I'm trying to ride 80 kilometer next week and have finished my modifications with new riptide bushings and shock pads for a smoother ride (some roads here ate pretty rough). Can't wait to go for it on this setup 😍

Found this beautiful Canyon Arrow on FB.. I've seen multiple Landyatchtz boards posted over the last month that were labeled confidently incorrect. I've seen a Switchblade labeled as Drop Cat, a Battleaxe labeled as a Drop Hammer.. and now this Canyon Arrow mislabeled as a Drop Hammer.
I do wish I had the money for this board though, she's a beauty
Anyone else noticing this? Just thought it was funny
is this peak? This is just a concept I have for my new board, the text is “Spider-Man” in japanese. (will show results once I have the physical board and stencils)
Board specs from left to right:
41" DB Paradigm with 180mm 8mm 48 Degree Atlas Ultralight trucks, Spitfire Cheapshots bearings, and 78a 69mm Cloud Ride Cruiser wheels
33" DB Mini Copper with 149mm Atlas Street trucks, Cloud Ride ABEC-7 Lightning bearings, and 78a 90mm Cloud Ride Hurricane wheels
36" Landyachtz Drop Hammer "Sun Fox" with Gen 6 180mm Bear Grizzlies trucks, Bear Spaceballs bearings, and 76a 74mm 66.5mm Plow King GT Hawgs wheels
Love bringing the dingy on work trips.
Skated as a youth for fun and as a mode of transportation. Switched to cycling and became a bit of an endurance sport fiend for a bit. Picked this up from our local shop and was really not expecting to be in HR zone 3 and upper zone 2 for most of the ride. pleasantly surprised! another plus is the dynamic nature of skating seems to really show coming from the more static nature of cycling. I’ve got the sore Feet, Achilles tendons, and hip flexors to show for it after 2 10 mile rides. I can say I’m well and truly hooked( again).
also - Ive spent a week on this sub and I’ve already got a supersonic picked out and configured. Seems like almost a different sport entirely. A few concerns I have are lack of community and lack of routes but I suppose at some point you have to be the change.
Beautiful board, don't know too much about the brand but I couldn't pass it up
There’s many reasons that led to North Carolina being established as a downhill hotspot. We can look back to the 1989 North Carolina Highway Trust Fund paving program that was a massive push to pave remaining dirt and gravel secondary roads. The 2008 housing market crash gave way to a swath of undeveloped and abandoned neighborhoods.
For us, a simple but clear example is how you can leave your front door and be at the top of a world class downhill descent in a matter of fifteen to twenty minutes.
If you look back through the North Carolina Downhill Skateboarding (NCDH) archive, you will find that one of our favorite things to capture is our local crew ripping through beautiful Appalachia.

*We had spotters and walkie talkie systems for these descents. Eyes and ears all over the road with communication and safety protocols.
Shouldn't they bushings be pointing in on both trucks? Still haven't ridden yet, is this going to make it ride weird? I got it from a shop so maybe they installed it wrong?
I’m pretty got to try all of them but Lacey was my favorite. The only one I didn’t try was ginger because she was spendy and carbon!
Hi guys, new here.. I fancied getting into longboarding and I’ve been rolling around on a second hand atom board for a while, just to get a feel and see if I stick at it (adhd ftw!)… turns out I’m into it, and bit the bullet and bought myself a cosmic turtle Pantheon Pranayama.
I love it!!
The careless build quality took the shine off a bit though, no spacer rings on the axles and no washers on the drop through bolts… no drop down spacers as specified on the shops advert and the wheels had been tightened to the point they barely spun.. the bearing shields are caved in and the bearings are noisy.. I don’t think it’s unfair to expect better..
I’ll contact the shop to see what’s what with that, in the meantime I’ve rebuilt it with some Bronson G3s and assorted hardware off my old board and everything seems pretty sweet. I’m itching to get out there but of course, it’s raining! 😩
Rocket Spear, Zealous trucks and bearings, 69mm Powell experimental snakes.
Found it at a random local skate shop and didn’t think it twice. Gotta get new orangatangs now as mine are super old
Had a really nice ride up and down the m-6 trail in Grand Rapids today a few hours after a storm came through, it was so nice. Got a new landyachtz drop deck from Zumiez yesterday, and this new one feels like a dream in comparison to the one I got second hand from an ex a couple years ago. I barely got tired even after having ridden probably close to twenty miles in the past three days. Route and board pics plus doggo. Also, can anyone suggest a good way to carve the grip tape into a neat design without cutting into the wood underneath? I wanna keep this beauty pristine as long as I can.
