@@timmeey6902 thanks for your words… Enjoy the journey of progression…

@@poisonclarinet I’m Glad you found some info that could be useful to you! Enjoy the progression, of your efforts!

@@maxxwellrolland593 Appreciate your words… thanks.

It’s a journey testing all the wheels, and I grew found of metal mutha (some on eBay) 70mm with 78a duro, because I could anticipate when the wheels were going to break loose, and when sliding there was a grip onto the street from the wheels that made the slide feel very controllable to me. I would say a slide with some resistance that’s Not to Icy…

I’ve never seen anyone try to slow down with applied resistance to any wheels, however with some practice you can use one foot applying pressure on the street in a straight line, and some skilled rollers are good at negotiating with speed while foot braking.

The truck I would choose would have to complement the type of deck I’m using and type of terrain I’m going to roll and what type of wheels I’m also planning on using? So I can give you a tip, if you let me know what type of deck you have, and wheel choice/ size and contact patch, and is the terrain all flat?

@@michellandegent5957 i have zenit az dropped deck with New dad bod orangatang wheel and ill ride on classic road i tought to buy paris truck but idk

@@Daapix You can’t go wrong with Paris trucks… They perform great out of the wrapper and can be dialed in with some legit bushings from Riptide Sports! What you don’t want is trucks that bring the deck down so low, that you end up dragging your heels or toes on the road when carving/ turning, and or trucks that are too narrow giving you wheel bite when carving a turn (wheels needs clearance from deck when carving, or else they bite into deck and rider goes flying away…)

I searched and could only find a version of that deck from Madrid, longboardsusa.com/products/madrid-longneck-giraffe-bamboo-37-longboard

If you contact Muir Skate they can tell you where the location is, since they put this event on. I’ve been obsessed with Mountain Biking for the last few years and relocated so I’m a bit foggy on where this was at other than thinking it was in San Clemente CA, I believe? Traffic was horrid on the 5.

Whatever works! Just keep rolling and slay some good times! I try to mix it up and the challenge of Goofy rolling has been entertaining for me, especially carving Switch…

I'm so excited to get my rayne demonseed LDP board tomorrow, and learn to endurance ride :)@@michellandegent5957

My right push, in response to studying my own goofy, makes me left leg feel like it cannot control the speed at which right wants to go,

Holes don’t need to be angled in the deck. A lot of wedges are made of a flexible material and have some rubber and even the plastic wedges have plenty of give. As for the bolts, you’ll have to go to Ace hardware and figure out what you need. Make sure the length of the bolts to NOT interfere with the the movement of the hanger on the truck. I say this if you find some random hardware at your house and not the correct length. Just twist the trucks after you install wedges and see if there is any contact with the hanger from the truck to the bolts. Same goes for both hangers on the trucks. I always used two different sizes for the wedges. Turning wedges the opposite way will also make the board turn slower and can help in some instances for learning to skate for beginners…

@@michellandegent5957 Thanks Michel for the information and for making the videos :)

The Sector 9 Deck is no longer in production… It was a 9 ply maple deck with a 1” drop. Thinking the inside truck mounts/ holes were 31” apart, and width was about 9 3/4”. I might still have one of these decks for exact measurements if you want them?

Right on… Finding the right bushings is sometimes a journey but worth the effort… I spent a couple of grand collecting bushings with most of those funds going to Riptide Sports Bushings since they have an arsenal of products for most any application. Brad the owner is also a great resource for giving advice when it comes to set up and.performance. He’s been the sponsor and tuner to many of the worlds top tier Racers for all Skateboard Disciplines…

Thanks for your words Bro! Most appreciated and great-full to be encouraged by you! Stay strong in your faith Brother, and prayers to you as well…

Thanks for your words… Glad you saw some value.

Appreciate your words…

Thanks for asking, but I Bailed from California to roll MTB in Bentonville AR.

I’m in the process of moving and my Skateboard goods are packed, but I can say that I’m remembering the hanger being much steeper than my 50 degree downhill trucks, so obviously 90 degree is basically straight up and down/ right angle with level, so somewhere around 70 degrees? 70 degrees would be my approximate guess.

Been awhile since I acquired that Madrid deck, but what I can say is that it’s the slowest carve deck ever… it perfect if you want to be low and want to generally go in a straight line.

@@michellandegent5957 thx man. i just like the look and shape. but yeah, I guess its not the turniest deck over all.

Glad you found some value on what has helped us roll with more control, resulting with good times! Appreciate your words and stay safe by not pushing your limits until your skill progresses…

Appreciate your words and Glad you found some of our advice useful! Keep on rolling good times without pushing yourself to far and your progression is sure to follow! Good luck!

Glad you were able to find some value in the clips. Appreciate your words! And heads up on the road surfaces your rolling, and keep having fun, and your sure to progress… I never thought I’d be able to ride switch, but after years it clicked, so be patient… Good luck Bro.

Thanks for your comment, and glad you could appreciate it… Be safe and keep rolling with good times!

