@Sk8bored
get rid of the trucks and wheels & then the deck is somewhat salvageable
Aera & Powell= 🗑️
Don't listen to this guy ^, his setup post was wack.
I think that your footstop should be a little more forward. With that small wheelbase and style of setup, you want to be more fully on your front bolts.
I also think that the weight is unnecessary, but some people like them.
For your safety, get rid of the Aeras and Powells and get some good DH gear. It's really that bad
Certified Powell hater in the chat
The peices are right but the combo is wrong, I agree with gabe that the footstop has to go forward .75 to 1.5 inches.
@Gabriel Fockler i tried the footstop on the top bolts but my foot ended up in front of the wheel flare. I drilled the board so where the footstop is I can push on the flare when doing slides.
Also I added the weighted to try out because the board is a bit tippy with kevos which are the wheels that I skate most often.
@Brian Lugbill aren't you the guy with the super wide and sym trucks on a small board? You can't hate if you skate that lmao
@Sk8bored that was my issue with this deck, the flairs prevented me from standing where I wanted to. I feel like small decks should not have flairs or anything like that.
I would go on and call flairs the worst feature on modern boards. They are trying to recreate drops on boards where you need to stand bolts. It's a categorical mismatch for small boards.
Big thing is get rid of the Powells
@Brian Lugbill shut up
@Gabriel Fockler
powells are very Haram
halal wheels: Seismic (only DEFCON and Elixir), Venom, S9 Race Formula
@Brian Lugbill ehhh I like pork belly and Powell peralta too much
@Gabriel Fockler true. I agree 100% with what you say.
I rode a owen fox a while back and disliked how flat it was. I understand why everyone puts a torque block, huge footstop, screws, etc. I didn't have concave to lock me in, I felt as if my feet were lost so I continuously looked down and didn't feel comfortable on it.
So I got this acedia and I'm making the most of it. I feel comfortable with the "crazy concave" and always know where my feet are. The only downside is not being able to fully stand on the front truck (until I extend the wheel wells lol).
Adjustable P2's are sweet!!!
I'm in the boat that p2s aren't great, but they surely aren't as bad as some people are making them out to be. This set up is nice! Kevos are a good move always imo, however don't let them be a dictator for how you should skate. There's Ssoooo many options for wheels out there now-adays. Newer people tend to hear about a company and their reliable gear and NEVER MOVE ON. Some of the best "newer" skaters I know make it a mission to constantly try new gear until they have a daily rider set up and a experimental.
All I'm saying is don't go with the heard on YOUR board, and don't let your set up be tainted by that same heard.
@Tim Cernanec word. I just happened to skate these kebos that day but was riding alphas before. I do like kevos for freeride since I just swap color depending on the pave and speed. I have ridden different wheels like bustin will royce, butterballs, urchins, free wheel co gold standard wheels (my favorite thane), hawgs supremes, I'm not going to name them all lol
I hope you understand that the title was click bait haha
@Sk8bored lol ya I don't spend enough time on here to know who's new or not lol. I was like, "Hell ya, this guy talked to people and got good info about gear!" Lol
Absolutely Haram
@Tim Cernanec it's cool. Are you going to Pirates DH in PR again this year?
