December bonus locked in
I'm in a different economic position as I was years ago (I'm going to uni and to a full time job) so sadly I couldn't get exactly what I wanted BUT, these seem promising. I'm thinking about doing a review on the hurricanes since there is barely any on YouTube right now. All of this is for a prana with Paris 149 and future stylus trucks(the plug bushing) Happy holidays everyone 🙌

/r/longboarding's Weekly BUY/TRADE/SELL Thread - December 13, 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:
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!

Our season 2024: mediocre skating in low quality clips
14:11 UTC
Foldable Integrated Angle-Adjustable Precision Truck Prototype (OceanBlue)
This is sent to me by the owner of OceanBlue trucks, the main competition of Keda Metal (LepSk8 brand's truck manufacturer) in the budget precision truck scene in China.
(Note: OceanBlue's trucks are sold exclusively in China. It currently has no plan of expanding abroad.)
The angles go from 0 degree to 90 degrees, and by flipping a component it can go from 0 to -90 degrees, so you can set the rear to a negative angle. (The truck is integrated into the bracket, not a separate component)
It's retail price will be 800 RMB (110 USD), but will not available outside of China.

Meanwhile...snow everywhere and rolling with 80mm wheels are decent enough to roll over snows.
