The MOST RIDICULOUS Skateboard Setup!

In this video I'm back on the Eggzill 2 deck BUT with some 39mm Boardy Cakes wheels instead of the 54mm Spitfire Radials I originally had on this beast! My theory is that setting up these smaller wheels will lighten this setup and have my board sit closer to the ground to help get a quicker pop when I ollie So let's see how it all works out...

Are These The SMALLEST Wheels Ever Made?
For a few years now ive been cleaning my bearings and only replacing the ones that are too far gone. I have mismatched bearings on all my boards. I couldnt tell u whats good or whats not LOL. But i will say that the swiss and my quantums stayed consistent out of the bunch
Hey Its Me Again, Check Out My Music, Im Writing This On My Music Channel,
Bro I'm the same way when I remove the windshield and all four windows from my car, like I know the interior won't last as long, but it makes me feel like I'm going faster, because the wind hits me more. I also remove the hood so I can show my engine, I have a blast going through car washes. 😆😂
There’s definitely more negatives to the positives but some of us just like it that way lol
@@LeonPaxton I only wrote the comment for pure comedy ahha
I found a pair of 129 Indy’s in my garage made in the US, can u use them on a 8” board or should I stick with my 139’s ?
The 139’s will fit an 8” perfectly but the 129’d will be fine, the trucks will just slightly sit in on each sode
I redrill boards but normally to shorten wheel base
What’s your ideal wheelbase?
This is wrong the Smith is opposite of how you would 5050. doesn't require the wheel pinch. Smith is all the way on
You can do them both ways but a lot of beginners get hung up on their back truck dropping back into a smith if their toe side wheel is hard up to the coping because there is more distance for your heel side wheel to travel and get back into the ramp
I’m size 13 and I’m considering dropping from a 8.25 to 8.1
Damn that will feel tiny! Flip tricks will work so well though 👌🏽
I’m a heavy (230lbs) skater and notice a significant difference between the performance of the big balls. As I understand, this is a primary advantage of the difference.
Yeah for sure dude, the bigger balls will be able to stand more weight and the less friction will definitely help us big guys roll better too 👌🏽
Just bought some Indy 169 forged aluminum. I have 149 thunder titaniums on my 8.5 boards and some heroin boards. Gonna use the 169 indys on my 9.5 shovel
Hell yeah, that will be perfect man!
Yah I thought same thing because of my 9 inch length independent and one your show one been wanting the ex Ray skeleton egg board and 9.25 all that works out well my end yah awesome heroin deck
Hey Leon, thanks heaps for making this video! Can you recommend any parks around the inner west or city that are good for learning these tricks? I found a park in the mountains called Melrose Jr skate park which looks cool but its a long way to go! Thanks dude, love your channel, I dont have to drive around looking! :)
Thanks for watching man! The skatepark in Currans hill or Waterloo skatepark have perfect small little quarter pipes to learn on if they are anywhere near your area?
@@LeonPaxton awesome thanks dude. I’m in Ashfield so Waterloo isn’t to far away. Currans I’ll check it out l8tr sk8tr :)
Indys are the best
What a spin out, I'm not big on YT but dig your channel. I'm a 30 something dad starting fresh, just so happened to learn feebles on a whim a couple days back, got the axle stall today. On that same board believe it or not. ❤
Oh sick, welcome to the skateboarding world 🥳 That’s sick man, keep it up 🙌🏻
Ventures have the largest wheelbase try them out on an egg board
I’ll have to try a set!
I pay attention to your videos everyone I've seen very good & you know what talking about but yah I'm loving these egg boards I can't wait own one soon I have stage 4 independent trucks so I'm wounding what good deck buy 9.25 or 9.5 sumatrical I'm interested in owning one I'd like make sure what good size this independent stage 4 9 inches length trucks are please comment bro!?
Oh sick, thanks man! Definitely go with a 9.25” to get the closest size since that board will taper down to 9” over the trucks 👌🏽
Question I have stage 4 independent I'm about order heroin skateboards deck being independent trucks are 9 inchs length so what type of egg board get 9.25 wide or 9.5 please comment id appreciate it
Yeah dude, they will be more suited to a 9.25” egg board if you want them to be as close to flush as possible 👌🏽 But I ride 9” trucks on boards between 9.1” to 10” and don’t find and problems with the trucks sitting slightly inside or outside the board edge. That and I don’t want to have to buy a new set of trucks to suit every different board size I try lol
yo how is your foot
It still hurts to walk. Heel bruises are the worst 😫
The fact you can get like 7.5 to 11 inch wide boards nowadays
There’s so many different options out there now!
Anti heros are the best for me being 6foot 2
They are!
This has been my exact issue as a similar sized dude
We can redrill the wheelbase’s other than that, sometimes Heroin drops boards with a 14.4”-14.6” wheel base 👌🏽
I dont know if I agree with your explanation. Most boards are close to the same length, so a shorter wheelbase will mean that the nose or tail will be longer. A shorter tail will give you more power as it takes longer to snap to the ground. If you want the same power from a longer tail, you will need to make the tail steeper.
Rip Fausto Vitello, Indy was the best since he was alive, no promodels, sick ads, stage developing
Love the gameboy synth sound in whatever song this is
Youre really brave to skate in slip ons. It just chews em up so bad. Im like 16 pairs in this lifetime, lol
Yeah dude, slip ons are always a gamble, it's so painful when the board lands on top of your foot as well!
