- 1. I am recently trying an EXPERIMENTAL way of braking by stepping on the rear wheel by back foot. This alternative method should *ONLY* be suitable for drop-through and big wheel setup. Some demos will be shown in 0:34, 1:53, 2:40, 3:44, 4:30 and 5:08.
2. I have started practicing pushing mongo for about a week (at the time of recording). I will keep practicing and hopefully learn pushing switch for an efficient LDP ability. More progress video later.
3. My previous Adidas 3MC VULC shoes were worn out after 1 year from buying (not related to this newly found braking method). I have just bought a new pair of Oxelo Vulca100 from Decathlon😆. So far, I find them comfortable and love to wear them for riding.
I have been using cruisers for daily commuting purposes since the end of 2020. I really love cruising around in my beautiful Hong Kong city.
Setup:
Landyachtz Drop Cat Illuminacion 33
Orangatang Caguama 85mm (83A)
No name 50° truck (SHR85A)
170/60kg

I jst have started longboard in Thailand. Wanna go crusing with u if I can go to Hk. U look so professional and have so much fun. Becarefulof covid 19.
I started breaking in a similar manner applying pressure to one of the back wheels with the tip of my toe on my electric shortboard when the battery dies. I like how you use your heel, it seems very stable. My board has extremely wide trucks, so don’t think I can use my heel but maybe I’ll give it a try! Thanks for sharing!
Nice video and great idea for breaking! Thank you :D Just arrived my brand new Drop Cat 38 but all week and weekend is rainy and wet here in Poland so I can't test it even yet :/
heja! i jak oceniasz 38? zastanawiam sie nad kupnem 33 lub wlasnie 38, mam niby 160cm wzrostu, więc teoretycznie 33 powinno być ok. Czy 38 jest ciężkie bardzo?
@@aleksandrapietrzak8545 Hejka, oceniam bardzo dobrze :) Wcześniej miałem pin tail i była dłuższa troche od 38. Wątpie czy będzie dla Ciebie za długa 38. Za to nie widziałem nażywo 33 i wydaje mi się że to baaardzo krótka decha. Czasem na 38 brakuje mi miejsca też. Wagowo cięzko mi to ocenić szczerze. Z Drop cata jestem bardzo zadowolony :)
Your videos are satisfying 😎
Thanks! I hope that this video can provide you an alternative braking method for large wheels drop-through longboards.
I really liked your method of real-wheel foot-breaking and was happy with the results, it seemed to slow down much better than regular foot breaking. But then I noticed the burnt rubber smell when stopped, had sticky urethane marks on the grip-tape and saw the "scar" ring on my wheel...
maybe it was due to cheap Amazon wheels - 75mm 80A Bigfoot - maybe not...
@@andreiierdna9356 I think that a bigger wheel size has a lower rotational speed, which can provide a better braking performance and reduce the damage..(?)
How fast were you going man. Its insane having a burnt smell. You must've been going at least 15-20km/h at least.
@@ArTiCwInD I wasn't going faster than 15-20 km/h, which is the average cruising speed on a longboard.
I feel like braking that way would flatspot your wheels fast AF. I would just glue on some brake soles and start foot braking.
@Hell's favorite Salty Masshole Friction is what would flatspot or make it oval over time. That one wheel would have the most resistance on it causing uneven wear compared to the other three(same thing happens with car tires) Not to mention to get close to a even wear for just that one wheel over course the foot positioning would have to be perfect every single time and the road would have to be level.Would definitely take longer than slides though.
great technique and save a lot of wipeouts. these boards just go so fast, they have to start including a brake mechanism
Dude I respect longboarders that shii is hard I broke 2 ribs cruising on my dinghy blunt lol looked like a shitty fall but I got bodied yo....no joke be f'ing careful and wear a helmet people its fun but very dangerous
omg
They're very fast compared to a regular skateboard 🛹
glad i'm not the only one to do that xD
Yo i need to try that backwheel braking since i suck at footstop braking
In terms of balancing skill requirements, I think footstop braking should be easier and safer. You may try this method at a very low speed first :)
you should try footbraking first due to how at high speeds touching the back tire can really wobble or abruptly stop the board. My tip would be try to put weight on the back/before heel part of the foot on the board and don't drag but let the braking foot gently slide on ground either heel or ball part and slowly put more pressure on the ground. Try to footbrake at slow speed like one push and balancing on the foot board and sliding your foot that is pushing to simulate footbraking until comfortable to go to quicker speeds and actual footbrake.
may I ask what kind of skate board it is? it looks different than a regular skate board or long board. Wanna buy one of these in hong kong, can you suggest keywords to google?
You may serach for "double drop longboard". Actually all my stuffs were bought by oversea online shop. However, Hong Kong has one famous local longboard workshop "SBDW". I cannot find "Drop cat" but a more suitable distance pushing choice "Pantheon Trip" available in their stock~
Hi Harry Lam!
I really wanted to know how is the Drop Cat 33 on you? I've been researching that the standing platform is too small. I want to get the Drop Cat 33 for cruising and learn to slide. Can you also do some slide here?
