Thanks for the tips! I was wondering if you could clarify, you mentioned that wheel bite is something you’ll get if you’re going slower; does wheel bite not happen at higher speeds? If not, why?
Awesome Video! May I ask a quick question? I have a cheaper Amazon board which serves it's purpose well, drop-through, quite stiff, but doesn't have any shock absorbers/risers and therefore I get cramps in my feet on rough asphalt - wanted to get some shock absorbers but those especially designed for drop-through mounting seem to be more expensive than normal risers - should I just get normal risers and cut them properly or is there actually a reason for having to pay more coin for less rubber?
Yo! Honestly, risers are overrated for shock absorption. I'd recommend, bigger softer wheels and after market bushings. Softer wheels will absorb that road vibration, and the larger wheels will roll smoother over rougher roads/road imperfections. After market bushings suited to your weight will allow your trucks to not react to every bit of roughness
If you do all that then adding a slop stopper / insert (you can make out of a bushing) will negate a lot of the feedback your trucks give you, the kind you don't want. After market pivot cups like riptide I'm sure will also help. If you haven't swapped the wheels tho or anything he listed then ignore this

I've wante to turn on my longboard for a long time. However, I found it to embarrassing to ask anyone "where is the switch?"o.0
Ty
haha
I found turning on a longboard extremely hard and I've skated on a skateboard for years
Robisz jeden z najbardziej rzeczowych i konkretnych programów. Twoje filmy są zwarte i przejżyste. Trzymam kciuki w górę!
i have a drop through longboard and its a bit stiff to make 90 degree pivots because of no kick tail. any suggestions?
Carb harder (?)
I've been (popsicle) skating for so long, and still try to tik-tak my new longboard sometimes. I'm in the same spot
Same problem here
Thanks for the tips! I was wondering if you could clarify, you mentioned that wheel bite is something you’ll get if you’re going slower; does wheel bite not happen at higher speeds? If not, why?
you don't turn/lean as hard at high speeds. You don't really use all of the available lean
@@downhill254skate Ah, that makes sense. Thanks again, I subscribed 🙂
That was EXTREMELY helpful! Why has noone else mentioned keeping the back truck tighter than the front?!
Fantastic, learnt a lot from that short video. Many thanks

I have a question I have a Paradise surfboard shape skateboard how do I prep it for downhill? Or is it already prepped?
Probably not. You should buy a downhill specific board if you want to do downhill
@@downhill254skate I'm thinking about going with a Magneto Tesla downhill longboard thank you for your input my friend
@@tirasweatherford3077 not s good board to get. It's cheap and not worth it
Great tips.
Glad you think so!
