    Hi! Can you guys do a video JUST on skate anatomy? I get so mixed up and confused with learning about the different parts of my skates. Just a video dissecting and just talking about the basic parts of a skate and what they do would be AH-mazing. Thanks!

    Good day Evelyn : My name is John , I'm a a 40 yr aircraft technician/inspector from Toronto , in Canada . I really enjoyed the technical aspect of your video , You're a good speaker ! You spoke of the specific gravity of the materials , and then tapped them on the table . All of the viewers could hear the sound ! Very good method ! That's a very good applicable demonstration of material density . At about time 15:35 onward you spoke of tightening the screws . To tighten screws and know how tight they are ....... If it's your interest , you can make all your screws equal tightness ! No Problem ! ; by using a tool called a "Torque Wrench" . I think you would really like it ! I don't want to confuse you , I like you , and have watched your video a few times now , it's really good ! A torque wrench is a really a neet tool to use ! This tool reads in "Inch Pounds" or "Foot Pounds" . It tells you exactly how tight things are .
    I think you would really like one ! bye bye from Toronto ! I have confidence in you ! ! !

    if you can’t get reactor magic cushions.... the Suregrip cushions will work you just need to buy 4 cones and 4 barrels in whichever hardness you want, You can also mix it up and use for example a medium barrel and soft cone on your trucks. Hope this helps :) Over here in Australia it’s really hard to get the magic cushions as there has been no stock due to covid.

I couldn’t believe how much easier it was to turn on the impalas even though the ride wasn’t NEARLY as smooth as the beach bunnies. I went to adjust my trucks even looser on the beach bunnies but that made them almost fall off and there was no more than a minor improvement... I just realized it’s the cushions!

    The power dyne universal set barrel is shorter than the stock barrel that comes on the Panther, by at least 2mm. I 'stacked' the old retainer and the new retainer to achieve the same height, otherwise the truck won't land 'flat' on the upper barrel, which is probably not a great idea.

To fix this, stack a thrust bearing under the truck assembly to lift it back up to the correct height.' According to the Dept of Skate website..

    You got sensitive knees and own some Beach Bunny, Panthers, or Jungle skates? This video will give you that solution!
    If you find yourself really enjoying the skate park, smaller wheels might bring back the kingpin scraping, don’t worry, once you add a slide block this will solve your issue at the skate park. If you do not see yourself skating at parks this solution will work WONDERS for your distance skating!😍

    What stiffness are the stock beach bunny cushions?
    Additionally, the reactor kit comes with 4 universal and 4 step top. Will having all 8 universal cushions really help with the grinding of the king pins on the pavement if it doesn't affect the distance of the truck in relation to the boot if we do end up using the reactor kit? I'm asking because the universal magic cushion is 3mm shorter than the stock barrel beach bunny cushion.

    • @EvelynIvyy
      @EvelynIvyy 3 года назад +1

      As long as you do not over tighten the cushion, the universal magic cushions will help with the kingpin from hanging so low, another alternate is simply shaving down the kingpin if it's truly still bothering you, as long as your nut can securely lock onto the kingpin you should be okay! :)

      You can use the beach bunny wheel but I wouldn’t recommend it, the beach bunny wheel does not have a hub and adding weight can sometimes add pressure to the bearings causing a squeaking sound if you hear that, it’s not you it’s the wheels, they are great to get you going but if you are looking for a dependable hybrid wheel, the fundae is my most favorite especially because of the convenience!(:

      Yes! It might be your wheels, the wheels on the beach bunnies don’t have a hub core if you upgrade to outdoor wheels or one of my favorites wheels the Fundaes! That can solve the issue! Then you can even use the bearings from the beach bunnies on your new wheels!(:

      The default cushions that come with the skates are one barrel and a cone cushion on top
      Since a conical cushion has a smaller top radius than its bottom radius the retainer needs to be smaller than the barrel cushion retainer

      Honestly, if you like skating paths like beaches or bike paths invest in a gummy outdoor wheel and you can avoid this completely. Usually if you have the smaller wheel and you go to the skate park where they have banks, that’s when you’ll run into this scraping issue(:

      Cusions act as the shock absorbers in the skate set up. If you take out your cushions and give em a squeeze, you should feel some give. And based on your preference, weight, or how you'd prefer you skate to respond to you, you choose which cushions to replace and where. I hope this helps a bit!
