BUY A REAL DH SETUP my way of learning sucked. Due to some not sound advice/some possible doubt that I actually wanted to DH. I spent maybe a year on extremely bent, like stance car bent Ran...
@Matt Needs Wheels A 47" Gravity board is literally what I started riding with Gullwings and 78a wheels😂 I learned to drift slide it, then finally got a stiff Evo. I think bushings(softer th...
The 88Wheel Co Mavericks have never been skated. Cruised on the Otangs for a bit, but nothing wild. Still have sharp lips and skin on all 4 wheels. Get these out of my skate box because I'll never ...
@Gabriel Fockler same here, got them for my k5 and haven't really felt the need to find something new since. Really enjoying skating it
@Wil White in theory yes you would compress them equally, but over my experience riding I find that the boardside often takes the load. Choosing a good boardside helps you define your center ...
I'll find any excuse to post this photo and shout out Meat Bicycle Skateboards... This is my daily driver at this point - the Meat Grinder. Mine is a bit bigger than the current production Meat Gri...
HOW TO STOP ON YOUR LONGBOARD So you scooped your first longboard and realized that… you don’t know how to stop. That’s ok, you don’t need to stop. Ok, but seriously the...
@Trent Teter exactly where I'm at right now. Relearning is a pain, but it'll be worth it for at least a couple of disciplines. I'll still skate mongo mostly though, haha!
this is my current deck and I have to say it is the best thing I've ever skated. I think it is the most unique concept for a modern downhill board by having the camber under the front foot. to me, ...
Something I wish I knew was how many pair pants I'd chew through in my beginning phases of skating. Also generally invest in your safety. Whether that's taking an extra session or two to fine tune ...
I ride this 18 in WB board with stylus trucks personally. Love this thing.
I am alone on this... but I am personally a avid commet cruiser hater, I feel like the design process was "how can we make the cheapest board possible" since it's tiny and thin. I just hate the fle...
Insert bushings are a needed upgrade that I think will never go back from!
Blood Orange Drifts; hands down my go to wheel for freeride. 81a and 78a cause flavors are sweet. 81a for all round freeride, 78a if you want to go a bit faster or stop a little harder Bangers wo...
Probably my go to wheel currently, I'm not a huge Powell person like the meta. I've found these wheels to essentially be the new era Morgan. More in the pace feel than the competitors, still l...
@Zach Maxon real. Learn the basics and learn them right that way you progress into a butterfly and not feel cornered into a style of skating or limited by your abilities
I wish I knew not to be so stubborn towards social media when I had first started. I could've found friends to learn with/from sooner
This is the deck I was thinking of chopping into skinny cruiser, aka poor man's comet cruiser 9.5 x 40" | Wheelbase 26.5"
I want to start a thread here with intent on sharing your different slower speed cruiser/ side walk slasher set ups, comet cruisers and like welcome too. this is my bonzing diet fatty that I'v...
If you're here reading this you're more than likely familiar with pats risers, but if you are not you should be! They provide some rad gear from a plethora of risers, wedges and foot stops, but my ...
I wish I knew that skating as a whole is so fluid, it is very abstract and on a spectrum of style to effort and enjoyment. Everyone experiences this differently, I think I just wanted to learn abou...
I've been very impressed with foster any time that I have seen them irl. Very nice construction, tasteful freeride and downhill shapes, just very nice boards at a competitive price. Also love to se...
To buy polyurethane boards for dance/freestyle. Never went back to wood.
