      Why would you not want to see talented dudes being able to display their ultimate by having the best gear possible? Skateboarding is the same as everything else, just less tools. It's better to watch a woodworker go to work with the best equipment rather than trying to watch him make a masterpiece with a hammer and chisel and cheap wood glue. ​@@joemackenzie7417

      Yeah I love the idea behind lithe, but its really different. I think Powell Peralta nailed it. Some dudes I know are 40 plus like me, and skate Vert, pools and bowls mainly. They all love these Powell Peralta flight decks. I found light trucks with my flight deck fucking ruled, I can concentrate more on a higher kickflip or heelflip than trying to do a proper flip. In that I mean, it takes less effort to get my Ollie's , flips and grinds easier. I skate street though, not like my friends. Each to their own my fellow skater

    I am the same way and kind have always seen the science aspect of skateboarding. Ive actually had friends tell me that I tweaked and changed things too much. Skateboarding is simply physics and finding the leverage points. I remember measuring my inseam to see if I needed a longer board or a shorter more compact board. Bushings, trucks, wheels, concave, can all be different relative to your body type. It all makes a difference once you become more advanced.

    I'd like to hear this guy's take on light trucks vs heavy trucks. Most people usually think lighter trucks let you Ollie higher but I've seen quite a few pro's that prefer standard heavy trucks and think that they allow them to pop it higher.

    • @derekmclaughlin1394
      @derekmclaughlin1394 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is a question of angular momentum... since angular momentum is a linear equation, the weight of the truck remains negligible if velocity is constant. However, the speed of the nose lifting into the air before the tail pops is an acceleration of speed instead of staying a constant velocity, and better skaters master this acceleration motion on the pop. conclusion: Having a heavier truck would result in more upward momentum with proper (and extremely difficult) acceleration of your front truck into the air

      @TysonHook-22- 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@theharvardyard2356 How it sounds is a characteristic of how it rides... You want a board to have a crisp, snappy, popping sound...aka lively sound vs. a dead sound... a snappy board vs. a soggy board, to some people the addition of fiberglasses and carbon fibers deaded the natural crispiness sound of a traditional maple board.
      It's mostly a mental thing, if you been skating 20+ years and all you know is 7 ply maple decks you've become vary accustomed to the characteristics of maple decks from the sound, snap/pop, flex/stiffness etc... now switch to a advance tech board and everything youve ever known changes completely, all those characteristics you know of 7ply maple decks are slightly different with advance tech boards.
      Just think of it this way, If you play ice hockey and use a composite hockey stick, try playing with a wooden one... there both sticks that shot pucks but the way they feel and play is much different. I beleive nowadays that every pro hockey player uses comp. sticks (a few players held out for years and years but have finally given in or retired by now)
      Depending on your age you might not realize this... when comp hockey sticks first hit the market there was many players that didnt accept the tech. as useful/good, nowadays brands have little to no focus on wooden sticks at all.
      With each coming skate generation, advance tech boards will become more common place... The retro rippers over 30 likely have little to no experience with advance tech boards but if your under 30 chances are you've tried at least one or two advanced tech board over the years... from the old element featherlight and hellium decks, to darkstar armour lites, almost impact and uber lights, santa cruz vx, and powel flight decks and im sure im leaving out many others as well but the point being that depending on the era you grew up in skating advance tech boards are less of an oddity.
      Kelly's point is simply that it would be odd and unnatural to him to skate anything but 7 play maple boards... just like for chris it would feel odd and unnatural for him to skate anything bigger then 7.75.

      Most park snowboards are twin so its the same weight on both sides so its balanced. Wouldnt that make sense for a skateboard too? I never understood why the nose looked smaller on a skateboard when i was a kid

      Or a Schmitt Mullen podcast... id settle for a once a month show, it would be fascinating to hear those two talk together for a few hours each month. They could even have other skaters come on to dicuss how Schmitt and/or Mullen have help them over the years figuring out the perfect board setups or perfect trick technique etc

      Ppl usually don't understand until they have enough freak accident injuries...if you want a long pro career you should want a perfect setup...lot less risk when confident with your setup...all my bad injuries came from small changes, but when i had the right gear for the situation things felt easy...if you find the right setup early you will get really good fast, if you ride bad grip you likely won't last long in skating...another example is you could pop out of grinds better with low trucks, you also don't have to ollie as high with low trucks, each person is diff so find what you like early on...it's a big deal to learn this stuff early and use it to your advantage.

      I specifically said examples...those are basic examples of diff ways of thinking about a setup, i was telling lessons i learned early on and it was not about him, i don't speak for him...i learned about things he was talking about because of freak accidents, some of what he says i learned early on and it was obvious to me...btw i tried telling ppl many years ago and they did not understand what i was telling them, they just did not see things the same as i did...i wanted to understand why certain events happened to learn from it...you made it about me when i agree with him, it makes no sense.

      Just cause you jump high dont mean you'll be able to ollie high... so no its not the jump that matters, its the relationship and synergy between all of your components and your own physcial abilities.
      You think you can jump/ollie high on the setup you got now... go ahead and try out a cruiser/shaped board thats 9-10" wide with a 15-16" wheel base, 60mm wheels, 9" trucks and see how drastically your ollie height decreases... if your stilll able to ollie at all.
      If you consulted with prof. Schmitt he'd have you olliing 4 1/2-5 ft ;) :P by singling in on your perfect deck shape.
