ABOUT CONCRETE WAVES
Our mission is to get more people into skateboarding and carry it as a lifelong passion. Skateboarding is more than just a wooden plank with four wheels. It's a way to connect with friends, leave behind the daily grind and express who you are. No matter what style you choose, it's all valid. The ride is the reward.

*Great advice for beginners,* especially the wax! I never knew the tip about removin the roadside bushing, that's really smart! The way wheelbite can catch people out is when they swap to a lower degree baseplate and loosen their trucks, they forget to check for wheelbite.

The 39" SHRIKE complete I purchased came equipped with 70mm 78a freestyle/cruiser wheels. Using my skateboard for my 1-3 mile commute occasionally; thinking that larger harder wheels would provide me with a longer and perhaps faster roll. I purchased 90mm 81a pavement gobblers and built-in 6 ball precision bearings and yes; they work out great for the push and obviously a longer faster roll. Knowing that I was going to have to add riser pads to combat wheel bite, I went with the 1/2 inch and they worked great. What the risers also helped me with was; the extra half inch of height enables me to SEE AHEAD a bit better on my long push skate commute. Allowing this old man(I'm 62) a little more reaction time to avoid big rocks and trash in the bike lanes.

Thanks for all the tips. Prefer a loose feel on the surfsk8. Slow progression to softer and softer bushings. Until the bite. Add a riser or change out wheels to smaller diameter dilemma. Love Handles released. Decided to swap out the 4Pres for Love Handles. Expensive route, but happy with the choice.
@GenePavlovsky
@GenePavlovsky 8 ай бұрын
Is there a reason you didn't opt for the risers? I understand that if you have to push your skateboard/cruiser/longboard, it's nicer when it's lower to the ground, but on the surfskate I only pump and I reckon it doesn't have any downsides if it gets a bit higher?

Funny thing with using smaller wheels. Got a new skateboard because my old one wasn’t really that good anymore. Bought a complete, because I didn’t want to spend that much. Today I went out skating it for the first time and after the first real turn got wheelbite. To be fair, I did swap the wheels. When the board came, it had 52mm and I changed them to 53mm (don’t ask me why. It’s just because I’ve always been skating 53mm and I feel comfortable with them). Just out of curiosity I then switched back to the original ones and also got wheelbite with them.😆 Tightening n the trucks won’t work, because this was the first thing I did after realizing and almost squeezed my bushings. I’m not really used to them, because I’ve always skated harder ones. So now, I’ll swap the bushing with them from my old board, because they’re still almost perfectly fine, and I’ll add a riser pad. Hope that’ll do it😅

Not sure but perhaps use a flat washer at the bushings for better carving but more bite-dread or cupped washers for less of that.

Don't you rotate your wheels from time to time? I mean, every time you take your wheels off for a clean, put them back on but swapped in an X pattern (swap rear right with front left, rear left with front right) to even out the wear.

Another couple tips to prevent wheelbite...Use a large cupped washer roadside to create an almost mechanical lock on the turning radius of the truck. Loaded does this with some of their setups. Definitely works on paris and independent trucks. Also, try different bushing shapes like venom stimulators or riptide chubbys. I recommend a softer than your usual duro if using a more restrictive bushing. Different bushing shapes almost completely change the characteristics of a truck.
