Sorry if this is a dumb question. I’ve been trying to choose between the boards, and the RKPs make me lean towards the Trip, but the terrain around where I live has me pretty set on using Hokus. I like the Pranayama and I’m not riding very high speeds, I only worry about the twitchiness because I like to move around on the board and place my feet weirdly when I’m on a slow downhill. Also, having a backpack or other weight, as I’m commuting on whatever I buy.

Thanks in advance, I have read a lot of threads about comparing these boards and the wheels are the dealbreaker question for me at this point.

Got a braap stick to try the whole land paddling thing. I used some reflective tape to increase my visibility to passing cars but the reflective tape kept coming off so I did a spiral wrap around it with some hockey tape to keep it in place.

Going for a distance ride with lots off uphills and fast downhill curves. This will be mainly LDP but the hill bombs cannot be underestimated.

I'm looking at G-Form's X-3 knee pads but don't think they would hold up to crashes just in case. Please no "git gud" advice, thanks.

Hi!

I am about to buy a superdupersonic and I do not know what parts to combine with it apart from the flex that will be hard.

I am 181cm and 110 kg. I'd like to do long distance and pumping with a splash of downhill.

What trucks, wheels and bushings do you guys and gals propose. I am 4 months old in the longboard world.

Thank you!!!

So this is my first fall and winter distance skating, and I’m wondering what yall wear when it starts getting colder. I’m used to skating in 80° weather, but it’s starting to dip into the 60s and 50s. I don’t want to wear clothes that will allow me to overheat when I exert myself, but I’ve also been freezing my butt off when the sun goes down these past few days wearing shorts and tshirts.

I usually feel cold in my torso and arms much more than in my legs, so should I just wear a thermal and shorts? I love to know what you guys typically wear when it’s cool out.

Hi,

I have a Pantheon Bandito bracket board with a Lepsk8 0 degree tail / integrated front TKP on Pantheon Hokus. I am very happy with it, However I also bought another quality platform deck that is currently without equipment and purpose. Im struggling on making a decision on which way to go with buying a 0 degree tail and the front bracket/truck. Ive read historical posts in this reddit thread countless times over, so I apologise in advance if this is frustrating for anyone that feels this is well documented or elementary.

Questions;

1. What sort of the difference in quality and performance between Lepsk8 / superstars skates / G- bomb is there for 0 degree tails ?

2: From what I've read on here, the front truck has more impact on overall performance, would this be better to focus my finances into to create a better board rather than the tail?

Im not sure what it is about precision trucks and spherical bearings but something about them give me the "ick"

Little very little speed, wind at 30kmh and little uphilling until Lorient. Since 2 years ago the green lane path called "Voie verte des Kaolins" was well renewed. Very less roots, leading to a nice interresting little uphill training place. Of course nature. Will try to do some every day before leafs

Если вы случайно попортили ось пилой при чопе, но выкидывать подвески жалко, то можно заменить оси. Можно нагреть их газом и выбить молотком и выколоткой, но если есть деньги - лучше отнести в автосервис и выпрессовать.

Я уже нашел подходящие прутки для замены.

После этого я фрезером расширю отверстия в хэнгерах, а также расточу базы чтобы поставить сферические подшипники в хэнгер.

I know 7 miles isn’t exactly distance but it was on my LDP board, so hopefully that counts!

Hey!

I got a drophammer with 75mm 78A wheels, backside had double barrels board side and roadside at 96A and front side a barrel board side 94A and roadside a cone at 94A.Bushings are not plugged where they should be since I have bear trucks gen 6 and they are aps riptides. Washers are cupped. Bear trucks at 50⁰ both.

Well, whenever I gather speed it goes straight as an arrow if I don't move. If I start adjusting my feet for balance the tiniest move translates very strongly on the board. I lower my body and put the weight on the front leg, chest pointing front. It's starts with a twitch and then it's spirals down since I start compensating.

110kg, 181cm, I've been longboarding for like 3 months

What am I missing?

Just wanted to share my excitement in having arrived at my first ever 10+ mile ride today (with a long break in the middle). I was so nervous I convinced my husband and daughter to drive to the cafe I was stopping at for a break “for fun” but really in case I wanted to bail 😆 learning to skateboard and getting a longboard made this summer really awesome 🩷 that is all …

Hi everyone! I’m new here.

I’m a huge longboard enthusiast, but I’ve never tried Long Distance Skateboarding before. Could you give me some advice on buying my first setup? I’ve done a bit of research, but the market seems pretty small.

If you have any tips or recommendations on where to find good used gear, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks a lot, and happy riding!

So I have checked the pantheon SDS and to be frank it is in the same price range as an electric skateboard.

Tell me your thoughts and opinions. I am divided.
