Who's into longboarding?

[Jand3rson]

Just picked mine up yesterday from a friend who bought it a few years ago and never rode it. It's a Surf One with clear spray-on grip tape, with Independent trucks and I just put some brand new Arbor 65mm wheels with Sector 9 Greaseball bearings on it. It rides super-nice, but I definitely need to get some proper longboard trucks on it.

I hadn't been on any kind of skateboard in years, so it took a little bit for it to come back to me, but once it did I had a blast. I was out for about 4 hours today with a friend from work, and had a ton of fun. Here's a few shots:

I haven't longboarded in a while.
I usually grab my old school and shred bowls.
something like this:


and doing this:




But shredding hills with that is super fun when you powerslide.

I have a Landyachtz Mummy:



About 60% of the people in my college skate to/from classes, because our campus is long, skinny, and slightly downhill to the academics side. There's also some nice hills around.

[Jand3rson]

Not really at all, it's just getting your balance down. I'm still kinda squirrelly, probably will be for a little while at least.

Bombed a few moderate hills, wobbled a little, but still fun.

I had a 10'6" and an 8'6" Pierce and Arrow that I rode for years, Skateboards pffft.

[Jand3rson]

Can you guys reccomend some good proper longboard trucks that aren't going to break my wallet?

^ Randall 180, awesome truck for any discipline. Even better when you match it with the appropriate bushings.

+1 on Randall 180s. Nice and wide.

What's wrong with the indy's?

I've been lusting after a nice sector 9 for years

Pinepig, I've got a 8'6'' funboard and a 4'6'' victoria skimboard :)

indy's are known to be heavy. I am using Randall's on my board and I love them. Longboarding FTW! The PNW definately has some awesome places for it too.

it took a little while for my ankles to get strong enough to not wobble a lot. it goes away pretty fast though.

i ride mongo though, so i look like a fool. it doesn't effect you as much on a longboard though as it does when you're doing trick on a short deck.

I have one of the sector nine sidewinder series in 33 inch bit I have no pics of it :(