33" deck has lighter weight and higher mobility when taking the board around crowded street and transports. It is suitable for daily longboarding. When riding, 38" deck must provide higher stability and better freerideing / pushing experience. I think it depends your own situation/life style/city condition.
My wheels are 85mm, I use the board for distance pushing. Currently, I have not done any freeriding slide yet..
What is the best for cruising in city and have agility, fun, and smooth? Drop cat 38? Zénith AB3? Maze? Pranayama?
I have just rided Drop Cat 33 and Pranayama. I think Trip and Pranayama are suitable choices for city crusing. Their sizes are short enough for taking around city. They also have long wheelbase for stability. Drop Cat 33/38 are designed for freeride.
mongo boyzz all day.
so based, need more
Whoah! I've been thinking about this recently like why not slow down by touching the wheel directly. Felt awkward for me as i was doing the front, I'll try the back with backfoot like you :)
Compare to rough concrete footbrake, I guest that this method will be less destructive to the shoes! Be safe and test it.
I had the same thoughts as well
Thanks for making this video!! Definitely gonna try this when I go out again, how well have you found it working going at faster speeds?
I will step on the ground to confidently reduce most of the speed first. Then start trying this new method to control speed. I don't recommend trying the new braking method when the wheel is wet or the speed is too high (you can practice and find your speed limit). Btw, I find the wheel has an implicit "ring mark" after weeks🤣 So, try stepping on different parts of the wheel
@@HarryLamHK oh thank you! i totally forgot to reply earlier but ive been trying out this method and its pretty fun haha, its a bit nicer on your shoes if you do your wheel brake method than scuffing it on the ground so i appreciate it!
Nothing wrong with pushing Mongo Harry. All accomplished LDPers do it. The old culture that it is wrong to push mongo is outdated. That came about during the street skating days when street tricks were the fashion.
LDP, commuting and distance skating for exercise require the new technique of ambidextrous pushing.
Как интересно ногой колесо притормаживаешь 👍🏼
Hey, wanna ride tgt? I live around the spot and also rides a longboard.
hello粉嶺友👋 我平日返工放工時間多數由聯和墟mtr, 希望日後路上有緣相遇~
That looks pretty awkward and will wear out your shoes in a very limited part of the sole. Why not just foot brake normally and wear out the sole evenly?
As concrete is rough and hard, I think that footbraking decelerate by scratching away the whole shoes permanently. Nearly no heat is produced.
While braking by rubbing two grip surfaces of shoes and wheel, I think that MORE kinetic energy will be converted into heat energy on both surfaces which can be cooled down by time. Of course, if it is too hot, they still wear out permanently.
Anyway you are right and it is an experimental method. So far, I find that the heel of brake shoes looks pretty intact, but the brake wheel already has some "ring marks" due to the heat energy. I have to change the brake wheel with the other three wheels regularly.
Everyone taking about the braking but no one talking about how he normal pushes and mongo pushes, idk I think it’s rare to see that
Its called switch pushing, more effective and results in less wear on the standing leg when commuting long distances or going uphill. It is indeed rare to see but found myself enjoying it a lot, would recommend!
@@Daniel-cc9tj I mean normal switch is when you just use the opposite leg to either push or support your weight but he re he uses a mongo push(where he pushes with front foot)
how dangerous is this method highspeed?
When your speed is high, if you have the ability to maintain confident balance and you have plenty of time for decelaration, you can gently "touch" the wheel by the heel first. If you can still get the balance, then you can add more pressure to further decelarate to your desired speed. Sometime it fails because the wheel is too wet... Give up and use footbrake if you feel any dangers.
Nice
i just want to know if you would recommend this board to a beginner
ys, I really love its wide and low deck. I will recommend 38" if you mainly go riding on holiday or chase for stability. 33" is more suitable for daily commuters who carry it around in a crowded city.
@@HarryLamHK thanks for responding! just would like to know what bearings do you have in your setup.
@@hayleonard2784 608RS. They are quite cheap but I find them enough for me.
Do you know how to do power or coleman slides
also do you have an Instagram account, if so, please reply and we can ride tgt. To meet by chance doesn't seem too viable.
no... I currently just do LDP, but I am planning about buying a Pantheon Ember, which can do some slides.
you should have titled the video I'm legit
Hi can I check whats your weight and height... tying to figure out if I should get the 33 or 38 drop cat
I am 170cm tall. My weight is 58 kg. This maple board is very stiff for me.
@@HarryLamHK Oh I'm 177 and 80kg... I don't have any ability to measure the board's standing platform length. Would you be so kind to do me a favour of measuring the platform for standing less the trucks area please
@@dpj9421 it is around 56cm (wheelbase 61cm)
@@HarryLamHK Thanks so much! So there's only 56cm to stand on :/ hmmmm
72mm wheels not 85 those are too small to be 85
對鞋個碌同銀包表示好痛
我呢大半年一直都係用呢個方法brake, 好懶落地😂 暫時每對鞋都係磨爛toe位置而扔掉, 而wheel都有輕量磨損, 特別係外圈會磨薄多d~
北區人？
Hi~我係呀👋🏻
ты не задохнулся в маске?
this sounds like an incredibly bad idea
