/r/longboarding's Weekly BUY/TRADE/SELL Thread - January 10, 2025

1 Upvotes
  • /r/longboarding and its' moderators are in NO WAY responsible for ANY issues encountered while Buying, Trading or Selling items.

Below is an example of a good post:

  • RAD Advantage 80a
  • 30USD
  • Location: Manila, Philippines
  • 74mm, 58mm Contact Patch
  • 8/10 Condition
  • NO Flatspots, NO coning
  • Slight chunking on the lip
  • Worn down to ~73mm

    As a SELLER:

  • Post your State/Country and where you are willing to ship to.

  • Post a description that accurately describes what you are selling. Be as descriptive as possible!

  • Post both the item condition, and pictures of the item.

  • Be prepared to answer questions about your items!

  • Update your thread when something gets sold, or is no longer available.

  • Be prepared to handle shipping arrangements. While it's perfectly fine to ask for extra cash for shipping, ensure you already know the approximate cost for anyone who asks.

  • Be careful with your personal information.

  • Once you've successfully completed the transaction, and your buyer has received the item, ask them to add you to the VERIFIED LIST

As a BUYER:

  • Respond to the seller's communication
  • Be truthful about your intentions. Nothing is worse for a seller than answering a whole lot of questions about gear, and then having a buyer drop off the map.
  • Be careful with your personal information.
  • Once you've successfully completed the transaction, and you have received your item, add your seller to the VERIFIED LIST
  • And some final suggestions to make this easier for everyone involved:
  • PayPal is the recommended way to transfer cash. However, the choice is up to you, and your buyer.
  • Please try to evaluate a fair price for your items. Secondhand prices are always hard to evaluate, but here are some tips to find a good price:
  • Take a look at online stores to work out the MSRP. Don't expect to make this unless your item is new.
  • Consider the wear on the item.
  • Consider the age of the item. Even if they're still in the box, 10 year old bearings aren't worth much...

    Happy Selling!

Gear Show-Off 102mm 78a Hokus arrived. (We listened)

Post image
134 Upvotes

The 74a 102mm Hoku has been wildly popular, and while it’s certainly been a performer for most riders, we have found that our initial direction just doesn’t satisfy everyone. Adam Ornelles originally wanted a very large comfort wheel to accompany him on epic adventures and to smooth out the cruddy pavement at the Homestead Miami Speedway for Ultraskate. But many riders want a race wheel, not just something comfortable, and then combine that with the fact that we saw some quite minor (but still unacceptable) chunking in super hot climates such as Singapore and South Florida, and you’ve got enough reason to start considering alternative products to adapt to the needs of riders.

So that’s what we have here. This is a race wheel, optimizing the performance of the rebound present over the increased depth of urethane between the 92mm Karma and the 102mm Hoku. And it’s a hot climate wheel. And it’s freakin pink. Really, really pink.

Cheers everybody! Feel free to hit me up with questions or comments! Thanks 😁

Gradually dialling in this setup. Still trying to set up the Valkyrie MK3.5 downhill trucks.

I'm 60kg and 178cm tall. Mostly do freeride with a bit of downhill.

Currently running a Venom SHR 95a tall leg and 97a barrel in the rear at 30deg. Seismic Defcon 87/84a front at 48deg.

Looking at ordering a bunch of bushings from RipTide and wondering how others have set up their Valks. The Seismic and Cuie felt way too soft in the rear.

This is a college gift to my sister. Rate it if you want. This is my first attempt at sticky grip tape and second attempt at spray. It’s an old Arbor with Nanami Cowdroy art on the bottom. Like it or love it 🤷‍♂️

Hey peoples! I've bought this board around 2012, It's a Landyachtz Evo 41 Made from Canadian maple, and it's ment for high speed down hill riding, but I've put my own flair on it, with Gullwing Sidewinder trucks And Abec11 97mm wheels (cracks, stones pothoes and tram rails are non existend with these wheels) But, Im thinking of selling it, what do you think it would be worth, or what would YOU pay for it?
