@Gabriel Fockler I found it was the inserts in combination with them. The insert worked well with softer duros but just killed my turn or made it too restrictive on harder duros. I feel...

@TRENTON N TETER Krank are fun to me in Aeras, I've liked running all cannons/barrels in like 87/87 front and 90/93 rear or with the cannon/chubby combo 84/84 front, 87/87 rear. It actually leans m...
APS have more rebound than Venoms but run softer, personally I prefer HPF in the duros of the two I've tried. Seismic have also been really fun to me recently, definitely feels more lively an...
What are people running in their Valkyrie Trucks?
I wanted a thread for Valkyries because I was curious about the differences in the different Valkyrie truck models. I've owned two sets, they were both MK3 DH's, the first being 145-155 45/Ad...
@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.
I like my Zealous's but I agree with @Peder HS . I cannot get the stock bushings to work for me, but 93/95 feels pretty good. I think Zealous may be the best skinny slalom downhill styl...
@Sk8bored Awesome looking setup man! I may try a setup similar to yours, I've been enjoying the chubby in the rear but I don't know if I like how much it limits my turn in the front. Adjusta...

Currently rocking Banana Co. Peels, favorites are probably Kevin Reimers. Peels may be a close 2nd/3rd though
Just thought I'd give my thoughts on these wheels as I've put about 3 hours of skating on them in the last few days. These are excellent downhill wheels a...
@Sam Diefenbacher Honestly I've had the most success running HPF or Krank in my Aeras. I haven't been able to get hardcores to feel as stable, I used to ride with some 85a's or 87a's in the f...
@Francisco Bocanegra Sounds like a customized setup! I think I plan on trying something similar with the Krank barrels, I was thinking I may go 84a/84a front and 87a/90a rear but in all barrels.&nb...
The Rocket Rooster has been my main freeride deck for a bit over a year now. With wheelbases from 25-27 inches and a width of 9.75 and fairly straight rai...
@bhr Thank you for this, that makes sense based on how they're all feeling to me. I think I've heard K6 are 5.5 but I am not sure on that.
I just tried out my new to me set of Rogue slalom trucks for the first time today and I had a great time on them. Coming from Aeras and Zealous trucks, th...
For learning I'd definitely try to aim for a wheelbase is the 24-27 inch range over anything shorter, just for the stability and ease of sliding over shorter wheelbases without running a large truc...
@Teplitzskate Honestly maybe a little bit but I don't mind it much at all. I prefer a little bit of overhang or railmatch over turtling in my setups. The setup definitely feels less tip...
Aera Trucks were not my first precisions, but they're the precisions I've spent the most time on. They're similar in feel to cast trucks as they do not ad...
Form looks solid, just try to put more weight into the board, specifically front foot, by leaning off slowly in your precarve and keeping your chest over the front leg which you did, and try to put...
@Matt Needs Wheels It's pretty light it's some sort of bamboo vertlam and carbon construction so relative to board of its size, it feels pretty light. Rocket usually has some blems on their s...
I have been riding my peels for a few weeks now and they've become some of my favorite freeride wheels. Retail is at $50 so they're not the cheapest wheel but also not the priciest. The...
