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...

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 ...
@Logan Neikirk Icey Haram Powell Wheels will never be Halal & the only formula that is Halal for S9 is Raceforms
@Logan Neikirk nothing made by pantheon or Powell is halal.. they are all Haram brudda
Red kevos, pasters, and primo pasters are all halal wheels
73a/77a front and 93a/97a rear, seismic bushings are a true tall bushings like riptides. I have never tried shr venoms but I don't hear them recommended for much besides ronins back in the day. But...
@Dave Thorn you won't regret it, especially if you get a skate tech torque block that is attached via Velcro. The biggest thing that's hard to get right is the position but with Velcro there is so ...
@Logan Neikirk what duro seismics are you on? I was tempted to try wfb also buy i know from past experiekce that they don't have the rebound feeling i want. Kinda like venom shr, they just turn but...
Brains trust My skating style is fast freeride and reasonable downhill (40-50 mph). Current setup is a rhino on zealous v1, green krimes. Considering putting a torque block on my setup, but...
Been riding zealous v1s for awhile now, tried them with venom bushings and riptide wfb. Just got seismic bushings aswell. I found these trucks to be too leany with lack of rebound with the riptide ...
