Thank you, dude, and yes, 2.4 kilos in total, I did 101 miles on Ultraskate on them - the only bigger wheels I saw were Donk Boards 150mm and prototype O-tang 97s. I keep riding them whenever I'm out! They may seem a bit slow gaining the speed but they roll forever on the accumulated flywheel effect momentum, 72a despite the expectations is not mushy but quite bouncy. As the next iteration I've turned rears inside-out to avoid tripping on them when pushing.
This board is sick, I don't know much about skateboarding but I want to get a board like this one with big wheels. I don't understand the jargond very well. but it seems you are trying to avoid tripping on wheels, you turned them inside out? any other changes to this setup? I am going to try to order these and make the board, any suggestions? thx
Thank you for your comment! I've re-entered the skateboarding hobby in 2019 (30 years after my teen years riding a very primitive pumpable board) and I've learned how many niches there are now there. Risk-taking downhill is not for me, but I've started with surfskates (manufacturers Carver, YOW, Waterborne adapter on 2nd hand boards, Swelltech), then got interested in long-distance pumping/pushing (LDP) . I've indeed turned the rear wheels inside-out eventually for more clearance pushing. This specific board runs for about $950 if we count all components and probably an overkill for the 1st one. This board is good for covering long distances, but lacks fun of doing deep carves which one can get from a surfskate. You can find a lot of info in Facebook channels about LDP, long distance longboarding, Surfskates. There are deviations such as Freeskates which I've also tried. I can answer questions on lingo and jargon as much as I can.
@@Rideables thank so much, I would've gone with a long board but after researching surfskates it seems they are fun indeed! looking into the yow pukas dark saw your uphill pump video looks cool.
@@tsiwt thank you! Surfskates are the easiest to pump if you're after the maneuver and not covering distances. My entry was with a Carver, my wife with no skating experience picked up a short Carver with C7 which was stable for the start but too restricting as you progress. YOW can bite. The least expensive setup for me was a second hand Sector9 board and a set of Waterborne adapters. Waterborne makes it pump from zero so easily - just wiggle and it will move, then tune in for less amplitude of pumps to gain more speed like on this video: th-cam.com/video/b812v0rvUmg/w-d-xo.html
@@Rideables thx for your replies it is helping me understand what to get. there are so many to choose from . I am now inclined for the Carver Tyler 777 vs the Carver Proteus . I'm looking for a surfskate that can go the distance and buy it as a complete. since it is my first board don't want to go through headaches of installing myself and long amount of research. I was thinking of c7 but you say it is limiting after a while, maybe I should go with cx? what complete set would you get if you wanted to surfskate but also take it about 3 - 8 miles distance. any help is appreciated
@@tsiwt short wheelbase (Proteus) would be the easiest to start pumping especially with C7, the CX might need a bit more skill. The longer the wheelbase - the more it is suited for higher speed, but being more difficult to initiate the pumping. I ended with about 20 different surfskates, while exploring what's out there. It also depends on the height, myself being 186cm /6'2" I wanted to stand stable and my first surfskate was the 36" rather than 32-33". Later I found that 32 and even 28 can be controlled as easily. My YOW, though is 34.5. Just right for me, and a bit too long for my 168mm spouse.
SDF would probably be the next iteration to try. I've started with X24 complete on Glassdrops, then I've also received Bossa LDP42 topmount, and I yet don't have a single SDF or fork-angled truck. I've only tried Peter P.'s SDF one and I liked it. So in my case the choice of 25deg is rather interchangeability with topmount and compatibility with existing gear. Eventually it worked great with this Glassdrop bracket. If I was starting from scratch, I would probably have got SDF and 11deg Bhanger.
Interesting consideration, I haven't felt much difference! Checked out your channel, looks cool and confident technique! Are you on FB? Do you speak RU?

Outstanding. That looks like a great ride!
My 85mm wheels are so tiny now 😆
Thank you, Dave! Indeed 110s are massive and heavy.
great setup!
Thank you! :)
Smoooooth...nice set up!
Thank you!!! 👍
Looks excellent.
Thank you, Victor!
That really looks like a very smooth ride. I have never ever skated wheels that big. I guess they must be pretty heavy though.

@@Rideables 101 miles is incredible! Are they offset?
Awesome 🙂

I'm curious why you chose a 25deg Bhanger and Glassdrop, and not an 11deg Bhanger and a fork?
SDF would probably be the next iteration to try. I've started with X24 complete on Glassdrops, then I've also received Bossa LDP42 topmount, and I yet don't have a single SDF or fork-angled truck. I've only tried Peter P.'s SDF one and I liked it.

does the gyroscopic effect of such large wheels interfere with the pump?
