Got me a cheap 36" quilsilver to mount with 62mm wheels and abec 5 bearings. Used to ride 30 to 60 miles a week Did 6 today and I'm out of shape. 1st upgrades will be 70+ mm wheels and faster be...
@Kurt Derow El besto bearings are the worst bearinging ever produced.
@bhr they are El Beasto Muirskate bearings. (For those who don't know the name)
@Kurt Derow appreciate it, I will look into those events.
@Adventures In Skateboarding thanks for sharing. It's a rad culture, like you I went to an event that was an outlaw big sessions with similar vibes but in San Francisco. Been hooked ever since. Ch...
Are the Zealous trucks the bronze ones? They kinda look like purple 😎👌
@Adventures In Skateboarding check out my Halal Wheels post in the wheels section for a full breakdown tho basically, seismic defcon or elixir, venom, s9 raceforms, cuei are some good choic...
Is muirskate in quotations some sort of political statement?
Comet shred 35 ace trucks 55 blood orange bangers riptide krank street cones a mix of El easto 'Muirskate' and zealous bearings.
@Brian Lugbill what don't you like about the Powell's? What would you recommend for a wheel to learn slides? I went with the Snakes strictly to learn slides at lower speeds.
@Matt Needs Wheels I didn't say I thought they were grippy. I have zero assessment to compare them to in DH. I haven't tried any other wheels yet. It is an honest first setup. I have tried a...
@Adventures In Skateboarding phat boys slide maybe ~1/2 the distance of those snakes, Snakes can cause a lack of kickout progression with how slick they are so I do think its a little off t...
@Gabriel Fockler 9/10 chance u have been baited
@Adventures In Skateboarding Almost anything is going to be better than the Powells
@Gabriel Fockler thanks for the feedback. As I get more runs in and gain some experience, we will hopefully see some wheel progression. I have a set of 78mm Phat Boyz, but haven't tried them...
This looks pretty good overall, I really don't like the 82a snakes though. The 75a are fun, but the newer blue and yellow ones had a bad slick slide to me vs. The good slick slide of snakes. ...
Thanks for checking out the video. I am new to DH and this video captures that for experience and my thoughts on it. https://youtu.be/CGjiZDDzOww?si=A9gmMPVzo9IrZOy1
Trucks: 158mm Caliber III 50 Degrees in the front for stability 44 in the back Bushings: Venom Purple 87a venom bushings in the front and green 93a venom bushing in the back...
@Brian Lugbill I wanted to try this but I couldn't get the brake soles installed securely enough. Too many concave features on my soles, I guess.
@SKATETECH Thank you! That's a good idea about the risers. I'm actually doing something similar on another setup in order to mount the rear baseplate further forward than the flush mount would othe...
Do any of you get so beholden to a particular deck that you want to keep seeing it as much as possible in your world? In the spirit of keeping a good-thing going, I snagged a 2nd exact copy of my ...
@bastiweber1987666 hell yeah! those became Avricks w -obviously - nothing more than elbow-grease & a skatetool! * oh. I see there was a grinder used ; as in , a 4" grinding...
Suggestion: Using back foot weight to initiate will always have you pendying, I see no back foot kick out, use some of your freeride wheels to lock in a better kick out.
