Last day with the thunder teams. I have to give them back today. I was thinking of punking him off but im not that guy anymore.
I can go to a Granite curb that's kind of chunky or I could go to the Manny pad or I could go to the waterside cemetery and make a little video of the 10" wide crooked manny pad.
What would you do if you had like 5 or 6 hr left with the trucks you grew up with.
Also aftet like 15hrs of skating I recommend 8.38 deck with the venture 5.6 over the 8.25. I can elaborate after i sesh if anyone cares to know.
Though im skating like shit 14.5 of those hrs.
Elaborate away. I’m thinking about copping some regular venture 5.6 to run on 8.25 - 8.38. So I’m curious to others opinions about it before I try it out.
first off my heel flips are exploding. I can barely keep them under me. Thats not my high popping trick at all.
Truck turns pretty good. Im not in danger of getting run over when im pushing switch down town in traffic.
Like Krux is a danger truck for me. I cannot get those to turn qt all while pushing switch. Ill get run the fuck over.
I had issues at the manny pad again though. My tre is flipping wicked frickin slow 90% of the time. That'd be really really nice if i was jumping down shit.
Impossible is happening again though im landing primo a ton.
Got v heel in all 4s
Im still whiffing fakie tricks.
I have to put like 20 more hrs on these to be back to normal. I did put a new wheel on thats pretty big. Added like 5 to 6 mm
I rode the thunders mostly today. No formula4. Was nice but i kept getting wheel bite. I got 52s? Some random wheel looks like an alien knock.
Has cartoon water drops and reads "the wheel is waterproof" i think.
If i had the proper bushings id like them better. Kid has bones meds in them. He ruined the light blue stock ones in some indys hes riding.
Venture over thunder it looks like rn.
Unless you're on like a 8" down. Then id go with the thunder teams.
I still think ace is the best but i need more time out on the 5.6. And in the street not the park. Maybe after the dentist tomorrow ill be near the flat gap and the long buttery curbs. Maybe ill go see if wonderland is popping. Likely covered in sand.
Oh yeah i did some slappi on a yellow un waxed curb np at stop and shop before and after shopping. Ive het it on the aces. They are loud as fucking hell. Way louder than Indy. Must be the dope looking hangers.
What trucks do you guys think are the best for weak / shitty ankles? I rotate between the big 3 because I like features of each. But my ankle is trash and I am over thinking about it. Currently got Indys but pondering the sweet delicate stability of ventures. Worried that the deep turning of Indy, thunder or ace may allow my weak ankle to roll on sight
i have found looser trucks to be better on my ankles. Land a flip trick funny and it will be more forgiving. If you've found the opposite I would go with a venture low or a krux. Idk if those come low.
The lower you are the easier it is to push. Same with little wheels. Takes less effort to hit max pushing speed.
Ive pretty much always rode loose though my ankles are meh. My knees are cooked thats why i use fp insoles if i can afford them especially in dunks. Every Xmas someone asks me what i want. Insoles guitar strings and hash plz and thanks.
I thought i might be done before i found those during my acl issue.
If getting wheel bite and having to run out is an issue id go ventures hi or why not try grind kings.
