What is LDP/Long Distance Skateboarding? & Channel introduction 🍕 

Thanks! I have been following your channel since the days of surfskate truck comparisons and the quality has always been very high, so I'm honored to receive this comment! And @Concrete-waves definitely motivated me to start my channel as well as the older Ldp channels that seem to be not uploading anymore... So thank you again and happy that you liked it! 😊

@@LDPizza Wow i'm honored to hear that! Thanks for the kind words 🙏

Thank you! 😊

Thanks! And right guess, it's an MK Space truck, and now the unboxing video is out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H-IDqpsMxnI.htmlsi=vs70FNJT0e10PZb- And... can you guess the second package too? It's still a front truck, but more... integrated!

Thanks 😁 glad to help!

Thanks 😊

No problems 😊 both work well but here is my expericence: with a front tkp like a bennet, torsion tails are best, therefore ttx; with a rkp like paris, bear or poppy, both work: ttx is best for a mix of pushing (gives more stability) and pumping when you reach higher speeds; DT Delirum (or if you are in EU, I suggest the Exile Insania) gives a little less stability pushing but for pure pumping, even at medium speed, is more fluid. If you get the ttx, get also the bushing kit, it's torally worth it!

@@LDPizza Thank you soooooooo much!!! You 100000% solved my doubt! I'm definitely more into a mixed style and with a slight preference for pushing, so the ttx sounds very promising 😁 Thanks a million again and sorry for the out of topic!!!

Feel free to ask anything on any of my videos, it's all good inputs for the yt algorithm! 😁

Well, I also like my LY Ripper that checks all that... and you probably like the acceleration from small wheels, but I think that something like a Pranayama with Speedvents or Ember with Blastwaves could fit your likings too ;)

@@LDPizza Currently I have a dipper set up with small Paris trucks 129 and 70mm Carver Roundhouse Wheels that is comparable but set up to pump and push that is bliss but a pain to carry/stow, a drop through with Paris 50/43 180s, a drop down that I just can't get comfortable on as V.flexy AND short = bows (wedge angle changing) platform in ways I can't predict. Seismic are a pretty steep cost like Orangatang has become round these parts and Blood Orange, Cult, even Hamboards MUCH cheaper same size or larger options with great experiences so far. Weird thing as I developed 63mm Hawgs or 66mm Hamboard or PP Snake wheels even 58mm "filmer" wheels (any brand) now go over everything, are as fast as most cyclists, and 10km is easy WITH less weight, easier carry/throw down/pick up, ability to ollie over emergencies and still able to slide stop. One of my first boards was a 29" Z-flex that with a wheel upgrade and wedges does it all but it took SO long to appreciate it (same with the much later LY Dinghy). Think I would have got to that point with less cost, less time, and less uncontrolled speed injuries if I had just put up with some scratches, wounded pride, and "feeling the burn" instead of trying to buy away the need for those with easier platforms only it took ~3 years/5 days a week of slower scratches, wounded pride, and "feeling the burn" anyway. The boards you mention are 'perfect' commuters in some regards, but my equivalents jibbed me on the basics of skating while also making me more likely to roll when I shouldn't or/and hit speeds (and situations) my body/skills weren't ready for/avoid without issues.

@@insanogeddon makes sense; I commute on a Trip with Kegels because they are not too fast 😅 but however, with smaller wheels and cruiser I don't have the best luck and fell way more than on Ldp setups with 90+mm wheels. But I don't have a street skating background and I live in super flat city, it surely affects my taste. I also mentioned Seismics for their lightness (and now Karmas too), but I rarely use mine for road quality, preferring Boas or McFlys

@@LDPizza I had the same experience but over time somehow the smaller wheels started just working. It is like rolling over things you never thought you could, or cornering sharper than you could, breaking faster etc Perhaps skill grows or muscles adapt no idea but it seems more like and attitude shift 'I think I can' and no worries. Hell there was a time even with big wheels I was wary of plastic grip on crossings. Having said that I just know I am going to body by the end of the week .. it is SO much a mind thing. Dam all those wheels look good but they're bl@@dy 200 to 300 a set here from Mcfly, Karma to the Boas. Beggars can't be choosers ; p
