Longboard cruising in London.

[@HVCLL]

Dude, blessings, I use to put your cruising as a background in a big screen time ago in a place i use to work time ago, but now youtube recommend this video and I feel I must say thanks, keep rolling and longlife

[@bartek...]

I appreciate that

[@DylanPerryFeatureAnimation]

That strap is genius! I made mine out of an LED bike ankle strap so it also doubles as a crude light. Great vid 👍

[@bartek...]

Very cool!

[@maxmiro96]

Relaxing video, looks like you had some fun skating in London 🤙🏻

[@vividxay2939]

Wow that was a very smooth switch from goofy to regular🔥

[@bartek...]

Thanks

[@bryanAcrossland]

Awesome vid! Thx for sharing.

[@bartek...]

Thanks for watching!

[@cursorygame]

I broke my humerous first week or so on mine. Got right back on it wearing a sling. I know I'm a bit crazy. I couldn't let the fear stop me though. I decided to learn to push normal do a 180 then push goofy. 180 again to normal and rinse and repeat. After 3 months in a sling doing that my balance was insane once the sling came off. May want to lube your bushings. Not supposed to sound like that. Or sound off at all. That sound makes me cringe haha.

[@bartek...]

Nothing crazy about that, you have a passion!!!! Those bushing are long time gone. Every time I "hear" that video it's embarrassing 🤣 Now there is nothing I can do about it :')

That would be a winning bet!

[@bartek...]

Thanks bro

[@Huipie81]

Nice! Love the interaction with the other skater 😊

[@bartek...]

The best!

[@lulunomu]

if you put some wax or speed cream in the pivoy cups, your trucks won't be so squeaky. you might not mind, but that kinda thing would drive me nuts. P.S. if you use speed cream, I'd wait a bit before using them or the lube will just come out in the first few minutes

[@LDPizza]

I use white lithium grease, being quite thick it lasts quite forever and doesn't leak 😉

[@2112bmac]

Very cool. Thanks for the great views. You guys are all on the wrong side of the road though. Be lucky.

[@bartek...]

I know! But everybady are on the wrong side, so I need to follow the flow. At least they not riding upside down 😱

[@roberthudson4440]

Is that a handle on the front truck? Where did you find that? I like it!

those bushings tho

love the videos ill share mine too you when i get them filmed here in las vegas nevada i have some nice scenery to show you as well keep skakting Bartek

[@bartek...]

Totally!!! Show me your city!

[@CLOUDKID11]

Hey nice vid, got a question for you. Would you recommend trip or prana for general long distance pushing/commuting....and what are the major difference between the two.Thanks (about me: just recently started and got the loaded dervish same and have just been cruising and a bit of carving)

[@bartek...]

I prefer Trip. It's a bit longer and for that reason it's easier to drag it when I need to walk. Another factor is that on my Trip I have RKP trucks, and I like them more from Paris Street, that I had on Pranyama. Apart from that, they are very similar boards.

[@KumaBones]

what shorts are those? They look clean, I wanna get myself a pair

[@bartek...]

Exactly those ones? ;P

[@imoscared]

how are you going up those lowered sidewalk curbs, im very new and when i try to go up my board gets caught also, if im unable to maintain higher speeds and cruise around is that an issue with my pushing or potentially friction in the wheels?

[@bartek...]

Two rules: 1. Always diagonally 2. Go fast

[@imoscared]

@@bartek... will try, thank you!

[@juleslondon]

How does it compare to a pintail deck?? It look like it's not too great for pumping.. I want something I can push easy but pump hard too..

[@bartek...]

I’m not sure about pintal; I’ve never had one. I think the biggest factor for pumping is track setup. I like to have them very hard and stable, but I’ll change the bushings to soft and check how it will pump. Stay tuned.

[@FrogMellow]

those grommets are SCREAMING lol, is it the hardness or just a contact effect between metal and rubber being bent.

[@bartek...]

Don't know, possibly I should replace them with new ones.

[@FrogMellow]

@@bartek... im a big guy im 6'5 270lbs and I like to use "88 Wheel Co - Gummies Barrel Bushings Belligerent Blackberry Hard - 95A"

[@Strmor1]

I'm glad I heard the call to prayer in London

[@bartek...]

On Algate east musk?

[@guillermoyaroslavlverduzco1551]

Another thing: I have my rare truck kinda tight for stability and the one in front kinda loose for turning. I ride a Drop down. How do you set yours? Your curves are closer than mine. Sorry to ask a lot, but... ¿Could you also tell me the size of your wheels and what bearings do you use? I thought my riding was smooth until I saw this. Thanks in advance, man.

[@bartek...]

That's how I do like to setup my tracks. Hard bushings on the back, softer on the front, barrels. In newest setup I'm using reked Callibre (50deg front, 44deg backs) where I can play with positive and negative rake to make that difference even more distinct.

[@guillermoyaroslavlverduzco1551]

@@bartek... Thanks a bunch for the answer, mate.

[@lulunomu]

depending on what board you have, the wheelbase and the truck angles can determine how fast you can carve your board. shorter wheelbase turn quicker and higher truck angles turn quicker.

[@trevor4530]

is the little rubber strap for a water bottle?

[@bartek...]

Nah, it's cary handle. It's easier walk in public transport with that small feature.

[@dermajulieta6668]

just droped to say, your videos are ASMR for me, :D :D just been longboarding 6 to 8 weeks ago, kind in the obssesive phase, just bought a loaded icarus it's amazing, love the way you change your feet (think it's called skoging) how long it took you to aquire that ability? thanks for posting!

[@bartek...]

