You have definitely gotten more comfortable on the board and you can tell by the speed you go now vs in your other vids has increased so great job. Also the reason why the cheezegrater may not be so “fun” carving and turning is because it’s not really meant to be used for everyday skating in like a tight city or turny small roads it’s meant for bombing hills and sliding a ton around corners instead of carving or turning on them because if you do try to carve hard with it, because it’s so stable and kind of always in a fixed position you’ll actually get to the point where you’ll just lean the whole board itself and possibly lift your wheel off the ground because of the tight trucks where in contrast something like a dinghy, it’s trucks being more loose would just turn the trucks
Always enjoy vlog style videos, talk and skate. 👌🏼 *I really wanna try the new Caliber III Raked* 🤙🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼 Maybe a video on bushing setup etc you'e tried?
I may be wrong but I think the rebound is suppose to help you on top speed for downhill, leaning is better than turning for downhill/freeride. Downhill254 has one of the best resources if you're getting on the downhill hobby. Good to see you back, awesome b-rolls. Good luck on the business venture homie
I can, I was planning to not ride it much since I’m using it for the giveaway but I can do a video featuring the board and showing it off with all the specs and a little cruise to see it action for sure! Thank you so much for watching, I truly appreciate it 🙏🏽
Hey! Do you think is worth upgradeing from an arbor pilsner to the landyachtz cheesegrater just for cruising around the city and parks? no downhill...just cruising/carving
perhaps a bit late, but the cheesegrater will be quite a bit less responsive and will not be able to turn as easily and as sharp as the pilsner, due to the increased deck length and decreased truck angle. The cheesegrater is also more of a freeride/downhill board and not really a cruiser. If you want a board made for carving and just cruising I would heavily recommend the Loaded Icarus, it's more of a flexy board but is excellent for carving. And since it's so flexy and comes with fairly big wheels you'll be able to go over cracks and little bumps without feeling a thing. The Loaded Tan Tien, Landyachtz Drop Cat (33 or 38 depending on what your preference is), Landyachtz Drop Hammer and the Arbor Axis or Zeppelin are also good options for cruising/carving. Though I would recommend the Icarus most for this, since I personally really enjoy the flexy feel it has.
Yo, ive watched some of your videos and you invest alot of money into longboarding, you should teach yourself some hands down slides. I bet youd love your boards alot more after you learn any type of slide. Ive been doing downhill for just over a year and there is endless progression once you start
I know it's a symmetrical board, but if you wedged the front and dewedged the back, you'd probably get more responsiveness and stability at different speeds. Makes it turn like a car, great for LDP too. Useless if you're planning to freeride though!
@@MadMaxProductions-sx4hu I would watch that for sure. Even if you don't do a video, I think you'd like it. One thing I've noticed once you do the wedge/dewedge is that is helps to move your rear foot to the middle of the board and adopt a narrower stance... something about putting all the turning up front makes it more stable to ride up front... not sure if that like 100% actually makes any sense, maybe you'd be better at explaining it?
I personally wouldn't really bother with dewedging the rear trucks until you're comfortable going pretty fast with regular lower degree trucks (paris 43°, bear 40°, caliber 44° etc) You can blast a hill at 40mph on non dewedged trucks. I'd say get used to how symmetrical trucks feel at higher speeds before getting into dewedging. Worst case, just tighten the rear trucks more. As long as your bushings aren't bulging, it'll make you more stable.
DH vs LDP perspective differences! I think you have a valid point regarding the dewedge being unecessary in the rear. Also shifting your weight over the front trucks generally helps regardless of setup!

True I am definitely trying but someone had said I may be slowing my progress down by constantly riding a new board which in regards to tricks feels Accurate 😣😖 lol
