A quick how-to on the basics of setting up a board for pumping.
Here's what you'll need:
1. Longboard | ROE Racing Mermaid, Subsonic Pulse 40, Earthwing Carbon, Big Myth Lucifers Hammer, Longboard Larry Walkabout, Sk8king Blaster and Gbomb illuminati are popular choices.
2. Wedges (Angled Risers)
• 10-15+ degrees of wedging in the front
• 5-10 degrees of de-wedging in the back
3. High-rebound "square shape" wheels. I use 70mm but pick 75/76mm for longer distances! (Atobe Bonneville, Abec 11 Big Zigs & Retro Zig Zags, Orangatang In-Heat & 4President, Seismic Hot Spots & Speed Vents, 3DM Avilas, etc)
4. A very turny front truck (Bennett 5.0) with excellent, snappy rebound back to center.
5. A stable rear truck with excellent return to center. Can't go wrong with either the Tracker RT-S or Seismic 130
6. BUSHINGS! Soft in front truck, hard on the back. Good bushings make all the difference and will vary from rider to rider. It's important to try different hardnesses (durometers) & different shapes (barrels/cones) until you get it right.
