@Justin Chang it's the old 2010's version, with that weird directional camber on a symmetrical shape haha. The Sportster or the Nomad would definitely be the more appropriate LDP platform, but I go...

What is slop? Slop is any additional movement in the truck not from the user's input. Generally, if you can grab your trucks and feel a little play before you feel the urethane engage, your truck ...
@Zach Maxon Interesting about the Maestro setup! Used to love bustin (was my first board). Is it the current T-core design or the old 2010s design? I also relentlessly emailed them to bring back th...
Got my hands on some Divine Street Slayers recently and they're dope, also enjoying Blank Slates and some purple 4pres
@Matt Needs Wheels if you can get your hands on some of Cult's TFR thane, or some creators, they actually are that ice
Super useful writeup, most definitely. I think a note to add is that different decks require different things - ideal trucks and rail match can come down to the individual deck as well as the wheel...
Current freeride wheels on my dh board are green Krimes For my big board setup, I've been vibing with red snakes, but I've been trying to hit 180s & handsdown stuff on chill hills, so I've bee...
@Diego Murray I tried a chubby in the front a while back and it was too restrictive. I only have it in the rear now with double cannons up front
@TRENTON N TETER I love kevos and snakes for when its cold. When its summertime I love the drifts a lot!
When you have a complete board setup, you can be ignore mainanance and probably be fine untill something shows obvious signs of being a issue. However, if you want to keep your setup in the best sh...
Give me a couple of years to get back into going fast! Wish I could make it this year, but I'll be skating the Ladiga Challenge those days.
@Teplitzskate dude those GIANT skateboards were so much fun to skate, no matter how you were skating them. That Gravity is a rad board, too! I'd grab another one, but I know I'd never use it haha.
I'll be there!
Def wish I could make it out - gotta work on tight pack skating & techy freeride stuff before I go
@Justin Chang So back in 2018 I ran 150mm Paris on an Alternative Flamingo and ngl, it felt like shit ahaha. Overly tippy. Didn't like it at all.
@David Serate interesting, I didn't know about this specifically in terms of wheel overhang or deck over hang I just knew that for LDP 150° trucks or less are commonly used (and dependent on s...
@Gabriel Fockler what would you think about cults for garages. I want desperatly for a 70mm wheel that slides like a normal skate wheel. Doubt cults are that ice. I remember Iceez being what...
@Zach Maxon OH SHIT DUDE. That thing was SICK. Remember the Brad Edwards 40? Saw someone recently rocking a shape like this. My buddy Timmy B (@skate_music_timmy_b ) has a custom sh...
@TRENTON N TETER More info please! Also pics if you got any!
I want so badly to live in cottage grove, such a nice area. Thanks for posting, now looking into sponsering.💯
Good info guys, thanks. Here is a live link to get there faster. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_3Nah8kJHN_kO7FxXT1xcIZyc7lwjeZK4vTwJ0KHRnQ/edit#gid=797375362 Such a great resourc...
I can think of a lot of bad wheels, some old and some new. Nersh money hacks - got a concussion on these in 2011. Cults - ice cube wheels. Slid into a fence on my first run. Re...
Adding that someone made a calculator for rail match and width: bit.ly/railmatch In my experience, a little poke isn't bad. Maybe half an inch on each side max before it starts feeling gross. I'd...
What is rail match? Rail match is when the edges of your wheels are in line with the edge of the board where you put your feet (standing platform) Generally, if the rails of the board (edge...
Social Push groups seem absolutely rad. I'm highly considering starting one in my area, but I know that I'll be moving in the next few months so it can be hard to find the motivation to do so. Plus...
