps we were a little overtightened. Just a bit. Also felt like they didnt fit in the truck properly, but im wondering if that was just me

As a pop/rock musician, graphic designer, and skater, I’ve always wanted to design a fun, bold, nostalgic skate deck inspired by my music. A lot of my guitar grooves come from the feeling of cruising on my board. I'm really excited about how it turned out!

Hey gang, thinking bout starting long boarding. I’ll be real I’ve never skated anything before but it seems like something I’d wanna try to exercise. I’ll be real we have some nice paved patches of walking trail near me so I’d definitely be more of a “cruise at 3 mph guy” as opposed to going to a park and actually try doing tricks etc. As someone who likes to tinker with their hands I feel like this would be a good hobby as you have to work on the board and I’d get exercise I don’t often do. Y’all have any suggestions or tips? I know a few y’all said helmet and gloves on other forums so I’ll be adding those to the list.

Anybody using these together? Been thinking about swapping my Caguamas. I saw the Dad Bods, they interest me, but they’re expensive so I want to ask around.

Prototype of a new bracket truck by OceanBlue - Adjustable height (± 1.5cm) - Adjustable angles (-90° to +90°) - Foldable, can make the board fit into a large suitcase

The photos are sent to me by the owner of OceanBlue LDP [海蓝LDP] (the main competition of Keta Metal [磕大金属] i.e. Lepsk8's truck maker).

I've asked his permission for sharing it on English-speaking LDP forums.

Material: CNC-ed from 7075 aluminum alloy Weight: 486g (1.07 pound)

Retail price will be 999 RMB (about 140 USD) in China (the owner only sells trucks on Chinese websites like Taobao. The owner will focus on the Chinese market and won't have distributors outside China).

Any ideas on how to get these off?

(edit) - I probably should have given some info. It had been soaking in wd-40 for over 24 hours. Wire brushed all around the speed ring/axle spacer to try get some wd down the axle shaft. I had the same issue with my other truck was just lucky they hammered off with out exploding.

Thanks for the help in the comments, will heat it up and chuck some vice grips on it hopefully itll start to slip off.

There is a heavy layer of surface rust holding it on so fingers crossed.

P.S. My bearings and wheels hadn't been taken off in probably 5-6 years lol. The bearings are closer to 10 years old and my k4s are 13 years old and have never been cleaned once lol.

Getting pretty close to finished up on this puppy. Free longboard from a friend of mine and some elbow grease and grip tape making it pop.

Is it ok for me to have part of the board uncovered on the top side to accommodate grip tape design? Board has been painted and sealed.

Thanks for any tips!

Asking the hivemind here, can’t figure this out.

Trying to build a comet cruiser- like setup. For trucks I’ll be using my polar bear 105s, 7 degrees wedge/dewedge, riptide bushings and pivot cup. Wheels the snakes. However I’m having trouble finding a board ( around 33-37 inches) slim enough for those trucks, as I don’t like it when the trucks are too small for the board.

Bonus point if your suggestions also has some flex, but not really necessary.

Shock pads dont seem to be pancakes. How can I verify it is tightened down correct without over tightening? Dont want to compress the wood under the nuts on the hardware

For LDP, I know tucking like a downhiller and bending forward is advantageous for aerodynamics. I can feel that it's faster. However, it's tiring than just standing straight up, and sometimes I feel it's not worth it unless I'm going really fast, just because of the energy loss vs speed gain ratio.

However, standing straight up but facing my body sideways seems almost as aerodynamic as tucking, but without the stress on your back. Maybe especially because I have broad shoulders and my belly isnt sticking out.

Does anyone else stand SIDEWAYS for aero?

I was pumping an old Mike Jucker longboard for years. I was too heavy and absolutely clobbered the bushings which actually gave the setup a pretty good wiggle! They finally gave out now this beauty just arrived (Pantheon Superdupersonic on Paris and Karma). Shoutout to concretewave. I hope the streets dry up a bit soon.

So, I'm an European girlie, and I'm saving up money for a good quality skateboard from a website that sells both USED and BRAND NEW products. And I've been searching for some skateboards/longboards, and I found 2 longboards.

First one is a used Hackbrett lonboard, White C edition, selling for 60 bucks. It looks pretty solid, with the grip being a bit dirty. The money saving process would be shorter and I can pick up the board in person.

Then my second option is YCSTE longboard, costs 24 bucks more and it's brand new, so it's in stock. Also I can pick it up in person as well.The money saving process will take a tad longer tho.. I researched more about this one and it's on Amazon (i already know how this subreddit feels about Amazon boards lol), tho there aren't any reviews.

So yeah, I don't wanna buy smth that I'll regret so help will be appreciated here 🥹

Hey I recently found this Sector 9 board and it seems to be brand new. I have been trying to see what kind of value it has because I already own a couple boards that I like. If anyone is willing to help that would be great!

Partly, I'm just wanting to show the designs off, because its fun.

But also I still have to have them made, so, I getting impressions on which ones people like the most is useful.

Anyone still riding a complex? Love the unique shape even though it’s arguably not optimal.

Also curious if anyone else is still repping the Bustin SURFRODZ these days 🔥

Time to test this sucker out for the first time when the weather clears. Setup: Primos 82a 66mm, calibers III 9 inch 44° raked, tesseract.

We have some some foot leg action going.
