To all of the haters saying this isn’t LDP, explain this. I’m literally pushing the board over this long distance so hard that it goes sideways.

New to boarding and picked up this Sector 9 40in today mostly to cruise around on and learn to carve. Feels really stable and roomy, especially coming from a cruiser board.

Do you still have your first longboard?

The resale value on my old boards probably wouldn’t pull 40 bucks, so it’s kind of hard to let go, but at the same time, I want new boards and my collection is growing. I don't really want to sell them, but they're just sitting there.
What do you guys do with your old, sentimental decks that aren't worth much to sell but are just taking up space?

Out of my quiver, I just ride the LY drop carve and the arbor zeppelin. This is not a ‘for sale’ post so please don’t ask to buy thanks

I recently met the community here on reddit and decided to show you my longboard

During the bulk of the video it is just the board mounted light. You can see near the end where I turn on the bike light mounted to my helmet.

Finally getting to try the 2018 Hoedown Soft Flex! Super glad I found one second hand but in new condition. For some reason it does seem to wheelbite, even though it's got the same truck/bushing/wheel/pivot cup setup as the medium flex.

Sidenote: Does anybody know what that pitting at the bottom kicktail is? Seems like rather strange damage considering the rest of the board seems to be in untouched condition.

Just picked this bad boy up from FB marketplace. Doesn’t really have a big use for my quiver, but I run a longboarding club, so sometimes I lend out boards. Looks to be is pretty good condition. Wondering if anyone here has ridden this board and how they like it.

Board is Sector 9 Bamboo Lookout

Super compact keychain (2 photos), Atlas skatetool (necessary because I’ve had wheels fly off, plus it has a bottle opener) and 750 lumen rechargeable flashlight for night riding (I’d prefer 1000, but it’s tiny, rechargeable, and exactly 25x brighter than my iPhone flashlight)

It started at 7am this morning. A friend came out and skated the last 30 miles with me. Couldn't have done it without him. Cant wait for Ultraskate in Feb 🤙

Gear: Tank and shorts, Xero prio shoes (brand new, got them yesterday), Karma wheels, Superduper sonic board, bear 130 trucks and red ceramics.

People asked for videos of what it looked like while riding. This was on the trip, with Hoku’s, where I can do the full busy hip pumping verses faster wiggle pumping on the supersonic.

I return Second gen of the light mounts are holding up well.

22 miles on the trip and 16 on the super sonic (slightly different designs). Will report back after tomorrow’s ride!

I retuned the headlamp I had been using for one that can better sustain lighting so the helmet light was a bike light mounted to a go pro mount on my helmet.

Skateboarding is a blessing for the body & mind, so grateful for it 🙏

So since lately I am focusing on learning slides, I was looking for a set of wheels that would be sliding easy in low speeds with at least moderate diameter to increase the ride range and help getting through pebbles comparing to the Snakes which is my primary set for learning sliding. Issue is though, most of available sets was either higher duro than snakes or really expensive - I wanted to avoid both issues since flatspotting 100+ euro wheel hurts, and I like soft wheels.

Since I had a set of Le Paulade Polymers (76a, 76mm x 65mm contact patch) I tried sliding them a try and generally, out of the box I was pleasently surprised that I was even able to slide them (I am sliding at approx. 18 km/h so pretty slow) and that they hadn’t highsided me, but I had a feeling that while urethane is great, the wheel shape makes it far from perfect (where I consider snakes a perfect) so I kept thinking about cutting them to reduce the contact patch and to make a chamfer on the lip. I’ve designed myself 3D printed fixture for it and yesterday I’ve cut 6.5mm of each side of the wheel and voila! Here are the Moddymers :)
I finally gave up making chamfers as I wasn’t able to do that precisely using that tool, but as described below, that wasn’t really neede!

Today I’ve took them for a sliding session and I’m blown away by the result! In addition of much smoothie transition between the grip and the slide, resulting in easier kick out and muuuch more gentle hook up which was expected, the slide itself got much more pleasent. No more chatter, pure butter! And now they align better with the board edge and have a bit more margin to the wheelbite.

I am so happy with the result that instead of spending 100+ euro on Seismic Urchins, which was direct competitor, I’m going to order myself another set of Polymers and cut it to that shape again, which will give me softer and slightly bigger wheel for only a bit more than a half of the price, yaaay!

If anyone is interested feel free to PM me for cutter files :)

Options- because you never know what mood you'll be in.

I used to post longboarding videos on youtube (2010 was 16 years ago... wow time flies)

Just getting back into it since they paved the pump track near my house.

Take your shortest, carviest longboard out to your nearest pump track - it's an absolute blast.

And DM if you're in the Philly area, let's skate!!

Finding the perfect wheels was the biggest hurdle. Paris street 169s with double cones front, double barrels rear, wedged front, and dewedged rear. Zealous bearings, and nice fat centerset Sector 9 nineballs 61mm 78a.

…with addition of the first proper topmount board to the quiver.

Rocket Classic Scout on 180mm Bear gen 6 50deg and a set of 69mm 75a Snakes. Gosh, what a board! Riding topmount is currently stretching my comfort zone (rest of quiver are 33 inch and shorter double drop lowriders only) but nevertheless this one rides sooo smooth! And concave is truly magical, I think Danny from Rocket made excellent job designing that. It’s quite a funny feeling having so much deck space. I need to readjust for wider stance now, lol!

And I am surprised how good that one slides! I am still a rookie so I was afraid that going up with the deck height will make kickout harded and increase the risk of hisiding but none of that happened. I am soooo happy with that board, I have a feeling that next season will be pretty much shared between this one and my another sliding/LDP crossover which is drop cat 33.

Picked this up on marketplace for $40. Feels new. Tomorrow's commute will tell.

Just wanted to show you guys my personal nighttime cruiser.

So I made a footstop out of an old trucks bushing and washer. I also got some propane gas tube cut to a nose and tail guard since I’ve been bashing my board while learning slides. This all cost less than $2 to make.
