@Thomas Shoegoo on the glovetips & the part of your gloves where you grip the board is actually SUPER good. Extends the life just a touch!

Most ronin stuff is cross compatible with itself fyi. Boardnamics needs to be on their, 48/33 split precision cals esentially for a little less, and a extra 10 mm of width. Anything else?
@Mountain Dew Samples It's gonna get gnasty and bad for ya 90% of the time. Did meet someone who let it be and then it was visable under the skin for years after.
Cops are definitely getting called if I catch someone grabbing stinkbug
@Chris Wroblewski ok fine, maybe I'll try it ♥️ What's the purpose of raising the rear? I've always been neurotic about keeping it 100% level.
@Mountain Dew Samples mostly, it's an infection hazard. When anything punctures the skin (think splinter, animal bite, etc.) a pocket can be left behind where bacteria lives. Over time, the bacteri...

@Kurt Derow Nawr, similar size and shape to ojoom, no idea how they slide, they stopped making em 10 years ago and made very few.
@Mountain Dew Samples I'm no doc, which is who you should really ask, but it's gotta come out.
I got some road rash while camping and triaged it and thought I was chill. A few weeks later, there is some leftover gravel in it, kinda healing like little cysts. Anyone have something like this b...
@Matt Needs Wheels 100% it's essentially a rail grab position for a toe side predict and then I just use my core more and transfer my hand over to the inside pavement. You can even grab inside rail...
@another_rad_dad / Toronto / freeride, techslide and more recently LDP
@Terence Liu these are great! I'd say they're still beginner level, for sure, and they really allow you to build good habits as you're getting started. @David Serate I like th idea of bringi...
