Shout out to Real for the deck-wood riser pads. I feel like the nano-tubes in the wooden risers are more forgiving than plastic, more durable than rubber.

7.75 to 8.1 is great haha idk how the new gen are riding huge boards. They are so much harder to flip and pop

@mattmakescovers 4 ай бұрын

@@khmerboredom4 I think the reason why people prefer wider boards nowadays is because its easier to adjust the amount of pop and flip you get. With more narrow boards its pretty damn fast no matter how slowly you flick or gently you pop.

Chris, please replace the 7.75" deck by the BLIND GAVIN DOG PUND SLICK 1993 REISSUE 8.125" deck and keep your indies and 50mm wheels... Replace hardware too 😅. You will trippin' on it 😊🎉 !!! Peace

All industries want consumers to buy as much as possible. The more confused we are, the more stuff we have to buy to figure out what actually makes us happy. Content like this helps average people avoid being abused by the tyranny of capital, even just that little bit, and get more enjoyment out of what we love. Skateboarding. Thanks, dudes.

As someone who has only been skating a few years, I find switching components of my setup is helpful when trying to learn a new type of trick. Helps emphasize the concept/feel of the trick. Once I get it dialed, I'll usually go back to my daily driver and be able to land it much easier than having banged my head against the wall for weeks. Great vid, fellas!

I totally wanted a Roberts twin paddle 😂, but ever since I tried the 14.25 wheelbase on a board, I've went bigger even. 8.5 too, and at or a bit longer than 32" is my fav right now. Been wanting to see this video, since you mentioned it from the previous vid, the one you were talking about the contrast of the smooth slappy and rough ground. I can't wait to really put more skating down on the 8.5 when the snow clears

That was great! That spot looks super fun! I been riding the 8.5 true fit mold DLX decks with the 13,75 wheelbase. I thought it would be way to small so I switched from indys to Thunder 149s to even it out a bit. Its the perfect setup for me. Wide and stable but feels light and snappy!

i don't mind a little hardware thread showing. 1", 1 1/8", 1 1/4", i like cast plates and sometimes ride risers. whenever they are flush with the nuts i feel like they'll come loose, even though it's never happened(with indy bolts anyway)

@simoncejas 2 ай бұрын

1 inch hardware worked best for me, especially when I was street skating around town a lot. The little bit of extra thread on the 1 in bolts seemed to keep a better hold and stay tighter longer. 7/8 hardware would always get loose more often (from skating rough terrain), and I've lost a lot of nuts because of that. So it was always 1 inch hardware for the win. 👍🏻
