Are you new to longboarding? Start with our Wiki! Also, Please post your questions in the Daily General Thread!

I used it for about two and a half months and it is very durable. There was no flat spot or chunking at all. Usually, when I get close to the core, the ride quality deteriorates and I feel very unstable, so I replace the wheel with a new one at the right timing when the core starts to show faintly, but this one didn't do that until the end, so I was able to core two out of four during the session. It also has good stopping power and is suitable for mid-to-high-speed freeriding, but I can't compare the new snakes (yellow, blue) because I haven't used them. Even though it is a freeriding-shaped wheel, thanks to the square lip on the inside, there was enough grip when entering the initiation (is this called edge grip?) and I was able to confidently thrust deep. I am very much looking forward to Maveric from the same thane.

I've tried RKP's but I always go back to TKP trucks. Anyone else?

Found a gradual concrete slope in a backwater near my house. Trying out the new Slalocybins with Orangatang In Heat 80a - super stable. I tried the stretch further back up the hill but went too fast and had to glide and take right by the bridge and and head back up the hill.

"Your board sir, it will turn."

Last few days of the season rolling by…enjoy it while you can…

Just came in the mail today. Pantheon is definitely the Lexus of longboarding. Thanks, Jeff🙌🏼

Good luck racers in Nashville at US Slalom Championship!

I registered, I wasn't able to make it.

Hope be able to make a few races next year.

I went with Slalocybins on my reissue FibreFlex HH Sig. Going to tryout a few wheel sets before the rain/sleet/snow flies on 25 cone sets. Flat start with slight slope. See how it goes. Starting with the trucks set to narrowest spread. 100mm. Got Orangatang In Heat 75mm with 56mm patch 80a duro. Had the wheel on my long board. I had be skating this deck with Paris V2 150mm trucks and Fat Frees and it was pretty good. But seeing the narrow trucks and bigger wheels I had to try it out and see...

It looks pretty gnarly...

• /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!
