• /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!

Thanksgiving break has officially begun! Kicked it off in the best way possible. Cruising around on my board brings so much peace of mind. Haven’t felt this way in a long time. Obviously I need to spend more time on my board (and not just when I’m on break).

💜

Used the Bear gen 6 inserts from pats riser, they were a really tight fit to a point I accidentally damaged the paint trying to get them level. But they feel amazing and can’t wait to test them out tomorrow when my new Pranayama arrives.

First off I want to apologize for the second post about the same board but this is my first time actually messing with all of this myself.

Some videos show that the starting point for adjusting the truck is when the washer isn’t movable by hand and some videos say it’s when the bolt is flush with the nylon tip of the nut. The problem is, to make it in line with the nut I have to tighten it quite a bit more than if the washer isn’t movable by hand and when it’s flush like this it feels too tight.

The videos saying that it should be flat with the end of the nut also say you should not make it any looser than this. I’m just having trouble figuring out the proper way to do this.

Just recently got a new board and noticed that all of these were loose so I went ahead and tightened them all as much as possible. Was that the right call

Rode my longboard all over my college campus for about 2 years on the same Space Ballz bearings. Served me well🫡

Bit of an odd request but if anyone can give me the dimensions of the pivot cups for Aera K5, Alsen, or skoa trucks, I'm designing my own trucks and those pivot cups look to be closest to what I need.
