Does Your Board Setup ACTUALLY Matter in SESSION??

[@th3rd3arplan3tradio]

I play this game waaaay more than Skater XL. It's so fun & eases the mind with their music or yours in the background. Just seen on their account they're adding spitfire wheels. All I rode when I skated was 8.25 decks, independent trucks, bones or spitfire wheels, black magic or mob grip tape, shorty's hardware & red bones bearings. I skated with grind kings, ventures, tensor but indies are my top fav.

I skate 60mm Rictas irl and the difference is incredibly noticeable! 78a durometer makes them soft beyond belief, hence their name: “Ricta Clouds”. Anyone who hasn’t tried them, I’d recommend it

[@lilsleak]

I ride ricta clouds to and thunder trucks and a deathwish board I forgot what bearings tho

[@PHeMoX]

I only recommend the Ricta Clouds 92A though if you still want to do plenty of tricks on your skateboard. For just cruising around rough city surfaces, then yes 78A is a knee saver. For tricks though, it's too sticky.

at 04:56 , the darkslide you were trying to reproduce for longer distance; on first darkslide, I notice your weight is more on the tail and center of deck whilst it's inverted than the subsequent/following /shorter distance darkslides. if you go back & listen even the sound between the two darkslides are quite different. The longer had less griptape grind noise than the one's you pulled after it & that were shorter. Also, fwiw, after rewind-playing over n over , 👀your character's hand movements even slightly reflect the difference between the way you had feet( weight being applied )on the longer DS than the shorter ones ....I dunno how, but you had yourself touching less grip tape that first long darkslide. I thought I would mention

Haven’t known that much about session, but it amazes me how realistic it is. I have 2 board set ups and one of them has the ricta cloud wheels. I thought they were the lesser-known wheel, so I just thought about how realistic this game was. Might buy it too

[@devinrodriguez1722]

It’s so fun n realistic compared to other skating games it’s totally worth it I’ve put so many hours into it and I’m still constantly learning new things and making new lines the new update is super nice the new board mechanics are great and the fact they collaborated with TMNT and made the whole dlc free is so🔥 u could really tell they care about their game and their players

[@MaxnochWeniger]

What I wanted to know is if the anti wheelbite setting has an effect on the pinch of the truck while grinding.

[@80VAIN08]

I have to admit, I was a bit sad when I realized that as long as you're using the huge riser pad and high trucks, the setup doesn't make a real difference. It would be cool if before heading to a vert park, you could go to your apartment and pick a wider deck and stuff, but nah, dude can nollie laserflip on flat using a 10" board no problem. And setting your settings to mimic a wider board for vert skating sucks. My workaround for now is having 2 setting profiles saved, one for "normal" setups and one for wide ones, with the wide ones flipping slower, not popping as high, etc. etc. All other settings stay the same, so I can very quickly change the advanced settings from one profile to another when using a gigantic deck

[@lautarovisconti]

This is gold! You answered all the questions i had. Thanks

[@Karwan89PL]

For grip you could also try if there is a difference once grip is new and wasted (execpt ofc of visual aspect).

[@JLNightmare]

There wasn’t any difference between old and new grip unfortunately (expect visually :p ) so it’s just cosmetic

[@sur3shot]

Thanks for your tutorials. I’m really hoping for a multiplayer mod for this game soon

[@EaSkateVideo]

Really like this video and the research you did! What I am stil wondering though, do trucks change anything when doing primos? I mean, I once had an 8,5 inch board and trucks that did not match the width and it was impossible to stand on the side 😅

[@JLNightmare]

Yes, it does also affect Primo a bit, but it just tilts till the board and wheels are both touching the ground. Doesn’t really change how far you go tho. Decided to leave out the experimental features like Casper and Primo cause they don’t work properly

[@EaSkateVideo]

Thanks for clarifying! It also does not change the way your skater stands on it visually? I mean, having trucks 2 inches wider will make your primo, well... a bit... slanted I suppose :p

[@JLNightmare]

Yeah it changes the way your skater is on it, well the ankles are more tilted. But no matter what you’ll be standing on it. I just tested the smallest board with the biggest trucks and the only difference was board tilt and ankle bend, everything ankle Up was the same :p

[@EaSkateVideo]

I must admit that you make me a bit curious on how that will look, guess I'll also have to buy those set-up for myself! 😄 Anyways, thanks again for creating these videos, I enjoy them and they have been of great help for my gameplay and my montages! 😄

@7:22 love the Hank hill sound!

[@nyeeeeeee9346]

i feel like the stats sliders should be tied to parts, so like ricta clouds increase wheel grip, decrease pop height because theyre bigger and increase speed, and then bigger boards decrease flip speed but increase drop height etc but still have it so you can change the sliders, maybe the parts increase or decrease whatever your sliders are set at

[@namcox40]

if you do a quick/low pop kickflip you can notice a difference with the wider and narrower boards. I'm able to do a low kickflip with a narrow board since you don't need much pop/height and then vice versa

[@joshpar9402]

@JLNightmare whatever default is for big drop, but I know I do often reset immediately when I'm hunting for a trick. It's not a game ruining annoyance for me yet, just something I've noticed. If it becomes a big issue for me, should I disable try didabling big drops and practicing some patience? While I've got your attention, on PC and Steamdeck, I've noticed wheels get trails, kinda like the effect you get with a lower shutter speed on a camera with a moving light source, especially at night and morning, is there a graphic setting to cut this or should I swap to darker wheels to mitigate it for now?

[@JLNightmare]

You can manually bring the board back to your normal stance by rotating the sticks after the powerslide. From sticks inwards or outwards position, rotate back foot Down and front foot Up. Alternatively, since this is actually an issue with the Front/Back foot gameplay inputs specifically, you can change your gameplay inputs to Left / Right Foot so you dont have to manually control the powerslide as much.

@JLNightmare plz, one quick question about 16:36 Last day, I was trying some slides with 4 notches up in grind alignement (standard hardcore preset). Yet, I had sometimes getting those slides really on the tip of the tail without bailing as I would thoughts because of that grind alignement. Is it because, 4GA is still pretty permissiv or is about the 'no matter the shape of the board' effect (like with a bigger board it would have looked like more legit slide)???? If you happen to know.

[@JLNightmare]

Has to do with the grind alignment being up 4 notches. Each board shape has a different hitbox

How do you do double flips

[@JLNightmare]

If you’re on Auto catch, you need to have Continuous Flip turned On, then you hold the flick input to keep the board spinning. You let go to stop the flip. If you’re on Manual catch you just need to flick fast and let go of the flick input so it can keep spinning. You’ll flick back foot up to catch and stop the flip. If you’re having trouble getting it on flat ground, you can either boost your Max Pop Height, or boost Flip Speed in the advanced settings.

Board size does matter just depends on your settings (flip speed,scoope speed) 👍

Is board size not changing flip speed due to both flip and spin speed set to auto in the vid Ie if there both set to manual it would change with size

[@JLNightmare]

Setting flip to Speed or Directional input would only change the flip speed based on your input, not board. The input needed to stay consistent for the test.

[@JLNightmare]

@ZillaTheRipper using the advanced settings completely voids the test. Having everything set to default should make it so the only variable is the board (or whatever item I’m testing). If you have to use the settings to make a difference in flip speed, then it has nothing to do with board shape, which further proves the point I was making :p
