Pretty much, but with a two step.

@@PaulKentSkates Nice!

Thank you! I'll need to look into the belay grease. Seamgrip +Sil is basically a super low viscosity shoe goo and it is much less grippy due to the silicone. I would imagine mineral oil might work well too. Lots of stuff to try!

I honestly think mineral oil is a good treatment for the side of the deck. I have used fife oil which is similar.

Thank you for the feedback, I'll forgive the sub. 🙂 I am slowly working on some pushing content. I'm not sure if I'll be posting it here or on the Pantheon TH-cam channel. I might do both and get more nerdy on my page for people that don't mind sitting through my rambling for a few extra tips.

@@PaulKentSkates thanks man! Would love to see it and will look forward - no problem with the rambling :) What do you think about Karma wheels by the way? I see you're using blue and orange Cags - think I might try that as well...

@@0rdsec I haven't spent as much time on them but for pure pushing I think they may be one of the best. they feel like smaller wheels because they are so light, but they have more feed back because they don't have a ton a urethan, yet the larg diameter for the weight doesn't make it harsh. they are really weird. Much more grippy than you would think they would be. I do prefer the feel of the hokus a little, but I would rather the smaller size since I run my setups pretty tight (axle to foot platform) and it doesn't afford a lot of room.

@@PaulKentSkates thank you so much for the details! I'm really enjoying the Karmas and I agree with what you said about their being very grippy - I'm still very much a noob and I'm afraid of going downhill, but these make me feel really stable while carving and I feel like I can manage more speed just because I feel more in charge. Actually looking at a Hoku setup as well (likely the Supersonic) - just have to sell my eboard first, I'm a lot more into pushing :)

@@0rdsec yeah I recently set some hokus on one of the bamboo super Sonics, I think I have riptide crank bushings in the rear and soft seismic ones up front) on bear trucks and it's so comfy and fast.

I only have a combo of beeswax and coconut oil that I mixed together into chapstick tubes and was hesitant to use that since coconut oil can go rancid. I instead put some mineral oil along the sidewalls of my Trip. Now I'm worried this might affect the wood glue, do you have any idea if it's safe to use?

165mm for Orangatang or downhill inspired wheels. 150mm if you are running Pantheon wheels, 88 Mcflys, or siesmic speed vents

Yeah... it's the wrong name. I've been getting lots of useful suggestions and will correct it in another video. I appreciate it.

The most distracting animal, a squirrel. But a mini Nessie is more fun.

:) You may notice I had one slide glove on, two would have been better The move is a lot safer than it looks.

Oh awesome! Please share your feedback with me.

Whoops this released a solid 8 hours Before I was supposed to. 🤦 Who needs the algorithm anyway amirite?

Potentially for a few reasons. One is that the core is closer to the inside edge. But my thinking was I wanted it to roll as well as possible on pavement also, so I figured more flex would help with that. I did accidentally stud the inside lip of one of the wheels though. 🤦 I placed the wheel in the rear so it would return to center easier. The studs penetrate more the more it slides. So when you begin to slide the resistance increases. It's tricky to get used to.

Thanks for watching Marcelin!

It's the board that had me switch from my previous partner Rayne. (I still ride loaded boards too). I hope you are enjoying them. I'm glad I was able to help.

Definitely would help on rougher uneven ice.

Okay. I'll think about how best to do this.

@@PaulKentSkates yay

Just went out. Rolls great still 👍👍 thanks for advice

Heck yeah. Ireland is a perfect spot to test this method for sure. Thank you for the feedback! I find it can loosen up a tad as well once the grease settles. It also will heat up and act more fluid when going fast too. Good luck!

Oh wow! Yeah. Maybe you should message me on instagram @paskapookid and I can speak to you about it in depth. I believe I averaged 73 miles per day, but that includes days in town. It does not include my (single) day off. (That puts me at 70.5 miles per day) I would try to do 100 miles or slightly more if I was skating a full day. 22 days (I took one complete day off because I got water in my hard drive and all my camera gear).

Sorry I don't understand. It sounds like you are arguing for the use of marine grease. I agree, people should wear gloves. The grease can't really wash off 😂 . But you know how mechanics are with the stuff. I understand it's not that toxic when it's new. Like motor oil it's not toxic until it gets contaminated. The gas on the other hand should be avoided. The benzene in the gas will make the air in your home a carcinogen. As for the rest of what you wrote, I don't try to remove water. The grease, if applied to un-lubricated steel creates a film that prevents water from contacting the steel. I don't change the lubrication. But you can add marine grease to a lubricated bearing and expect it to work. I honestly do this one time and ride my bearings for years without re-applying lubricant. Then I replace the bearings. But some may want to refresh their bearings. My system has been tested and been through some of the worst conditions anyone has subjected their bearings to. I apologize if that's not what you are trying to say. I figure I may be way off mark.

Oh I think I get what you are saying. Yeah displacement can prolong the life of your bearings without having to do this crazy method. But I won't carry the extra grease on my extended trips. All the little things add up and my pack will get too heavy.

@PaulKentSkates no yeah mostly you got what I was saying... the water thing was mostly for the people asking you about how you keep your bearings good...

And yeah as long as they are greased it should last quite a long time... don't carry it with you, mostly my point was if your bearings stick usually they just need to be greased...I just didn't think the whole washing process was necessary and the way you did it in the video was a little unorthodox and possibly counter intuitive...

@@rkaidag74 it's the method used to wax chains for cycling. The goal was the same with marine style grease as it is with paraffin, to achieve a tenacious thin molecular bond to the lubricant. Many degreasers leave a film that prevents this bond from setting. Again I took it from my cycling hobby. But I don't like using gas as I figure it can age the retainers the same as propellant wd40. I do appreciate you taking the time to comment. I just made a "what I'm doing right now video based on what I've done that works." But having people with more technical know-how or differing experience helps me think through so I can better advise people in the future. Maybe I can find better degreasers that can do a much better job too and be safer.

Correct children need adult supervision it didn't occur to me to recommend that since the people doing long distance skating are all adults and I didn't figure this video would spill over to the general population. I also may have forgotten that not everyone knows how stupid I'm being and may miss much of what I though was hillarious. I agree with you, the gas is super terrible for you and super dangerous. Even isopropyl alcohol can be super bad if you inhale too much (as you know). I should have considered mentioning these great points. And that the only reason I did it inside was for the camera. I think I forgot that many people may miss the implication that I am being a complete idiot for using gas and doing this indoors. I actually have footage I can use of another time I used isopropyl and I got a headache, while outside. That could be a decent PSA. This video is part stupid, but also I'm prepping for crazy extreme situations. I will travel thousands of kilometers across remote areas with only 1 or 2 spare (individual) bearings, as I carry all my equipment in a backpack. I deal with a ton of rain and can't dry the board before going to sleep. Often towns along my route use a lot of salt, in the winter. I have even skated roads in the winter or on a wet salt flat. Thank you for the feedback. I completely agree. And I will post this so people see it until I get organized to make a proper video.

@PaulKentSkates and yeah np bud... figured I would try to let you know how I felt at least... so many kids watch TH-cam and ask silly questions about stuff like skating and bearings because you know they are kids and don't know lol....
