I do not dislike this idea.  it made me 🤔 if one couldn't have skate shoe soled w the grater surfaces, surface ur board w only 5mm rubber ....to then just do away with grip tape altogether?&n...

Some more extra pictures just in case. And yes, it came to me while I was grating cheese and my finger slipped... A veteran rider told me that he had already seen something similar a long time ago,...

I've been trying a new idea for a few months to improve the grip of my board on my feet. The griptape is certainly an effective solution but it gets dirty, loses stones, gets “clogged” ...

as far as I know I'm the first person to bomb into a standup at the bottom from the left  Standing very hard

You should be fine. Torsional flex interferes the most with stand up toe sides. I dont mind a good amount of flex on my prism theory v2 (also a 7 ply with fiber glass). It's not going to kill you. ...

How much torsional flex should actually worry me as a beginner? Context: I have a 2016 Kebbek Emma Daigle Switchback and its 7ply with fiberglass. I've never had the time to fully commit to learni...

Hi y'all! I'm Andrés, from Madrid (Spain). Just dropping by to share my cruiser. It's a Rayne Brightside (34"x9.25", 21-22" wheelbase). Maybe not intended as a cruiser, but at my 50y/o, 1.80...

@Logan Neikirk I'll dtart with just swapping bushings and see if I need more turn than that, haha. Have you taken the defcon bushings to speed yet? The stock Venoms were rock solid stability for me...

@Alex Guerra yep pats just released them for the zealous trucks, they definitely add a lot of turn to the front truck. You won't be disappointed with the seismic bushings just be ready to turn lol

@Logan Neikirk wow, 75a inserts? I didn't know soft inserts were a think. I've got the 95a ones. Do the spfter ones allow more turn or whats the difference? Im going to order some Seismic bushings ...

@Logan Neikirk update the seismic bushings are amazing in the zealous and also the 75a pats risers inserts in the front feel great aswell. If you don't like the feel of venoms in these trucks and w...

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...
