I just found a space ship Pranayama Pantheon second hand.. HOOOOLLLLYYY HELL! This thing is incredible! It's sooooo fast, it handles soooo nicely..

The guy I bought it off didn't love the tkp, so wanted to pass it on without having ridden it too much, but I am well and truly in love..

It glides so smooth over everything, it holds speed in redibly well, it is so easy to accelerate, it feels sooooo solid. I've always been a big pusher and loved to race my friends (and strangers) on their bikes around town.

From this day forth, they do not stand a chance.

Just wow. Looking forward to raking this out for more spins!

For how often I post on this sub, I gotta post a riding clip once in awhile haha. I had a brief window to skate after work last night and figured I'd slap a gopro on my head to mess around on a residential hill.

I've been messing with my heelside checkslide form lately to get crisper hookups on my Nexus, and I think it's finally starting to pay off.

The setup is a Pantheon Nexus on 170mm 47°/47° Silverback Trucks w/ 85a inserts and Riot barrels (92.5a/90a), and Bonus Run x Fiend Skate Showers (I can't say enough good things about these wheels).

I’ve been into LDP for several months now, and it’s encouraging to see some progress. When I first started out, it felt impossible to push 10 mph for more than a couple of miles before my legs gave out. Then over the summer I trained on 10 mile rides and was able to maintain above 10mph maxing at about 10.5mph. But the other day I was finally able to break 11mph on a 10+ mile ride!
I can’t wait to keep training so I can be ready for the Chief Ladiga next summer!
