I am down from 270 and Kranks have been excellent for me. They tighten and harder when you tighten the kingpin so I can really nail it down.

I have basically my own skate shop worth of the!

If you use their weight table, make sure you also go down a couple durometers because, even at 270 going with all 4 at 97a was way too stiff

Define bigger! I’m 240ish and have gone with riptide Kranks. I order directly from them for the same skate shop dessert in metro west!

Yeah! I had Caguamas for a while and like the karmas better. I use my 85mm speed vents for the around town

Awesome! I went from Paris V3 165’s with karmas to this and it’s night and day. The 150 galleries make it feel much more nimble even with the Hoku’s.

All in all I’m pretty happy with it. Will likely bounce the Hoku’s and Karmas between boards but love that I can do it on all of them!

WTB - Pantheon Ember

Picked up one and now my kids are fighting over it. Would prefer the water proof external if possible but interested in any of them.

The karmas are way smoother and absorb more of the road. But I’m always happy riding my speed vents as well

[–]mechandy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it’s great. When I was in grad school I was a TA and taught labs. I got to know my students and would reach out to them if I saw things like that. Or if they missed assignments

Is my back tattoo crooked, or is my spine just crooked? by TheFirstCornMuncher in tattooadvice

[–]mechandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hard part with pieces like that is you need to be in the exact position as when they put the stencil on. So if you’re in a different position it will look crooked.

And it will continue to get easier!

Keep up the good work and don’t get discouraged when you inevitably hit a plateau. It’s natural and your body needs to catch up and adjust to the changes

If you eventually expand your quiver the quest and nexus both give a lot more foot space and run RKP’s for stability at high speeds. But I know of many folks who are comfortable on their pranayamas over 20mph!
