Hello friend. Great explanation!!!! I walked a long time ago (when I was 11 to 18 years old) and stopped ...now with 38 I'll go back to skateboarding again. I was researching the shape, trucks ...and I found this video of yours explaining.(I'll buy another shape from Baker, 8.0, and you perfectly the shape) congratulations! Skateboard forever!! Success always (from brazil)👍🏻

How bout chocolate and girl? They both is a mellow concave too
@aboutameen4 ай бұрын
I haven't skated Chocolate or Girl enough to make a good assessment, What i do know is that, both chocolate and girl decks are lightweight and yes they are mellow too , similar to baker, but their shape is different, o.g shape is unique to baker becks, another thing that is different is where their made; all baker decks ive come across are made in Mexico, whereas Girl and Chocolate has decks that are made in china, thats not to say china decks aren't as good as mexico decks, in fact theyre pretty darn good too, its just one of the difference between baker, girl & chocolate

I use to be a Indy whore but I switched to ace about 6 years ago because I needed something more responsive! But now that I’m pushing 30 I’ve been thinking I need some stability back in my setup so I’ve been considering going back to Indy! It’ll happen I’m just not sure when
@aboutameen9 ай бұрын
I hear you, I feel the same, it's not all about responsiveness, stability is much appreciated when we get older and sessions get chiller. For now though, i sized down my deck and turned to Thunders, the lightweight makes it easier to do flip tricks.

To get a pic into Thrasher magazine you HAD to have "Independent Trucks" was a unspoken background politics RULE .. ironic for a truck company called "Independant" but perhaps they were just being true to their Iron Cross logo. Try mini-logo they're budget priced but have AMAZEballZ performance. Use soft risers make up the height difference and the higher strength to weight, w/o holes to clean all over, and little secret stow pocket make them real noice ; j Great content by the way.

you cant say indys last long because of the beefiness. The metal is also softer for a smooth grind so it wears out faster.

Really appreciate this in depth review of arguably my favorite deck company. It’s definitely not the strongest deck, but I love the dimensions they make for most of their size 8 decks. The mellow concave and lower kicks feel great and you can certainly control your energy during a session better than a DLXSF deck. I certainly have more fun skating baker decks.

Love ACE, but about to rock Thunders. I prefer twin tails and there aren't many to choose from. Sadly, the shortened wheel base of ACE doesn't always jive well with boards that have longer tails which robs me of height for technical flat ground / ledge tricks. When i skate shorter tailed boards, however, i always go ACE. Love the way they feel and look.
@frankrotthier4392 Жыл бұрын
Interesting! I only skate Twin Tails myself and was mainly using ACE AF1’s (regular and Hollows) Decided to try some Thunder Hollow Lights and I’m loving those with my Deluxe (Real/Krooked) 8.3” TT Slick even though both that deck and the Thunders have a wide wheelbase. My pop is way higher (could also be because the Thunders are a lot lighter ofcourse) Which Twin Tails work well with either ACE’s or Thunders for you?
@Skankhunt-hl9zj Жыл бұрын
Is it worth switching to a twin tail? I’ve been just buying boards from element and I love them but I hate popping off their nose it’s just too big it’s a full 7. The tail is perfect size for me it’s 6.4 it gives me crazy pop

So skrg terfikir jugak nak tukar truck kpd ace af1 33 ni.. Berat n ketinggian durability dia berbanding dgn thunder camna? Boleh bagi pencerahan skit bro? Tq
