Is it possible to use the board and have a better braking power with the brake on the front instead of the rear? Is it comfortable to stomp the brake pedal with the front foot? Maybe it’ll brake better because the weight is transferred forward when you brake…

As freestyle pro Witter Cheng says, you can pretty much get used to any board. It just defends on your ride style

How much do you weigh ?

Pile of dog poop as a marker😂

You should review the pantheon karma wheels and compare them to the mcflys

Hi. A question , does the dodger is very différent from the riper. Does it worth it ? Or its a better idea to have 2 boards for the price of the dodger

Did you use the pro series brake kit ? They advertise fast downhills slope breaking … do you have a review for that

It’s a fun jack of all trades, honestly I love mine for that

The firs longboard channel I found that actually does serious longboard riding! I love your videos! If you’re not sponsored already, you really should be!

5:05 doesnt seem like it works

Mine got stolen out my car, still one of my favourite boards. I went way to fast on this thing 😂

It's very interesting to watch you ride. Please continue.

nice dude. my record is probably 20-25 after that the soles of my foot feel like they're burning and socks kinda start tearing skin off. definitely not easy cant imagine how you felt

I think big wheels are just a waste of money. I have tried Speedvents purple blackops 85 mm. My original wheels are Arbor Easyrider 69 mm. The difference is small. And my speedwents have chunks after only 6 weeks. The Arbor have not and I used them 5 times more. Anyway who ride on roads like those in your video? It s just for test. Ok but in real life you don t need big wheels bigger than 70 mm for two reasons - short life and very expensive.

I would recommend to switch the bearings with bones red it would make the board 10x better and it maked it very nice

I have to have this board!

Thank u for detailed review, thought about getting one to try hitting hills, but looks like it’s not gonna work for me. Bless

Nice board but it costs $170.00... That's a lot of money for a longboard. I like the cows!

which better for curising depends on how ruff the road it. crack to wheel should be greater than 1 to 4. So the wheel need to be 4 time bigger than crack. so if there is 15mm cracks you need at least 60mm wheel. If road in really poor shape and there is 20mm cracks then you need 80mm. Also the ratio rule goes for bumps too. though for bumps it more like 1 to 8 to be on the safe side. this also goes for the size of the rocks.

Apply same logic with vehicle brakes. If you drive your car downhill and are constantly on the brakes your brakes heat up and become less effective. Common knowledge is front brakes make up for more than half the power and this set up gives you only rear brakes I love mine and understand the limitations.

Awesome vdo bro!

Excellent review thanks for the recommendation, how do I learn more about the pros and cons of bushings? Different types, quality brands etc?

Like 10 YEARS ago you could get a black knock-off penny board with a braking system and SO glad I didn't. Seems it hasn't changed from here where /when it didn't let you bomb hills safely earlier, slowed progress, increased weight, and got people in dangerous situations they weren't ready for even tripping people trying to brake and corner with the peg catching + less grip. Flat boardwalk cruising was okay to look like you didn't need to run of board when starting out I suppose.

The previous versions in 2012 worked better and you use any wheels so you could put bigger on.

130 trucks and Doozies it AMAZEBALLZz

Can one and done this board - using the kick-tail for sharp turns and getting the standard flip tricks and LD dance moves just needs the specialization. If you ride a bunch of boards it basically just becomes a boardwalk cruizer.

As a skateboarder why don’t you guys just get independents or thunders etc etc no hate generally curious

Riding this board on the weekend to chase that poontang. Respect.

5:55 lollllllllllll jajajajajjajjj beautiful review, love all the content in the channel, you are genuine and very rational, no bs

I really like your unique style of making the video, very interesting to watch, when you just cruise around and describe different places in the city. I like that you don't hide the truth, you show it like it really is. Nairobi is pretty nice tho. Make more videos like that.

Can you compare the comet to your upgraded setup for the LY ripper? I'm looking for a playful/carvey LDPumping cruiser.

anyone know some decent brands to buy some from?

Also me at my first race: 0:24 "I'm Excited... underprepeared, undertrained and unexpericed" 😂 Great video & effort man! It's normal to recover for days after that increase of exercise volume/distance compared to your normal routine.

Great video

I personally prefer Dinghy over Tugboat, although I like them both. That's probably because I'm smaller than you.

geeze awesome review this is exactly what i was lookin for. i wish there was a product that wasnt so integrated into the trucks/wheels. maybe im an idiot but i struggle to see how you couldnt just have a mechanism that applies a mass of rubber or somethin directly to the ground that can be replaced after it wears down.

Dog 💩 as a marker 😅

Actually mini cruisers are good for short distance

would you recommand the tugboat or this one? my dinghy killed it'self by driving in a lake lmao, and was wondering if I should get this one or the tugboat

Made my day 😂👏🏻👏🏻

Great review! Music from Chrono Trigger fits great to the video ;)

mini cruiser are fun on the street, longboard are only good for straight road without cars

This was really cool. Would love to visit one day.

I highly disagree that the Comet is the best skateboard. You haven't ridden one of my custom builds. A comet cruiser will never carve, cruise, or feel as good as my custom built, dialed in Surfskates with a Meraki on the front, set up for carving and cruising. If you're coming from a Comet or similar ride to one of my custom builds, you most likely won't like it as much at first....until you ride it long enough that it feels stable and natural, and learn to ride it the way it's meant to be ridden. Then you will experience what I'm talking about and would never be satisfied with A Comet or any board with regular trucks. The closest thing you can buy similar to mine is the Carver Surfrider. Get a Surfrider, and put a Meraki truck on the front with 4" hangers and give yourself a few weeks at least to acclimate to it. You won't want to ride the Comet as much.

That's why I do not like much the idea of "cruiser board". I have an 8.6 deck on 149mm trucks, 65mm wheels... thats just an crossover between 70's deck on size but with modern concave. It could get even more stable with 159mm or 169mm with a 9/10' deck. Maybe an deck with 16' wheelbase with 32 or 33'. I just can't think of not buying and skateboard piece by piece. Maybe that landyyatchs is just a cool buzz, it might be an choice to build up piece by piece yourself and gets really better results.

I can’t Ollie yet but seeing that big ass ditch you concurred with ease I have to step my game up.

I need you to review the Supersonic so that I can decide between them!

Has anybody tried Dad Bod 105mm 80a wheels on this (or other over 100m harder wheels?)? Thinking, of updating 92mm 74a Karmas little big bigger and harder for hoping better rolling atributes. And review is Killer! Bought same board after saw this! great Job!

I am curious: Have you tried riding the long board the other way around, with the brake in front? On bikes the front brake is significantly stronger than the back brake, and I can imagine the same thing happening here.

Hello, what do you think about Ditch life?
