Was walking around GoodWill and found this board, looking on the underside and found this message. Seems pretty sad to find it in a GoodWill.

Fuck people who speed in a small ass town…

Hey guys so as you know a lot of roads are too bumpy, too busy, have too little of a shoulder, or are simply too dangerous to skate on. I personally have ate dirt one too many times trying to cruise down a road that simply wasn't well paved enough. I realized there was no tool that shows which roads are good for skating, so I decided to build one.

skateable allows you to simply click two points on a map and rate the smoothness and the safety of the road (or trail/path) between them. You can also view other people's ratings of existing routes and update them if you feel they're incorrect (such as when a road has recently been paved).

Lemme know any feedback you guys have and I hope y'all find this useful.

Adam Colton did crazy things with a longboard years ago. It was a trend for a short time, but what happened to "longboard dancing"?

I've had these babes for close to 20 years.

I used to streetluge back in the day, and have always had a longboard handy. The Libtech is a classic, I don't think they even make skateboards anymore. It's fiberglassed, so it's super stiff for being 48 inches long.

The streetluge is a Skateluge brand, my buddy was the proprietor. He had a few dozen made by a reputable skateboard manufacturer and sold them on his website along with a buttboard and his own products. It looks like a stip of bacon, but it's FAST and stable at speed. 13 plys of maple, so it's really heavy.

I'm an older guy now, but I can still carve it up pretty well. I still love pendulum style braking at speed.

Tester I got my first Pantheon board and I love it! It feels amazing although I'm quite a beginner but I'm having a lot of fun! After doing some practice I find it easier and more relaxed to push but still working on it. I tried to switch but it seemed impossible, I was looking for some videos about that and saw that people don't recommend mango! But I have seen that here on Reddit a couple of times. If you know some good videos to learn a good way of pushing and switching, please share those with me, thank you.

• /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!

It was waterlogged and isnt ride-able but makes nice wall art. Just pick it up. It would be a shame to throw in a dumpster. Ive had it on my wall for years but need to make room.
