A2/Ypsi Longboarders?

(1/5) > >>

Vic:
Just finally got a full setup and wondering if anyone on here longboards? I like just cruising mostly and some minor downhill.

My current setup is a Wefunk FR38 Deck on Bear trucks with Biggie Hawgz 70mm DIA, 76A Durometer wheels
and some unknown bearings(got all the hardware in a kit off eBay).

I'm also looking for a crew to board with. Either join one, or start one.

I know this is an Airsoft forum, but as stupid as this sounds, I trust my MiA peeps more than people from Facebook or other parts of the internet. Plus I figure if we all love Airsoft, we must have other things in common, enough so to be able to ride together?

Chubbs:
I've got some random Stella longboards deck sitting on Gullwing reverse double kingpin trucks, Stella 70mm 76A wheels and Bones ceramic bearings.

Never been a longboarder and I'm a long ways away so won't help on topic;) That said I skated regular boards for years, though I took 10+ years off of that as well. And recently my son started taking an interest in skating, and I've been back on a board again which has been fun;)

That said I don't bounce as well as I used to;)

Longboarding puts much less stress on your body than skate boarding, assuming you're cruising, especially with a drop trough drop down deck since you're closer to the ground. I would def look into it :)

And Chubbs, are you in the ypsi area?

T6e9a:



40" BambooSkateBoards double tip, drop through blank
Clear griptape
170mm 70degree(?) Tracker Fasttrack trucks
Undertow 70mm/78a wheels
Would have to look up the bearings
1 1/4" hardware (hardware store)
Buffer/tip protectors
And i was playing around with Khiro 70 duro drop through wedges, but it lowered my board so low I got heel drag on some carving haha.

My plans for my current setup is to get some lights on it for my often low light cruises, and some sharkwheels for the rough local roads.

I've been looking into setting up a pumping board. Some Don't Trip Poppy LDP trucks and I've been looking at different decks for something a little more suitable for pumping.

But I definitely have to second that longboarding/cruising is much more relaxed and less impact.

Can't wait to find others in the community that longboard as well.
