Picking Your First Board If this isn’t your first board, please click this link for the general Gear Guide (coming soon). - So, you saw some videos online and skateboarding looks super fun...
Cringiest skate memory was probably going to my local to show my new at the time, girlfriend what downhill was like, wobbled off a pothole and got absolutely smoked right infront of her and a line ...
First $50 takes 'em, shipped. I'm living a nomad life starting in 10 days and don't want to bring these with me.
This is my thinking, in graph form.
@Kurt Derow I agree with 100% of what you said, if anyone said "hm maybe I'll try DH" there's no way I'm teaching them predrifts first, they take too much comitment for the initial little reward at...
@Gabriel Fockler it looks like @Trenton Teter beat you to it. I feel this is a little different than a clasicly taught 2 hand tony style of "just throw your hands and weight at the ground and aim b...
This is a tough one. I agree that they ruin the progression for learning actual predrifts. It's a whole different slide to grab rail. that being said, it's also just the easiest slide, and if ...
@Gabriel Fockler Switch Meerkat by far, although I thought the Pantheon Logos was pretty good. Currently testing to see if my current Switch's durability outlasts my previous board (Logos)
@Matt Needs Wheels I love doing two hand Tony's, can't relate
@Teplitzskate nah I had friends who made it out, but personally didn't, still a grom. (clearly, since I'm yapping instead of skating rn)

@Carlos Cabrera having washed my red leaf magnums they went from very slippery when touching each other to having vice like grip. It's more a thing for racers on a highly competitive level to know ...

Heck yeah dude! Did you make it out to GHF by chance?
@Gabriel Fockler they do make them still! Wild, considering the first time I thought about them in a decade was when they were posted on here recently. Could also consider Riptide Chubbies, they ha...
Way back when, I used to do venom Elim bottoms and bones hardcore street cones on top. Not sure if those are made anymore but that might be the trick.
Which one has been your favorite?

@Terence Liu I haven't had an opportunity to mess with Bears yet, but I definitely want to. As you dewedge the rear end, it starts to become closer to zero, and is only really meant to lean and fol...
@Zach Maxon I actually have bear trucks (de)/wedged 7 degrees as of right now. Definitely haven't figured out how exactly it works though. I'm finding that the back is a lot softer almost no matter...
I want to go film some good two handers with weight on the board still to put this "they are useless" talk to bed.
@Terence Liu I think @Gabriel Fockler has given the best advice on it: I wouldn't overthink it. Unless you're trying to do something technical with TKPs, +/-7 is a great spot to be in. If it ...
