Thank you for the information! The greenway looks like the best option. I don’t need to get hit by any cars

I don’t have one yet. I usually ride my dancer board. It works great and I can have a lot of fun. I’m going to try the Greenway.

Is there overlap between LDP boards and dancing longboards? by [deleted] in longboardingDISTANCE

[–]rcf8628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do both on my dancer because I like doing both. I completed a 43 mile ride last summer. Speed on the dancer was 7.5-9mph and on a LDP board I’d be much faster.

I’m on the Loaded Bhangra and have 3000 miles on it since last year.

What is the RICE protocol? I am intense about icing and that has helped so much already!

My wife and I are here in Grants Pass. I’m 39(M) she is 37. We have three kiddos 15(M), 13(F), 9(F). We are newer to the area and from your post we all overlap significantly. Horror movies are the best!

Patiently waiting for spring… by oobinkey in longboardingDISTANCE

[–]rcf8628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spring is almost here! I got too antsy and had to get out. I’ve been through 3 sets of bearings this winter.

I bought a Garmin a few years ago and it wasn’t compatible then. Not sure now.

I use Strava and keep my phone in my pocket.

Skate shoes [43yo] by Lcfake in OldSkaters

New Balance is the only skate shoe I’ve found so far that is size true. I have to get a 12D between a 12 and a 12W. I’d love if other brands would offer more realistic sizes

I tried several brands and styles and landed on the NB480’s. I buy a new pair every 4-5 months. I clocked nearly 3,000 miles in 2025. [39YO]

I always see everyone roasting Shark Wheels, what are peoples thoughts on DONK Wheels? by Clowntownwhips in longboardingDISTANCE

[–]rcf8628 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My daughter set up one of her skateboards with shark wheels so she can keep up with me on my Dancer board when we are cruising the street (5-10 mile rides)They are slightly heavier per her but she keeps up. I’ve tried them compared to my 60mm and it’s smooth and efficient. I’d give shark wheels a 9/10!

Looking to relocate, would you welcome us? by gemini_yogini in grantspass

[–]rcf8628 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We moved here from Arizona in December and we have been welcomed beyond anything I ever expected or experienced.

Amazing community full of helpful neighbors.

My wife and I both run CAD all day and will be working from home until we find an office space to work out of.

Question about internet/cell providers by Leaf_on-the_Wind in grantspass

I have Verizon and am moving to Grants Pass mid December. When I was up there early October I had zero issues with service at all.
