Took some inspiration for these footstops! Slightly modified the Loaded Tailnub design for foot stops on my drop through board.

/r/longboarding's Weekly BUY/TRADE/SELL Thread - May 10, 2024

  • /r/longboarding and its' moderators are in NO WAY responsible for ANY issues encountered while Buying, Trading or Selling items.

Below is an example of a good post:

  • RAD Advantage 80a

  • 30USD

  • Location: Manila, Philippines

  • 74mm, 58mm Contact Patch

  • 8/10 Condition

  • NO Flatspots, NO coning

  • Slight chunking on the lip

  • Worn down to ~73mm

    As a SELLER:

  • Post your State/Country and where you are willing to ship to.

  • Post a description that accurately describes what you are selling. Be as descriptive as possible!

  • Post both the item condition, and pictures of the item.

  • Be prepared to answer questions about your items!

  • Update your thread when something gets sold, or is no longer available.

  • Be prepared to handle shipping arrangements. While it's perfectly fine to ask for extra cash for shipping, ensure you already know the approximate cost for anyone who asks.

  • Be careful with your personal information.

  • Once you've successfully completed the transaction, and your buyer has received the item, ask them to add you to the VERIFIED LIST

As a BUYER:

  • Respond to the seller's communication

  • Be truthful about your intentions. Nothing is worse for a seller than answering a whole lot of questions about gear, and then having a buyer drop off the map.

  • Be careful with your personal information.

  • Once you've successfully completed the transaction, and you have received your item, add your seller to the VERIFIED LIST

  • And some final suggestions to make this easier for everyone involved:

  • PayPal is the recommended way to transfer cash. However, the choice is up to you, and your buyer.

  • Please try to evaluate a fair price for your items. Secondhand prices are always hard to evaluate, but here are some tips to find a good price:

  • Take a look at online stores to work out the MSRP. Don't expect to make this unless your item is new.

  • Consider the wear on the item.

  • Consider the age of the item. Even if they're still in the box, 10 year old bearings aren't worth much...

    Happy Selling!

Summer skies

Checked out this single track private road for a run. Real nice surface and no traffic. It leads to a farm and a seldom visited historic monument.

Longboard making weird noise

Hello! I am brand new to longboarding and my back left wheel/truck is making a weird rattling noise. I'm unsure what it could be and would love some suggestions! I have a Retrospec Rift I believe.

It's like my bonfire from Dark Souls

I wish I could spend souls to level my stats.... I'd kill people to get better at skateboarding, I think. You probably would to. Take a random person's life to tre flip instantly, land it every time. Tell me you wouldn't.

Safety first

I realized that the visor of the helmet is useful to protect the face in case of an accident.
