From top to bottom it’s a gbomb bossa rio, loaded Icarus, peralta flight deck, loaded fathom, girl board, and a 48” dancer from skateshred.

I started getting back into skating in January this year after an 18 year break and well.. I got bit by the bug hard.

My favorite is the bossa because sustained speed and pump/push is amazing for long distance. I’ve also hit some hills with it and it’s super stable. But I’m still just a newbie with hill bombing only just hit 32 mph the other day, the same session I did a 20 mile ride. Learned how to kick turn on half pipes the day before! Ah the journey has just begun. Let’s go!

so, inspired by recently posted kicktails fir supersonic o also decided to try one by myself. but as I usually carry the board by rear trucks, and now they will be doing kick stuff, I also 3d printed a front handle. looks a bit ugly, but I am really happy with how it works.

also plan to mount a light to the handle.

Was running 44s previously, shifting them to the omen buzzkill

i just wanted to tell you a story… well, all starts in the past year! i've been saving a lot of money to buy an skate-cruiser, i even studied almost everything about skateboarding, longboarding, surfskate, atv skateboards, etc. and, in May i achieved my goal of $180 so i searched a good place to buy my skate-cruiser, so i found the perfect place and the perfect option for me, it was an Leben cruiser, it was… beautiful, perfect, but my vacations were getting to it's end, and i wanted to buy an skate-cruiser (ATV) the fastest enough because i were a few days close to a journey to another city for 4 days and i wanted to bring an ATV skateboard with my, the case is: A Leben cruiser costs around $300 in the original page, but a skate shop in my city was selling one in $180, and they told me i could even change the bearings for a ceramic ones, but I had to wait a little because it arrived in April, like, in 2 weeks

In the other side, there was a reseller that brings them from USA to my country (bcus i dont live in USA), the one i saw was an Arbor Cucharon Legacy, it was in $169 and i can buy it in the next day, but I only had abec 7 bearings and the seller only allowed me to change the tires for softer ones, 78A (but those couldn't even slide).

In the end, because I was impatient, I bought the Arbor skateboard... and I lost the option of buying something much better, with bearings that would make me fly and would not be damaged by dust and moisture.

And now I really regret it because... I really wanted to learn to drift, and the Leben did have soft tires that could drift.

So, that's my story, and I wanted to tell her to get it off my chest and feel less sad about it.

In fact, I chose the Arbor skateboard because I had nose and I wanted to learn how to do very, very high ollies on a cruiser.

Well, good night everyone. 😊

• /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!
