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.

Hi,

I started longboarding not so long ago but I went all in and started doing 2 hour sessions from the beginning. Right now I got pain under my foot between and across my heel and the ball of the big toe. It is not excruciating but it is still in pain like from working out I guess for so long. It is the right foot and I skate goofy.

Now I know discord is not a medical clinic but I am not asking for what it is, I think I know it is from skate and if it is getting worse I'll talk to the doctors.

With this out of the way I'd like to ask if this thing is common to skaters and what exercises you guys do to strengthen your soles besides the obvious (skating).

I am 44 and I workout in the gym, I am doing much workout for my knees and feet that are paying off but I never ever thought about exercises for the soles.

Thanks in advance!

But i sure have fun with my braapstik land paddle.. that flex is legit...

So I use my board to commute literally everywhere as I have no car. I realized a pantheon set up (the one I was gonna go with at least) was about as much as an electric skateboard and it has me wondering if I should just go electric? I have a cruiser (Penny Nickel on thunders and 70mm wheels) that would be good as new with turning cup and bearing replacements and I really enjoy it. Plus the setup of the pranayama would be almost 12 pounds. My current board is like 7 or 8 and feels sluggish over distance as it's just a cruiser. It's good for campus tho. Im sure overtime the pranayama or something would be good but my average commute can be anything from 2-10 miles one way.

Unless meepo sucks and there are other better brands but for more money. In that case I'll just take the pantheon or my current setup. Was gonna setup either a pranayama trip or super sonic on 85mm wheels (50/43 trucks for trip). But it is a bit expensive. Although if the board lasts me years then whatever.

Hi, I am relatively new to the LPD sport. I am between the loaded fathom with 105mm dad bods or the pantheon superdupersonic. My sessions will be max 10-15 km distance and I want something with the least pushing and maximum momentum. Our side roads are semihard asphalt with some new slick newly paved asphalt. Sweden. A lot of small pebbles and mini tree branches.

I'd love some feedback and opinions!

Thank you!

Curious if anyone has tried the truck for pumping with stock bushings or after tweaking and how was the results

Hi, I am 44 yo and after a long pause in skateboarding I started longboarding mostly because I just want to cruise and not break my bones in the process.

My question is about going downhill. Now by saying downhill don't think a 30% downhill but more like 2%🤣

I have a landyachtz drophammer and hard bushings with cones on the roadside in both trucks. It's very hard to steer in comparison to my loaded dervish sama. Well when I went "downhill" and I gained some speed I noticed that every small move I do, the board multiplies it.Very scary. I had both my feet sideways on the board where I shouldn't as I found out later.

I changed the bushings of one truck to hard double barrel and looseness the front trucks a little. Now I hate that there is a front and a back side to the board with this setup but whatever. When I get more experienced I will switch it back I guess.

I haven't tested it yet but I would like to ask for any tips from your experience. I am 110 kg 183cm and I just want to cruise. If you guys and gals also have tips for a setup that makes the board to keep rolling so less pushing, that would be great. I got bear trucks and the wheels are blue tomato 75mm 78A. I'm also considering changing the wheels to 85mm orangotang orange.
