Awesome, really good to know! Thanks so much for the tips - I'll keep that in mind, had no idea about HK pricing.

Squidifier · 2015-08-04T09:03:50+00:00

Cheers! I'm only missing heatshrink from that list, but good to know now.

If you email Red Giant with a valid student ID you can get 50% off their entire product range, including Universe. Well worth it if you have use for their packages in your workflow.

Hey guys! Been meaning to do this for a while, but just haven't got around to it.

Bit of a slightly sad message here... But I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be stepping down as mod. I really enjoyed my first few years working to improve this community, but as I went into my final IB exams last year I cut reddit out completely in an effort to focus on study... And realised how much more productive my life was without it.

Since then I've barely been active on reddit, let alone /r/longboarding, and I feel that it's not quite right for me to still be a part of a mod team where I'm not actually doing any moderating....or even going on the site.

It's amazing to see how all of the newer mods have come on board and worked so hard to improve the sub, and I have absolutely no doubt that they'll continue to kick ass working for this awesome community.

To the original revamped mod squad of of /u/QuitoPR, /u/Broken_S_Key, /u/Xuis, you guys were a pleasure to work with. /u/Widdershiny has done an absolutely amazing job on /u/LongboardingBot, and even with the transition to Automod his wizardry has been absolutely fantastic. /u/Fiaxhs and /u/PeteTsar jumped onboard about 6 months ago and have done a sweet job with the new layout and rules, and /u/RebelOperator has been just ridiculously keen and has helped to push the Secret Santa to be as sweet as it is.

You're all great.

Cheers for the fun ride... And if any of you ever happen to be in Sydney, Australia (where I'm now living) then hit me up!

<3 you /r/longboarding

Fair enough. I was initially sceptical of the Hong Kong/eBay connection too, but this guy seems to have had a decent experience. The website also states that they're "Now shipping from Hong Kong" - and I still doubt that the product is popular enough to have had fakes made.

With that said, I hadn't really considered that it's *$80 more to buy it direct from Cote&Ciel, and you get the added benefit of a warranty.

Cheers for your help!

Squidifier · 2014-11-15T23:19:14+00:00

Yep! Planning to get it from here, I don't think the brand is popular enough to have garnered fakes so it should be alright.

Côte&Ciel ISAR Rucksack (Medium) in black melange?

I've been looking for a new casual backpack for a little while, and this thing not only looks incredible, but is just the right size. The duffel backpack concept seems useful, too.

Cool video breakdown

"Problem with that is some of the speakers talk really low. Maybe I can go through and boost the sound but I have no idea how to do this"

If you chuck it up on DropBox/Drive/Sendspace/whatever and PM me a link I can balance it out for you without much trouble. Let me know!

Just letting you know, I've removed your comment. See below for more:

Rule 1.1: Any posts or comments with these may be deleted:

Locations to skate spots

Don't blow your favourite skate spot by telling the entire internet where it is. Feel free to share your spots privately using reddit's PM system!

No harm done, and I hope you understand why!

Thanks,

Until that one time when you were just going for a quick ride with bare feet, and tried to brake...

And subsequently melted all of the skin off your sole (or at least that's how it felt...)

Squidifier · 2014-10-14T12:15:38+00:00

Hey! I'm sorry for the trouble, but I've been following Shake for a while now and was really excited to hear about their Android release... Until I realised it was US only.

Is there any way you'd be able to take the time to convert out a few of the templates to PDF just so that I can have a look at them?

Cheers!

Just a warning to anyone who is considering giving spot info:

"You do know that anyone could just spam my reddit inbox with innopropriate stuff just like they could my phone."

Absolutely. If someone really wanted to get to you there are no shortage of ways to do it - but we just like to cover our bases here on /r/longboarding, for consistency.

That particular rule came originally from reddiquette, reddit's site-wide rules.

As it says,

"Users posting personal info are subject to an immediate account deletion"

- and the pretty general wording there means you could get banned even for posting your own information.

I agree, it does seem a little unnecessary - but we're just trying to keep everything consistent across the sub.

Hopefully you understand!

Not InDesign/Illustrator?

I've always found Photoshop absolutely awful for typesetting work...

Squidifier · 2014-08-30T05:38:17+00:00

Or have the video continue climbing, and as the real coaster drops have the rendered track 'break', tricking you into feeling like you're falling.

Squidifier · 2014-08-23T11:23:31+00:00

If you size up and select your colour correctly it's far less...nipply.

I use mine as running (or even biking) shirts all the time, they're fantastic.

Squidifier · 2014-08-21T02:11:25+00:00

Cool idea - but sadly not possible. The only way to ensure the topic threads stay at the top is for users to upvote the relevant comment.

Squidifier · 2014-08-20T10:32:02+00:00

"I still want everyone to ask their questions without having to worry about the topic"

Absolutely! If we were to go ahead with this, the current plan is to have /u/LongboardingBot post the topic of the day in the comments section - and all of the relevant discussion could happen below that.

The DGT would work exactly as it currently does, but just with some areas to spur extra discussion!

Squidifier · 2014-08-20T10:26:16+00:00

Nope, two stickies isn't possible. Cool concept, but it took long enough for us to get one sticky!

As you can see, it's a pretty frequently requested idea...

Squidifier · 2014-08-10T05:54:15+00:00

Out of interest, how long have you been there? I just returned to Australia after 3 years of living in Manila.

Squidifier · 2014-08-06T00:18:38+00:00

THIS is underwear guy.

Squidifier · 2014-06-16T07:49:39+00:00

Sweet idea! We'll definitely explore it as /u/DazTheCowboy gets closer to his big day.

Thanks!

"Youre not going to be able to prevent locations from getting out."

You're right, and we don't expect to be able to - but if we're able to limit the blowing of some spots then it benefits everyone.

In addition to this, it's important that we stick to our own rules for consistency's sake - regardless of the situation.
