- Hi. Really great session because I remained calm around cars and no holes in my Ucraft climbing pants. Haha. I still wear my hip pad underneath.
Amazed how I have adjusted to loose trucks and enjoying the setup of my non-symmetrical @cometskateboards Phoenix. The Blood orange wheels are awesome, too. Finally feeling a bit of groove and consistency.
See you next video.

Good shit man keep at it!
Nice love it
Hell yea Jon! You're kicking ass/ taking names! Definitely make sure when getting into more speed, those trucks are a lot tighter! 😅
Thank you. 🤘 Yes, definitely will be tightening trucks properly. 🤙

Zen-state while downhilling unlocked. Nice!
Side note, I feel like your trucks are now TOO loose. lol
A little preload helps to add rebound, which helps for the hooking back up and regripping up part after a slide.
Optimal bushing preload can be obtained as follows:
1. Tighten kingpin to the point where the roadside washer/bushing cannot be spun by hand anymore. Do the same for both front and rear trucks.
2. Go do some very hard pumps to try and loosen the whole thing through usage. One minute of continuous hard pumping should do the trick.
3. If the setup loosens up, repeat Step 1 and 2. If not, continue to Step 4.
4. Add the amount of preload you want - making sure that they're the same for both trucks. The optimal preload range can vary (by personal preference) from a quarter turn to a whole full turn. However, personally, I always go for half a turn because it's just a happy medium that is also easy to remember.
5. Go skate!
6. After you finish a skate sesh, recheck the spinnability of the roadside washer/bushing. If they are spinnable again, repeat from Step 1. However(!!!), this really shouldn't happen at all, since the preload will be the locking mechanism to keep everything nice and tight regardless of how much usage you put in. The only likely cause for the setup to ever become loose again on its own is a failing or near-failing kingpin nut's nylock.
Thank you for exceptional detail. I typically don’t check this - only once before and after session. Will follow the steps next session. 🤙
This is really good advice wow
@@trygvenelson9740 thx, man!
Fantastic progress. Next things to think about: At your current speed you wont be able to bring the board back around and under you. If you want to learn a full Coleman that is the next piece. Incorporate some stretching in to make your hip/ankle flexibility better. This will help with squatting on your board, and that is why your back leg is up in the air and not flat on the board in your slide. You have a two handed toeside, try a one handed toeside. This will help to wear your wheels more evenly and it also starts the toeside pendy journey.
Great progress. What helped me to stay deeper and over the board was grapping the rail over your backleg. Keep on shredding.
I agree and i'd add my tip : try to keep your back knee touching your front leg at any point. You don't need to have your back foot sole fully touching your grip when squatting. Just use the inner edge of your shoe. It'll help you push your board forward without weighting on your back wheels and also it'll be easier to move your weight to the front of your board easily (no needs to be flex like a kid!)
Thank you. Makes sense on speed, hip/ankle mobility, and two handed toe side. Will work on next session.
Thank you. Getting more comfy in the position and believe I won’t grab rail in desperation, but supplement control.
Thanks. Like this focus of inner edge of sole and not entirely on flexibility. Will work next session.
Respectfully to the other comments about the trucks now being too loose, my experience is that it is better to have very loose trucks at start because it forces you to build muscle memory and strength to control the board from the get-go. And there is no more, no less mental learning curve to learning on twitchy, compared to stiff, trucks. And if you start with twitchy trucks, you don't then have to learn that in addition, after you have learned to somewhat-control the board with stiff trucks. And conversely... if you master loose trucks first, you can regress back to stiff trucks as you progress to more demanding speed challenges. Lastly... the above is premised on wearing full head, body and limb protection from the start, as yeah.. you're gonna fall off more with twitchy trucks.
Thank you and agree to all the points, too. I started off with too tight trucks/bushings then found Carver Surfskate which were crazy loose, but learned quickly. I’m keeping all these great suggestions in mind and using each practice as a testing ground. I do feel more confident and agree about the muscle memory/confidence of skill with loose trucks. I always wear full gear when I’m planning to have committed learning/training.
What trucks and bushings you using? Colemans are looking good and like your thoughts on starting with loose trucks. Someone mentioned having the trucks tight enough so the washer wont spin which is what ive always heard and do. Just like to go with softer bushings to keep them loose, although im sure you already know about bushings
Caliber 3 trucks 157 mm and Venom purple 87a/87a. Yes, planning to tighten to that standard. Will testing this weekend and posting next week. Thanks for commenting.
Trucks WAY to loose! Accident waiting to happen! The washer needs to be at least tight enough that it can't spin. Tighten them up and try softer bushings
Thought it was too, but thanks for verifying.
