About this site
As a long distance push boarder myself, I’ve found it difficult to find the right setup for me, which resulted in doing some mispurchases.
I believe the community has the knowledge, therefore it just needs to be easier to share setups, to get & give effective feedback via online platforms.
That is why I've build this tool to make it easy to share your current, your dream or your complicated setup.
The tool can also be used to request feedback on a specific part.Just leave that part empty and share the URL to /r/longboarding, Discord or any other platform of your choosing and have the community discus on that part and share suggestions.
This is awesome! Kinda like PC Part Picker except for longboards.

Why is this site made?
There are multiple reasons, but to name a few
- I'd found it should be easier to get feedback on your setup, so that when you are ready to upgrade you can get the right new item!
- I wanted to learn Vue.js a Javascript frame work and this is my first real world project!
- Doesn't it look awesome? Why would you even question awesome things like this!
Here are some tools that have been used in the creation of this site.
Sketch
All UI sketches were first drawn in Sketch to get a feel for the general layout and figure out what components need to be realized.
View
Affinity Designer
Most of the SVG on the site are hand drawn using Affinity Designer. A great alternative if you don't want to be locked in to the Adobe suite.

Why can I only select decks, tucks and wheels? Where are my brackets, split duros!
Because getting the content for only these parts was a nightmare. I've contacted several vendors and brands, but only a few responded to my messages. This mean I needed to gather all the products by hand. Over the past half year I've imported 2000+ products, but this is far from a complete set. If you want to help be sure to submit a product. Or if you are a vendor and want to bulk import your product, be sure to let me know.
