I tried riding drifts flipped and they felt real nice, pretty hard to not slide out of cornering or turning a big slide into a 180 accidentally tho. Would recommend for a slide jam.

@John Oliver hi John-O!  

@Gabriel Fockler lollll when I asked I was surprised to hear that I was the second. Guess I found it who was the first xd. I feel your pain brother, but it's all good. Good luck with the giveaway!

Not into freestyle or dance, but I can weigh in a bit on bushings! Double barrel is definitely going to have more rebound, and it'll want to return to center sooner than a barrel-cone setup will. T...

@Josh Gaudon I could take down a set of blank wheels in a day. Snakes last much longer than any other freeride wheel from another brand. It's the price divided by durability that you need to consid...

I went through every mod post, couldn't find it lol

@Josh Gaudon rip snakes being the budget cheat wheel

I don't feel like there's much dancers/freestylers here lol but anyways: Does bushings matter for freestyle? Would they help with the energy transfer with popping and other tricks? I know for dan...

@David Serate that's actually what I meant, haha, what the rake for each truck was. I have no idea why I used the phrasing that I did. That's super helpful, thank you!

They gave me a t-shirt so it's all good lmao thanks wrongboarding mods sorry for bitching again

Chop it on both lines for extra sharp front end c: 

I have red drifts & you definitely don't have to kick them out too much. They were one of my first few wheels I was really focused on sliding. Compared to square lips like green krimes, (or rea...

@Zach Maxon I don't think there's a standard for all casts. I know Paris v3s have 2mm (or 4.3 mm?), and the new Cal 3 raked trucks have 5 mm (maybe 3 mm?) Bear Gen 6 Grizzlies have 4 mm of rake.&nb...

@David Serate Sabre Trucks website has an amazing graphical aid that would fully support your thread. I will ink it below:   https://sabretrucks.com/technology/longboard-truck-geometry-guide/

I was just about to look into this! Thank you for posting it, it's definitely helpful. Is there any sort of guide out there that shows the standard rake for all cast trucks? I feel like that would ...

I don't think there's necessarily an intro guide that's well compiled - I think you're on the mark with Paved Wave and Blue Ridge Project being the best sources of info, but that info can be a bit ...

@Jenny Talia and Blank wheels cost less than snakes, why would you go for snakes?

I'm not good at pumping but it's just carving with some extra flare. It's more about having the skill than having the setup imo; anything will pump, the fancy setups just make it easier. As for wh...

What is rake? Rake is a term used to describe the position of the axle in relation to the bushing seat.  - Bushing seat: Where the bushings sit in the hanger when everything is tightened dow...

@Josh Gaudon OH SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THESE DUDES

Admittedly, I'm not much of a pumper myself. The board I used for the IDSA (shoutout to IDSA, dem's awesome), was a dancer lol, and unfortunately using another dancer for the May Warmup Challenge. ...

Yo, so I'm looking for like kind of the "best guide" out there or something that resembles an intro to LDP, that explains the mechanics of pumping and long distance skating. Specifically all the ge...

fiend for wed night again. Been skating for 22 years now. Left it alone for a few years. This looks like my next conduit.
