@Justin Chang oh yeah, up until the last couple of years! I've got a bum leg and I've broken my ankles too many times to really continue it. In fact, the last time I skated park was like January 20...

Oh most definitely. I think that the brand is staying true to its roots - David Townsend is doing a fantastic job with that. I love that the overall focus with Earthwing is simple but functional.

  this is my all time favorite video 

@Teplitzskate ahh i love crunchie videos so much 

@Zach Maxon thanks for showing me Yoni! Love watching the clips. Starting to get into park skating with a 43 inch lmfao. Kyle Tremblay is a big inspiration for me right now. Cool though I didn't kn...

@neilchaudhury insta / austin, tx. Dh, freeriding, garages, ldp, cruising just general chilling 

my insta is @zach.roy.23 and I'm a downhill skater in Morrison Colorado which is pretty close to boulder 

https://www.longboarderlabs.com/anatomy-of-longboard-wheels/X Check out this website, has great graphics to explain the different types of wheel design  

A few more definitions/thoughts: Core placement: Center set - the core is in the center of the wheel. Usually seen on freeride wheels. Flipping does not change width.  Offset - there is mor...

Check out @woodbooger_freeride on Instagram. It's a 2 mile technical downhill run in Norton, VA. Camping is included. Discounts are available for volunteering! ($70 off for 1 shift, $140 ...

That's a good point. On the other hand, a deal is a deal right? I'm not turning down any discount codes 🤣

The old earthwing stuff was very classic. I remember riding the massive crew crewzer double kick back in like 2012, loved that thing.    I love what David Townsend has done with it late...

I posted this on a separate thread, but this is easily one of my favorite skate videos. It convinced me to buy a Hightailer, even. I couldn't skate it as well as Yoni Ettinger, but it was still rad.

Definitely very helpful. An interesting note on durometer - a lot of wheels may be marked as a specific durometer, but will be several degrees harder or softer. Adam Ornelles, who helped design the...

@pinche_primo - SD - Just learning how to skate, want to get into downhill tho 👀 I be at TacoTuesdays and DockSessions

@skatography_/ South Wales/ freeride and a bit of dh

Wheel terms   Durometer is the hardness of a wheel. The size of the wheel is how tall it is. Contact patch is the width of the wheel touching the ground.  Cores are the center of a w...

looks fire. got my blaze on paris 150s. maybe someday ill get zealous

@Teplitzskate and I were talking about Brad Edwards and Yoni Ettinger on another thread, I think. Yoni is definitely more geared towards street skating on a longboard, but his videos are what got m...

@Gabriel Fockler try out some 95a/95a in Venoms (or 93a RS if you're saucy), I think that feels pretty great in Zealous for being able to get the rear truck to lean over a bit more.

Discount codes are sick. I want to buy stuff for cheaper.  Sometimes they are not put out for sick reasons and they act a lot like affiliate links, where a manufacturer, retailer etc, will pa...

Freeride machine

Posted it already but I still believe any video with Brad Edwards: Mans was a master of longboard freestyle, transition/park, and amazing at freeride. He ollies over shopping carts, manuals down...

This edit deserves more attention:  

Most underrated raw run imo is Pat Dorts from NCMB
