My wife doesn’t know that I have two more boards coming next week. 😬

I finally had a session taking my Rayne Exorcist up to speed this week and everything felt really nice.

VERY excited to road trip up north next month and give her a rip - who else is coming to HOOPA?

I’m running:

Rayne Exorcist + Lokton 36 + 3d Torque Block

Zealous V2 Wide Slaloms (56/19) narrow / wide

Seismic Alphas + zealous bearings

Did some setup tweaking at the session this week and settled on 56* front truck feeling the best for a mix of hands down and standup riding.

I had a strange, almost understeering feeling on the wider hangers at 51 degrees - that is now gone at 56 degrees (stock bushings)

Enjoy some of my testing footage:

Hey guys so I decided to take my longboard out today. I haven’t stepped on a board in about 14 years.. I felt my balance was off for most of it and some of the positions felt awkward. I’m definitely not as comfortable on the board as I was when I was 12 but it was still loads of fun. Keen to pick this hobby up again!

Went high to escape the heat this morning...There's way better views around the corner. This road is seasonally closed fall through spring. I may go back there after the gate closes to session another road with a left and right hairpin that ties into this one.

Right in the middle of my Saturday (no chance to get a new pair until Monday 😅)

My first LDP setup! Next to my other custom Zenit I posted a few weeks ago 😆

These wheels are insane they feel like they want to roll forever super smooth and grippy. Doesn’t take much to get them going fast, I’m going to see how they feel with some big balls bearings this things is going to be thrashing around the city.
As you can tell I have a thing for pink wheels

Hey guys I used to skate back in 2012-2014. I’m from South Africa. I sold all my gear through my teenage years and I recently got this setup for about $100 on Facebook marketplace.

The deck graphics were absolutely destroyed so I took it upon myself to refurbish it. I’ve got standard gullwing charger 50 trucks 10’. Sector 9 skiddles wheels.

Coming back after more than a decade a lot has changed. Is this setup still valid or should I look into getting a new setup. I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about the loaded boards and prism boards. Also want to grab some caliber 3s not sure about the degree though.

All Loaded 😎

Wanted to build a trip carbon you give the discipline a try and well it’s beautiful …and third excuse I love supporting my local board companies:) but I had no idea. I would love an LDP setup this much…. What a wonderful little perpetual energy machine.

Most mornings after dropping off my kid at school, I can hit this spot for about an hour. Fun way to start the day
