I'm glad you're really liking your trotta pro! I purchased one last year with some 180mm Caliber 3 44R trucks and I don't love how that setup feels. The Calibers + Trotta kinda makes my setup feel tippy and boaty when doing slides compared to some of my other setups. I'll likely keep messing around with it and see if different trucks combonations help out with the responsiveness of the board, but currently when initiating heelsides I lose a lot of the responsiveness that I'm used to having in slides.

First ! I love watching your videos , i'm a downhill longboarder from Romania and the fastest i've gone is 70 km/h , making videos like this means a lot to us . have fun!

[@owencampbell777]

That's awesome!

[@DaddyRobotX15]

ya now what i like ? This subscriber likes the fact that witn your videos , the viewer is seldom left witn any further questions on the given subject but , my favorite thing is kinda a bonus ; its the miscellaneous yet applicable side information ( like, you'll detail as a side caveat point how your toesides actually feels due to how the hardware being setup to some degree or manner) you bring along. i suppose its experience Whateoit is , i find i it invaluable. 👊🏻

I look at wheelbite as an imaginary triangle with the 3 lines corresponding to: deck widh, track width, and ride height. Wider deck and wider track, then the wheelbite triangle is complete, and you get wheelbite. A wide deck with narrow track will have the wheels tuck under the deck when leaning, so the wheelbite triangle is unable to complete itself. Vice versa, a super narrow deck even with wider track width will likely not lean down enough to complete the wheelbite triangle.

I. Love. Diagrams.

Had one on 9" Cal III R, the extra leverage felt nice. I wish it had some taper, I had the same experience as you where I was losing track of where my back foot was. On the narrowest wheelbase I really liked the kicktail, got pretty good pop on it. Overall I liked the deck, but it wasn't the byron-esque vibe I'd hoped it would be. Got a Theory shortly after, which quickly became one of my all time favorite decks.

hey man I really like your videos and how in depth you go not only into gear but also your own preferences and how you like to skate. big ups!

[@owencampbell777]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this

I love the non-cave on this board, and the flush mounts are sick. I wish the tail was flatter though. Torsional flex seems ok to me stock, but composite decks definitely feel stiffer. I also wish the front wb options weren't so far apart, I'd love an extra half inch on the front where the middle option is. I use the middle options on the front and rear. I would 100% ride this if I didn't own a katana!! Still wish the katana didn't have micro drops, or at least had smaller drops.

[@owencampbell777]

Big agree. I find myself swapping between the inner and middle options on the front mounting pretty often. Back is usually in the same spot. No micro drops has been an extremely appealing aspect of this board. I maybe exaggerated the torsional flex issue in this video, but it was one of the major talking points I could really elaborate on. I don’t want people to get the wrong idea though, because it’s still an extremely capable deck.

Love seeing yall up at m3 in this vid!! ❤

[@owencampbell777]

I LOVE M3

[@NathanRink]

I've ridden my friend's trotta and i just felt like it was like a boat. I liked the kick on it, but I personally didnt l like the lack of concave

[@owencampbell777]

The juxtaposition between the relatively small wheelbase and the wide width is really interesting. It’s nimble at the 22.5” WB but it carries lots of extra weight from the width and tail.

[@kalebmccrink]

which one of your friends rides a trotta?

​​@@owencampbell777 *Keep up the awesome videos!* I'm currently testin 44deg front and de-wedged 39deg in the back with Caliber II 184mm (10inch) on my electric shortboard. I really liked my 50/44 split and so far 44/39 isn't feelin as good but I'm still experimentin with bushings and truck tightness. Might try 50/39 then go back to 50/44.

[@owencampbell777]

Sweet!! Keep in mind that I used that angle split on approximately a 23” wheelbase. What’s the wheelbase of this particular eboard?

[@eBoard3R]

@@owencampbell777 20-22" or so. A lot of my choices are preference based, that sweet spot between lean and turn where I can really throw a board around to carve at speed, have stability but still have some turnin at lower speeds when people dodgin 😂 I've been experimentin with split angles and such for 2 or 3years now.
