Made in the USA

A 36” deck that I built for a customer. Dark wood is called Wenge and the lighter wood is beech. The beech is inflated into the Wenge.

First ride on the new Pantheon Trip Carbon. Perth, Australia.

Paris V3, riptide cannon/cones 85a, seismic speed vents mint 80a. The thing just rolls and rolls, even keeps up with electric longboards on the flats. So much fun crusing along the coastline on this thing.

/r/longboarding's Weekly BUY/TRADE/SELL Thread - January 31, 2025

  • /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!

Fixing up a gifted board

I got it second hand, my friend used it as their first board and passed it to me when I started. Now I work in a skate shop and decided to fix it up. Replaced the abec-5 bearings with abec-7 and put some lightly used (but new to me) trucks that aren't plastic lol. I have a sector 9 with butterballs as my main cruiser, but it's nice to have an extra one around 😁

Optimal Outlaw

At a local spot called Schlub Club with my Moonshine Outlaw today. Shoutout my roommate Will for telling me I can swap Paris V3 and Caliber V2/3 hangers and baseplates around, 165s definitely tighten this board up a lot.

All y'all riding other LDP decks are sleeping on the Ember

Thanks for making this thing Jeff. By far the coolest deck you make.

✅ Kicktail ✅ Narrow ✅ Little less low than Pranayama so you can navigate through the city better

With love, @wrongboarding

Inside look - Pantheon vibes

This may or may not be your thing, but here’s a little inside peak into the “morning routine” before boards start getting packed.

Hoping to do more videos like this with our riders this year. Got an awesome one with Lisa Peters in the works!
