What is wheelbase, how do you measure it and how does it affect your riding? That's what I cover in this video.

@@concrete-waves Do estate adapters work on surf skates too? Or is it not worth it because you’ll be riding faster and stability is lost?? I don’t have either, but am trying to pick estate or surf skate

I’ve missed you posting. Glad to see you back from the break and I see some new boards back their 👀 definitely wanna know your opinion on the updated surf skate from landyachtz. I’ve got the flippy but due to the weather haven’t been able to really shred it. Feels super comfy tho

Thanks for sticking around. I appreciate it! I've been riding the surf life birds a bunch. I think it's solid, just not as aggressive as the pivoting adapters out there. Curious to know what you think when you ride your flippy

@@concrete-waves after getting to ride it for a day(now back to rain lmao) I can say I love it. I had to tighten the trucks a little to my preference because mine felt almost floppy instead of carvey if that makes any sense and I’m not use to surf skates. After that tho it rides like a charm. It’s super cool to see the sharper turns I’m able to make around tight corners here on campus compared to my dinghy and feels like I’m standing ona big cloud. Can’t wait to really take it out and shred it some more

👏🏼👏🏼 *I love caliber trucks but they do reduce wheelbase a bit more than most other popular trucks.* ⚡ On shortboards/minis you can somewhat mitigate a shorter wheelbase by usin lower degree angle baseplates

@adjd1576 2 жыл бұрын

I would've liked you to go into detail about why you would use a longer or shorter wheel base on a particular setup, and how you could change it. You covered the broad reason (shorter=less stable) But you're right, there are so many variables and different reasons for all of it. It would be difficult to cover it all. Definitely glad you're back!

Hey Mates! I need your help on finding the right deck as I am total newbie and this material just proved it. I am looking for replacement for my snowboard for summer 🙃 Riding style: Fakie Ollie All kind of terrain but mostly city flat grounds, lot of ppl Distances - 5-10km I’d like to downhill few times (nothing extreme😅) Deck that will be stable, able to carve and manoeuvrable? Not a longboard, something more portable I am 5’10, 170lb, 9US I thought about Landyachtz Tugboat. Is it a right choice for me? Thanks!

@iosoi3145 2 жыл бұрын

The owner of my local skateboard shop told me shorter wheelbases means you'll be pushing and pushing and pushing vs longer wheelbases where you need to push less frequently to enjoy cruising. Any truth to shorter wheelbases taking more pushing to make the skateboard roll? Didn't seem to make sense and I can't find any info on this point. Thanks in advance.

1:00 So in short, the reason you can't accurately measure 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘭 base on a blank deck is because there are no wheels yet. Makes sense haha

Sorta. No trucks = you can't figure out the true wheelbase since they all have different geometries
