If you have time you should do a video about how to set up split angle trucks and how to tune the under/over steer that can come with a split setup

[@abelluque8611]

That would be very very cool

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Really interesting. PHD level. I am more crayon 🖍️ level but working on it. Stay Rad Sir.

[@samsidorchuk7171]

Your shape looks phenomenal! Always love getting in-depth info on what people are riding.

[@OutlandishMojo]

Great breakdown Adrien!

[@federicosavardi5203]

Really like it!!!! Hope to see you soon frenchy❤

Going along with your euro kid inspired WB and such, I'd love to see a video from you about foot placement. I raced a lot 15+ years ago and have gotten back at it, and the new DH slalom setup is boggling me. Some runs its just way beyond what we'd ever dreamed of back in the day and awesome. On others I just can't make it do/feel how I want or even bail because I'm not very consistent on foot placement and obviously new to things like blocks and foot stops!

[@xXGe0rgEXx]

You steer a lot more with your front foot and the rear foot just stays over the board. Look at most people riding tiny boards with slalom trucks, their rear foot doesn't do much except bend forward to weight the front of the baord.

Super sick dude. just bought a pair of tyshawns today

[@tudormuresan2441]

Hey Adrien, been loving the tutorials lately. You have one of the best styles in the game in my opinion. We met on Izoard this summer briefly, hopefully we get to skate together next summer. 💯🔥

[@BayAreaLongboarder]

I was significantly surprised with how much grip ZM1s have compared to the golds. Hope you’re doing well, Adrien!

[@skate-further]

Thanks for the summary! I dig the graphics, takes me back to school :D How did you get on there, or was that done by madrid ?

[@SchwappSchwopp]

I really love how detailed you dial in your setup! I'm looking for a setup which I can use for commuting to parks, spots etc. but sth. I can have fun with, too. Currently got a beginner cruiser setup with grippy af 80a, wide contact patch carving style wheels, but I've been skateboarding for 20 years :D What wheels and setup in general would you recommend for powersliding at lower speed like 10-20 mph cruising around town and bombing some hills from time to time?

[@leereynolds8811]

Thoughts on position of the footstop? Through mounting holes versus offset to the side a bit

[@JohnnyD5dub0]

Any tips/cheat codes for sliding race wheels for those coming from traditional freeride round lip wheels ? Love the tech breakdowns!

[@AdrienPaynel]

nothing revolutionary. Unfortunately, speed helps. Get comfortable with picking your hand up after long slides. I think the small boards really help because it gives you more input for corrections. One thing that really helps is leaning off your board much more than you would with round lips, it is always better to lowside than highside...

Sick review ! Have you ever tried split widths on the zm1s ? Would love to hear your feedback

[@AdrienPaynel]

i have not! i was riding split on the gold rogues but settled on a sym width

[@doost7846]

Is it easier to learn on a longer board?
