My freeride setup for 2025


  • Recently put this together, got a few sessions before the snowy weather. Deck tapers to about 8.9" at the first rear bolts. Need more time with the wheels, but they're great so far. Setup listed below:

    -Arbor Tyler Howell deck w/36-grit Lokton and a Riptide Mini I/O

    -Cast Arsenal 165mm 50/40* w/ 85a HPF BS and 83a WFB RS front (flats), 87/85 HPF rear

    -Arbor Tyler Howell Vice w/ Zealous



  • This looks nice, but i wouldn't use a footstop on a singlekick. It sort of ruins the surf's up vibe. 


  • @Gabriel Fockler Fair point. I considered running this without a footstop, but I myself lack the gumption to throw confident standup toesides on a setup like this without one. Thankfully the mini I/O feels pretty natural on this board, it's not really obstructing me from using any features and integrates well with the drop.


  • Great freeride board not the trucks tho. Should've gone with some cal 3 or gen 6. 


  • @Sk8bored idk man, Arsenals haven't disapponted me yet as a freeride truck. I spent a lot of time on the precision ones, and got these recently to replace my 165mm Paris V3s I didn't fully enjoy. If I were to go with any other truck it'd probably be 160mm Kodiaks.


  • Junk. 
    just Junk. 
    Do better 


  • @Brian Lugbill are you retarded?
