No, SenioRs don't because they hit the headtube. Tilts should be fine I think though, Feenstra rides a district. I don't ride Tilt forks though cause I'm broke and ride a lucky I won at a comp last year haha.

True. This is probably a really dumb question, but i thought they didn't fit on district decks?

nah dude your fine they say that about phoenix forks also, but youll be good the reason tilts arent meant for district decks is because the headtube is so damn big and the tilts and phoenix forks are like an inch smaller then other forks but i ran one and its fine just dont run any spacers

Find some bars from homies....I ran old shoes for a while and was out for like two weeks with a fracture in my foot. I never had a fall or anything, it was literally just over time straining my foot and fucked it up really bad. You live in SD there is no way you can't find an extra pair of bars someone would be willing to give you/sell for cheap. Same goes with shoes most skate shops have sale sections where they only have 2-3 sizes left of a shoe so they sell them for cheaper. I'm in the same boat dude my last 3 pairs of bars were all given to me haha

Fuck yes! Finally there's someone who I can get some 26 phoenix bars from.
But what wheels to buy? Don't know if it's worth to wait for the tilt wheels?

Reventon 4.65 or Urbanartt v1? really torn now
Click to expand...
apparently the urbanartt vOne doesnt last that long according to what ive heard, so i'd reckon a reventon would last a lot longer

but i havent tried an urbanartt deck, only a phoenix BUT the 4.25 and they feel alright, not sure what 4.65 feels like tho

i'd go with the reventon

So my sig Gripper is on its way out, I can pull the urethane away from the core and see through it at one point on the wheel. Any replacement recommendations for once it dies? I like softer urethane like grippers, but on a wheel that will last more than 4 months.

Sen you live on the east coast. Your shit is gonna get wrecked no matter what. Usually Proto sliders last me about 6 months of riding. I'd say get more grippers or some River Glides. There really isn't anything more durable at the moment.

if you happen to get grippers again, ride one of the new wheels on the front for like 2-3 weeks (sounds like a bit but yeah), then swap that wheel to the back and put the other new wheel to the front. this i think breaks them in and makes them a ton stronger/durable.

dunno if anyone would be bothered to do it tho lol

Yeah I'm starting to come to that realization. I had sliders for over a year but they got really small and I wanted something softer. I'll probably get another gripper and stick it in front like Alex said.

I'm getting about $120-$150 this weekend. Should I buy a V2-I now or save some money and buy another threshold?

if you have a tilt legacy then you should get whatever deck besides the V2-I but I'd save the money and go for a tresh or maybe even an ethic
