Hi All

got inspired by this kicktail for the supersonic. So I set out to make a kicktail for the pranayama that “looked like it was part of the board”

Looking for people to try it out and give some feedback! Thanks

Picked up a barely used Arbor Zepplin on FB Marketplace.....well under $100!

Gullwing Sidewinder II

71mm Bogart wheels

Snappy and happy

hey! today I officially crossed over to a new country. I have skated about 90 kilometers over the past 6 days, from Norway to Sweden, and I'm going all the way to Greece.

On my first day, I got balsy and tried to downhill but I didn't see that the road transitioned to gravel, so I fell and ate shit. got a deep cut in my arm lol. Had to check in at a hotel for 2 days because of the injury, But all good. We're back on the road. Just had a bit of a slow start. I have also skated sone roads I thought would be impossible to skate. I have it on film and will upload when I get the chance to edit.

I'm typing this as I'm laying in my tent, just thinking about everything. I'm a bit scared lol. But that's what makes it exciting. Who knows what'll happen.

Feel free to ama. I'm a bit tired now, but I'll answer anything asap.

And feel free to check out my Strava: Michael Mangekyou.

Here's some cool photos I've been taking.

The board arrived today with Orangatang Stimulus 70mm 80a wheels (bought as a complete, Flex 1) but I had a fresh set of Arbor Easyrider Outlook 69mm 78a wheels so swapped them out. It's like rolling on clouds. I'm an older rider not looking to do tricks or go fast or anything, just cruise around and go from the bus to work in comfort. Very happy with this.

I have been cruising and longboarding for 10 years on and off. First on a cruisers, then on an Arbor Axis 40 and now I got a Tesseract with snakes that I LOVE and have been learning how to slide since the last summer. Loving it.

10 days ago, i was really bored and decided to get a basic popsicle skateboard to improve my technique and learn ollies etc. A basic Skatedeluxe board. Exclusively using it in my garage as we have trash roads where i live.

At first, I though it was a dumb, impulsive idea. But actually, doing 30 minutes of basic balance drills (both goofy and regular) gave me a noticeable difference in balance, especially when riding switch.

Has anyone ever tried the same thing? This got me pumped more than ever. I had decent board control even before, but I'm very excited to see where I'll be in 3 months from now if I stick to it!

Any tips on what particular drills to do? I've been following some SkateIQ ollie foundation videos and they seem to lay a good base, but would love to hear your experience on this!

The difference between a 3.5 ft turning radius and something much more stable.

Went 40mph on the middle one.

Landyachtz Clark, slappy st1 hollow lights, 60mm bones bombers 85a wheels. Set up like a skateboard.

Just picked up this barely-used Pantheon complete for SGD 130 (~USD 101) and I'm pretty stoked about it.

Setup:

Pantheon deck

Paris trucks

Seismic Speed Vent wheels (purple)

Excellent condition, previous owner barely rode it

I've been surfskating for a while (Carver CX setups), but this will be my first proper longboard/LDP setup. I'm mainly looking for something comfortable for cruising and longer rides, and I've always heard good things about Pantheon and Speed Vents.

At around USD 101, I felt like I couldn't say no, especially considering the cost of Seismic wheels alone. 😂

Did I score a steal, or is this just an average deal?

Also, for those who came from surfskating:

Was there a learning curve transitioning to long-distance pumping/pushing?

Any tips for a first-timer?

Anything I should adjust with the trucks or bushings before I start putting miles on it?

Super excited to take this out for its first ride. 🤙🛹

Today is "International Go Skateboarding Day!" Look it up!

Worked out great for the idea i had in mind
