so confidently was I wrong about BBS, WKND is PS Stix, first non-BBS deck I’ve had in 2 years, skates great.

[boogie..]

Wknd are actually made at ps stix my boy.

i started watching this video and was expecting to have thousands of likes because the editing and filming and vibe of it was amazing, great job👍

[yesmaybe]

Clearly the numbers between the wheels indicate Paul Schmitt made that deck

[SDPTheGhost]

I wanted to try thunders because of how light they are and how good the turning is, but they’re pretty short compared to Indy’s and I always get wheelbite cause I’m fat 😂 But maybe I’ll get risers and try em one day

[_Maxten]

Ive never seen anyone snap their rails with their deck before. Usually the rails just get ripped off not in half

[llamalad]

Can you do a backside flip tutorial or maybe bigspin???

[pyrimid]

Ooooph.
You are part of that 2% crew(in your way).
Don’t jump into the boring dark side.
It takes time but it shows its teeth one day when you’re much older.
Some need that journey…
My advice:
Do you first, always.
I heard GF and full time and threw up in my mouth a little.
My experience and the most or all I’ve witness…. A real bummer but also teachable moments.

After you cut away the grip, I always file it off again, I dunno why but I find it feels a bit better to get rid of that bit of excess.

I think royals are better than aces for ledges.. I had a set of gold aces for a few months wasnt even down to the king pin yet an I hit a ledge an caught on the smooth waxy ledge an it CRACKED have no idea how I thought I hit a chip on the ledge or something but it was still smooth but the truck was cracked 😂 I put on my old back up royals that's damn near the king pin hit the ledge saucy.. I only ride Indys or royals now days everytime I try something new it goes bad like with the aces 😅

This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique and will be remembered for generations

[ulpsb]

I know its been said already 😂but point at ps stix serial #, this a bbs for sure 😂

[piggytrombone]

what's making u want to switch from classic to conical?

[joshhenry]

I also skate ace but I just got the ishod blood sport raw thunders.

[CollieCam]

1:52 My brother in Christ, what are you doing hahahaha I love it!

[Dr.MantisTobogganMD]

I run Thunder 148s with thin (forgot measurements) risers, I was getting hella wheel bite especially since I ride looser trucks and roll on OJ key frame Plain Jane wheels.

I think ima stick with Shake Junt grip, mob ruins my shoes and my fingers too fast.

I ride mainly for filming and skating transition, just started getting into street skating so ima need to get some harder wheels.

What wheels should I get?

[adrenalinestairz]

I love skating with independant trucks and spitfire formula four wheels 54mm with 99a. I also have bullet trucks which are pretty good.

[bgoutdoors]

Idk if you ever rode it but your next setup you should try pepper grip. It's like right in the middle of mob and Jessup. It's that perfect grip that won't eat your shoes in a week but still feels super nice when flicking

[ho]

Hey Matt: My 11yr old is a beginner with 6 months experience. He has been using chocolate 8.25 ricta 92d wheels and royal trucks. He asked for a new setup for xmas and I bought this:

Quasi 8.0 fast car 2 deck
Independent Silver Stake 11 139s
G3 Bronson Bearings
Spitfire 54mm formula 4s
1/8 Independent risers

My question; did I do well buying the risers ?

[YouWillNeverCatchMeAlive]

Do you recommend wearing a helmet when you start out skating?
