Noob Question - So I got this cruiser and it came complete with these trucks, but no riser pads. It's been a damn long time since I paid attention to hardware. Is no riser pads a thing now? Or did I get a bum deal? The board seems to ride fine fwiw.
- If it rides fine, you're comfortable, and there's no wheelbite then you are totally good.nocomply
- If you have the trucks adjusted to where your carve/turns are comfortable and you don't get any wheelbite on the deck I'd say you're good.jonny_quest_lives
- Riser pads would extend the life of the board as they take the pressure off the wood where the trucks would usually be resting directly against the deck.jonny_quest_lives
- apologies to nocomply... didn't read his comment.jonny_quest_lives
- Yeah you might get more pressure cracks in the deck without risers, but I've never seen one of those cracks actually lead to a snapped board in all my life.nocomply
- Or maybe it's just that I hardly ever snap boards.nocomply

My 5 year old son recently got a little street cruiser made by Gold Coast. I've taken some rides on it for the first time in a LONG time. It felt great and now I want to get a board for myself. I'm just looking to push around on flat land with my boys, no tricks.
Down to these two boards, can I get some thoughts on if either of them is better/worse than the other? Thanks in advance for any help.https://smile.amazon.com/Gold-Co…

- If you are taking a trip down nostalgia lane why not get a reissue board? Have some fun putting together a custom board...microkorg
- Grab a Powell / Santa Cruz / Vision with some big ol soft wheels like Santa Cruz Slime Balls. Go all out with ribs too :)microkorg
- +1 @microkorg and let your kid pick the board design: santacruzskateboards...uan

Ive been teaching myself how to longboard the past month or so, Im really enjoying it and finding its helping me get off my ass at least every other day but usually every day or so to check out spots in the neighbourhood and beyond that i can push to find a nice gradual spot to ride down. I feel like i really shit the bed not trying it a looooooooot sooner cuz i really dig it but man it hurts my 37 year old deskbound non-muscles. :D

- only question I have is what to do when shit blows into the flat bottom? Sweeping it out would be cumbersome. Still'd be worth it.brandonp

- I've seriously been pricing a 3-4ft high mini ramp for our back yard. Moved to this place in November and has big back garden that could fit a wee ramp ;)microkorg
- When I'm 40 I'm going to cash in on the midlife-crisis thing and get a half-pipe built in our backyard. Been warning my wife for years in preparation.nocomply

A bunch of our Pro-Tec athletes were in Malmo, Sweden last week for Vert Attack 12. The contest was insane. Our video guy went and made this edit for Thrasher.
