@bhr Thank you for this, that makes sense based on how they're all feeling to me. I think I've heard K6 are 5.5 but I am not sure on that.

I just tried out my new to me set of Rogue slalom trucks for the first time today and I had a great time on them. Coming from Aeras and Zealous trucks, th...
@Diego Murray rake according to Kevin FB comments over the years:k3 - 1.5mmk4 - 4.5mmk5 - 2.5mmp2 - 5mmk6 - 5.5-6.5(?)mm - Can't recall him saying a specific number for k6 but he said its a touch m...
@Diego Murray ahhh thank you Diego. Leaning forward is kinda freaky but I'll keep trying
Honestly I'd rip even larger like 28-30 with a nice little drop through or drop platform. Like I know it's seen as kooky nowadays but they're still fun.
For learning I'd definitely try to aim for a wheelbase is the 24-27 inch range over anything shorter, just for the stability and ease of sliding over shorter wheelbases without running a large truc...
Requirements: For learning, you will need a stiff, top mount, deck with between 20 and 27 inch wheelbase and no drop. If you jump on it, and you feel it flex, you need a new deck. Non-requ...
Why you need a helmet: The more that riders get hurt and look reckless, the more 5-0 cracks down. Other riders will shun you before then. Why you need a good helmet: So you don’t get...
praying for the return of the magnum thane formula 🙏
@Teplitzskate Honestly maybe a little bit but I don't mind it much at all. I prefer a little bit of overhang or railmatch over turtling in my setups. The setup definitely feels less tip...
Aera Trucks were not my first precisions, but they're the precisions I've spent the most time on. They're similar in feel to cast trucks as they do not ad...
Maryhill Chaos (first 55 seconds)
Magnums are know for being the grippest wheel on the market. There urethane is super high rebound making it roll very well and hold a consistent yet aggressive slide. Best used for skating fast gri...
@Diego Murray does it ever get tippy with the trucks and wheels being slightly less narrow than the deck?
@josh.hilgart on IG, SD, downhill skater, at blacks whenever I can. Love going out east for some fast backside/egrade/banner/Montezuma trips
@Teplitzskate I wanna say I got it in 2014. First deck out of college. Concave is mellow but a bit smaller radius than mini daisy cave so it feels slightly more aggressive. 9.5" width was a move in...
Form looks solid, just try to put more weight into the board, specifically front foot, by leaning off slowly in your precarve and keeping your chest over the front leg which you did, and try to put...
@Matt Needs Wheels It's pretty light it's some sort of bamboo vertlam and carbon construction so relative to board of its size, it feels pretty light. Rocket usually has some blems on their s...
How heavy is it? They look thick and I've never picked it up I think. Also $$$ tag, they ever do sales?
I gave her tips in person, but I don't know everything, anyone else want to chime in?
Solid write up. Moving this to the what you need to know section fyi.
"Say you went to Tepe without saying you went to Tepe"
Oh shit dude! That Mekanik is so old-school. How long you had that thing? What's the concave like? Super mellow radial if I remember correctly?
@Pete Hirsch too core with it 😮💨😮💨
