Bought myself a lush legend second hand.

Trying to learn axle stall on this bank.

Tiger claw down a ledge, and back up again.

Couple of basic longboard tricks that I am comfortable with.

Been learning these. This is one of the first makes.

Hopefully some progression since the last video.

Riding mini ramp on my longboard. I'm pretty new to park skating so happy to have finally got some basic tricks down.

At the skate park with some friends

Trying out 180 slides. This particular spot is pretty slick so it's easy to initiate a slide at low speed.

Here are my favorite boards.

From left to right:

• Decathlon drop-through board. My first longboard. Not bad for the price, but the stock wheels are a bit small (59 mm), so I mounted bigger ones. Comfortable for LDP, but I'd like to replace this board with a double drop like a Pantheon Pranayama. Or maybe something better suited for pumping.

• Landyacht Dinghy Blunt with 72 mm Hawgs Plow King wheels. An excellent mini cruiser. Small enough to go shopping with.

• Loaded Chinchiller. Very versatile. My go-to board these days.

• Loaded Basalt Tesseract, with 76 mm Hawgs Zombies. Usually the board I chose for LDP.

few attempts at a tiger claw, inspired by a redditor who had put up some videos of themselves.

First time wheelbite!

I had been lucky enough to avoid wheelbite so far, even though I use rather big wheels on my boards, but my luck ended today. No big deal, I just rolled on the floor and got up unharmed with just a tiny scratch on one finger.

As for the context, I was riding my Loaded Tesseract, mounted with 76 mm Hawgs Zombies, and I was trying to gain speed by pumping rather hard. So I was leaning hard left and right. Hence the wheelbite.

Has it already happened to you? How did you deal with it?

It's been 3 weeks since I received my Loaded Chinchiller. I've used it mostly for moving around in the city and suburbs. I also tried a little bit of dancing and freestyle, and a bit of sliding too.

The board seems very versatile. The size of 34" is perfect for me, stable enough and easy to carry. The flex and the Paris V3 (with a 21" wheelbase) make it a very good carving machine.

The stock wheels (Orangatang 65 mm 80a Love Handles) are maybe a bit small for my liking, so I'm going to mount a set 72 mm Hawgs Plow Kings and see how it feels.

This is a test, to see if "article" posts have a better federation with Calckey than "link" posts.

Today is Go Skateboarding Day! Happy celebration to all!

Any thoughts about the Loaded Chinchiller?
It's probably the next board I'll buy. It looks pretty versatile and exactly the size I was looking for (34" long, 8.5" wide).
Cruising, carving, freeriding, tricks, maybe a bit of dancing... seems like this board can do it all!

Did you have the chance to try it? Are you looking to get one?
