If you've never really noticed it or had a problem, or done it the past 20 years, then it should be fine? 💯 this is something that has never occurred to me in a decade of experience of my own. I...

Could you feel the wheel if there's oil on them? Just curious how often do you wash your wheels? Sometimes I just wipe the dirt of them. How do you clean your wheels? Soap and water?  If you'...

"I just watched a YouTube video from Downhill254 comparing downhill wheels and discussing how wheel companies use some sort of oil to aid in releasing them from the mold. They mentioned that these ...

@Anissa Chavez Great post! Although for dancing, this is not as strict, and we typically just use the same duro bushings boardside and roadside. Highly recommend the soft otang bushings, it's a sta...

@Justin Chang I take back this comment. I was a fool. So I've used zealouses in the past and I feel as though they don't roll as much, even if need to break them in, although I have an unopened pac...

On bikes in our local greenway when we pass we say "on your left/right" most of the time it works, but broken brain moments and all.

To change the bushings you first remove the big nut in center of the roadside part of the truck using a skate tool or ⅜ socket. This will give you access to taking off the washer, bushings and hang...

Looks awesome, nice setup!

I might try using the softer bushing combo in the back. If I standup toe to a stop, it can be hard to get the rear truck to steer out.  I like the restrictive seat for standup slides, but it ...

I like my Zealous's but I agree with @Peder HS .  I cannot get the stock bushings to work for me, but 93/95 feels pretty good.  I think Zealous may be the best skinny slalom downhill styl...

@nathskat, bakersfield, dh/fr, hmu, come skate repub with us up in bako

@nathskat/@miatanathan, bakersfield, dh/fr hmu if youre ever in the area! need more mfs to skatewith, the bako scene is nonexistient

You must be a friend of Jesus the way you're carving. Looks like a rip.

Haven't done any DH in a long time, but even when I'm doing LDP on paved trails or streets, I find myself shouting "Passing on your _____" because a lot of people (cyclists, pedestrians, other skat...

@squidshorts / Tacoma / Freeride and Downhill by I like all the rest too.  Like Evan said, check out our crew on Facebook: Tacoma Longboard Family, or on Instagram: @gritcitydisco. 

@Peder HS We need to formalize something on this skate scene wide. Same with other safety stuff. Imo.

I usually X, but always wear one wheel down way faster than the others.  At Vulcan I rotated clockwise every single run. Also rotated/swapped pucks every run. Was a necessity.

I rode these on 95/93 rear and it felt great. The 97 BS rear just didn't turn enough for me to make it around hairpins. And that was with a heavy rider on a 21.5" WB. I really don't get how the res...

The skater behind was trying to pass on the left. My buddy had a Broken Brain Moment and swerved left, since that's what the skater behind said. They crashed. Maybe one day he will join this for...

It's narrow and the pavement is bad - except in the corners! Shameless self-plug obviously. Sub to my channel, like the video and post lots of comments ✌

The Rocket Rhino has the best concave and specs out there. I bought one with a kicktail before they stopped making that version. The kicktail version adds more fun. Width: 8.85"Wheelbase: 20.5-22....

@pederhsx, Norway. DH and some tiny standup checks that don't count as freeride.  May 31st - April 4th: Skjolden extreme. €120 four day freeride event with FREE accommodations. Bed under...

The front wheels wear more since you have more weight on them, so if you put used wheels back on, the bigger ones go up front. If wheels are flatspotted beyond repair and you want to get more life ...

@Gabriel Fockler Agreed. Starters will take more of a beating the less pads they have with knees on the top of the list.