When i was a kid, i would use really bad bearings from time to time. But if you soak them in wd40 overnight, they literally turn into abec 9s and it LASTS. Id do it to better bearings too and it just conditions them nicely and adds some smoothness. I had some blind bearings at one point, and would remove and replace the shields and soak em, and they worked amazingly
That's always a good way to bring bearings back to life!
My blunt slides are always like over tails
Same, no matter how hard I try and keep them up 😂
Haha I’m a short guy I ride 8.5 with 14 wb
That’s sick!
Those two fellas in the background are looking hot hot hot!!!
Hahaha legends!
Thanks for the tips! Can you make more !
No worries! What do you want to learn next?
@@LeonPaxton thanks ! Maybe any kinda of hurricane on rails?
Sweet, I can do that!
Backtails please 🙏🏾
Gotchu 🫡
I Can't Get My Ollie's High Anymore, Can You Help Me? Because Of Your Blunt Slide
I can definitely make a video on how to improve your Ollie’s 👌🏽
@@LeonPaxton Thanks, Your The Best
No
The way Ace's grind the baseplate on blunts is so satisfying!! Bigspin out is buttery I need to give em a try, great vid Leon thanks!!
It's so good! I never got that sound with Thunders 😂 Thanks dude, appreciate you!
Yes, a backtail tutorial would be appreciated. Thank you
Ok done 👌🏼
Is that park still slippery af? Nice fit btw, kinda 80s summer vibes inspired 👌
It doesn't feel too slippery at all but I am riding the 93 durometer Soft Sliders so I do have more grip than a standard 99a wheel 🤔
DIY parks are always sick. Used to love skating the one in Galveston TX by the beach (it’s been demolished since new owners bought the property). Also you should do an update video on your spitfire radials! Great videos keep it up bro
They are the best. Damn that sucks, might have to get another one going out there! I'm actually riding the same 54mm Radial shape again but in the 93 durometer Soft Slider model and they are a mazing 👌🏼 Thanks dude 🙏🏼
Very cool how all your landings were on beat with the song😅
Thank you, it's always so satisfying to do it that way lol
Nice, Have a tons of trucks, but 149 is the biggest, in my room, what trucks do you ride on that 9.125? 9" thunder?
These trucks are actually 151 Thunder Hollow lights which is probably the most perfect match! This board tapers down to about 8.8" at the trucks so 9" trucks would sit out a little bit.
What width trucks are you riding on that setup?
These are 151 Thunder Hollow lights dude! They fit perfectly since the 9.1” deck tapers down to about 8.8” and these trucks are 8.75” 👌🏽
I grew up riding reds, they are what my dad rode for as long as ive known.
Yeah dude, Reds are the best!
Want bigger 🥚size? I am Prince of Nigeria and that sounds like a good investment. Send me 500$ and I will send you pills for enlargement. P.s.: Need gold? I run out of storage space.
So what if you come across a ledge that is all waxed up already and you want to take it off?
Yeah that’s a tricky one man! If you try and run brick a ledge that is already waved then it won’t work, the rub brick will just be sliding along the wax. You’ll have to use some sort of paint scraper to get the wax off and then rub brick it down once it’s raw concrete again 👌🏽
@@LeonPaxton yeah i think ima bring a scraper, some prypo alchohol, and then a blow torch to evaporate it. Then rub brick it. Then clear coat the wax. This ledge is worth it. Just wish that skaters that waxed it saw your video first
Haha true, some people think that all you need to do is wax but rub brick and lacquer is always the first step! It makes the ledge grind and slide way more consistently too 🙌🏼
im glad to hear that yours are wearing though
holy shit sucha bummer. the vans slip on pros were hands down my favorite shoes. they lasted me so long and were so insanely comfortable. My mom got me a pair of slip ons for my birthday and they are the new ones and my god ive never felt so uncomfortable skating in a pair of shoes. Bring back the old formula, fuckin tragedy
Mine too man! Haha yeah they are so damn stiff and painful at first! They are the best shoe after they were in but the wear in period is so long and painful 😫
i think i can (barely) hit like two of these features - fun to see someone who can actually skate get into it! gnarly area but the locals are legends
also half of the fun is seeing kids hoon through the field on their peewee 50s haha
Yeah man, everything there is so fun! Haha yeah there actually was a few guys tearing through the fields that n their lil’ motorbikes 😂
Half cab lip 270 was horny gear
Haha thank you!
Hey Leon, just wanted to say that your my favourite skate TH-camr and you’ve convinced me to stop using an 8.5 deck as a size 12 foot 😂
Thanks man, I appreciate that so much! 🙏🏽 Haha that’s sick! What size do you ride now?
@@LeonPaxton I'm still using the 8.5 (broke teenage skater) but keeping my eyes out for a nice egg board on sale. what size would you recommend?
Haha all good! I’d go straight up to a 9” when you get the chance man 👌🏽
No man I had 38mm 98a "bullet" wheels, but I can't remember the brand
That’s sick! Do you remember if they were hard or soft?
@@LeonPaxton 98a if I'm not wrong, they were super hard during the super small wave
the most grindable bench of all time
It’s actually so buttery!
back board 270 was sick as hell man
Thanks man, it felt so good!
