It’s holding up well!

I’ve been putting a ton of miles on the “upper decker shidowtaker”. It does it all quite well. Distance, freeride, downhill, pumping around town… I’m really happy with this deck, I might make more. Ride the upper deck!

Anyone else have any useless talents?

Apparently I’m from California, not New York according to my local Florida crackhead.

/r/longboarding's Weekly BUY/TRADE/SELL Thread - May 17, 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!

Loaded dervish and pintail uniquegrip tape

Bought a loaded Deborah and pintail for $60 Canadian each a month or so ago and they both seemed to just have the spray grip on top that was well worn so I bought some black and clear grip tape and did my own designs on top. Was fun. Pintail was meh but I like how the simple the dentist came out

Here’s my quiver!

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!

Yet another kicktail for supersonic, but with handle this time.

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.

Hi everyone…

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. 😊
