IG @cjthemountain Looking for downhill freeride friends, I'm just getting back into it after over ten years. Learning to ride a shorter board with narrow trucks, down for weekend sessions. Got a s...

@BBL @Logan Neikirk thanks , BBL : yeah, mags rock but now I opt for yellow Deltas I didn't know that , Logan.  it's crazy stiff & sounds like concrete when u tap it = 'makes sense (they...

@Dave Thorn I find the most benefit for me is with fast stand up toe sides. You can make a great pocket for your back foot to enhance the concave that is already on your board. Im on a Pantheon Ath...

Downhill & Freeride (to a lesser degree) is extremely easy to learn & get reasonable good at, given you have the proper equipment and terrain to skate. This isn't street skating, doing a tr...

Zenit wood is very dense or atleast everyone says it is

Looks Sick AF. Good choice of Wheels 

@F Llabata I think the Ronin gen1 are heavy & might make 1 of those lbs difference but , I swear , ordering 1 xtra ply and the full carbon offerings* for the thing make up that additional 2ish ...

Thats incredibly heavy for a board without a weight. Mine has a 420g (0.93 lb) hammer head and in total weighs a little above 4kg (8.8 lb). And our setup its not that different, including the big w...

u gotta work so gd hard to look like u aint workin at all  ....

I have noticed that my most recent - and favorite - grippy race setup is heavy when I compare it to my homies' and fellow crew setups.    I have a custom Zenit ( bullet mold/bullet shap...

update:   this now has a 22" wheelbase. I chopped/hacked the rear flush about 1/2" and made new holes with a Pat's RIsers  hole jig. Just forward about .75" It is just over 22" and i...

Footbreaking is generally more dangerous than sliding at high speeds, especially without brake pads. You slow down much slower than through sliding, and the chances of a serious (key word SERIOUS) ...

So I came across a video the other day with over a 100k views calming to teach the best longboard pushing technique. In the video the guy tells you that your heel should hit the ground first then r...

- Discipline ! Ride as much as you can, eery time you have free time. Consistence and regularity will make you progress - Never flex your muscles and ride with your ego. It's okey to be afraid to ...

@Jon LaPlant definitely !

@Kurt Derow  I tend to find the Voxter MK3.5DH in 170mm config, perfect for riding downhill full grip..........on a dropped board ! Not the slalom ones, the DH ones. In the early 2000's, I u...

I have 3 Zenit Draft. One of them is set up for freeride and lots of slides. I used to ride it with Bear Gen 6 ti 180 mm trucks and Orangatang Kegel 80mm 80A wheels. I switched to Rogue Cast trucks...

@Marshall Cook / Blank Wheel Co  I ride two boards equipped with Valk MK3.5DH in 170mm for both (Zenit Draft X2). The first setup has Riptide 97A bushings front and rear, boardside and roads...

@Logan Neikirk  there are many boardshops online selling the raceform S9s right now. I've seen them in the past few months being up for sale for as low as 31$ a set fresh skin 

I would definitely recommend trying one. I have a similar setup and do mostly fast freeride. You can put it on with velcro to find a good position. I started with it straight and ended up with it o...

@BBL send me links to these raceforms, I bought the last sets I could find in 78a. Sector 9 isn't even making raceforms anymore either so it's basically a discountinued product. I don't ride snake...

@Logan Neikirk  You can get S9 raceforms for cheaper than all the wheels you mentioned. & they are far superior to the wheels you mentioned, even the other S9 wheels  they are Halal...

Additions that are 10 dollars more or I forgot to add -blood orange 70mm Cole trotta pro, better then kevos to me and long lasting. Shape is similar to 71mm s9 raceforms -71mm s9 raceforms. Good ...

Sounds like a skill issue. We smokin mids 

@Logan Neikirk  Icey Haram Powell Wheels will never be Halal &  the only formula that is Halal for S9 is Raceforms
