What wheel do you absolutely hate. What characteristics do you hate about it?   I got a set of mis-poured Powell wheels at an event and they're absolutely my least favorite wheel. I hat...

I'm going to have to agree with @Gabriel Fockler here. I initially grabbed 130mm Aeons in a 45/30 split to try on a pumping setup with some wedging, not my cup of tea. Then threw them onto a garage...

I remember that people were talking about this a few wheels ago. Seems unnecessary to me but allegedly it makes the first few slides feel better? It was some pro guy that was washing magnums in a b...

I've only tried these a few times but I didn't really dig them. Wobbly but also don't really turn. Feels like reinventing the wheel to me. 

Just let the pavement take care of it

I just bite them and put them where I think they should go judging by how much they hurt my teeth

Been skating 130mm 45/30, comfortable skating freeride in the city and up around 50kph on a Fullbag Lightning Strike with the stock bushings at 160lbs. Probably fine going faster once I get more ti...

I have never done this either. Mold release can be oily, but I've never actually found mold release or any other oily residue on my new wheels. I feel like if people start finding this on their whe...

If you've never really noticed it or had a problem, or done it the past 20 years, then it should be fine? 💯 this is something that has never occurred to me in a decade of experience of my own. I...

Could you feel the wheel if there's oil on them? Just curious how often do you wash your wheels? Sometimes I just wipe the dirt of them. How do you clean your wheels? Soap and water?  If you'...

"I just watched a YouTube video from Downhill254 comparing downhill wheels and discussing how wheel companies use some sort of oil to aid in releasing them from the mold. They mentioned that these ...

@Anissa Chavez Great post! Although for dancing, this is not as strict, and we typically just use the same duro bushings boardside and roadside. Highly recommend the soft otang bushings, it's a sta...

@Justin Chang I take back this comment. I was a fool. So I've used zealouses in the past and I feel as though they don't roll as much, even if need to break them in, although I have an unopened pac...

On bikes in our local greenway when we pass we say "on your left/right" most of the time it works, but broken brain moments and all.

To change the bushings you first remove the big nut in center of the roadside part of the truck using a skate tool or ⅜ socket. This will give you access to taking off the washer, bushings and hang...

Looks awesome, nice setup!

I might try using the softer bushing combo in the back. If I standup toe to a stop, it can be hard to get the rear truck to steer out.  I like the restrictive seat for standup slides, but it ...

I like my Zealous's but I agree with @Peder HS .  I cannot get the stock bushings to work for me, but 93/95 feels pretty good.  I think Zealous may be the best skinny slalom downhill styl...

@nathskat, bakersfield, dh/fr, hmu, come skate repub with us up in bako

@nathskat/@miatanathan, bakersfield, dh/fr hmu if youre ever in the area! need more mfs to skatewith, the bako scene is nonexistient

You must be a friend of Jesus the way you're carving. Looks like a rip.

Haven't done any DH in a long time, but even when I'm doing LDP on paved trails or streets, I find myself shouting "Passing on your _____" because a lot of people (cyclists, pedestrians, other skat...

@squidshorts / Tacoma / Freeride and Downhill by I like all the rest too.  Like Evan said, check out our crew on Facebook: Tacoma Longboard Family, or on Instagram: @gritcitydisco. 

@Peder HS We need to formalize something on this skate scene wide. Same with other safety stuff. Imo.
