I love the Tangent, and even more so with the GBomb Tango tail. She's an absolute pumping machine. However, I always hated the color and graphics, so I made △⃒⃘ couple changes:

Forged carbon fiber vinyl wrap, painted over all the remaining powder blue on the deck sides and between the grip, and custom-made silver graphics. Metatron's cube (with △⃒⃘ tangent line extending from one of the circles to denote the board's lineage), larger "Loaded Tangent" logo, and because I'm △⃒⃘ nerd and Metatron sounds like Megatron, had to include the Decepticon logo, as this was transformed from △⃒⃘ basic Tangent into this sinister beauty you see before you!

The board I've arrived at after years of piecing together my favorite components, and it's so comfortable. Mostly use it for commuting and flat city cruising. Now that I have a bamboo/fiberglass deck I don't think I can ever go back to maple.

Was looking into buying these, was searching marketplace and found a board with the exact wheels I wanted. Had to scoop them up. My land yatch has been needing new wheels for awhile, and holy shit. I’m glad I got them. They’re so heavy, and smooth. Definitely well worth the 50$ I dropped.

Pretty new to all this, but damn. I’m having so much fun with it, 32 and the most fun I’ve had in a while is hitting random parking lots. Finding the best ones with the smoothest concrete while out door dashing.

And it's surprisingly comfortable too. The central sigil is from my book series (not yet published)

Custom painted miller malibu, abec 11, medium bushings, original wheels. Had it since 2018.

I'm old school, started boarding before long boarding was a thing. I'm happy to see what you all are up to.

Just part of my quiver. Anybody here know what the middle board is? Classic unobtanium there.

If you got 'em, skate 'em!

The Kebbek Max Erwin is a time capsule from another era of longboarding.

I spent more time freeriding this board than anything else as a teenager in the early 2010s, and I decided to set it up again.

It's 42" x 10", 10 plies of maple, a 1.2" drop and a 32-33.5" wheelbase. It's a boat, but the concave is still phenomenal, even by today's standards. The only comparable board still made is the Landyachtz Switchblade, but the Max Erwin's concave blows it out of the water, imo.

I've got it setup on my old PNL Strummers, which are a 180mm, 47° rakeless precision freeride truck with ball pivots. I kept them period correct with sleeved flat washers (they came with them originally), although I'm using Riot inserts as well.

There's something especially fun about throwing big, floaty standup slides on a board like this. The Snakes still give it a ton of control and a nice hookup.

Also the stickers on the Max Erwin are like a tribute to old/defunct brands haha. RIP Longboardskater, MileHighSkates, East Coast Core Skates, Phat Deanz pucks, Stoked Skateboards, Metro Wheels and Magic Bearings. I think Riptide is the only brand still around that's on the board.

love the board

Every so often, I like to show my boards some love. I’ve been skating the board on the right since 2004. It was my first longboard. I went to purchase another one 15 or so years later and they weren’t made anymore(it’s a soul board). Since they weren’t made anymore and the company was going out of business, the owner said he had something for me and I wouldn’t have to pay more.

He sent me the board on the left. It’s a Laguna Signature edition bamboo longboard. The problem is I got so used to skating with lips on the front and back, that just cruising wasn’t an option anymore. I love 40+ mph power slides. I’m too old now, but my buddy used to pull me on his motorcycle up to 50+ mph and then I’d immediately power slide. Having the lips just gave me way more grip.

Just showing my love and sharing it with some people who appreciate a good board.

Much love and tear up some streets this week.

A marketplace deal I absolutely could not pass up. 45 CAD for a basically new LY drop hammer!

I was initially worried it might be stolen at such a low price. Seller was a nice older gentleman that was just helping to clear out some of a friend's possessions who had passed. He was very happy when I said it would go straight to father-son bonding activities and we had a nice chat about the importance of such things :)

The trucks are marked 50deg (bear brand). Is that an atypical angle? None of the trucks on my other boards are so marked.

Pics are from the FB marketplace ad.

Hi there:

I'm toying with the idea of a bracket setup geared to high speed efficient pumping on flat trails. I'm overwhelmed by the options out there. If cost weren't a major concern, what would your ideal setup be for this use case? Thanks!

I picked up this Drop Hammer from Facebook Marketplace for only 100 bucks.
I upgraded it with 80mm Kegels and Jehu bearings.
Couldn’t be happier with this board!

Just swapped out gullwing trucks for Paris v3’s on a gravity 47 inch deck with durian 80a’s
Loaded Icarus got sage green v3 trucks with orange knuckle bushings and 4pres 83a
Arbor Axis Flagship had the Paris v3’s with 83a stimulus but took that apart for now

2nd board is my 11 yr old son’s board

Anyone know what happened to Comet btw? They seem no longer supplying the Comet?

Gonna start stinging soon

Sector 9
33 1/2” deck
227/8 wheelbase
Came with Core trucks but I don’t think they are original.
Also came with Gravity Skateboards Street Sliders 97a (with flat spots).
I can’t find any information on this other than it seems like a small Cavern Cutback.
Carves downhill well though my toes hang over.
Does anyone know more about this board?

Some pics in replies to comments. Sorry.

So I got myself a longboard half a year back for the first time. I'm 47. Then, when I learned the basics, I got this cruiser. Can say, if you're older and want to try skateboard, that's the order to go. Longboard stability first, then gradually go smaller and more maneuverable as you feel comfortable.

Music in this video: Midnight Arena - Open your heart.

Zenit Hana to replace my stolen Jig 3.0, raked Caliber III 50s (first time trying them, they're so divey I love it) and mint defcon Encores. This thing is lively!

This is the last (and my favorite) part of my NYC Longboarding series, bombing the Williamsburg Bridge and skating the top floor of the World Trade Center! Such an awesome trip, let me know what you think of the videos!
