It seems like after watching all three videos, that when it comes to these new skateboard style/hybrid oriented surfskate systems. It really boils down to personal preference.
These videos are so helpful 🙏 Especially sussing all the surfskates. I currently ride a standard 8.5 popsicle with thunder 149 trucks and Ricta 57/86's but very tempted by a C5 setup now. Wasn't sure if you could still adjust the front kingpin bolt once you've flipped it but you've just shown you definitely can 👍 Trade off with concrete waves Vs real waves.... Concrete it's either wet or dry and that's it, real waves can be a wild goose chase on the swell / tides but good for the soul. Have a good week chief 😎👍
Thanks for information just did it to a new borad i am setting up with c5 trucks i am setting up but used a pice of scrape wood to not scratch the king pin nut cant wait to take it to a skate park
On both the C5 and CX, the kingpin threads into the truck base when flipping the kingpin. Making it hard to tighten/loosen the kingpin. Any suggestions?
Hey Steve, once again thank you for the great content. I noticed each truck has 2 risers. Did you add an additional 2 risers or did it come stock that way? I ask because mine only came with 2. One for each side. Just curious lol

Yep, pretty much. Pros and cons to all of them.

Maaaan, was this useful!!! Thank you very much.
Hey Steve, I m gonna try a pair of angled risers and see how it works before reversing the kingpin 🤙
Incredible
You are the best ❤
Old school sure grip kingpins fit on the front c5 truck. The wide button head means you don't need a top washer either
👌👍
Just Picked up the Santa Cruz carver C5 for under 150 on zumiez .
Between the C5 and Cx, do they have the same offset wheels position?

Can you screw it in?

I actually think I may have accidentally added some before this video.
@@SurfskateLove ok fair enough! i thought i was missing mine lol thank you!!
My rear truck wheelbites with just the 1 riser it came with! How hard should you tighten the back C5 truck? Or I might add a second riser
Hi Steve, also for the carver cx that we can reverse the kingpin?
Yes, but it just means you won't be able to adjust it.
