Yes!

Glad you like it 😊

I have a carver triton and now got the SC with c5's... for some reason the c5 seems more unstable which its crazy cause I got them to have more stability

@mauroxhc885 tighten them. I mained them in the bowl on a 14.5 wb 1980s reissue Powell Peralta deck and the were more stable than my ace af1's I'm using now on a creature stumps deck.

Do you have the screaming hand or just c5 trucks? I noticed on the carver website it says the c5 come with 92A cone/barrel but the screaming hand comes with cone/cone. The independent bushings won’t work because the street size would be too short. Most longboard height bushings would work though. I swapped the venom shr bushings 88 front 91 rear cones I have on the cx onto the c5 and got instant wheel bite with 60mm wheels, even with an extra 1/8 riser. I think the only way to get more lean/looseness from these is downsizing the wheels or raising the height (defeats the advantage of the c5). Might have to try 56mm wheels. Which are you using?

@@muckeyn I’ve got my C5’s on an 8.88 Krooked Mark Gonz deck. I’ve got some hyperflex 56mm wheels, called, “rock candies”. They’re super hard. Not for, “SurfSkating”. I had 54.5 mini OG Slimeballs, 78A, previously on same C5 setup. But, I literally cracked the slimeball wheel with an ollie. I have some videos up with specs and stuff for the rock-candies, but I don’t recommend them frankly. They aren’t conical, they’re like regular, hard, street skating wheels from the 90s. The rounded wheels are better for flip tricks. Not as good for SurfSkating. Yeah, I haven’t tried switching the bushings. I don’t think I’m running risers. I’ll go look. If I am they’d be 1/4” risers. No wheel bites on anything, not doing Ollies, nor flip tricks. The truck will actually turn and make the deck slip out from under me before it bites. Makes sense about the bushing sizes, as the bushings on C5 look taller. But yeah, someone told me the soft Indy aftermarket bushings loosen it up greatly and work well. I haven’t tried. But I know the hard stock bushings on it, don’t make it surfy much. If I loosen it, not comes off. :-/

@@mikeuptegrove gotcha. What’s the width of those wheels? I’m trying to find a wheel that is still fairly grippy for pumping but works for ollies, flips and maybe some curb grinding here and there. I grew up skating in the late 90s so I don’t want to go back to those tiny hard wheels ha. I tried some venom barrels boardside I already had today and I didn’t get any wheelbite but it felt similar to the stock cone/cone bushings even though they are softer. I need to find my wheels and deck first then dial in the bushings.

@@muckeyn I don’t know the wheel wheel width sadly. I think you’re asking about the Rock Candies I have on the C5 and not the mini OG slimeballs. The 54.5 slimeball OG minis are very grippy at 78a. Flat too. You’ll have to pop harder for flip tricks though. I also grew up skating in the 90s in Northern CA, spent a lot of time in SF during the height of its fame for skating; was right in the mix of a lot of cool stuff. Was pretty awesome. I just started skating again after more than 23 years off a board entirely…SurfSkating gave skating a new life for me.

@@mikeuptegrove same here! Grew up in socal. Been a bit over 20 years since I seriously skated outside of cruisers and longboards.

That was an older C5 that I inverted the kingpin myself. And I can't remember what bushings setup it came with now. Yeah without risers and loose truck, it's definitely possible to get wheelbite. But also depends if you carve deep on flat

@@shanelai2515 ah, I’ll have to invert it for clearance then. Have to figure out the ideal bushing setup first. Seems like minimal room to increase lean and avoid wheelbite unless you downsize wheels. 60mm are a challenge for me.

SOLRIDE surfskate is killing it at the moment. Check them out 🤙

I did not like the carver park wheels. It felt slow and dead. Now choosing wheels will depend on your type of riding and what you are going to do in the bowl. At the moment I am enjoying the Nana bludgers (62mm 82a). You might also try Powell Peralta G-bones. Or Ricta clouds 92a

Yeah C5 is great at that

Everything is stock

Personal preference I think. If it's just carving in the bowl, both can do the work but CX will give a better surfy feel

That's nice!! I'm riding a similar setup with a Tommy Guerrero deck, c5 trucks and g-bones 64mm wheels

Difference is about 20mm. I need a 6mm riser with softer bushings and 56mm wheels to avoid wheelbite on the c5.

Yeah. Melbourne
