Great vid.im Just startn out . I got 76mm 87a fireball wheels. Going so fast compared to a regular sk8 wheel.
@michellandegent5957 7 ай бұрын
It’s a journey testing all the wheels, and I grew found of metal mutha (some on eBay) 70mm with 78a duro, because I could anticipate when the wheels were going to break loose, and when sliding there was a grip onto the street from the wheels that made the slide feel very controllable to me. I would say a slide with some resistance that’s Not to Icy…

You could probably brake with your back foot heel on one of the wheels...
@michellandegent5957 Жыл бұрын
I’ve never seen anyone try to slow down with applied resistance to any wheels, however with some practice you can use one foot applying pressure on the street in a straight line, and some skilled rollers are good at negotiating with speed while foot braking.

So I can give you a tip, if you let me know what type of deck you have, and wheel choice/ size and contact patch, and is the terrain all flat?

@@Daapix You can’t go wrong with Paris trucks… They perform great out of the wrapper and can be dialed in with some legit bushings from Riptide Sports! What you don’t want is trucks that bring the deck down so low, that you end up dragging your heels or toes on the road when carving/ turning, and or trucks that are too narrow giving you wheel bite when carving a turn (wheels needs clearance from deck when carving, or else they bite into deck and rider goes flying away…)

Thank you for this video. When you put the angled spacers on, how do the screws still fit into the deck? Did you have to drill a hole at an angle? I can't figure out how the truck could be at an angle and still screw in tight. I want to do this to my board. Thanks!
@michellandegent5957 Жыл бұрын
Holes don’t need to be angled in the deck. A lot of wedges are made of a flexible material and have some rubber and even the plastic wedges have plenty of give. As for the bolts, you’ll have to go to Ace hardware and figure out what you need. Make sure the length of the bolts to NOT interfere with the the movement of the hanger on the truck. I say this if you find some random hardware at your house and not the correct length. Just twist the trucks after you install wedges and see if there is any contact with the hanger from the truck to the bolts. Same goes for both hangers on the trucks. I always used two different sizes for the wedges. Turning wedges the opposite way will also make the board turn slower and can help in some instances for learning to skate for beginners…

I'm a heavy rider and I used this video a couple of years ago to put a longer kingpin in so I could use a double barrel bushing setup. I tried the black hard Doh-doh's but it just didn't work. I put the yellow hard Independent barrel bushings in and it was perfect aside from the kingpin being a tad too tall. Just a pinch talker than the hanger but at least I can ride it now. It's more of a 'lean' board than a carving board but if I can get the weight off, then I can I can worry about better turning and 50-50's.
@michellandegent5957 Жыл бұрын
Right on… Finding the right bushings is sometimes a journey but worth the effort… I spent a couple of grand collecting bushings with most of those funds going to Riptide Sports Bushings since they have an arsenal of products for most any application. Brad the owner is also a great resource for giving advice when it comes to set up and.performance. He’s been the sponsor and tuner to many of the worlds top tier Racers for all Skateboard Disciplines…

I previously recommended using gloves but since I don't want to chance anyone getting hurt from scrapes when grinding bare-handed, or using gloves, especially not cloth, and in rare cases leather gloves still can get pulled in. I've never had it happen to me with non-raw tight fitting leather gloves, but I think the best recommendation is to use locking pliers to hold whatever is being cleaned/polished to ensure your hands stay far far away from the wheel. PS: I also recommend not wearing metal rings of anykind in and around a shop. Switched to a silicone band after hearing of too many horror stories of degloving and arcing/burning someone when around electricity or welding.

Glad to hear you are still longboarding! Mountain biking is something I have also been into for years. I am just a couple of years younger than you. I only recently found your channel, and have watched and enjoyed several of your LDP videos. I was very much into skateboarding in the late 70's and most of the 80's, and just last year at age 58, decided to get back into skateboarding and to also give longboarding a try! I bought a Landyachtz Evo Spectum 36 and a Rayne Demonseed, and was using them for moderate downhill runs and LDP. I was really enjoying longboarding up until 5 weeks ago, when I was doing some LDP, and hit a stone that blended in with the asphalt. I was pushing very fast, and hit the stone while balanced on my front foot, as I was bringing my back foot back onto the board. The board stopped dead, and I was catapulted a good distance before slamming into the asphalt taking the entire impact of my 190lbs. directly on my right shoulder. My shoulder is separated and fractured in 6 places with one of those fractures being a very long fracture, and I also suffered a rotator cuff tear! I had intentionally bought 75mm orangatang durians in hopes of lessening the likelihood of this happening! Have you had any problem with this over your years of LDP, and if not, then how have you avoided it? I would appreciate any advice!

Heh Bro, Sorry about you getting smashed…. I had a similar smack down at Snow Valley last year-when I landed in the dirt powder and broke my ribs. I wish I could tell you this or that, but sometimes ya gotta pay to play. Even with the best equipment, things happen. Obviously a low deck like a double drop helps, and your wheel selection seems good. Pads help, but no guarantees. I will say that putting in the time rolling is key, at a pace of progression that isn’t to far above your skills. On a personal note, prayer is my fuel and by Gods grace I’ve been able to recover… At the time it seems like a huge drag, but there’s always a silver lining to get something else accomplished. For me with my Ribs, it was the time I needed to sell my home, and leave the State of Cali. I’m rolling again, building jumps on my property, and live minutes from some of the best trails in America! So I’ll finish by saying I’ll be praying for you, and hope for a speedy recovery. Gods blessings to ya Bro!

@michellandegent5957 2 жыл бұрын
I looked at both your choices and would choose neither for commuting regardless of the terrain, especially with your weak knee. In my opinion and with the experience of rolling for years, I’d pick a double drop deck. Nothing extreme since having too much drop will have you scraping both your toes and heals when carving. When I say double drop, I’m referring to trucks going thru deck and the deck actually transitioning lower in the middle by about an inch. 76mm wheels is probably the biggest you want to go, since they are a good all around size for control/ speed/ carving.

Hey I’m interested in trying some Paris V3 trucks in 43 degree...I never really considered that for taking the twitchy feeling out of them, as you mentioned. Do you have any experience on those for general riding and distance pushing?
@michellandegent5957 2 жыл бұрын
Haven’t tried the V3’s but trying out the V2’s at 43 degrees was less than impressive compared to a Randal 43 degree in the back. Important to remember is that you want the deck to sit level, otherwise Carving smooth and stability becomes an issue. Personally I would invest in some Riptide bushings with whatever trucks your using. I like Arsenal trucks since they aren’t too tall, but most trucks can be set up sweet, with the proper bushings. I should add that the Randal 43 worked sweet, with a Chubby bushing and WFB bushing from Riptide with A 88 Duro, for both with my weight and style I rode at a 190lbs. You just have to experiment to see what you like. It’s an investment, that has an awesome reward if you just drop a few dollars and test. Good luck.

@michellandegent5957 3 жыл бұрын
Being that it’s a top mount truck attachment it’s possible, but my guess after looking at the deck is that a slight mod will be necessary. The deck is 10 ply maple so I see no problem using a portable belt sander to hog out the area which would cause wheel bite. The 107’s will make the deck ride high and carving on the EVO is already challenged with how they angle the nose of the deck. Get some fast 76mm like Black ops from Seismic and you’ll have all the speed you need! Besides all that, if you can make the 107’s fit, good luck doing a brake check with those beasty wheels haha.
