What's Ishod Wair's Board Setup?!

[@monfrezo]

Ishod's setup: -Thunder 147 -8.3 Real deck -two top bushings on front truck -3 washers on inside of each wheel -spitfire wheels between 51-53mm -bearings, bushings and griptape unknown Nine club, please ask more detailed questions abt said skaters setup, like what truck model, high, low, hollow, standard, forged, polished, team, deck concave, default bushings and wheel shape?

[@Suicidal_Ideations]

I ran into him. He skates 52mm classic formula fours and his 147’s are standards. Grip was shake junt at the time I met him. Edit: deck concave he skates his twin tail medium concave

His twin shape in the 8.38 slick to me is a milestone moment in skate history. It sounded like a gimmick but It really a Special board to me. I'm on my 12th.

[@_SirCharge]

@TaketheK I N G D O M I started buying them 2 at time as soon as they started selling em. I bought em from 303 in Denver, a few from tactics outta Oregon and other online store like zumies. Bc surf and skate or socal skates. Where ever I find em I scoop em. They will go down on one of the greatest boards ever from DLX. And I'm.my option best deck of 2019 and 2020. Long live the slick twin tail 8.38.

I feel like his setup is something you just have to try and then you’ll understand. Cool idea though

[@DenisKetdeshit]

I tried it, love it don't think I'll ever go back

[@weslachman]

I've been riding this exact setup by chance (even the bushings!) for over 7 years. Out of necessity and being a kid I couldn't afford to buy new trucks so i stuck with the smaller ones from my setup when my feet were smaller. As my feet grew, I gradually increased deck size until I hit 8.25. AND I've always used top bushings, makes so much sense to me. So awesome to see Ishod does the same thing and likes to f l o a t above his deck

[@phillippantry2816]

@@weslachman I gotta question the top bushing that you replace the bottom with do you flip upside down or just regular

[@weslachman]

@@phillippantry2816 Yea it's upside down, I also take out the bushing shields if the kingpin still passes the axel. That's why I started doing it

[@flavalav6757]

Hearing pros who are big dudes talk about riding 8.38 or even 8.5 boards is insane to me. I’m 6’4 and switched up to the big egg boards(9.5/9.75 symetrical egg) and my skating jumped 10 levels in skill. I was under the impression it would be difficult to flip tricks or get that board onto things, but All my flip tricks are perfect now, I have more control over my board and I feel steezy carvin round on a sick heroine graphic. I’ve turned a few friends onto them and watched them unlock all sorts of things they didn’t know they could do. But if your pumpin out Ishod level skating on 8.38, don’t change a thing baby

[@mitch.w]

They doing flip in flip out stuff alot more then us tho surely

[@DandyHippo]

Lmao im a big guy and a normal 8.25 feels too wide. A high concave 8.25 or normal 8.1 is the stuff. People skated max. 8 inch 20 yrs ago so things change. I feel like its ability too, I used to skate 8.38 when I needed more stability. I feel like 8.1 is the best size if you can skate it fast confidently. Inside an 8.1 and ouside a tight 8.25 for added sturdiness

I thought everyone turned by weighting the inside/outside of the front foot while mid-push?

[@prestonpage4206]

Yeah I think everyone does.. >.>

[@ryleyeaton7349]

Yeah everybody does I think he means he has a faster response time from the leverage of a smaller wheel base with a wider board

[@sk8ter1409]

Try what hes saying and l youll get it. i ride similarly loose we all put weight on the side you wanna turn to but literally w trucks that loose it turns into small ankle adjustments to turn instead of putting certain amounts of weight on a side or leaning

[@skatethelake]

yeah but he turns the board with our ankle and foot not by leaning the knee in or out

[@Quadruple_curious]

I used to skate ‘trucks shaking while board sliding’ loose and now it’s a more standard normal loose. For me it wasn’t a qualitative difference, and if I leaned heavy I’d get wheelbite. I think because he’s not using soft bushings or anything, he gets the benefit of being able to lean heavy while turning, but not get wheelbite. This way he wouldn’t have to focus on precise ankle movements like Muhammad mentioned. This is my guess on the difference between the usual front foot turn and ishod’s

[@danielm428]

Buy a second set of bushings. Replace the bottom stock bushing and washer with a second top bushing and small top washer. That's it, now you can crank your bolt tight so that it's below the kingpin and still have super loose trucks. There's better ways to do this tbh.

[@markbrimo9680]

@Jason Hufford Totally!!! When 148 (Indy 144) size came out, it felt so much better on my 8.125 than 147 (Indy 139) but some tricks and things did feel different and I had to adjust, especially back tails, because the wider truck meant I had to get the board round and land more precisely than on narrower trucks. I did find it much more stable overall though and had more truck to grind on. Personal preference is a big part of it too.

@@dtwoi5877 Naa it's fine just ride it as is, It's just a preference thing, I find it has a few benefits with the leverage of having wider board than trucks I turn and pivot off my grinds better on ramps, it flips easier with the trucks being more centre of gravity rather than even width of the board, It locks into coping better IMO when I skated wider trucks they would slip around on the coping more and sometimes when I turn back in it would slip on the coping and I would hang up all these things are very small but when you've been skating for years you find out benefits to having different setups and I just like the small ones I get from a setup like that
