Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (uhmw) is what most of the slide pucks we are using is cut from .
I attempted making homemade pucks when I first started this hobby seriously (2023). I used a half inch thick normal cutting board, and it worked but I quickly realized that these pucks wear down to...

I run a low hanging 420 grams hammer head straigt behind my front truck. I don't feel like it makes my slides signifcantly longer or easyer to pull, but it makes the board way more predictable, aka...

@Teplitzskate 3lb rocket weight, having skated the same board with and without a weight it allows you to slide further and break traction a little easier
We need a social push in or around Boston this summer. I'm north shore. Charles River? Northern Strand? Downtown?
@Gabriel Fockler I mean , 148-158mm is pretty ideal for the 9"ish freeride deck but yeah ,if you're use to 180mm hangers it might seem strange . ordered my k6 set at the 154mm axle width opt...
Hot take: running a weight on a small board is cheating. Change my mind. Convince me to run one. How much weight you running?
@Matt Needs Wheels I did look beforehand, couldn't find any on their website
Pats risers makes some I bet, nice tho
Getting back into the longboarding scene after doing other stuff for 12 years, I noticed the issue of "slop" in trucks was well documented. I went to check my Atlas trucks which I had purchased bac...

@Václav M it shows taste is subjective ☺️. My experience is, that I prefer other decks for different styles. For freeride prefer my Landyachtz Obsidian with AERA RF-1, because it is much...
@BBL Can't be bothered to chop them off, tbh. Plus, they serve as great crash bars for when curbing.
@Tino Elter Sabres aren't bad. They are Terrible. Atrocious.
