The Perfect Skateboard And My Board Set Up

[@vancouvercarpenter]

I have NEVER been un-able to tell my front truck from my back. Back truck always has deep coping/5.0 groove and front has crookie monster groove. I have never marked my trucks ever except with sweet, sweet grinds.

[@svnbit8408]

@@DanCorrigan can you ride high end bearings without play? I like the stealthy sound and pop with snug bolts using spacers, but want fast too. I don't on't know if that's possible I think Swiss always needs some play, or were just loud. I haven't ridden in 16 years so I missed a lot of new stuff that's been out over the years. Are the fast bearings necessarily louder like the ole Swiss, sisssss have been?

[@davo4hollin707]

Something to bare in mind is that it's not the wheel base of the board as such as trucks are slightly different. Indys angle in and thunders angle out so this changes your wheelbase. True wheel base should be taken from hanger bolt to hanger bolt. I learnt this from professor shmit on the 9 club. Very interesting 1 🙂x

[@tharbear4207]

Some of us just love skateboarding so much, the parts the setups, the combos . It's as subjective as a cup of coffee but that's exactly why we love it. Sometimes it may lead to a better pop or a faster whatever. I could talk about skateboard parts like musicians talk about their guitar or mechanics talk about their car👍🏻🤘🏻🛹

Keen to see the rail company come together so we can support you a bit more than just pressing the like button. I'm a 33 year old look trying to learn before my kids realise I'm a look, your vids get me out there daily. I think my five year old already suspects I'm a kook though.

[@johanjotun1647]

[@ericmueller6687]

Yeah I been following Ben for a long time. I always wondered how he could progress when always switching his setup.

[@darkwingduck7212]

Thunders give you a larger wheelbase and independent makes your wheelbase shorter. By like a quarter of an inch I think.

[@warhammer1]

Good to know, I’ve only ever ridden Indy’s (I don’t skate a lot). Will try thunders out, TY for the info!

[@gaiusgermanicus8296]

That’s right. Ace have the shortest and venture the largest it basically goes Ace

[@JohnDoes620]

I dont really ride Indy’s but I have thunders on a short wheel base deck giving me the same wheel base I would on a more standard size with Indy’s 🤷🏼‍♂️ Seems to ride very nice

[@Euzly]

@@warhammer1 def get new bushings the ones in thunder break after time and trucks loosen themselves until they fall apart lol

[@mtgguiltfeeder4111]

It’s fascinating to me as an older skater, how we all gradually went from huge, puffy shoes and skinny boards to thin shoes and wider boards. Came back after an extended hiatus and I’m trying to adjust still. I do agree with the wider boards but still prefer my old school puffy Globes. I’ve got some AVEs that I really like but my feet/ankles feel so vulnerable.

[@JXero]

I too still prefer my big clunky shoes. I was so excited about Fallen, but I just can't do that tennis shoe style. I only wear Metal Mulisha x Etnies now. They've gotten super light in their recent iteration so it's like best of both worlds.

[@darksaga80]

Best thing about skating now is all my revert tricks that were outlawed in the early Aughts are cool again. Same thing with a lot of my transition lip tricks. Other day did a BS 50/50 to BS lipslide and the yutes on the mini ramp lost their shit. Good times man, good times.

[@taylorlawler3525]

Try out the Nike Force 58s. Great protection, solid board feel, and they last quite a long time (plus they are only around $75). I tried a lot of other shoes before I found ones with the balance of puffy/protection, but not straight bricks.

[@stephenhobbs7621]

I've always thought the purpose of riser pads were to prevent pressure cracks around the hardware holes. Everytime I got a new board there were cracks. Since using riser pads I don't see them.

[@darksaga80]

I was going to mention the same thing. I used to have these rubber riser pads that absorbed a ton of shock and was told the same thing. They're supposed to disperse the vibration from landing away from your trucks and hardware so it doesn't crack your board.

[@DarmokAtTanagra]

i would rather have pressure cracks and a board that feels right than use risers. i began skating using risers, once i stopped i never looked back. have snapped a lot of boards risers or no i don't think it really prolongs your deck or anything

[@cobbler9136]

i learned kickflips on a 9.25” with indy 144’s and 61mm Rat Bones, and 1/4” risers. that thing could do almost a full 180 with no effort, but was so high off the ground it needed a tailbone. the flips were still slow, so the smaller trucks didn’t affect it too much, but the big thing was turning with it. still ripped tf out of bowls tho wit such a tight turning radius

[@AndyGrushinskiy]

I FEEL you on the double flips, I got a couple friends that always pull that one in a game of skate that one get me

[@ericmueller6687]

The bearing spacers allow you to tighten your wheels all the way, without them your wheel will stop spinning if tightened. In the 90’s I remember always haven’t axel jam which caused one wheel to stop spinning. Spacers prevent your wheel from stopping when tight.

[@__hetz]

Spacer between the bearings to take up the gap between the inner races inside the wheel, "speed rings" on the outers (inner axle before the wheel goes on, outer before the locknut). Idea being the axle/nut won't crush or pinch the bearings as you described. Definitely works to keep wheels tight and without wobble while still spinning free. On my longboard I use Spaceballs bearings where the spacers and speed rings are part of the inner races (the inner race is just extend on each side). No "regular" boards right now sadly. If I get a popsicle or cruiser board any time soon I'll probably go for built-in bearings again. Less parts, just crank them down tight and go riding.

