@Matt Needs Wheels most definitely!. Realistically, I'm riding budget whenever I can, especially when it comes to wheels since they're one of the more disposable parts of a setup. They're gonna get...

@cstik Brings up the point that fresh wheels sent out all the time, which reminds me, to remind starters, a huge amount of what you are seeing as a "popular with the big senders" wheel, or other ge...

@cstik thanks for all of the input and the context!  No need to compare yourself against what you see on insta - just grab a board that's comfy and appropriate, cast trucks you like with so...

^ need kneepads. Both gabe and I had our knees saved eating shit within a 1 hour timespan a couple days ago. Even at slow speeds knee taps will ruin your whole week - and starting out you need to s...

@Gabriel Fockler good points! Thinking on it, you're right about the wheels and the safety gear, and I wholeheartedly agree. In terms of the bearings, I was mostly using hyperbole, and talking WDS ...

Very good post, but I disagree with a few points.  Wheels - if you're learning freeride and downhill, the first thing to do is to learn to slide both ways. You'll want a slick (round lip, cen...

So you've got your new DH / freeride board. What now? How do you get comfortable on your new board? There are a number of different things that you can do to get comfortable before trying to skate ...

@Nate Blackburn said it perfectly. I like the drifts because I find snakes to be a bit too icy for my liking on certain pavement. They do get pretty bitey when they wear down. But fresh out of the ...

Show off your dance collection here:   I'm missing a retired pantheon logos in there. Some of these boards aren't mine or I got for free. Placed in the order I obtained them.

Watching videos of people going stupid  fast downhills is both inspiring and discouraging. Most of the time, when you see something like that, you're probably wondering, "What do you even need...

Frankly, I'm a downright hater for push-up slides. They are functionally not applicable to any other slide, and the only thing you might be able to say you get out of them is the feeling of sliding...

theoretically speaking, everyone should try to master all the essential starter slides and be able to perform all of them with an adequate technical prowess. learn all slides and get good at everyo...

I see y’all writing good instructional stuff for the free a few places; group chats, reddit, FB, direct to the homies etc. By using this forum you already have some chance at getting somethin...

Depends on what you're looking for! I've done a lot of wedging and dewedging on pumping setups that use TKP trucks, like Bennett / Tracker setups. For cruising, I'll do anywhere from a 5 to 7 degr...

What's the consensus like on wedging TKP trucks, seems like a lot less of an exact science than RKP. I see comet and happy board co. doing it, and while I've tried it myself, it seems to make the t...

this a racetail? regardless it fucks  

@nova did you do any nose chops on it? That customization aspect is very appealing to me. Also, do you run it with a brick or not?

@David Serate yupppp thats exactly what I did pre Pat's Risers

I just ordered a New Olders blackbird v2 in matte black with a gold visor / logo. What are your thoughts on helmet art and paintjobs? Of course, the really clean automotive-style paintjobs are...

@Matt Needs Wheels If you want to get extra spicy, get a sharp razor and cut the plug off the barrel and have a makeshift insert bushing. Alternatively, get the Pats Risers insert bushings for what...

I wish I knew that "good" pavement was usually kinda shit to slide on and "shit" pavement was real good to slide on
