putting an indy hollow baseplate bottom to bottom with a venture cast plate….almost looks like where the holes would be for the koston drill out.
Exactly what I suspected. Just put um back to back and drill um. I might try. Next board I got over 14.24
I get nervous messing with what I think is perfection butbi have mad extra plates as I usually only swap hangers every 6 months or so. .
I'm on a sub 14" wb shape with 5.8s and i just got back from having the session of the year so far.
2024 is going to be all gains again. My nollie powers are making me the happiest on this day. This is the year of nollies I think.
session of the year!!!! i love it. not how my sessions went today, but i loved being outside.
a good nollie….that is actually my go to. new setup? nollie first. something about that trick feels safe. my flatground ollie’s, once my sharpest arrow, now are pretty flappy, out of sorts.
i’ve been messing around with too many different setups, and boards of any shape and size, so i really have very little familiarity. nollie was buggin today.
on topic: i’ve been skating an 8.38 generic generator board, with 6.1s, and 55 dragons. i mean i’ve been skating a lot of shit, too many old parts and pieces. but i’ve kept coming back to this setup.
swapped in 5.6s, with the forged baseplate. didn’t want to do this, because i….am sick of myself tinkering with shit. but while the 6.1s on hills and doing regular ollie’s are mint, those same 6.1s vs my baby-legged treflip attempts have been….shit.
setup felt about the same, less poppy, easier rotation. landed some really really reeeeeeally slow, bad, not decent treflips.
360 flips used to be easier than kickflips. now they most definitely are not.
