For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

3.- POWERGREEN

This board is special because it's maple (or bamboo) recovered with some kind of fiber.

I've tried it myself and I think it's reliable and comfortable.

Bearings ABEC 7 (good ones)

Trucks 180mm MR LI (same as above, "Collect Deck" - good and reliable)

Wheels: TYPHOON 76mm 70A (Soft, very hard to slide or to slip away, reliable)

I personally recommend the "POWER GREEN" Since it's a board that I've already tried and I think it's good enough for both beginner and advanced riders. It's Chinese but it does its job... well.  If you're really interested in buying one of these decks, I will personally make sure they are delivered to you. I can help you with the purchase with no additional cost.

All this boards are available in www.taobao.com  . We can also ask for Helmets, gloves, kneepads, elbowpads, etc. They're not expensive and they can save your ass when you need them to. 

And of course there are other models which vary on price and quality. We can also ship incredibly awesome decks from overseas! All the best brands! www.switchbacklongboards.com

Please feel free to ask or comment anything you want. I am looking forward for our first ride !



And the best for the last !
