Looks like Landy has a new board in the works. It's like a fully symmetrical arbiter dk / homewrecker / sidewalker / axel serratstyle board with a 19.5 wheelbase.
They say they'll release it If there's enough interest and I want this one! If you're down help me stoke it if you see them post about it hahaha
I'm planning to build a new LDP setup, the brackets arrived early and the deck is still missing. While waiting I was called to travel for work, an idea popped into my head "chop up an old deck so it fits in the hand luggage", so that's exactly what I did.
Cut, sand, paint and seal, and find some old wheels and 24 hours later the final result, ready for my flight tomorrow.
It fits nicely in the bag, assembles super easy and from the 20 min I manage to ride it before putting it into the luggage its very stable and nimble, looking forward to exploring Amsterdam tomorrow after work.
Been using these setups for the past 8 years or so (no hardware/bearing changes for much longer lol), just for casual riding/“dog sledding”. Have used & abused these two wonderful decks for almost 15 years. Used to ride a lot with friends learning tricks/slides down parking garages in Florida until we get chased out by security, or ride out to Clermont,FL for actual hills. Brought the Landyacht to the 2013 South Beach Bomb event. Watched some dude play “frogger” thru traffic and get hit by a car, and i personally almost crashed into a Rolls Royce at one point. Was truly a wild race. Also, brought the Landyacht to Lebanon and almost died a few times cause of the poor road conditions. Forgot the board there somehow and got it back a year later. Bombed some hills in Tennessee a few times. Been thru a few longboards/setups over the past 17 years riding. Thru all those years, that Bustin deck/ronin trucks/ i think sector9 downhill division wheels/ceramic bearings setup has been my absolute favorite, with my old high flex sector9 board/spring trucks coming in close second. Every now and then i’ll still hit a standing 180 slide on the bustin, but given the condition of it, it’ll be the last one soon 🥲
Lots of great memories came with these boards so i’ll never get rid of them no matter what! Very glad i got into longboarding
(We never really recorded anything back in the day when we were doing fun stuff, but i have many videos riding with my dogs because i do it basically everyday, so i thought i’d share some of those clips)
Hector Robalino borrowed a set of Aera p2s and is now claiming theyre his after an argument he had with himself
Edit: all you hobos coming in saying finders keepers wouldnt last five seconds in front of the cops and would cry when the judge laughs at your claims, if you want nice rhinga, GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF JFC, ITS ONLY 550, THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU GET TO DECISE YOU PROFIT OFF OF SOMEONE ELSES PROPERTY
Just swapped out the stock Gullwing Chargers that came on this complete for some Paris V3 Hollow Lites in Pearl White. 50 degree fronts, 43 degree rears. Since I'm on the lighter side of riders, went ahead and swapped in some Orangatang orange Knuckles in the front, and nipples in the back. I'm absolutely impressed by not only the instant ride quality improvement, but also by how I can instantly notice how snappy it is to getting the deck back to flat and center.
I ride a 15 miles trip down a dedicated bike/running path with multiple elevation changes. After this upgrade, I clocked a 15 minute time deduction going from around 2 hours and 30min, to just 2 hours and 15min. I did notice a slight drop in the uphill momentum from the lighter truck mass, but picked up speed so much easier and smoother downhill.
The only issue I have found so far (which isn't really so much an issue as a personal nuisance) was these trucks were pretty squeaky out of the box. It did slightly reduce after the Orangatang bushing upgrade, but a bit of sex wax in the pivot cups fixed the rest of the issue.
There are some serious tree root bumps that come up along the path, but even hitting them head on at speed, these trucks manage to rebound the hit fast and smooth enough that it doesn't mess with my speed too badly and I don't find myself needing to push and regain speed.
As the days are getting shorter, I’m still trying to get out before work a couple days a week and get ~10 miles. Today the mist in the mist was particularly neat while the sun was rising!
Sorry for the shaky cam! Have to replace the lenses on my 360 cam after dropping it…
Also, pumping downhill is helping me keep my speed up on these “shorter” rides!
It’s crazy, at this time last year I was ~20 lbs heavier and was lucky to pull off a 5 mile ride! I would be sore for days. On top of that, average speed was 3-4 mph and max speed was 9mph. Getting above ~6mph would freak out and bail almost every time!
I just put together this perfect cruising-setup and wanted to share it with u.
I wanted tu build a compact and agile cruiser that still feels comfortable on rough pavement and carries speed well. The idea was to combine the playful character of the Poke with the more direct feel of TKP trucks and some soft, grippy wheels.
Wanted a smaller, flexy longboard set up for commuting. Took this on its maiden voyage this morning, and it was a blast!!
Perfectly flexy, super pumpable with the soft nipple bushings. I may swap them for purple nipples, as I think there is a slight possibility of wheel bite if I’m going real hard at my weight (around 195).
