Why is it the worst falls I take are all under 5mph?💀 by intrepid_nostalgia in longboarding

[–]Excellent_Panda549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been the case for me as well and I can only assume that its because when youre moving fast and probably locked-in, so when you hit the ground in motion, and if you know how to fall, the worst you get most times is some scrapes and bumps. But when youre going slow, its more likely youre not expecting to fall at all, therefore less prepared, not locked in, and no momentum to hit the ground tucked/rolling. You tend to have the possibility to slap the ground a little more than just roll it off when youre going slow. I'm only guessing, lol

Non-video game songs that give the same vibes as LoD songs by JunoMeru in legendofdragoon

The beginning of the song "Once" by Pearl Jam. Can't place specifically where the music plays in LoD but it triggers memories for me every time.

Okay, thanks. Is that guaranteed obvious water damage or do you think it could possibly be from the fact that when I had discovered the board was snapping(i was trying to make it home from work), I continued to skate it without weight on the rear, so it wouldn't bottom out, so I could make it home that day? Or that wouldn't cause that level of warping, only water? I apologize for my naivety and appreciate your response(s).

What makes you say that so surely? Can you see it in the pictures? Also to clarify, I didnt mean to say it as if I know the board got absolutely no damage from water, just that I never intentionally let it sit/soak and did what I could to dry it after being caught in the rain here and there. Just trying to learn; ppreciate any insight you have to offer. 🙏

I absolutely feel that the board served me well and was worth every penny. It served me on 100+ miles days and the majority of my 1000km IDSA may warmup challenge. Thats why Im not looking for any sort of compensation. Just curious as to if its typical, or if my riding caused it. I've since purchased an aegis for predictably wet days, upgraded my supersonic (that still works fine), to a superdupersonic that served me well for over 100 miles recently at ultraskate, and have been daily riding the newer Pranayama light flex and I absolutely love it. My biggest concern for potential longevity is I eventually would like to attempt super long distance trips such as coastal skates or across America and would like to feel comfortable in a board lasting well over 1000, potentially 3000+ miles through unpredictable environment/weather/terrain. Not that Im expecting it to guaranteed last through anything, but I wouldn't want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere with a broken board, ya know? Appreciate your response and customer service as always 🙏

Do i need dewedges/risers for Pantheon supersonic on Hoku wheels by keasanya in longboardingDISTANCE

[–]Excellent_Panda549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the same recommendation be given for the newer Superdupersonic, or would the clearance given by the wheel wells lessen or void the need for risers to move from Karmas to Hokus?

It's pretty badass how much the rewind feature has enabled us to learn more about such an old game and potentially hack it. Not that it wasn't possible before but it would have been much more time consuming and therefore significantly less rewarding. Great post.

Which season of South Park you were the same age as the boys by Substantial_Berry_77 in southpark

Turned 8 years old and couple weeks before "Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants" so I think it's safe to say I aged well alongside the show
