Selling my Wolfshark deck! Very good condition, minor wear and sun fade from use/age. Have too many boards, don't use this and really need cash. Asking $200 OBO, meet up in Socal or pay shipping.

Whaddduppp

My roommate and I have been doing 10 mile shots to wrap up weekends lately. Today we set his new PR at 22. Definitely had more in the tank, but soooomebody wanted to go do 4th of July stuff, instead of skate more miles hahaha.

We passed a momma brown bear and her cub, on the other side of the trail. I took that picture as quickly as I could, while rolling thru that area. Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica.

We started pumping practice on my surfskate, best use for it. I was initially going to ride my Low-Tide, so I could trail behind. That boards so damn fun. But right before leaving, I got the bright idea that it would be smarter to ride Bandito to demonstrate pumping.

It was all fun and games until we raced the last 5 miles home 😉

Setups:

Pantheon SuperDuperSonic, light flex.

- Bear 130, 40/50*, 74a front & 97a rear Seismic Defcon bushings. 74a 102mm Hokus.

Pantheon Bandito

- lepsk8 truck and 55* degree bracket, 87a Seismic Bushing.

- GBomb TTA

- Bronson Raw bearings

- 74a 102mm Hokus

Anyone skate these? From Brazil. I've seen comparisons to Rojas, but there's not much info online. They look rad...$565 USD isn't bad for exotic race trucks these days.

Don’t see this one on here a ton. Decided to try it out after enjoying my Trip but wishing for something a little more agile.

Love it! Ended up being exactly what I’m looking for, way more playful and agile while giving up very little as far as ease of pushing.

I’m 195 lbs and the flex is great as well!

I got into longboarding like 4 years ago and I heard that Retrospec was a good starting off place . I’ve spent more money on upgrading the wheels, bearings, bushings, hardware thank the board was worth brand new🤣. Anyway just found this subreddit and I hope my board is good enough to stay

Hey everyone,

I tried regular skateboarding a couple of times, but the roads around my area are just way too rough. The tiny, hard skateboard wheels were absolutely rattling my ankles to pieces and making it impossible to cruise smoothly.
After doing some research, I decided to switch over to a longboard setup with much bigger, softer wheels to handle the rough pavement.
I’ll attach the photo of the board. How does it look for a starter setup?
Also, since I'm a complete beginner, I'd love to hear any tips you guys have for getting used to a drop-through board, building leg stamina, or practicing pushing/carving on rougher roads.
Thanks in advance!

Love my Pranayama. Portal Heavy, stylus, hoku’s.
Got a 1/4” drop riser on the rear and 7 deg wedge on the front. Standard front bush and 96a in the rear.
Definitely my favourite to ride at the moment.
Can’t remember the last time I took my tangent out!

Had an incredible sunset run and filmed my feet and wheels so I made a quick edit of my second run to make it a little more fun

Gift from my mom because my old one cracked its tail end . I’m 31 and work at the post office so I love this for my commute to work and back as well for leisure time 👌🏿🛹

I started skating last year at 35. Regular lollipop board, took lessons in a park, started learning transitions and ramps. Then two months ago i took a pretty hard slam and dislocated my left shoulder. Still going through some pain, i decided to set aside the park until i get better (and until i overcome the fear of falling from a quarter again) and started cruising on my regular board. I looked into more comfortable boards and started thinking about a longboard. Long story short: today i bought my first, a used King Lui with kicktail. I just put a few hundreds meters on the wheels and It feels incredibly good!

As I'm typing this, I'm having a break on a bench inside LidL in Sweden close to Gøteborg. I've skated from Oslo and been on the road for over 2 weeks now.

Had my first major scare two days ago as a sprained my ankle after I joined a group of legends playing football the same day I had skated 38 kilometers lol. Not the best idea, but I got carried away lol.

I got to sleep 2 days at the football clubs clubhouse tho, that was sweet. Got to shower.

But lucky it was just a mild muscle injury I received, and I was back at full power again the day after.

I almost cried when I could barely walk the morning after I received the injury, haha.

Sooo today I'm back on the road.

Today, I've slated 27km so far in terrible head wind. I've spent 3 hours on that, and It's been a nightmare. I have to skate 12 before I'm with checkpoint for the day.

It's very hard, but not un doable.

I'm not really sure why I'm writing this now, guess I'm a bit lonely today. But all good, because I can use reddit as kind of a diary lol. Its been very nice actually.

I'm tracking my progress to Strava live. Feel free to follow how it goes @Michael Mangekyou

Here is a video of some of the highlights from the trip. Feel free to Ama, I'll answer when I've made camp tonight, or tomorrow.

Sharing my new board that I added to my collection today 🥳

We're making BOMB THE HILL, a VR downhill skateboarding game.

A few weeks ago, we tested it with real downhill world championship riders on a dedicated challenge track. Now we're opening that same track for our first public Meta Quest playtest (July 1-5).

If you're a VR developer, we'd really appreciate your feedback, especially on locomotion, comfort, and the overall feel of the game.

If you'd like to join, here's our Discord:

Hi all! I’m kind of new to longboarding. I recently got back into skateboarding after many years away. While I still enjoy trying tricks on my regular skateboard and I wanted something I could just cruise around on.
I found an Omen Patriot and a Sector 9 longboard (not pictured) on OfferUp and the seller let both of them go for $25 total. I couldn’t pass that up.
I’ve cleaned up the Omen and upgraded it with Atlas 180mm trucks, 1/4” risers and the original Sector 9 69mm Top Shelf Slalom wheels. It rides great now and has become my main cruiser.
