In this video, I set up a brand new WKND skateboard deck and discuss why my setup is what it is now. I am riding Thunder Light trucks, Classic Spitfire formula 4 wheels, and Shake Junt bearings.

so confidently was I wrong about BBS, WKND is PS Stix, first non-BBS deck I’ve had in 2 years, skates great.

@sean92smith 9 месяцев назад

Your Quasi decks have probably been PS Stix... Some of their shapes are BBS like their twin tails, but most are PS.

@Ryoubreathingnow 9 месяцев назад

use the wheels on your trucks to roll that grip tape to the board hommie.

@@MattDiGi lol it's the best one in Mexico. I guess BBS is going to be using production in China for the price point boards and non pro models.

@TRAVIESO_NA 9 месяцев назад

@@boogie.. bbs. I dont like even the decks made in mexico, something about the pop. Not a fan of the wood. Ps sticks feels like a real skateboard to me. But its preference because I didnt realize till recently all the brands I skated growing up Ps sticks made.

board looks dope!

After i peel the paper off my grip i hit the sticky side with my heat gun. Make the grip more flexable and it sticks like crazy to my board. For any of you who live in, and or grip your boards in colder climates and notice bubbles or peeling tbe heatgun tricks prevents that completely.

@adrenalinestairz5068 5 месяцев назад

I love skating with independant trucks and spitfire formula four wheels 54mm with 99a. I also have bullet trucks which are pretty good.

@krispyk.1786 5 месяцев назад

Indy trucks are such perfection- hard or soft bushings! They just feel good!

@jonstevens7032 2 месяца назад

After you cut away the grip, I always file it off again, I dunno why but I find it feels a bit better to get rid of that bit of excess.

@llamalad1295 9 месяцев назад

Can you do a backside flip tutorial or maybe bigspin???

@_Maxten 8 месяцев назад

Ive never seen anyone snap their rails with their deck before. Usually the rails just get ripped off not in half

@SDPTheGhost 9 месяцев назад

I wanted to try thunders because of how light they are and how good the turning is, but they’re pretty short compared to Indy’s and I always get wheelbite cause I’m fat 😂 But maybe I’ll get risers and try em one day

@MattDiGi 9 месяцев назад

The Team Thunders are slightly higher than the regular ones

@SDPTheGhost 9 месяцев назад

@@MattDiGi Oh okay! I didn’t know that haha

@krisdt25 9 месяцев назад

The thinner (forged) baseplates are definitely stronger than the thick (team) ones which are cast because of their molecular structure.

@sungameloc 7 месяцев назад

@@MattDiGi Team thunders are the standard thunders

@krispyk.1786 5 месяцев назад

@@krisdt25indeed, but the grind on the baseplate (if you have tiny wheels) isn’t as good because the metal is denser and harder :1 SUPER NICHE preference- but that’s just my experience

@tabouletgehdofous3028 Месяц назад

Hey what’s your truck’s size ?

@bgoutdoors802 9 месяцев назад

Idk if you ever rode it but your next setup you should try pepper grip. It's like right in the middle of mob and Jessup. It's that perfect grip that won't eat your shoes in a week but still feels super nice when flicking

@TheHoodBillNye 9 месяцев назад

The stick doesn’t last long tho if you skate around a lot of dust and dirt

@crimnvL 9 месяцев назад

i also changed to thunders

@lonelyboysole 9 месяцев назад

I think royals are better than aces for ledges.. I had a set of gold aces for a few months wasnt even down to the king pin yet an I hit a ledge an caught on the smooth waxy ledge an it CRACKED have no idea how I thought I hit a chip on the ledge or something but it was still smooth but the truck was cracked 😂 I put on my old back up royals that's damn near the king pin hit the ledge saucy.. I only ride Indys or royals now days everytime I try something new it goes bad like with the aces 😅

Hey Matt: My 11yr old is a beginner with 6 months experience. He has been using chocolate 8.25 ricta 92d wheels and royal trucks. He asked for a new setup for xmas and I bought this: Quasi 8.0 fast car 2 deck Independent Silver Stake 11 139s G3 Bronson Bearings Spitfire 54mm formula 4s 1/8 Independent risers My question; did I do well buying the risers ?

@yesmaybe630 5 месяцев назад

No risers

@chhris1902 4 месяца назад

Risers might make the board too tall since Indy’s are relatively tall trucks but he might like the feel of a really tall board so you can add them or take them off depending on how he feels. You might also need to get longer hardware of your hardware is too short to fit the risers

Do you recommend wearing a helmet when you start out skating?

@norgepalm7315 9 месяцев назад

@bretwhitten7038 8 месяцев назад

when you start out definitely. you don’t want brain damage from simply rolling on your board, save that for the 10 stairs

@krispyk.1786 5 месяцев назад

Yes. Get pads even. It will save you money on bandages and ER visits. Just stick a shibble load of stickers on your helmet to make yourself feel extra cool :)

@pyrimid 2 месяца назад

Ooooph. You are part of that 2% crew(in your way). Don’t jump into the boring dark side. It takes time but it shows its teeth one day when you’re much older. Some need that journey… My advice: Do you first, always. I heard GF and full time and threw up in my mouth a little. My experience and the most or all I’ve witness…. A real bummer but also teachable moments.

I run Thunder 148s with thin (forgot measurements) risers, I was getting hella wheel bite especially since I ride looser trucks and roll on OJ key frame Plain Jane wheels. I think ima stick with Shake Junt grip, mob ruins my shoes and my fingers too fast. I ride mainly for filming and skating transition, just started getting into street skating so ima need to get some harder wheels. What wheels should I get?
