Senderson. But yes they are getting too small generally. Ride some big boats. They're still fun. I'm skating a 44" x 9.4" double kick with a 28" wheelbase on Cal 3 50s lately and that shi...

This looks like the work of a madman, and I'm all about it. Now go film a part with it so we can see it in all of its glory!
Wheel terms Durometer is the hardness of a wheel. The size of the wheel is how tall it is. Contact patch is the width of the wheel touching the ground. Cores are the center of a w...
@Gabriel Fockler I'm taking the controversial stance and saying people should start learning glove downs on a deck they could do some legit freeride on in the future.
Hahaha hell yeah, I appreciate it! All about the Phantom Menace! I'm working my way up to longer skates at higher paces and I'm definitely feeling it. The more I dial in, the better I feel! I'm doi...
Weights what works for you what doesn't what does it actually do? I run a 3lb weight i definitely feel a difference in terms of grounding the board. The biggest difference maker imo is pro...
Thank you for the post. I've been skating for 3-4 years now and I've never understood rake, until I got cal 3s from a complete. @joe the sabre website resource you posted is also absolutely goated
@Zach Maxon damn this was super and incredibly insightful and helpful. Thanks! Something tells me you're gonna be a powerhouse in the LDP scene soon, if u aren't alr (I know you started ldp rather ...
Just curious, anyone know how the Remember Optimos compare? They're the only wheel you can get off the Remember site right now, and if I'm getting into freeride I'm prolly getting those. There aren...
@Justin Chang anytime! I think it all comes down to personal preference, for sure, but I've been using double barrel (or larger bushings) in pretty much every setup I've ever used, except for park ...
@Zach Maxon Thanks Zach! This was still super helpful even if you weren't a dancer/freestyler. I think I might experiment with harder bushings, since the double barrels alr give more rebound...
I tried riding drifts flipped and they felt real nice, pretty hard to not slide out of cornering or turning a big slide into a 180 accidentally tho. Would recommend for a slide jam.
@John Oliver hi John-O!
@Gabriel Fockler lollll when I asked I was surprised to hear that I was the second. Guess I found it who was the first xd. I feel your pain brother, but it's all good. Good luck with the giveaway!
Not into freestyle or dance, but I can weigh in a bit on bushings! Double barrel is definitely going to have more rebound, and it'll want to return to center sooner than a barrel-cone setup will. T...

@Josh Gaudon I could take down a set of blank wheels in a day. Snakes last much longer than any other freeride wheel from another brand. It's the price divided by durability that you need to consid...
I went through every mod post, couldn't find it lol
@Josh Gaudon rip snakes being the budget cheat wheel
I don't feel like there's much dancers/freestylers here lol but anyways: Does bushings matter for freestyle? Would they help with the energy transfer with popping and other tricks? I know for dan...
@David Serate that's actually what I meant, haha, what the rake for each truck was. I have no idea why I used the phrasing that I did. That's super helpful, thank you!
