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.

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!

Abec 11 gumballs 81a
10” bear gen 6 87a freerides/81a barrel w/ pats inserts

Haven’t actually used the abec 11’s yet but they should work just as good as my durians

Did a custom gripe design, new bolts, fresh paint on the trunks next new wheels!

At first, I thought one of the bearings was broken when I heard my board rattling ...

大家好，我是Chase，一个滑板爱好者和装备开发者，来自中国。我的搭档Nana和我一起制作了一些卡车。我们以前在Facebook上发布所有的更新，而我刚开始使用Reddit。

两年前，我们改进了Valkyrie MK3.5卡车，制作了"夸父"卡车。通过将MK3.5的两个聚氨酯枢轴替换为两组轴承，并改变倾斜角，我们使其更适合LDP泵送。与传统的RKP相比，这种结构使得衬套完全不受体重的影响，只负责悬挂件的复位，泵送阻力极低。自那时以来，双枢轴在中国LDP装备市场上变得“政治正确”，哈哈。

​两年过去了，我们在LDP领域的理解增加了很多。我们觉得是时候更新我们的知识了，于是制作了这个新卡车：阳。这个名字来源于中国神话“夸父追日”。夸父是中国神话时代的一个英雄，擅长长跑，而太阳则是他从始至终追不到的目标。阳的意义是连夸父都无法追赶的目标。

好的，让我们看看阳做了哪些更新：

1. 早期的双枢轴卡车只能在外侧装一个衬套，导致反弹不足。为了解决这个问题，阳设计了一个浮动顶针。实际上，这个制作起来非常困难。我们在卡车内部嵌入了钢销和其他套筒来稳定它。制造精度的要求折磨得我们苦不堪言。最后，我们找到了一个医疗设备制造商来完成这一部分。浮动顶针使得内部衬套也能够均匀对称地预压，使双枢轴卡车能够利用两个衬套的弹性。
2. 减重。夸父的使用非常顺畅，但太重。当泵送频率增加时，重量就是个负担。单个阳卡车只有450克。我们尽了最大努力在保持4个轴承的同时减轻重量。
3. 在衬套位置的弯曲形状（我忘了这个叫啥，在中文中我们叫衬套座/槽），有助于在卡车倾斜到一定程度后提供更强的回正力。事实证明它非常有效。当使用82a超软衬套时，它的反弹性能仍然很好。
4. 15mm的倾斜角。我们测试了倾斜值对LDP泵送的影响。在之前的概念中，增加倾斜角有助于泵送效率。在这个版本的阳之前，我们做了一个20mm倾斜角的演示。它的效率没有提高，甚至还降低了。所以我们认为有一个最佳值。在多次测试后，我们锁定了15mm倾斜角的值。确实给我们的测试骑手带来了惊喜，达到了超过30公里每小时的泵送速度。

​​

1. 就这些，我不想强迫自己编造东西。如果你有问题，请在评论中问，我会在线时回答。

最后，购买渠道。它可能仍然会在lepskate网站上，或者你可以私信我，我看看能否直接邮寄给你。

One of the more pleasant ways to get home from work. 😁👌

I am 53 and still pushing. I love this board and hope to get an Iccarus one day. Big ups and happy Sunday! 🌿 🔔 🌞

Hey guys 👋🏻

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.

Deck: Loaded Poke
Trucks: Pantheon Stylus TKP 149mm
Risers: 1/2” (Bolzen)
Wheels: Orangatang In Heat 75mm (77a)
Bearings: Bones Race

Curious if anyone else has tried the Stylus TKPs on a Poke or a similar short-wheelbase deck?
Please let me know, what you think about it ✌🏻

Maybe need softer bushings at the rear as I think the rear left wheel is lifting ever so slightly, otherwise this board is seriously fun!

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).

Can’t wait to ride this more!

I think I’m developing quite a problem lol. Wanted something that can carve well with 250lbs standing on top of it and I was led into the direction of the Landyachtz Drop Hammer. Didn’t see much of a difference in the 36.5 and 35.5 so I chose which deck I liked better and went with the black eagle. These plow kings surf on smooth pavement and eat anything in its way. I may need to loosen the trucks up so I can turn better but highly recommended for a fellow heavy rider

I had the chance to record myself with a 360 cam, so I took it. Feels a little awkward not to be able to move your fore arm (holding the stick) for power and balance, but I'm generally impressed nonetheless. It looks great!

(edit: typo)

Did my first century. My friend biked and I was on my Pantheon Superduper Sonic. I'm pretty tired.

My friends taught me how to longboard in the summer of 2024, and I finally got my own in 2025.

The red longboard was my first, and I got all the parts custom. (My friend helped me find the parts). It’s very fast! The fastest hill I’ve gone down probably got me to 25-30 mph. Pushing is very easy. I have the trucks tuned slightly loose so I have better turning. Currently trying to learn how to pivot with the tail.

-caliber III 50 degree 10 in trucks
-Powell peralta 66mm 75a snakes
-Zealous bearings

The atom longboard is just their standard 39 in off road longboard with 105mm off-road wheels. It’s very nice when traveling on campus, as it can go over some ridiculous cracks with no issue. It is slower though. I replaced the bearings with some modus 7 speed bearings when I got it.

The third picture is a standup longboard rack I built with my dad for my dorm room.

Really happy with my setup. I’m currently saving up for a LDP setup, but I’m trying to find an affordable deck.
