That sucks!
I'll suggest earthwing if you want a big skateboard. I'd put this one on some tkp trucks (paris, indy, ace, etc.) https://earthwingskate.com/products/blunt-35 If you want to put lon...
I went from 130-148mm DH Cybins to 106-119 Rogue Slalom (v1s), no sphericals in either for me though. The jump from cast trucks to DH Cybins felt like a huge upgrade, and then the move to the narro...
@Kurt Derow this may be biased by personal preferences, but I feel like that split is too small and a 44 in the front just won't have the swoop for me either, weight or not. And like others said, t...
@Matt Needs Wheels good points across the board. @Kurt Derow I think that these are some good topics to cover with your buddy, if you haven't already. I still don't think you're blowing it, but any...
I'm looking for a kinda do-it-all deck, I love to cruise around and surf but also go pretty fast and hop over things. My current setups are heavy so doing an ollie is tough. I'm fairly ...
The most likely reason for speed wobbles in anyone starting out, or only going a speed a street skater could posibly go- is incorrect weight distribution, or overcorrection. As someone starting ou...
@Dan Robinson Hmmm what are you comparing them to when you say they are durable? I remember them being pretty middle of the road on wear.
Almost Cored Review: I picked up some new EZ Hawgs from @thriftskate_dot_com but Andrew said I should try to core the orange ones first because I was so close. But after 4 hours, they ar...
@Kurt Derow Lots of context provided, but there's a few ways this could be not cool imo. Not likely but since no-one else provided a opposing opinion yet, I will. Are people livin...
@Adam Hedrick , is there any footage from your event? I'm a Southern Utah geezer, living vicariously through the local youngsters. 😁
@Collin Kruse would love to hit a bowl with someone, I have 0 skate friends. Just getting back into it free many years of casual pushing.
Overall, I don't think you're doing anything wrong here. That's a pretty small group, and as long as they're capable, there's nothing about this that screams "BLOWING IT" to me. I did a bit more&nb...
Recently, I checked out a spot out in the sticks that my buddy shared with me. It was sick and pretty cutty so I thought "I want to get a group out here to skate". A little bit of info about my com...
@Bobomatic I'm a huge fan of the "feel" of a hanger spherical as it feels like there's less resistance to turning the front end and I can dive turn a lot faster/tighter. I have a friend who'...
@Kurt Derow at a 23 inch wheel base I don't necessarily think you need a weight yet. I feel like the weight would come in handy from 20"-17" wheelbasses. I'm on a 23.5wheelbase, I'm riding th...
@David Serate Price msrp in usd 2024 ronin - 575 Robot obliv - 475 Scythe reapers - 710 Zelous - 315 Rojas - 😬 Dont trips - round 450 Valkaries - round 500 Slalom rouge...
@David Serate Can't speak on sphericals because I've never skated them (another thing intriguing me about Reapers)... but Bryce said something like 44mm or basically a Cobra Core as a minimum. As f...
I've heard the zealous are very good, and i've seen em for like 260 recently - I'm a bit worried as reviewers (owen campbell) said they felt a bit more restrictive than the DH cybins (his favorite ...
Another vote for zealous. Very overpowered for their relatively cheap price. I did a review post a while back, they're very nice for small board freeride as well.
