I've had my fair share of locals trying to blow the spots on my behalf, which honestly feels worse than blowing a spot out of my own stupidity. 3 particular events stand out to me: 1. Local retire...

An often overlooked but all too well known aspect of skating, blowing it is a bit of a dark art.   Skating without a helmet, chopping into the oncoming lane on a blind corner, posting rowdy ...

Most multi time world champions are over 6 feet tall and rather skinny guys.  Thiago Gomes, Kevin Reimer, Micha Irvine to name just 3 examples. I think tall guys who have longer arms have an ...

All i know is when i'm over 85kg standies practically initiate themselves. Going tuck to drift only really becomes a problem when your legs are to weak to balance while squatting. Generally being...

We skate Garages in Boise every Thursday at 8pm! The location is the garage on the corner of Morrison Knudsen Plaza Dr off Parkcenter. Hope to see y'all there!

In my experience the back toesides wheel wears the most. X is a solid starting point but it don't work for everyone,  my alternative? Look at you wheel to see which side the urethane has been...

Found a Greaseshark in pretty good condition for $25 in a bargain basement. Hung it on a wall but decided "fuck that I should destroy this thing". So I chopped it into a modern sized board but the ...

I guess really it depends on your definition of freeride. To me, it's whatever gets me down the hill without focusing on getting there the fastest possible... an extraneous slide here and there, hi...

@Kai Chaffin LIVELY. It's an adjustment for sure but the leverage and control is unreal. I would have never imagined skating that short of a WB before slalom trucks, it's absolutely wild how much s...

@Gabriel Fockler Don't ride switch, none of the above. These, to me, are freeride wheels on my weighted tiny deck (take that Kurt 🤣)

Safety third

@Ted Aslund just saw this on the forum! We have crews in the harrisburg area and the reading/philly area. Plenty of spots round all of us if your looking to come down for a sesh sometime. And hit u...

If flexibility is a part of body type, then that definitely massively affects things. I think that especially around the back ankle, choosing to lay the ankle flat against the board on heelsides, a...

@Teplitzskate this raises a really good point. Now don't get me wrong I love outlaw events, but it does feel kind of rude when you have to ask locals/people minding their own businesses that they c...

So you want to do something good for the scene, but need some help... Well, we've sponsored quite a few events so far and plan on sponsoring more in the future. We firmly believe that the key to ...

@Patrick Eddings Yew!

@Gabriel Fockler they are LDP wheels. I have seen dudes Freeride them on weighted tiny boards in Aus.

Interesting thread. I'm 6'4. Need puck risers and have a better time on a drop deck than a top mount. Also sliding with a torque bloque kinda hurts my leg because of the angle. Yoga has helped with...

This is my first time posting an event to this site, so hopefully I'm doing it right. But Kingswood is going down again, here's all the info!  Date: Sunday, July 14th Parking Address:  ...

i believe body type really does affect riding styles and preferences  i can imagine how going from tuck to preparing for a standup slide be a little more unstable for someone more taller than...

@Adam Hedrick ahh this clip makes me want to skate tepe. might have to go next year

How's the 16wb feel?

So, I know bigger weight people gotta ride a gripper setup to attempt the same line as lighter people, but what else effects a setup, as well as riding style beyond preferance?
