i'm pretty sure the last 8 people i've seen violently eat shit were riding that exact setup.

Very interesting topic to exchange the background Infos and maybe end up with a much more pomplete understanding as brands don't exactly brag about this stuff.Most of my knowledge on this is ~10 ye...

Wheels straight up don't cost that much if you don't create a new wheel mold, it is not unlikely those cheapo wheels were made in the same factory as 75$ freeride wheels for the same production cos...

@Owen Campbell My oposition to that is lot of wheels have "race characteristics" but are a lot more forgiving and fun to ride due to their thane not being as grippy. This shows the importance of th...

@Sam Diefenbacher Based on some recent experiences, I have some suspicion that wheel shape can have just as much an effect on grip as the goo that goes into a urethane. I've seen a bunch of people ...

Great summary. I gave these a try on a friend's setup at Woodbooger and was astonished by how much less grip they had than Mags despite the rumor that they share the same formula. It has led me to ...

@Gabriel Fockler I know I'm reviving an old thread, but my understanding (from a couple 2nd and 3rd-hand sources) is that they didn't lose the formula, but their raw materials supplier slowly chang...

Are those Rain Skate Tsunamis? That is all.

@Matthew Johnson awesome grip tape job. I just put 50' savants on my shred with dragons and it's the most fun thing.

I really appreciate this info. Of all the precision truck brands, Aera is the one I probably know the least about. Thanks for breaking down their differences.

Rail match is not a lie anymore, get some narrower trucks 💯

@Matt Needs Wheels Got any other Phat Deanz stuff? I've been looking for a decent condition set of their wheels

@Kurt Derow  hahahaha 😂 got a solid chuckle out of me

@David Serate can you elaborate?

Registration is live! Head over to the website to fill out the Google form and get registered - the sooner the better, if you plan on attending, because the event is limited to 30 riders!

@Logan Neikirk never really got the Yoface name. Free wheels had some good ones.

@Jon LaPlant totally second the spherical bearing recommendation. I've only skated DH-Cybins and once I got the spherical, it really opened things up.

I think having an engagement loop (community meme of the week/2 weeks/month) from a thread HERE on wrongboarding could maybe drive people to the forums.
