If you want to bomb hills, put softer bushings on the road side of the hanger and harder on the deck side. You want your back end to be slightly softer than your front truck. This can help reduce speed wobbles in general because you will have more control of your backend. Ideally you would have a lower angle baseplate in the back, but this should help you hit hills.

It’s a sick deck. Low to the ground, flexy, nice wheel cutouts that prevent wheel bite, and perfect for going distances. Similar decks would be the Quest and the Wanderlust (not sure if he has these in production). But the Ember is a solid deck for pushing. Note: it is not a deck you should ride on hills.

@kanebenjamin4973 жыл бұрын
When you’re tightening your kingpin, as a general rule of thumb, screw down to where the kingpin nut is flush with the top of the kingpin. See if there’s play in your trucks, and if there is, screw down 1/2 rotation, and see if there’s play again. Once the trucks have no play, you’ll be good to go. This is not a rule of thumb, but when I reassemble my trucks I can usually see 1-3 threads of the kingpin depending on my setup.

All right question here from a guy who wants to get back in longboarding: I have a 2012 (I think) land yatch drop carve that I really like. But now I am mostly cruising around and for that I feel the ride a little to rough. If I change the wheels for something bigger and softer (I have now my old mini zombies 70mm 80a) will it really change the smoothness of the ride? We ride in the city with lots of imperfections on the road.

Any tips on what to do if we use new bearings and the truck axle has extra space on the side after tightening the axle nut? I switched zealous bearings onto my hawgs but the original spaceball bearings were a little wider so the axle nut would screw on perfectly leaving no extra space on the axle. However, with zealous it would appear that there is a little left over on the truck axle (should this be something to be concerned about?)

Graphite spray lubrication (used for key holes in locks) is great for the bushings and truck parts too. It can get messy so use it outside over something you don't want a black stain on if a drip occurs. The bad thing about wax is that it will invite dirt and grime to accumulate in those areas, whereas once applied the graphite spray is dry and not sticky, so less chance of accruing dirt in those areas. Great video as always, keep em coming. I enjoy your laid back review style. You and your crew should do some videos of just skating too. Cruising, carving, antics, whatnot. Like the snowskate video, that was fun to watch. Thanks for putting out useful and entertaining content, keep it up!

Putting (silicone) grease between bushing and hanger might be too much - depending on the bushing seat of the hanger. In some cases (more open bushing seats) the bushing then will move around way too much and resistance against turning goes way down.
