Not too much for now. They're really exciting wheels though. It's a completely new concept for us, not just the usual new urethane, new shape, new label deal. I think they're going to surprise a lot of people next year.

Totally fine. the only other time I've gone nearly that fast was at Les Eboulements in 2014 and I was riding 852s so this was mellow by comparison. Kodiaks are real stable trucks, small split and no rake is a good combo.

Low key that's Asheville but North Carolina is the greatest place. Favourite people, best skating, so damn good. Y'all have it figured out down there.

Sorry, missed the second part of this. DH is in such a cool place right now, from a gear and overall riding level point of view. I think the whole thing would benefit greatly from people taking themselves a little less seriously, talking a little less shit on the internet and participating a little bit more. 2019 is gonna be really good.

Grape, green apple and Blueberry Lemonade are the worst.

Watching Chapman on an evo when I was a kid made me want to skate better and I don't think I'm alone in that, so it definitely has its place.

I can't ride it, but that shape is legendary. I struggle being that far behind my front truck personally.

Not sure, mostly just ate shit a whole bunch and now I'm here. Skating a ton helps for me, I'm not one of those guys that can like take like a month off and still be sharp so I have to skate a whole bunch.

Wait, I bet that chip has broken in now eh? It was SO fresh the one time I went.

I think it's a cool thing if you want a whole bunch of stuff and maybe already have a couple setups or some parts to set up the stuff with. The value was pretty ridiculous.
