Put the C7 on a proper surfskate deck. Cruiser style with a wheel base between 16-18" and about 9.5" wide. Loosen spring bolt to about half tension and loosen rear kingpin so rear wheel lift in turns stops. You will get much better results. Thanks for the video!
What's your recommendation for a beginner. I have access to purchase below 2 adapters, depending on the budget and place where i live. 1. Yow V4 with S4 springs, which is recommended for
It’s a tough choice really depends on money. If you have an existing board and wanna try it cheap go waterborne. If you don’t have a board Yow is the way to go
"sometimes outside rear wheel lifts in a turn" : yes, it's good. Tilting a surfskate is like tilting the board. Facilitates slide when outside rear wheels lifts in a turn. Swelltech too.
I just bought standard trucks off Amazon. Nothing special. Surfskates are quite a bit taller than a regular skate board. You get used to it. VJ 5.25 Skateboard Truck (139mm), Skateboard Wheels, Skateboard Bearings, Skateboard Riser Pads, Skateboard Screws a.co/d/fRRUj8w
Yeah my friend has a true carver board which I can include in a future video. It does do much better, this was my first board I bought so it's all I have for the c7. The carvers trucks just don't have anywhere near the extreme turning angles of the Yow or Waterborne. Now I have a surf tech and that's a whole new level.
As others have said; putting c7 trucks on a regular street deck doesn’t make it a Carver. It’s not performing for you because it’s just not set up right! A wider surf shape board with proper sidewalls and pointy nose will generate a lot more energy and turning power in those trucks. That said, lots of love for that old Santa Cruz and you should throw some independents on it and find an empty pool to rip!!
@@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo I think the biggest difference is going to come from the wider deck shape that will allow you to crank on the rails harder but the small nose might help keep weight down while giving more distance between the trucks. The smaller nose might not have a huge effect on the turn but will keep the board from feeling too front heavy. I’ve actually played with a more new school pill shaped board with these carver trucks and could carve it but it just didn’t feel quite as surfy to me.
Swelltech is by far the closest to surfing I’ve used yet. Yow is super smooth but it’s more skating and flowing than swell tech. The deck on the swell tech really leans on a turn like nothing else
You don't need to block anything. The faster you go, the more stability it gains. Most of your weight should be on the back truck (maybe 40:60), then you can go really fast and slide or whatever you wanna do. Avoid to go backwards fast. It's really backbreaking ;-)
I’ve got my carvers on a 36 inch Santa Cruz cruiser deck. It stays stable at speed no problem. My mate has put one on a full on long board. It still carves real nice.
