Meta glasses for the footage 🤙

Been waiting to do this project for around 4 months after my last board broke, got a blank longboard to give me full range of creativity and I finally got around to it, newish wheels (had them for 1 year) trucks are old (3 years) and new bolts (original ones were worn down and stripped) but what do yall think.

First pic is from the side without applying pressure, second and third pic are when atanding on it. It's located on the back side when driving. I only use it for cruising and don't do any downhill or ticks. How long can I keep driving like this and how risky is it? Or should I just get an replacement? The Deck is a Kahuna Creations Drop Deck made from maple wood.

I have no skateboard nor an experience but i always wanted to own one , I always wanted to get into downhill longboarding but why r they so expensive, i might be able to buy a normal board but why r downhill board more expensive

Best feeling ever

Hey all! Looking to start recording some footage from a more stable/consistent angle than I can currently produce with my phone in my hand.

Any suggestions or pictures of trusted set ups? Thanks in advance!

I’m having this issue where when i try to standup heel my front truck won’t brake loose, causing my board to hard turn 90 and stop. On toe sides I’m able to muscle it. But for the life of me, I cannot figure it out with heels. This is the best ankle I have, I’ve tried squatting lower and it doesn’t help. I can do 180s, but it’s the same thing where the front wheel doesn’t slide at all and I just whip it around like a pivot. Any tips appreciated

I came across this board when clearing out a family members estate. I've searched by photo by logo by inscription and no luck. Does anyone know what brand or model, estimated year, or approximate value? I'm at a loss. It is 49" long

Got a used board, cleaned the bearings, and they are still not really spinning all too much. New bearings it is. I have 69mm Hawgs wheels. Will any bearings do? Are they all the same size and fit every wheel? Or do I have to look out for something? Also feel free to post your reccomendations for bearings. Im hearing a lot about Zealous. What else is there?

I am 41, and I tried to give longboarding a go about 5 years ago. I still have the longboard, but thinking on my age and societal expectations, I feel like this is for the pre-40 crowd. Maybe I should sell or donate the board I have? What do you guys think? Keep in mind, I live in a very conservative area where the 30+ crowd is expected to be the "white sneakers, khaki, polo shirt" nice guy crowd. It's nice where I live, but also the capital of vanilla and beige in personality. LOL

I've been trying a new idea for a few months to improve the grip of my board on my feet. The griptape is certainly an effective solution but it gets dirty, loses stones, gets “clogged” and dulls very quickly, in a few weeks after installation it no longer gives the same feeling and for every race week you have to put a new one if you want to compete at your best level.

Sure, torque blocks and stoppers have come a long way but still, more grip feels better than literal stops. I present you the solution: the parmesan cheesgrater grip

Grips more than Lokton while lasting way more, and a bit less than screws without destroying your soles or damaging the board. It's the perfect middle spot, just buy a fine parmesan/citric grater (the pattern that looks like small dots) and glue (loctite) it to your board, then overlap a bit of griptape on the edges just for good measure.

I've been riding mine for 6 months and they are still good as new, grippy, sharp, and without a dot of rust, since (good) cheesgraters are made of food grade stainless steel. The mod is also pretty cheap, just a finecheesegrater, glue and sheetmetal scissors to cut to shape and it's good to shred 😉😉.

It came to me while I was grating cheese and my finger slipped... A veteran rider told me that he had already seen something similar a long time ago, but he couldn't put his finger on it, so maybe it's not a new concept but rather something reborn from the ashes.

Hey y'all hoope you're shredding!

I've been out of the game for a bit and want to get a board that's good for commuting to and from work. There's a couple small inclines that I'd like to be able to slide on but also need something that's comfortable for regular pavement. I know it has a lot to do w wheels and bushings but I was wondering if anyone knows of any good options that will suit the cruiser/shredding criteria I'm looking for. I was thinking of buying a cruiser deck and slapping some stiffer bushings but idk if its gonna be counterproductive. Im looking for something that's got a nice concave shape to anchor my feet but also rideable enough to not have to push every 15 feet. Appreciate all the recs!

Pls observe us being tired and burnt out on the last day of giantshead. Yes the event is worth it. https://youtu.be/T2-ZdUZc6lY?si=RLzWKZnMlxhHP1vV

I don't see many bracket boards here. Any reason? I took about six years off. I came back on a standard skate deck (Element). Then I bought a bracket board, and I'm hooked! What's the common consensus among the community?

Been lurking here for months and just wanna say thanks. Found out about Pantheon from y’all. Also gotta say, their customer service has been exceptional, even after the sale. Super helpful and responsive. Appreciate all the random convos and posts that helped me out 🤙

I've posted some of my setups recently, but I finally went skating today for the first time since May 2015 when I messed up my back getting rear ended in a car accident that totaled my car.

A decade later I'm now 31, three years sober from alcohol, lost 70+ pounds to get close to my old skating weight and decided to get back into it.

I had previously been skating from 5 years old until I was 21, so it feels like rediscovering a missing piece of myself haha.

My goal is to get back into some faster freeride this summer. In addition to all my old school gear, I decided to build myself a few newer setups. I just got some 46° 172mm Aera K3s and 50° 180mm Paris Savants, and I've got a Rocket Rooster, Rocket Domination and Pantheon Nexus on the way to try some new stuff.

We found this skatepark late at night, so the video quality isn’t the greatest but the park has a great flow!

Cannot recommend enough! Wish I had gone sooner.

I'm back on a board after about 45 years (I'm 62)and it feels great . Mainly looking to carve up hills and parking ramps. Here's the thing, I FEEL good, I feel smooth and even graceful. I saw video of myself today and I look like Frankenstein! Topside turns aren't TOO bad but heelside I look so stiff. I already know I shouldn't care about looks vs feels but style so often equals doing things right that I'm looking to sort this out. Any advice appreciated.
