Compare these to Drifts?

Not new, but I'd appreciate a hawgs Supreme review!

what is de the name of your dekc?

I kind of disagree with your opinion that these are bad for beginners. I wouldn't put a complete beginner on one, but I think you can jump on a little board much earlier than most people think, and that there can be huge benefits to doing so. The key is to run freeride wheels instead of race wheels at first. I got on a little board running purple Kevos less than a year into my downhill progression, and I believe that it accelerated my progress tremendously. The stability and control inspired so much confidence. The precise handling really helped me figure out where to put my weight to maximize braking force. And because it's lightweight and the wheels are under my feet, it was much easier to learn to control slides on it. I felt like, once I learned how to deal with the extra grip, I could control the kickout much better, and keep a low slide angle, something that I struggled to do on my big board. Obviously this is my personal experience and different skaters will have different tastes, styles, and needs. I'm not saying that they're necessary for everyone, or that you have to drop a huge wad of cash on a race setup to get good. But for me, the little board meshed with my skating style perfectly and really accelerated my progress, even at an early stage of learning.

Have you tried your Robot Oblivions on this setup yet? They'd probably be sick.

Is that in James Swanson's room? Or it backwards? Is that thing? Just wandering if you're friends?

nice ride, nice community. where are they located?

how do you compare it to valkries?

where are new vids mate? Come back!

Cool review to see all the details of this board and your impressions. I’m also into kicktail boards and the Leon was clearly on the top of my mind but in the end I ordered the dh scout which is like a smaller Leon. I can’t wait to try out…

Then there is a Carlos Alvarez making 106 km/h with this wheels xd

Review orangatang 77a please

Test out more wheels!!!

So kinda a stupid question from an old skater. Looking to get back into skating, just want something like the Axel Serrat 39", but everything I see as far as wheels are 80a or similar. When I used to bomb hills and powerslide I'd ride 99a or harder. Am I going to be able to slide an 80a wheel??

Rocket ❤

just now watching this! great stuff! RIP GRC

Good analysis ! You can also consider that the snappy feel is higher with the precision cup'd washers : when you replace them with flat ones, return to center gets softer and flowier, even with std barrels. I like also the following option : std barrel board side + tall barrel road side. The initiating of the turn is soft and the end of the lean gets firm.

*Re-watchin in 2024* 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️👌🏽 Love my II's, finally bought a Raked III 😎

dangerous

I cannot tell you how thankful I am that you mentioned at 19:00 the industrial grade velcro trick for the block. I've been searching everywhere for this bit of info. I have the torque block I want to install, but am trying to figure out the best placement for it, so the adjustable-ness of velcro is very appealing. Also, since I'm dialing my setup, I've always wondered how not being able to adjust the hardware on my trucks would be after butting the block on, since my torque block is going to cover at least two bolts and I want to be able to take off the trucks without removing the block. Genuinely and seriously, thank you.

As soon as I see this helmet I can't help but think of Andy Anderson. Dude is a good skater

5:50 who cares if people give you "dirty looks"? Look at them back.

I love the acid longboards. I wish they were still being made! I remember watching Crunchie skate them back in the day and really wanting one.

Me personally not the biggest fan of the bangers.. they are only good on certain types of pavement that’s also really hot. They feel like they are all grip until complete ice.. no in between. In my experience.

Sick video

What about for freestyle? Do you think they're a bit on the heavier side or are they alright?

Anybody ever tested the Aeon Trucks? Really interested in some reviews...

Also aren't the mk3.5 dh trucks 160-170mm ?? Just confirming

Hey mate, just want to say how impressed I am with your reviews. You have the most in-depth on point reviews of all the channels out there. I have a similar surfy, carving style as you so I'm looking at upgrading to the valk mk3.5 dh trucks.. I'm going with 45/45 and I'm wondering what you think for bushing setup for 98kg guy. I'm thinking il get 93a and 95a bushings to try out.. what do you think? Also iv always road venom bushings do they fit valks well or do I need to go to riptide krank bushings? Thanks bro

These sound like what I've been looking for in a wheel. I really like the Liam Pro models but I can't sustainably afford wheels that I destroy in a week 🥲.

Good to see Ojooms are still around they seemed to disappear for a time

The transition from "lets go skate them" to you in the passenger seat "so I cored them already" made me cackle

I did not like these wheels at all. I bought them because they are supposed to thane, but mine barely did; it left very faint lines on a warmed up road on one of the hottest days of the year. In that same session, my friend was dumping with roller skate wheels. I've had two other homies get this wheel, for one of them it left tons of thane, and the other one didn't thane at all, so I feel like there must be some inconsistencies in the formula or something. I was stoked for a dumpy mids wheels and I feel like I wasted my money. :(

Are you experiencing super high temps like us in New Jersey? Because wheels are definitely feeling and wearing different right now with road surface temperature being crazy hot.

Kind of expensive for a wheel that'll last half a day and feel mediocre throughout. I'll stick to $17 ebay mids.

Milkshakes go so hard, feel (and maybe are?) identical to Freewheelco Gold Thane Free Dumbs. Def my fav dumper right now. Banana Wheel Co and Parker been slaying it.

how do they compare to the 75a snakes?

aaaannd they're gone

Thanks for the super helpful review. Now I don’t feel so bad I got the 72mm 80A wheels. Appreciate the thoroughness.

New Sub here =) What Trucks do you ride? The purple ones. Love the Deck and your skating! greetz from Germany

This video told me NOTHING about the weight. And the few things you said don't make any sense. If the weight is in the middle it's doing NOTHING to pull you back to center. It would have to be on the other side or it wouldn't pull the other way, if anythign if it's tilted one way the center of gravity is on the side you're leaning to, not the other side. You're really bad at this.

I've been wondering what those mysterious black blocks screwed to the bottom of decks was.

👌🏻

Agreed weight boards need a dangerous looking hunk of metal strapped to the bottom for full effect preferably with sharp edges and a little duct tape

always appreciate the love. Glad to see you back! Congrats on the grommet ♥️

Congratulations 🎉

I looked up Wood Booger. That 5 hours from me. If work allows I will come up and watch and learn. I am not at the right skill level to register yet.

Congrats on your baby and thx for the shoutout🎉❤ Next video is dropping on Go Skateboarding day (21st of june) on the @teamheckmeck channel

Awesome run.
