I always feel like you need to be able to bomb a hill on Paris trucks before you can properly appreciate any split angles, bushing upgrades, and precision.

Unless someone is under ~140lbs or over ~170lbs, the stock bushings in most RKPs should be fine tbh
I feel like getting rid of the don't trips should be higher priority than doing all of this. All of this work to still ride don't turns :"(
@Matt Needs Wheels definitely worth swapping the pivots right out of the box. It's like $15 and generally makes them feel smoother.
@Gabriel Fockler You think the pivots are worth is for a average starter? Or just someone who wants to max out the stats?
@David Serate I feel that bushings not matched to rider weight is top 2 things that messes up the feel for starters on a new setup. To clarify what you said; is there a weight range that you think...
Calibers would be fine but I would suggest paris trucks instead. 50/43 plates, 150 or 165mm depending on deck size. 85a front, 90 or 93a rear, pat's risers inserts, flat washers, replace stock piv...

What do y'all recomend people starting out in terms of trucks? Widths and degrees? Brands? Split or symetrical truck degree angles? Bushings split? How soft should bushings feel? Anything th...
For me, I love consistency. Some wheels are extremely temperature dependent which can make kick outs and hookups spooky. I prefer a more in the pavement feel rather than on top just for general fee...

I've stubbornly learned to ride switch on my 53°/22° setup (Inb4-not super fast). Obviously, the steering is weird, so I have to be very mindful of my front/back weighting (ie, stay ~90% o...

@Teplitzskate the event is a non sanctioned but protected event. Meaning cars spot the upper and lower and communicate effectively but the road is technically open. It is a small forest service roa...
Title about says it. 45/20, all stock bushings/inserts included. Couple of tiny stone chips. Will ship priority. Any other questions just ask!

81a drifts are the most consistent and intuitive round lips I've ever used.
Not necessarily the underrated part but Defo most underrated skater.
@Justin Chang They feel kinda the same, exept I'd say ez hawgs are even more slidey iirc. Starter level slow- very high ranking from what I hear. I wouldn't take them at any high rate of speed, ve...
