I feel like this would be a good modern version of a freeride build: A single kick deck between 9.4-9.7 inches depending on shoe size, 23-27wb depending on height.  Paris 43* 150s or 165s de...

That's very funny. The asym nose is very hot right now, but I love a classic California big pintail type nose 

Sims mids suck butt

@Teplitzskate pretty old but fireball infernos/ cloudride slides, they had this super weird shape that got wider as it got smaller and the urethane was to grippy as is and just got even more funky&...

@Gabriel Fockler does anyone know about the boiling wheels meme 😈😈. U ain't a true skater if you don't boil your wheels   Context for the groms/uninitiated 

So honestly, I really like a lot of the new content out there nowadays, it's really high quality but it really doesn't stack up against some of the old school videos filmed on shittier cameras. My...

@bhr Without putting out my personal liking or disliking of any wheel, I do think it is wild to read what I just read about Iceez, for years Iceeez level of slide was considered to be around a lowe...

I started skating end of 2018 when snakes were $44. Snakes and Krimes have held it down for me, but there are few wheels I've tried and instantly hated.Cloudride Iceeez: I won them in a giveaway, a...

Who doesn't love an asymm nose job on your new $300 skateboard from Switzerland? New Bumpy promodel called the 'Excalibur' appears to come with guide lines so you can chop the nose. Can you imagine...

What wheel do you absolutely hate. What characteristics do you hate about it?   I got a set of mis-poured Powell wheels at an event and they're absolutely my least favorite wheel. I hat...

I'm going to have to agree with @Gabriel Fockler here. I initially grabbed 130mm Aeons in a 45/30 split to try on a pumping setup with some wedging, not my cup of tea. Then threw them onto a garage...

I remember that people were talking about this a few wheels ago. Seems unnecessary to me but allegedly it makes the first few slides feel better? It was some pro guy that was washing magnums in a b...

I've only tried these a few times but I didn't really dig them. Wobbly but also don't really turn. Feels like reinventing the wheel to me. 

Just let the pavement take care of it

I just bite them and put them where I think they should go judging by how much they hurt my teeth

Been skating 130mm 45/30, comfortable skating freeride in the city and up around 50kph on a Fullbag Lightning Strike with the stock bushings at 160lbs. Probably fine going faster once I get more ti...

I have never done this either. Mold release can be oily, but I've never actually found mold release or any other oily residue on my new wheels. I feel like if people start finding this on their whe...

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.
