Yo so I finally got on the train that is Skate Blood Orange Drifts and it has left the station! That being said my 78a 70mm drifts are broken in and sliding wonderfully. but what does wonderfu...

Ok so I have this DT35 that's been sitting in my closet for years and it's gotta go to someone who will give it some love. Shipping through the business is fairly cheap, so we can prob work out a ...
@Kalea Cummins Blacks Beach is a bit on the extreme side, but is quite slidey and has no cars which can make it great for learning slides. Top is here: 9601 La Jolla Farms Rd, La Jolla, CA 92037
@Matt Needs Wheels I think diff duros perform differently when pumping, grippier wheels in front so you don't scrub at all?
@Diego Murray I think they've made a new formula, zak lost tha mach 1

@Teplitzskate Definitely fun, definitely doable, but there's a reason they are the small minority of DH skate decks out there. Starters back in the day went full stinkbug to learn which is the only...
@Diego Murray I agree with this halfway, I don't think 27 inches is pushing it as much as 20 is.
Requirement: Slidey freeride wheels are essential. You'll need the ability to break traction, which is more challenging at lower speeds. I recommend between 63 and 73 mm height. Finding out which w...
A footstop is any object placed on the top, front side of a skate deck, secured with bolts through new holes in the deck and/or through the holes for securing the trucks. This object serves the dua...

These are gloves with hard material (called slide pucks) on the palm attatched with velcro that a downhill or freeride skater wears so that they can put their hand on the ground for balance during ...
@Jacob Langley Big agree from my personal experience, a X pattern is all I've ever done or seen for wheels as a standard rotation, if somthing is funky I change it up, AND EXPECT THE SLIDE TO BE MU...
Let’s talk about the importance of rotating your wheels. First let’s establish that self replenishing urethane is not a thing (yet🤞🏼🥺) and your wheels are going to wear dow...
Right after the intro, Liam has a good one.
@Garett Belanger Yeah I'm a downhill skater with a nascar background
Agreed with Jenny above, mostly. A small split won't cause you issues riding switch, but a big split (more than 5-10 degrees) does make switch a lot harder. Working on learning glovedown bot...
@Anissa Chavez I saw you were just starting out, I'd honestly just do a looser front truck bushing and not go faster than you can slide. If you are not sure if you will ever ride switch, don't ride...
New olders has the cheapest, good enough, full faces around, if you're under 45 mph I'd say get one!
I've been using a standard skating helmet type situation but am looking ahead to when I'll need a full face helmet. If anyone has any recommendations on helmets they like or tips for buying them le...
I like my skate sesh like how I like my spliff, Spicy and shared with the Homies.