[@davidleeashkenazi8992]

All true, but good luck finding the right ones for your wheels (wheels are also different) - most are too short to actually connect both bearings

[@klubstompers]

@@davidleeashkenazi8992 Sand your inner spacer to fit. You can even use your grip tape to sand it.

[@l.j.i]

Pepper grip tape. I used to only skate with Mob until I found Pepper (of course if there is no Pepper, it's still back to Mob). But it's the perfect mix between Mob and Jessup... super grippy but doesn't rip your thumb apart the first few days skating and your shoes will last longer, and stays the same grippiness throughout the entire boards life. 🙌

[@slothnessmonster4465]

Reds work until the ball spacers get worn and jagged because its made of cheaper material. Super reds and up are made with better material which is why they last longer. You can prevent the wear by cleaning out your bearings and keeping your shields on. Truth be told, the only reason they get seized up is because of the excess dirt ends up between the ball spacer and the ball. It begins to solidify and creates more friction between the two causing accelerated wear to the original shape. Going shieldless prevents the excess since the dirt is free to roll out but the lube wont last as long. Bottom line, CLEAN YOUR BEARINGS AND MAKE SURE YOUR BALL SPACERS DON'T GET SEVERELY WORN. Your bearings will last forever so as long as you maintain them. Brand doesn't matter, just clean and lube them properly and you'll go zoom zoom. One last note, BIGGER BALLS EQUAL FASTER JUST LIKE BIGGER WHEEL EQUALS LESS PUSH. *COUGH* swiss big ball six *COUGH* Thanks for reading this nerd shit.

[@darksaga80]

Rocket Ron's ceramics were hands down the best bearings I've ever ridden for park and ramp. He's gone now, but you never know how much faster those ceramic bearings are until you drop in and realize you barely have to pump and you're already on that next wall. I'm back to the Reds now, but Ron's were the best, hands down. You could even send your bearings to him and he'd clean them and ship them back to you.

I switched from Indy to Ace this past year, and I actually feel like the AF1s have incredible stability for landing. I can get a way sharper carve out of them without the truck being sloppy like my Indys have to be for the same turn.

[@frankrotthier4392]

Ace AF1’s with their Hard Bushings (kingpin nut flush) are amazing. They feel more solid with a beter turn than Indy’s to me.

[@japrar]

@@frankrotthier4392 my top 3 truck setups right now are AF1 with medium Bones Hardcore, AF1 with hard Ace bushings, or Indy 215 with bones hardcore (hard bottom/med top), depending on the size and purpose of the board. The Ace bushings definitely give a more stable yet sharper carve vs Indy w/default. Gotta get shorter bushings and sloppy trucks to make an Indy keep up on that carve.

Andele swiss are really good. I'm just like you about reds, and super reds. However, I got ahold of some prod swiss andeles for cheap during a SW sale, they are just like bones Swiss, I can't tell the difference they roll smooth and far just like bones swiss...they last forever as long as you clean them, I've had those for probably almost 2 years now, I don't skate crusty spots like that, but I do like to go on long rides and just cruise and they've held up good. I actually have a brand new set andele swiss still in the package that I don't need to put on yet, they aren't the prod ones though. They are easy to clean, I wouldn't get them for full price but if you can catch a sale or free from someone definitely recommend trying them. I settled on 8.125 last year... perfect for me and how I like to skate. I know people probably think this is lame but I'll tell it,...I got a limited edition Nyjah element a couple years ago out of curiosity... because it was advertised as his personal shape they didn't make for everybody just him...Paul Schmidt helped him create it or whatever, and I loved it...super flat, super mellow, wheelbase not that long but not super short good medium, just a well balanced board tbh... I killed that board...I usually don't kill boards like that, usually give them away or just leave it at a skatepark for someone to find when I feel like it's done...I'm not a big breaker for some reason never have been, I guess I don't stomp...but I absolutely couldn't stop riding that board and ended up actually cracking it and the crack made an uncomfortable lump toeside near the back front bolts, so I finished it off. I couldn't find anymore online, even went as far to search eBay and someone was selling one but he wanted way too much for it...like $200 or something dumb, so I went back to REAL 8.25, messed around on some twin tails etc. Fast forward maybe a year later, he leaves Element, starts disorder...all of the 8.125's they push out are that same exact shape he rode when he was on element... so now I can always get that shape, so I'm happy. Yeah his company isn't all that cool to a lot of people, blah blah...idc man. I'm 33 I can give af about things like that. Just happy to skate and to finally settle, so I hope they don't stop the pressing of that particular shape. 147 thunders, allen hardware 7/8's as well...love bones stf, but also like formula 4's in classic shape... usually doing 32's, can't stand conical or lock ins. Mob for sure...same, I don't even bother with anything else anymore, usually some stupid graphic they have, currently got TMNT mob grip lol...but mostly just basic mob. Oh and not really a fan of having multiple boards in different sizes, a quiver I guess people call it. I used to do that and it just throwed me off...I do have extra boards but they are the same disorder 8.125.

Thunders start turning sooner than Indys but have a shallower turn when you lean into them. Thunders basically have no slack in the middle, they're really good if you skate them tighter because you can still turn. Indys are carvier and taller, better on transition. The "Mindys" are.. bleah, can't stand them personally, heavy, weird pop feel. If you want a lower Indy get the forged baseplate ones.
