HI so I am trying to setup the new Cal precisions on a board with a 2.5 lb weight and a 23" wheelbase. Currently running 44/30 and it feels kind of bad. Like the swoop isn't tuned to the geometry o...

There's gonna be a chill 25 MPH race and "Anything-But-A-Skateboard-Race" in Draper, UT at Sunset on the last Friday of this month. All are welcome! Exact location will be shared closer to day of t...

How are you liking the Paris TKPs? I have been eyeing a set for a while, but have always skated Indys in the past. I'm guessing that the Paris are going to give a lot more turn rather than lean. Mi...
@Justin Chang what's the LTDL?? I just joined the IDSA, so I've got no idea what they've got going on in general, other than Ladiga and Ultraskate. I thought I was going to start slow when it come...
It was kind of swept under the rug, but the first release of dragonskins weren't properly bonded onto the core. The urethane literally popped off the core when i pulled on it. Glad that i pulled ov...
@Josh Gaudon Yes it was, they are fixed now. I knew how to push around before. I'm on about session 5 now, but this was my first time.
@Zach Maxon ooooo I'll be sure to look out for you during the LTDL. I'm really looking forward to what the IDSA is cooking up this year, after all, I'm helping them out this year. I'm trying to get...
@Kurt Derow of course! Take it all with a grain of salt, this is my first year really taking LDP seriously so everything is still evolving, haha. I will say that I've done about 200km for the IDSA ...
@Gabriel Fockler yeah, I can totally understand the hate for sphericals when it comes to freeride or DH. I think that they're pretty useful for LDP, but just because that twitchy feeling turns into...
@Justin Chang Thanks for turning lost forever info to not lost forever info. Yeah I've never heard of them breaking in downhill/freeride, which is where I'd be really not ok with that happening, bu...
I'm really loving my custom rhino racetail. I wish that i had copied your more mellow concave idea. Mine is the stock concave for the racetail, but with an extended 2" on the wheelbase. Im a tall g...
I will alternate between an X for one rotation, then flip left to right in the next rotation. Depending on the turns on the road, you might wear down one side more than the other. I'...
@Justin Chang haha, I'm just being a bit hyperbolic. I do think that not adjusting the 50 plate to take tall bushings was a big mistake, especially because they also didnt bother to fix that on the...
Cool thanks for sharing. I'll definitly refer to this if and when I need ldp tips.
@Justin Chang @Matt Needs Wheels here's a place I'd trust to get kingpins: https://www.sk8kings.com/aircraft-steel-bolt-an6-kingpin-lock-nut-three-sizes-1-boltnut.html I mostly hear of snap...

@Gabriel Fockler wait lmao what other reasons are on the list I'm curious. Ever since I saw your review on the zealouses and the other precisions I was like dang this guy knows what up and knows th...
@Matt Needs Wheels This is more something that happens with freestyle, but as freestyle is somewhat synonymous/paired with dancing, so I'm not sure if it's as common for freeride/downhill. But afte...
@Justin Chang What do they replace the kingpin with? Something upgraded? Also for clarification this is something that happens with dancing? I've never heard this about them before but I'm not in t...
Yes his name is Hans Frank.
