Hey Layton I was wondering why my smooth star was so stiff because I have had it for a year and a half and I ride it a lot but it still doesn’t have that loose feeling so it basically feels a little bit turns but I’m not having a lot of fun on it like I thought I would because it’s just so stiff so I was wondering if you new how to make it less stiff I love your channel mate so keep it up YEW🤙🏻
Yew! Thanks for the support I appreciate it! You can loosen the spring on the thruster with the Allen Key that came with the board. That should make the thruster feel looser. If you turn the board upside down, on the thruster there will be a black spring under the bolt, use your Allen key that came with the board to turn this to make it looser 🤙🏽
@@YeWLayton thanks mate🤙🏻
Hi i have one question. When you get a new Smoothstar do you loose the spring a bit in the beginning? thanks, keep it up
Yo! Nah I just leave it as is - I find the more I ride it, the looser it gets over time. I do get asked this question a lot though when people get their first smoothstars . When beginning the board generally seems not to respond the way you want it to or how you see how people ride it, so tightening/loosening the trucks isn’t gonna make all that much of a difference. This being, because most beginners are obviously still learning and quite haven’t mastered that rail to rail movement that helps propel the board along.
Generally what I see with most people with starting out, they wiggle their hips a lot to generate forward momentum and this doesn’t really generate that drive.
So when trying to generate speed, think of compression and extension. As you compress, bend your knees and lean into the board on your heel side, and as you come up for the extension, extend your body up and lean onto the rail on your toe side, as you do this bring your arms to help with the extension and forward momentum - Then just repeat to start generating speed. Try to exaggerate this movement a lot for your first couple of goes to really get Sense of what the Board is doing when you do shift your weight rail to trail - then from there tone it back.
You’ll find the more you get comfortable with shifting your weight rail to rail, the more responsive the board will feel. It just takes a bit to find your balance and getting comfortable with shifting your weight from one side to the other without worrying about falling off.
Once you've got a pretty good feel on this, the board should feel more fluid. Hope this helps YEW!
@@YeWLayton wow thank you so much for your detailed answer! I will focus on it and keep praciticing! keep it up with the great content yewww
Hey Layton, I have a quick question.. I already have a 31" Carver C7, but I'm going to get a Smoothstar cause they say it's better for surf training purposes. Do you recommend getting a 31" board or a 33" board?
Yo! Yeah smoothstars definitely mimic that surfing feeling a lot better than other surfskates in my opinion, so they're really good for surf training. It depends on your height. If you're between 5'5"-5'8" the 31 would probably be better, but if you're between 5'8"-5'10" then I'd go the 33". Id recommend getting a board with the new THD thruster - it has 15-20% more hold and drive and its just that touch smoother than the thruster 1. Hope this helps YEW!
@@YeWLayton Amazing! Didn’t know the new THD thruster made a difference. Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing work🤙🏄♂️🛹
Are you doing some special diet to stay lean?
I don't count macros or anything like that, I watch what I eat and I'm pretty dialed in with how much I can consume to stay lean and still have energy to perform. I usually try to limit my carb intake after lunch and I also train 2-3 hours everyday incorporating both weight lifting and cardio.
