Nice setups! I also rock a Happy Robot belt sander.
@Logan Neikirk I use sanding belts, too. Works great for me. Another thing that I like about sanding belts: if you look up an abrasives company online, you can find a ton of different option...
@Jefe W I'll skate it for a while and see how it holds up. DM me later if you want to know.
@Gabriel Fockler more jank than duct tape? That's the only alternative I've ever seen, and there's no Randal-to-Paris riptide cup. This way is permanent and I can control the exact position of the ...
Any general tips for transitioning to free riding on little boards, either in setup or technique?
I just ordered these. They're 20% off on the Paris site right now. Also, the coupon code WELCOME15 gets you another 15% off. My set came out to $122.40 with it.
@F Llabata I have the Dane Hannah pros; the main difference is that they have spherical pivots VS the Robot Oblivions urethane pivot cups. This makes them ride rougher, but It's a pretty minimal di...

With the new Savants out thought It'd be appropriate to share this little project I did last week. I molded epoxy putty around a Paris pivot cup in my Randal 35* plate. Now I have a perfectly align...
Here's one I did yesterday.
@F Llabata Can confirm that these spherical burrs work great. OP, You want the one with a 5/8 inch ball diameter. The part number is sd-6. They're about $15 on Amazon. I've learned...
@Brian Lugbill I wanted to try this but I couldn't get the brake soles installed securely enough. Too many concave features on my soles, I guess.
@SKATETECH Thank you! That's a good idea about the risers. I'm actually doing something similar on another setup in order to mount the rear baseplate further forward than the flush mount would othe...
Deck:Happy board Co Vokuhila.Custom width of 8.75" at rear bolts. About half an inch wider than stock. The Vokuhila has an upturned nose and tail (2 degrees for the nose, half a degree for the tail...