I looked at both your choices and would choose neither for commuting regardless of the terrain, especially with your weak knee. In my opinion and with the experience of rolling for years, I’d pick a double drop deck. Nothing extreme since having too much drop will have you scraping both your toes and heals when carving. When I say double drop, I’m referring to trucks going thru deck and the deck actually transitioning lower in the middle by about an inch. 76mm wheels is probably the biggest you want to go, since they are a good all around size for control/ speed/ carving.

@@michellandegent5957 thank you so much for the info do you have any recommendation for boards like yr description

@@marwaismael6362 I think Landyachtz makes a good product, and think this set up would work well for you; landyachtz.com/products/switchblade-40-chief-night

@@marwaismael6362 the set up I sent you is outta stock at landyachtz but I’ve seen it elsewhere, however I’ve attached another link, that’s the same set up in a different color that’s in stock. landyachtz.com/products/switchblade-40-black-pinecone When I went back to the link, it again said out of stock. So just shop for either of these two and you should be fine…

@@michellandegent5957 thank you so much you are such a wonderful person i have been searching for over two weeks!god bless you

Thanks for your words Bro, and just keep having fun while practicing what you learn, and you’ll be owning them streets!

I’ve moved from San Diego, to Big Bear Lake… otherwise I could help you. And honestly if your up here in Big Bear, I have some decks that I’ve repaired that need sanding, that I would give one to you. I’ve been into hitting up Summit doing Down Hill mountain biking, and this winter going to transition into snow skate. HMU if your up here.

Glad you could appreciate it! Thanks for your words…

Hope your words motivate someone to run with it…. I enjoyed my time on the scene… But one thing in life that you can always count on, is that things change. I’ve moved to Big Bear Lake and have been doing Down Hill on MTB at Summit, and this summer I’m transitioning from Skiing to Snow Skate on the mountain!

Haven’t tried the V3’s but trying out the V2’s at 43 degrees was less than impressive compared to a Randal 43 degree in the back. Important to remember is that you want the deck to sit level, otherwise Carving smooth and stability becomes an issue. Personally I would invest in some Riptide bushings with whatever trucks your using. I like Arsenal trucks since they aren’t too tall, but most trucks can be set up sweet, with the proper bushings. I should add that the Randal 43 worked sweet, with a Chubby bushing and WFB bushing from Riptide with A 88 Duro, for both with my weight and style I rode at a 190lbs. You just have to experiment to see what you like. It’s an investment, that has an awesome reward if you just drop a few dollars and test. Good luck.

@@michellandegent5957 I just watched your other video about modifying a longboard where you talk about the width of the hanger affecting whether or not a truck is good for drop through mounting. It's at 13:30 in that video. Would the Randal trucks be good for that? A 50 in the front and a 43 in the back. Thanks for these videos :)

Switch, Mongo, Goofy, it’s all good!

Thanks for asking, but I’ve been liquidating what I don’t roll with. If your in Big Bear Lake CA, I have some personal inventory I could spare, however shipping anything isn’t something I am willing to do.

Thanks for your words… and still rolling on the down hill!

@@michellandegent5957 I just started longboarding a couple of weeks ago and I'll be 45 on Friday. Got a lot to learn but I keep chipping away

@@rogerharvey9863 If it’s fun for ya… then your progression will continue! I started on a Ripstick when I was 50 and loved the challenge and the motion…. progressed from that to try multiple longboards and formats, which led to sliding the streets… And the challenge of skating Park appealed to me, so I found some flow being a skate park surfer! Tricks are for the kids, so I keep the wheels on the ground and blast around! I feel like it’s an investment of a skill set that will always pay dividends of good times!

I would like to say NOT… But your background is what counts, like have you been active? Running, Surfing, Backpacking, trail running, rock climbing, mountain biking, bmx, ball sports, etc… So if you can answer yes to any of that, you should be good! I’m 62 now and Rip MTB at the Downhill Park at Snow Summit multiple times a week… Its a lifestyle, and it’s the same with rolling Longboards… Which I still enjoy doing. Good Luck!

Being that it’s a top mount truck attachment it’s possible, but my guess after looking at the deck is that a slight mod will be necessary. The deck is 10 ply maple so I see no problem using a portable belt sander to hog out the area which would cause wheel bite. The 107’s will make the deck ride high and carving on the EVO is already challenged with how they angle the nose of the deck. Get some fast 76mm like Black ops from Seismic and you’ll have all the speed you need! Besides all that, if you can make the 107’s fit, good luck doing a brake check with those beasty wheels haha.

@@michellandegent5957 thank you for the response, I’ll look into the 76mm black ops. Your videos have been really helpful for giving me an idea of what I want in my board. Best of wishes for the future

Appreciate your words…

Right on! And Thanks for the shout out! Hope all is going well with you and that your still shredding the streets! I bought a house up in Big Bear Lake and still visit my Dad in San Diego on Diane Ave. If your ever up in BBL look me up on Facebook and message me, if you hit the mountain bike park up. Monday -Thursday and there’s no lift line… I’m still rolling but with the Park being open, I’m stoked on ripping the trails… Keep on rolling friend!
