@Matt Needs Wheels  warehouse skateboards (online) has 78mm blast waves in defcon formula for 71$ if that helps at all 

Thank you,  appreciate it!

@J Smith Slightly thaney/slidey thaney wheels, since the tar disintegrates more than some longer-lasting wheels thane does, it feels wrong, which is why you get the black coated contact patch with ...

@BBL Big agree, the only reason ive personally not bought them (been through a few scrubs tho) is  cost. 

I can definitely recommend the slates. super fun do it all wheel. 

Just moved states. The only hill within pushing distance is very fresh asphalt, the kind that leaves black tar lines. I can't get out to other spots much due to parenting responsibilities. Has any...

@Christopher Castro yeah I remember throwing a barracuda and it was enjoyable 

@Marshall Cook / Blank Wheel Co I love the new options definitely getting a set of the round lips soon 

@BBL I have a set of speed vents I'm going to skate again so I'll see how they are

@BBL I like the way wheels slide with a wide contact patch and compared to other race wheels these still aren't that wide.

@BBL nah, Nashville . @musiccitydh 😉   speedvents are dope. I'd say for past 2 seasons including this one , Seismic is the dominant wheel in racing.   

@Jefe W  ok fair enough, I haven't tried Deltas. Thanks for the input. The formula is based on the DEFCON & is very similar. I'm still riding the same defcon speed vents I got back in 201...

I dare say that the g-loc Delta formula surpasses DefCon in performance, durability & both grip + the slide G-Loc was designed for high rebound and speed retention, with availability in 73.5A ...

@Logan Neikirk Ill speak on behalf of the slates as an option. They are thaners. But they also have placed on a few podiums strictly because of the intensity of the skin. Post skin they're some of ...

@Logan Neikirk when the wheel is too wide, it actually compromises grip rather than improving it

@Logan Neikirk  seismic speed vents 73mm  they last so long, they are cheaper than comparatively cheaper wheels that wear faster 

It's obvious by now. Seismic and its defcon formula, is the greatest in the world. I'm sure the vast majority of you agree.

Made a new torque block out of an old surfskate deck's kicktail - mounted slightly slanted. A buddy spray-painted some belt-sander pink and gave me some. So I used it on this torque block.

Does this happen to anyone else? I'll struggle a ton to put down decent lines at a practice spot and I'll be cursing myself for forgetting how to skate race wheels properly. I'll repeat the same sl...

@Niall Rawn very helpful! And, honestly, if Valkyrie wants you to do it, it's probably a good idea to do it. I tried it myself already for several months, using the deburring tool, and I can say i...

Afraid I can't help with finding that user, but Nelson still has their calculator page up in case you weren't aware: https://nelsonlongboards.com/pages/turning-radius-calculator#sthash.P4kdpxRk.dpb...

Old thread, I know, but I just found that Valkyrie has some tips and a 3D print file for a bushing holder for doing this operation yourself: https://www.valkyrietruckco.com/slalom-setup-guides ...

@Darcy Andrews as a beginner don't worry about it, at a later date maybe.

Just got my freeride version. I tried a few different bushings, so far I really like tall venoms in front 85/78 and a tall ronin 98/ short 95 venom. The scythe bushings feel pretty good as well, bu...