After 1y I'm still not supper confident with mongo (that's how it's called). On that vid I was about 3 month in process of slowly improving it. There is another technique that I want to learn in feature, it's switch push, basically switching between regular and goofy on the go.

[@bartek...]

Asmr

[@bartek...]

Wasn't know that's it is a thing. That's exactly what's I'm trying to make

[@dermajulieta6668]

[@bartek...]

@@dermajulieta6668 You don't even know... Let me tell you a story.... Once a time I was having a sleep issues. Insomia I guess or something like that. Not really matter what was that. I don't really give a fck. I was finding myself glued to the screen with people doing their everyday weirdness. Sculpting, coding, sketching, hitching... There were to many of it! Extraordinary stuff that is skimmed into the tiktok alike short is common, but... uncompressed form!!! Full and long, something that i can presssss play and go sleep or read a book or code or ... and keep that shit playing Those day's, when I can't sleep, or just need some white noise on bacgroud screen, I have exactly what I wan't. Those videos are kindo selfish. That's why I'm surprised how many like them.

[@SirMars]

What is that loop on the front truck?

[@bartek...]

It's easier to grab that holder and pull board behind when walking

[@nural29]

been watching your videos for a long time and, fool of me, I just did realize the trucks you're rocking are TKP. How do you prefer TKP over RKP in such a long' n' low board?

[@bartek...]

I prefer RKP. This is an old video with my first Pantheon. Pranyama's are designed around speed vents and Paris Street. Those days I'm riding way more stable and speed wobble prone setup. Cal III 50/44 raked, on Trip with McFly's.

[@daniellemartinsbaby]

Im trying guess what camera is that??? Pleaseeeeee someone tell me ❤

[@bartek...]

It was dji osmo

[@strayferal]

10:17 ah so this is why you have this weird leather-like thing - to carry the board...

Yeah, I'm using it a lot. Sometimes I have strapped backpack to the board, pulling whole ting behind. Supper convinient in tube and in places where you can't ride.

I'm looking into buying a longboard myself at the moment, and this looks fun as hell. The only thing that bothers me is that i don't have much physical training and i might run out of energy fast, how exhausting is it?

[@bartek...]

It will take you few sessions to make your legs stronger, but it's nothing crazy. It's easier than running, can compare effort to cycling.

[@xempt3826]

and i disagree with bartek, longboarding is easier than cycling. just depends on your board.

[@rsgenus1]

@@xempt3826 I think you have no much experience with bikes

[@irfanzm]

Nice! Do you find not having a kicktail limiting, especially for London?

[@bartek...]

Not really. This is LDP, mostly for going on straight and carving. When I need something with kicktail I'm jumping on another board that's less suitable for long trips, but more agile.

[@Rideables]

Wow, a lot of rough pavement but looks fun! A tip for squeaking - I apply bar soap shavings (hotel small soap bar, utility knife, take apart, apply, assemble) on bushing/metal contact - it lasts for me for months without squeaking. Which grip do you use in front? I have same colored blood orange super rough one on my Rocket Exodus which I've inherited from the previous deck owner.

[@bartek...]

Soap you saying... I'll could try it. About the grip tape. Only circle is original. Idk what I've put on to replace old, some stuff from Amazon.

[@JOHAN0595]

@@bartek... I recommend wax or just a candle to apply in the bushings bc it will have more durability

[@guillermoyaroslavlverduzco1551]

Not sure if you're big and that's a normal-size long board or if that is one of those "size-reduced" longboards. I'd appreciate if you could clear my doubt, brah. Greetings from Mexico.

[@bartek...]

I'm 177cm height and this Pranyama was OK, but currently I'm riding a bit longer Trip.

[@teshyp]

Hey!!! Did you buy the pantheon online or instore? I'm debating on getting the pantheon or trip for my gf but not sure as never tried either of the boards. We cruise around London a lot too. Also what's your setup?

[@bartek...]

Pranyama is in few online shops in europe, very recently I've buyed Trip from UK online store. My setup is pretty stock. some good 85mm soft wheel, Paris 149mm street trucks. On Trip I have Paris V3 165mm 50° trucks and I like them more. On both bords I've changed stock bushings (hard, im 85kg) barrel for that linear feal and instant return to strait.

[@thomasmorus3406]

@@bartek... Hi, I like you videos very much :-) I live in Munich and I am searching for a board for commuting in the city. You seem to have the Pranayama and the Trip. And the Paris 150 and 165. Which setup would you suggest for commuting? And which wheels? 85 mm Wheel in 80a or 77a? I am considering the (Carbon) Trip with 165/50 Paris and 85mm Wheels with 80a or 77a (Caguama or Speedvents)? I would happly hear your opinion on this topic. BTW: Currently in Munich is Oktoberfest. They brew a special beer for this event. You would like it here ;-) Greetings form Munich Alex

[@davidhumphries6371]

Looks like a fun ride!! I live in a mostly flat city (Christchurch, New Zealand) and pushing around is the best way to go. How have you set your board up to pump so well? I can’t maintain pumping on my Pranayama

[@bartek...]

I've experimented with bushings, my front is loose and back tight. It's helping on small hills and with pumping. It's not perfect setup for pumping, in feature I like to experiment with my back track. Nevertheless it's fun LDP board, perfect for city, I love ride around the cars 🤫

[@davidhumphries6371]

@@bartek... thanks. I’m loving it for pushing in traffic as well, but experimenting with bushings a bit to try and pump a bit better

Pranayama is not for pumping. Some pumpable trucks like Bennett Vector wont fit bcs of wheel bite risk.
