@Matt Needs Wheels Any explanation as to why? They function fine and aren't visibly worn. I know the WFB lubricated 'thane technically has a 5 year lifespan, though I haven't had issues with them s...

When are bushings and pivots done?posted in Trucks / Bushings
I've never had to replace Riptide pivots due to wear, and I've had some for 7+ years in some trucks. Riptide bushings hold up very well over time as well. Generally bushings will compress and becom...

My first YT Raw Run over 8 years ago!posted in Post your video parts / pics here.
This run was my first on YT, but the even earlier ones are lost to Vimeo now. I've skated down hills since 2012 and got my first longboard in 2008. What I remember most from that time is just how ...

Maple sled for speed standingposted in Share Your Setup / Roast Other Setups
@Jay Jauregui it's an old sticker that's just a bit too tasteless for a forum tbh. I'd rather not represent myself with swearing on a public platform, even just as a sticker.

My worst crash(es) -- share yours too!posted in General (Gravity)
I've been fortunate enough in my time skating down hills to have never broken a bone. Drink your dang milk folks. Though I've certainly had my share of gnarly spills, here's a few examples; Skatin...

Roast the Quiver. The crispier the better.posted in Share Your Setup / Roast Other Setups
That's one of the most Edge Boardshop coded quivers I've seen in recent years. I like the toast graphic Killswitch, but it's just begging for those K4s.

roast my hill runnerposted in Share Your Setup / Roast Other Setups
Dude that Pocket Ace concave is elite. Great board right there. I respect the thrifty nature of the setup, doesn't need to cost a fortune to work well.

@Logan Neikirk Glad someone else recognizes Dubs! I probably wouldn't have nearly as much passion for DH without their guidance and contributions to the local scene.

Maple sled for speed standingposted in Share Your Setup / Roast Other Setups
@F Llabata it works pretty well for me. I don't really need a super restrictive footstop for a setup like this, it feels secure for toesides without feeling like I'm strapped to the board.

Love my Don't Turnsposted in Share Your Setup / Roast Other Setups
@Spencer Patton Oh I know it's a Pantheon, my misidentification of the deck was a joke in reference to it being similarly shaped and flat. The graphic even reminds me of the Arbiter LCD a bit. No...

Love my Don't Turnsposted in Share Your Setup / Roast Other Setups
Nice Original Arbiter KT. Also pretty sure I've skated that road in the first pic. Eastern US, dead end at the top and all overgrown?

I can barely Ollie. My dude, 4/5 of your setups have a kicktail.

Return of Savantsposted in Trucks / Bushings
@F Llabata Absolutely. I'd especially like to see a 30* forged plate from the likes of Paris so there's an accessible Randal geometry plate for hangers compatible with that. Currently the lowest ac...

Return of Savantsposted in Trucks / Bushings
That hanger end looks pretty short, I'm guessing these are gonna be about 140mm? Hope they use an integrated plug barrel this time around. Or if they refined the old hanger insert that'd be cool too.

New Freeride Setupposted in Share Your Setup / Roast Other Setups
Solid components dude that looks sick. I've ridden similarly specced Ronins and they were fire. I can't roast that setup because it's already some absolute heat.

Influencer-boarding will revive dh/freerideposted in General (Gravity)
@Niall Rawn I was gonna reply with similar sentiments. What people expect from downhill has shifted from accessible freeride on low consequence hills to directional corner-based riding. Back in the...

First season on a small boardposted in Share Your Setup / Roast Other Setups
Looks sick man! Honestly if I were to commit to a small DH setup, I'd go with almost that exact one. Earthwing is mad core, the Zealous look fire, and Black Ops Alphas are great for rough pavement.

Seattle Scene circa 2013; How did sliders get so good there?posted in General (Gravity)
Being a major metropolitan area with a lot of easily accessible hills are some key factors. Progression happens faster when a strong community is present, just having gnarly hills isn't enough if n...
