I'm working on making a micro drop analysis video where I critique the concave, the drop, and the effective standing platform of each board and how it's suits particular styles from a design ...
I can see this board being skated in my head and it looks exactly the same as all the others out there in the scene. Styleless, and boring.
@John Oliver you goin? Abbotsford looks like it has some hills!
I got A1's but I'm not a fan. Honestly the hills near me are so damn chip sealed I don't even feel safe downhilling on big wheels and trying to grip lines so it's Green kebos and 88 Mcflys and chop...
Do they invite Freeride maneuvers/ standies like the alphas? Or are they a whole different beast in terms of breaking traction?
I've played with the chubby and fat cone vibe on aeras and other precisions with rake. I always land back on barrels. When you do I recommend 95 hardcore bs (adds more stability with the hard core ...
Has anyone tried Riptide WFB roadside in Zealous? I hear they have a snap back because the chamfered bushing seat. Well I've skated wfb in valks and I'm thinking about trying it in Cal 3 precisions...
@Matt Needs Wheels it was a dumpster fire of a track. Reminded me of sketchbacks in Portland. Basically chundar hairpins.
The WDSC(World Downhill Skateboarding Championship) Wales race just concluded and it was a rip! Please discuss below.
How you can tell someone started skating post 2018. This setup.
Way to setup a board completely nullifying all the features of the deck from working as they should.
Are those Rain Skate Tsunamis? That is all.
@Matthew Johnson awesome grip tape job. I just put 50' savants on my shred with dragons and it's the most fun thing.
@Logan Neikirk never really got the Yoface name. Free wheels had some good ones.
@Anissa Chavez buy these yellow (85a) for your front truck. https://www.fullcircledistribution.com/products/venom-hpf-caliber-plug-barrel-downhill-bushings Red (90a) for your back.
@Philipp Murx gotcha that's cool!
I found that even with risers and the adjustable plate the Valkyries are just slide trucks. They are meant to drift, so in corners they are already preloaded for sliding. I've ridden the one bushin...
What's your favorite gear name? some personal favorites of mine are Divine 'Street Slayers' Comet 'Grease Hammer' what are some of yours?
@Philipp Murx that's a good set of trucks for the first ones bought in a decade. I work at a pizza shop! Delivery is the best way to get paid to find hills. Also you snowkate that? How do you ...
This thane goes, if you like this thane try the chubbies and supremes. Those shapes are fire.
@Gabriel Fockler dude I love the purples for open road Freeride. They can hold a line and slide on a dime and are super consistent at any speed on most pave types. Defo not a performance wheel but ...
@Logan Neikirk go ahead make the slidiest race board even more slidey, the guardrails are more suggestions anyways.
@Bobomatic this one hit different because I was going through the same trauma with the chiller with rogues or k5's debacle.
