Marc Escoda at 118 km/h and Adrià Arquimbau on the lens. Our riders were in the Alps few weeks ago, and they filmed a lot of RawRuns. This is one of a kind. Enjoy!
I've only just discovered these videos and can't stop watching them. You gotta have nerves of steel to ride at this speed in just a T-shirt and jeans. I know these guys are pros but damn, that is insane! And the locations you guy/gals pick are incredible. Sick run Marc..thanks for bringing us along. Be safe y'all. o7
I prefer to hear the noise of the board and the road, I think the music volume was too high so at least merge it in the background. Thumb up and cheers.
My guess it a longer board and tighter trucks, maybe even wider trucks. Both will greatly improve the center of mass between you in the both while also reducing your ability to turn. Which in theory will raise that thresh hold that you get wobbles. Learning to stand properly on the board will also help. From my experience, standing on the front with you front truck helps to check better contact with the road surface. Of course standing with it further back would do the opposite.
Ed Griffith thank you very much for your answer. i have a 39.3' x 9.5' board, wheel base 29.3'. it's paired with back bear grizzly trucks 180mm, 82A bushings and with 71mm 83A wheels. its a long island longboards longboard. i know this is beginner, but still. what about tightening trucks? edit: the deck is drop through.
Andreas Lenac get harder bushings, unless you way like 90 pounds, 82a are for low speeds or freeriding harder bushings like 90a 92a is the go to for most, some go even harder if your over 160-180 pounds... also yes tighten your trucks if they feel to turntable or divey, then tighten the back truck about a quarter or half turn more than the front to keep the back more stable than the front this also helps with speed wobbles, and lastly when riding 90% of the time you'll want to distribute more weight on the front of the board than back like a 60-65%font foot/40-35%back this can vary due to the elements but a good rule of thumb, the wobbles always seem to start in the back
Learn how to tuck like you see him doing in the video. Putting as much body weight on the front truck as you can will eliminate a lot of wobbles. Also dont tighten your trucks just find harder bushings. Your bushings will wear out quicker since they are compressed a lot if they are too soft.
well, you try to slide over the ground as best as you can, probably you´ll fuck up your knees thats why i only go fast with kne pads... YOu know that sierra nevada bail from james kelly? Well fuck yes you do he probably wouldn´t have a scratch on his knees if he wore them. ("Burn it down" if you dont know it)
Just so you know there is a very high chance he is gearing g-forms or another form of protections underneath his pants. I ride them and they are not noticeable at all. The only issue is that they protect against hard slams but not the best to slide on.
Can you guys do a feature with gravitydogz one day , check their Chanel i think they are on a level similar to you or a higher not sure bt wuld be cool comp
fools. that is no where near 100+ km/h are u saying his clothes would flop around at 80km/H ? lmao he is almost standing up. no way thats almost 120km/h
