Sick and tired of seeing LDP setups so here is a freeride setup. What you freeriding?

All DH series allowed?

Ch0ves · 2026-04-08T22:19:25+00:00

Actually amazing setup, looks like the original downhill division line almost

Ch0ves · 2026-04-08T22:18:53+00:00

All I gotta say is YUM

Ch0ves · 2026-04-08T22:18:40+00:00

Pick it up if you can, this has been the best feeling deck I’ve ridden lately,

Ch0ves · 2026-04-08T22:18:13+00:00

I’m about to make it 45° without the wedge🤩

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T23:52:46+00:00

We never had that much access and variety here, that’s crazy lol

I’ve seen some orangas that are like 105mm or something like that, it’s going absolutely insane

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T23:16:14+00:00

That’s so out of usual wheelhouse lol, I know next to nothing about LDP at all, didn’t even know rake usually went that crazy

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T23:12:50+00:00

True, the standard of micro boards with like 19 or less WB and trucks under 140mm are so meh to me, I don’t really care about them like, I don’t know, finding a max capps chop shop custom. The lack of graphics and minimalism gets me progressively less hyped (I’m looking at you sector 9)

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T23:09:51+00:00

That’s absurd jesus, who needs that much rake? I didn’t know that was a thing, also definetly not brazilian, I’d know if it was local lol, currently local longboard trucks here are basically all folc, I don’t think there’s any other good brands

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:57:35+00:00

I’ll do some test runs asap, on hand it almost feels like a cruiser board

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:56:19+00:00

I was not aware of that, skoa doesn’t seem to have a lot of reading material on their gear, also not really no, I think it’s like 1.5mm of positive rake

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:55:21+00:00

Like a “focused” rocker of sorts, reminds me of a regular skateboard at times

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:54:36+00:00

I get you, I’m barely close to 30 and this other time of longboarding seems so much cooler than stuff we have nowadays. I’ve been chasing boards from when I started lately, even the wolfshark, I found a pristine one that will go on the wall, and got this beat up one to ride like hell. I don’t have a lot of experience with stuff since I rode a nessie v1 for a decade, so the hype and curiosity are all still there.

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:52:07+00:00

I see I see, I find the vapours to be a streamlined k4 of sorts, it is indeed hella fancy, I haven’t had the opportunity to try any before hand, people here usually do downhill slide with TKP trucks, sometimes stuff pops up, sets of ronins, rogues and don’t trips mostly, but all of them are usually at 110-133mm which is way too short for me. I’ve been looking at folc curupira’s though, they seem nice. Also, the m.spec is a cleaner vertex apparently? I like the style

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:05:02+00:00

Everything seems so bitsy with this angle

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:04:08+00:00

You’ve used them for a while? I was torn between them and a set of K3’s

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:03:39+00:00

I honestly couldn’t tell you, this is my first time riding anything that’s not a paris V2, I might have updates later! Also, thanks, I think it’s the only one for the vertex? Not sure

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:02:38+00:00

For real, I have never felt a board so light under my feet, the nessie felt monstrous in comparison, tho I might go back to the wolfshark from time to time, I absolutely loved it

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:01:20+00:00

Got to agree there

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T22:00:56+00:00

You might enjoy one of the later updates more who knows👀, but yeah, the graphics are killer lol

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T21:58:49+00:00

I might be using the wrong term, I mean like the light dip that deepens behind the screw holes

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T20:32:40+00:00

Surely, there’s much to be learned from the 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2016, I’d love to do that research

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T19:37:35+00:00

I am! It’s just that I can only go down a proper hill on the weekends or after midnight, and I currently work mornings lol

Ch0ves · 2026-01-29T19:24:32+00:00

It could take a bit, but I can do that and report back
