- Reviewing unpublished old footage, this one is from Nov 28 2021.
Some people claimed they coned their wheels (made them shaved on the edges) - in my case these are hard 83A Caguamas and softer Vibram sole Merrell shoes which I use in the unworn center part - so far so good.
I descend from the top of this pedestrian overpass at Boston Charles River Esplanade / MGH and controlling the speed by pressing the sole on the rear wheel, coming to complete stop at the end and not touching the ground. Having both feet on the deck seems to provide more stability. Prolonged braking may start to smell like burnt rubber, so use it sparingly.
CAUTION: Don't try to do this on the front wheel - small overpowered push will make it press even harder and you'll find yourself off the board running to keep upright :)
I've indeed coned edges of Dad Bod wheels a bit using this method though, don't blame me if you do too :)

That's very cool my friend, cheers from Australia
Thank you! Cheers!
Stay awesome 👌
I thought I was the only one doing this lol. Thanks for sharing
Cool! I had a lot of criticism for this in the LDP group :) What is your setup and shoes? Which one wins - the wheel or the shoe? :)
@@Rideables I ride seismic speed vents about 90% of the time. I wear adidas (sambas, puig, copas). The wheels wear my shoes less than the pavement which is why I started doing it. Of course, I think you should kick your wheels on purpose for practice. I even swing kick the front wheels to gain speed lol.
@@akwinter thank you for the details! For braking in very thin sole Merrells I also occasionally counter-push - not dragging on pavement but touch the ground and resist with muscles.
Swing kicking the front wheels - wow this could be risky :)
That's great, you can hardly see the smoke! 😁
LOL! It was about +5C, probably that's why :))
Interesting life-hack. I've seen it in youtube video from one LDP guy from Taiwan recently. Nice.
Thank you, yes, I was advertising his video in FB LDP group, in analogy with a kick scooter it just comes to mind. Many people said it would screw the wheels, it sort of works for me with vibram soles and harder wheels, but I shaved the edges of Dad Bods when applying foot not exactly at center on TTX without looking. I'm not much concerned - the less contact area - the faster it rolls :)
I'm glad y'all always wear protective gear. ❤❤❤ Thank you for the videos
Thank you! Regarding protection - after a few careless "what could possibly go wrong" time falls and having to sleep in a thumb/wrist brace for a few months, it was a natural selection law moment for me to start wearing protection gear religiously no matter what :)
Nice good idea, but after awhile maybe the shoe needs to be changed.
Thank you, actually there are parts of shoe which never wear out like the middle of the sole, and I don't brake like that often. But I for sure shaved off edges of Dad Bod wheels by not placing the foot accurately at the center, so beware :)
Very clever. Merci
Thank you, but beware it may shave the wheel edge if not placed consistently :)
Nice :)
Thank you! :)
Оо, стойка хорошая!!!
Вот только задняя ступнями не может себе места найти.
Если перевести комментарий - тут я спускаюсь с горы и показываю как тормозить ногой об колесо. Т.е. все ноги на своих местах для этой цели :)
