Nah, Nah For real. Coming from someone who only uses youtube for tutorials, this is fantastic. He taught me all the vocabulary and terminology i needed to know so that i can achieve my goal. From lip to contact patch thank you very much for the well though out and articulated video.

Great video, thanks. Getting back into skateboarding and decided to get a deck for cruising. Already purchased two sets of wheels, one set with a harder compound and one set with a softer compound so I can switch between the two depending on how I want to ride. Just waiting for warmer weather to hit the streets. Cheers!

@user-sd7qt3hy8l 8 лет назад

This is a great video! Thank you! Highly informative. I've been skateboarding for years, but I noticed that I'm not going as fast as I'd like to. Even with expensive bearings, I can't keep up with longboarders. Also, I have to push 10 times as much as a longboarder. So, I decided to get into longboarding lol. I want to GO FAST and carve!! I bought a Globe small longboard and the wheels that came on it are cambered , which is why it carves so damn nice. I love longboarding.

Great video! Your explanations are quite useful and complete. I'm setting up my first surfskate, trying to make the best cost x benefit possible. I'm working on a longboard 'carvy and grippy' enough to bring that surf feeling into the streets. Anyway, Im not a longboard expert but my research and your videos are directing me to this possible Set up: Deck: Similar to the Sector 9 Striker, 32 to 38 inches Trucks: Similar to the Gulling Side winder or Carver C7 or CX. Bushings: softs like cone style Wheels: 70 to 75 mm tall, 70 to 80A soft, 50 to 70mm contact, centerset maybe offset with shine skin and sharp lip Am i forgetting anything? can you suggest any decent fair price set up or brand?! Thank you and good job to you all!!

@viento99 8 месяцев назад

For carving bowls, sounds like a sharp-lip, nonslip wheels would be better for emulating snowboard carving, where it doesn't break traction. I'll try and find out

@nazgul3 8 лет назад

Hey @Tactics Boardshop. It's still unclear which wheels I should get. I prefer using a short board (I think you call them park decks) to ollie this and kickflip that. However, going from point a to point b on campus can be loud (because of the hard wheels) and difficult (because of rough surfaces). What wheels can I use on my short board that'll keep things quiet, keep me jumping, and possibly provide room for a little powersliding here and there?

@jacopopodavini4681 8 лет назад
