straight up. most people have to see these spots to realize how crazy they are. tre lipslide on red rail in DC is bonkers. gazelle flip on Shaw 4 is just mindblowing

I don't do much with skating but the old Girl Yeah Right video is freaking sweet. My brother works at a skate camp during the summer and during rainy days he always shows the kids Yeah Right and Fully Flared.

Ill post my setup tomorrow. So stoked on it.

HeyHey wanna get into skating a bit more i've got 100 what do you guys recommend?

 

[Ian P]

blank deck, bones wheels, i have theeve trucks and like them but i have no idea what trucks are the best only had like two pairs

also who got pretty sweet?

 

[issac p]

7.75 or 8 wide blank deck
thunder trucks. ive had 2 pairs without any problems
the cheapest set of 52mm wheels.
any grip
any hardware
any bearings
and risers are optional. you really dont need them.
im sure you can go to a local shop and get a decent setup with that money. just talk to an employee.

 

[Serapth]

Venture trucks are pretty good, indy's turn a lot sharper though. Thunder sit inbetween the two in my opinion.

 

[Ben Moak]

arent indy's heavy as fuck compared to others though? i had a pair on an old plan b i had when i was like 7 and i remember them being way heavier than the thunders i bought afterwards.

 

[issac p]

indy's are kinda a hit or miss. some of them are really heavy to the point where you can actually feel it, and some are like whatever. i wouldnt risk it.

 

[Ben Moak]

i see
i rode mostly vert/mini pipe so it really didn't bother me

I got pretty sweet. The ender made me sit with my mouth open for like 20 minutes.

 

[Serapth]

Yeah they (indys) weigh loads in comparison to other makes. Venture lows are a safe bet. Tensor are really light but the kingpins are a bit brittle.

 

[RiccardoM]

I saw somesome venture lows for like 27 so I think i'll go for them.

 

[issac p]

i snapped both hangers of my tensor magnesiums. its snapped where the bushings sit though, so it doesnt really do anything. they still work perfectly fine.
i would get ventures or thunders.
