Test
Longboarding has been a love of mine for many years and I want to spread that stoke. A forum like this is a great way to facilitate that long term in a broader way. We have area group chats connect...
@Sam Diefenbacher i know my hardcore bushings were actually be oversized for the k5s, and because they're slightly taller in the board side they could be feeling twitchy as they're not fully flush ...
@stollpatrick7 on insta im a downhill skater from San Diego i love to skate blacks every week but always down to get out and skate some gnarly runs in north county or out in the palmour moun...
Just thought I'd give my thoughts on these wheels as I've put about 3 hours of skating on them in the last few days. These are excellent downhill wheels a...
@Sam Diefenbacher Honestly I've had the most success running HPF or Krank in my Aeras. I haven't been able to get hardcores to feel as stable, I used to ride with some 85a's or 87a's in the f...
@Diego Murray I have k5's and I'm running 46/39 with 88a/88a hardcore bushings up front and 90a/93a hardcores in the rear. I still feel like my setup is a little too twitchy and reactive above...
@katarinanowack san diego! new to skating, im learning downhill, surfskate, dancing, and street. hit me up if you want to come to surfskate events (both coed and girls only!) for example this is w...
@thewombat001 on IG. Ventura/Santa Barbara. Learning DH and freeride, otherwise into park/bowl skating... still not that great tho😎
@Francisco Bocanegra Sounds like a customized setup! I think I plan on trying something similar with the Krank barrels, I was thinking I may go 84a/84a front and 87a/90a rear but in all barrels.&nb...
The Rocket Rooster has been my main freeride deck for a bit over a year now. With wheelbases from 25-27 inches and a width of 9.75 and fairly straight rai...

Nat here! We have a big scene in the Bay Area! Feel free to dm me (natseely.oden) or Baysessions2!! I'm always down to skate or teach skating, I do mostly downhill freeride.
Currently riding 48/29 150 mm k5s on a 21.5 inch wheelbase on a Pantheon Tortuga. Have a tiny amount of wheel overlapping my rails with minimal adverse effects. Freeriding downhill wheels on chunde...

@bhr Thank you for this, that makes sense based on how they're all feeling to me. I think I've heard K6 are 5.5 but I am not sure on that.
I just tried out my new to me set of Rogue slalom trucks for the first time today and I had a great time on them. Coming from Aeras and Zealous trucks, th...
@Diego Murray rake according to Kevin FB comments over the years:k3 - 1.5mmk4 - 4.5mmk5 - 2.5mmp2 - 5mmk6 - 5.5-6.5(?)mm - Can't recall him saying a specific number for k6 but he said its a touch m...
@Diego Murray ahhh thank you Diego. Leaning forward is kinda freaky but I'll keep trying
Honestly I'd rip even larger like 28-30 with a nice little drop through or drop platform. Like I know it's seen as kooky nowadays but they're still fun.
For learning I'd definitely try to aim for a wheelbase is the 24-27 inch range over anything shorter, just for the stability and ease of sliding over shorter wheelbases without running a large truc...
