I'm really loving my custom rhino racetail. I wish that i had copied your more mellow concave idea. Mine is the stock concave for the racetail, but with an extended 2" on the wheelbase. Im a tall g...

I will alternate between an X for one rotation, then flip left to right in the next rotation.    Depending on the turns on the road, you might wear down one side more than the other. I'...

@Justin Chang haha, I'm just being a bit hyperbolic. I do think that not adjusting the 50 plate to take tall bushings was a big mistake, especially because they also didnt bother to fix that on the...

Cool thanks for sharing. I'll definitly refer to this if and when I need ldp tips.

@Justin Chang @Matt Needs Wheels  here's a place I'd trust to get kingpins: https://www.sk8kings.com/aircraft-steel-bolt-an6-kingpin-lock-nut-three-sizes-1-boltnut.html I mostly hear of snap...

@luluublu_enthusiast / NorthWest Indiana/Chicago / downhill and freeride

@Gabriel Fockler wait lmao what other reasons are on the list I'm curious. Ever since I saw your review on the zealouses and the other precisions I was like dang this guy knows what up and knows th...

@Matt Needs Wheels This is more something that happens with freestyle, but as freestyle is somewhat synonymous/paired with dancing, so I'm not sure if it's as common for freeride/downhill. But afte...

@Justin Chang What do they replace the kingpin with? Something upgraded? Also for clarification this is something that happens with dancing? I've never heard this about them before but I'm not in t...

Yes his name is Hans Frank. 

I have a set of aera k5s, previously owned k3 and k4. These are definitely different than those. Aeras are very premium "normal trucks" if that makes sense. Very nice for freeride/all around riding...

Saw these only because of the Earthwing post about them in the last week or so. They definitely look rad! I love the axle on the rear truck bring in-line with the kingpin - it reminds me of the rea...

@Gabriel Fockler thank you! And the small wheelbase (and everything else) is like the "downhill slalom style" setup/meta as Max Dubler describes in this blog post. It's the new normal!? (Maybe lol)...

Thanks for the good review! Been curious about them for a while, and how good they'd be. For it's price point, do you know how do they compare to other precisions like aeras slalocybins or rogues? ...

@Matt Needs Wheels you know, I didn't think about that haha. It was hard to come up with a dance shitpost so I just used everyone clowning on the amazing crown board rider

@xmasterZx this is a good analysis, and by someone who def knows what they're talking about (unlike me 😭😂) I don't think it's covered under warranty, my friend in person, and some of the ppl who m...

@Gabriel Fockler  I've almost never had these problems since I weigh so little, but the only cracked cores I've ever gotten where on the fatty hawgs, and the blood oranges, except the blood or...

Replace lgbd_sebs with any longboarderer 😅

The chop looks good, why so small on wheelbase though? 

I've been on the zealous slaloms for about a month now, and i am very impressed with these. They're marketed as a racing truck, but i think that they are amazing for freeride/standup slides.  ...

@Kurt Derow normally close to 40/60 for me, but can I veer closer to 10/90 when I have limited time.  I'll be thinking "Aye bud, I'd love to catch up but I ain't skated in 2 weeks and gotta b...

Whoa. Never heard of this trend til now. Is that covered under warranty or anything? the snaps within the kingpin look all very similar, with half of the axle exhibiting slightly elevated edges ...

  Specs (before/after) Length: 37.5" → 33" Width: 9.75" → 8.5" Wheelbase: 24-28"→ 19-19.5" Rocker: 2/3" (.666") → 7/16" Concave: 2/3" (.666") → 7/16"  ...

"Shameless plugs" so here's 5 from the same trip. 2015 footy tho, so should really make something new for 2024 (1) Skate trip compilation edit:   (2) Edit of spot 1:   (...

Is this a common issue for freestyle/dance? The only core explosion I've ever experienced was on dragonskins, but i don't do dancing.
