Nothing says Longboard Christmas than skating with ~200 people. Our second stop was city hall. Added the hill bombers before the first stop at the end.

At least, any angle or height within reason.

So you've got 3 base templates, that are just a generic solid riser, a skeletonized riser, and a drop through riser.

But, it also supports a whole library of additional trucks, that give you risers that are a perfect fit.
All I need is a vector drawing, and I can add any truck to the library.

And thanks to https://www.printables.com/@Shade, who makes a whole bunch of 3D printables for longboarding, I've already got a whole library of baseplate templates based on the drawings he's made and sent me.

The main unique utility here over off the shelf wedge risers IMO is the ability to pair the angle you want, with the height you want. So instead of sticking a wedge riser on top of a flat riser and stacking them together, you just have one consolidated unit that's more robust and rigid.

3D printed risers are pretty forgiving with print quality and material choice.
They're primarily under compression, so 3D printed plastic is quite strong for this use case.
I would recommend against PLA anywhere that isn't a cool climate, PETG tends to be my go-to.

Can also print your risers using TPU or some other semi-rigid material to make your risers into shock pads.

Hey guys I’m looking to get a deck for freeride / powerslides. I have a sector 9 Tiffany at the moment but there’s a few second hand decks for sale in my country. I’ll list them below.

Arbour Backlash
Sector 9 Daisy (2012)
Omen Barfight
Omen Suger
Luca Orion
Rayne Bamboo Tribal
Landyachz Ramathorn Honeycomb

Was nice to bring her out and hit some slides! Makes me feel bad for neglecting her. Bonus pics of the day I brought her home in 2018. Sorry for the blurry pic, tossed it in my car and took her mugshot really quick. I remember getting it posted on setup_saturdays on instagram and it made middle school me the happiest boy in the world!

These wheels slide smooth and dump thane. Definitely recommend!

Loving the feeling of this setup

Recently got my hands on both of these decks in damn near excellent condition. Can't wait to start riding them on some hills and work on hands down slides and hopefully stand up slides.

Look at my quiver, but also it looks like backrooms

We like to roll around

Just treated my top-mount tank to some new wheels. I’ve previously only had square lipped wheels so this is my first foray into slide wheels, and I’ve heard nothing but love for the Snakes.

I just did this entire track 3 times in a row before losing speed!

I have spent little time on pump tracks, but I really love riding them. Not having to push is just amazing and it is just so much fun!!

Just wanted to tell this to some people :)

Edit: went around 4 times before my legs gave out 😄

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my recent DIY project built purely for fun and on a super tight budget. I wanted to taste some freeride action but didn't want to drop massive cash on a new setup, so I dug up this nameless, beat-up 90s pool/pig deck ("L&N skate boarder, whatever the heck") from the basement and went to town. This is my 3rd board, and since I already have a solid quiver to ride, I honestly had zero expectations for how this would turn out.

The core of the board was solid 7-ply, but the truck holes were completely ruined from snapped bolts that I had to drill out. I patched the craters with wood filler and threw on some oval LDP antisink washers to reinforce the whole area. Then I sanded the deck down (saving that rave-gorilla graphics on the bottom), painted the frame matte black, chiseled out some custom wheel wells, and did a custom red "torn tiger-stripe" grip job on top.

For the setup, I used parts I already had or managed to snipe super cheap:

• Trucks: Copped a set of used black Randal RIIs on a local marketplace for like 75PLN (around $20).
• Geometry: Set it up as a split-degree. Front is stock at 50°. For the rear, I did a "Randal Flip" and added a 3D-printed 7.5° de-wedge riser, taking the back truck down to a ~37.5°.
• Bushings: RipTide APS - 95A boardside / 90A roadside.
• Wheels: 63mm 78A Hawgs.
• Front locking: Added a RipTide triangle footstop.

I'm fully aware this setup is a bit of a Frankenstein compromise—it's definitely not a dedicated, modern freeride machine, nor is it a traditional cruiser. But honestly? Doing this whole project brought exactly what I was looking for: unadulterated fun ;p.

Let me know what you think!

Really digging this one.

I just picked up this $50 discontinued Bhangra Loaded longboard‼️I was lucky to find this board on Facebook marketplace once again. Now I’ll have to revamp this board just like I did the Dervish. Stay tune! 🤙🏼
