@Jon LaPlant totally second the spherical bearing recommendation. I've only skated DH-Cybins and once I got the spherical, it really opened things up.
I think having an engagement loop (community meme of the week/2 weeks/month) from a thread HERE on wrongboarding could maybe drive people to the forums.

@Thomas Shoegoo on the glovetips & the part of your gloves where you grip the board is actually SUPER good. Extends the life just a touch!

Common questions: Q: My feet are really big, what deck should I get? A: Honestly, most decks will fit the average foot. If there's some overhang on the heel or toe, you can angle the ...
I think an underrated tip is to just take your board with you everywhere. Aside from just getting more time on your board, it'll get you used to a few things: 1. Using your board in a bunch of dif...
There's a few things you're going to want to have for DH skating. I've listed these in rough order of importance (in my opinion). I've also added a few life-extending, budget, and repair tips so yo...
@nova did you do any nose chops on it? That customization aspect is very appealing to me. Also, do you run it with a brick or not?
I just ordered a New Olders blackbird v2 in matte black with a gold visor / logo. What are your thoughts on helmet art and paintjobs? Of course, the really clean automotive-style paintjobs are...
@Matt Needs Wheels If you want to get extra spicy, get a sharp razor and cut the plug off the barrel and have a makeshift insert bushing. Alternatively, get the Pats Risers insert bushings for what...

@Matt Needs Wheels I think that a lot of people outside of the sport when given the term "downhill" confuse what we do with hill bombing on a skateboard. I think that the term "freeride" honestly d...
I wish I knew stability wasn't derived from shoving the HARDEST bushings available into my super dead cal 2s. I immediately got on softer bushings once I learned and wow, did it make a huge differe...
As the title states, has anyone gotten some experience standing and riding the new Rocket Excalibur? In the market for a new deck in the next few months so it can sit indoors during the wint...
@Matt Needs Wheels I've had some success using E6000 instead of superglue to repair some chunking.
I highsided at a warmup slide hill at my first gel lab and ate shit off a pushup slide. I feel like pushup slides are either super steezy or a sign someone is a massive kook.
@Alex Campos Are you using sander belts for grip? I tried it once and it didnt work at all
I have a blunt 33 from EW in the mail, slated to arrive around next Mon. Will let yall know how that one feels. I'm planing to set it up with TKPs
@Bobomatic I'm a huge fan of the "feel" of a hanger spherical as it feels like there's less resistance to turning the front end and I can dive turn a lot faster/tighter. I have a friend who'...
I've heard the zealous are very good, and i've seen em for like 260 recently - I'm a bit worried as reviewers (owen campbell) said they felt a bit more restrictive than the DH cybins (his favorite ...
@Matt Needs Wheels My snakes / krimes are used and absolutely BLASTED. I'll probably check that spot out once I feel a need to, so it'll be a fair amount of time
As the title says, what precisions should I try after my DH cybins? Right now I'm loving the feel of the spherical in the hanger up front and I run a 50/20 split. I eventually want to go nar...
