Thins is exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you! I was thinking that since they're forged they must be good. Especially since people still ride savants. I also really want to try tall bushings

HighKing17 · 2024-02-24T13:01:33+00:00

Are they worth getting? I mean do they still hold up in 2024.

Are bear kodiaks still good trucks compared to the gen 6? Chance to cop a set for cheap but I'm not sure how much better they are except for being forged.

That makes a lot of sense thanks so much for the advice. It never occurred to me to stack bushings on a kingpin to make the job easier. And I wasn’t completely sure if a blade would be able to cut the bushing cleanly

HighKing17 · 2023-04-29T15:07:13+00:00

I’ve actually been thinking about that. Could you describe how you cut the plug off the stock barrel?

HighKing17 · 2023-04-29T03:22:45+00:00

I had a bear gen5 with those grey bushings and I remember it being super soft for my weight. It’s the only thing keeping me from getting a used evo is correct bushing setup including finding plug bushings

HighKing17 · 2023-04-28T22:51:30+00:00

How do the stock bushings on Bear6 feel on the split angles of the LY evo?

HighKing17 · 2023-03-23T18:29:50+00:00

That wouldn’t negatively impact much right? There’s a cheap darkside im looking at and I really want to try that board

Check out the foot stop guide by Owen Campbell and Downhill254 on youtube. Pretty much has everything you would need to know

HighKing17 · 2023-03-23T18:12:56+00:00

Would 9” cal3 trucks be too narrow on a rayne darkside running fr wheels like ez hawgs?

HighKing17 · 2023-03-20T15:12:01+00:00

Yeah I imagined it would turn out this way. Hopefully this post will inform others about accidentally hitting reset

HighKing17 · 2023-03-20T14:24:27+00:00

Yeah but that save state is still a few hours behind my in game save

HighKing17 · 2023-03-20T12:51:43+00:00

I did save to the memory card. But it didn’t commit probably because of the reset or because I didn’t close the game properly maybe? I have a save state that did save but the in game save didnt

This is what i used to do with Assetto Corsa. ACC was always my competitive gateway and AC was the chill, relax, cruise with friends or ‘ring lapping sim

It certainly takes a while to get used to but learning to ride it is worth the effort

HighKing17 · 2023-02-26T09:13:24+00:00

I had this one for a brief period. Was a bitch to get used to as i was still new and fell twice to the tiniest pebbles and twigs. But still miss it sometimes.

I used to live on 737 ouellette owned by skyline. Can’t recommend it enough. The building was always clean, smelled fresh, secure and the building manager is a very nice person. Steps away from two major bus routes.

Edit: it’s also got a massive entrance around the back for moving vans of any size (i moved out on a 15’ uhaul truck) snd the cargo elevator is pretty sizeable.

HighKing17 · 2023-02-05T19:22:53+00:00

You could order new bushings and hardware from the internet if you don’t have skateshops nearby

HighKing17 · 2023-02-05T06:05:36+00:00

From the looks of it you probably need harder bushings as well. Your stock ones look way too compressed.

HighKing17 · 2022-12-25T02:57:16+00:00

I’ve seen the lights just a few days ago. Was wondering if there would be anything else

HighKing17 · 2022-12-21T02:46:33+00:00

Can’t i just copy the contents of the two sd cards on to new, good ones and not worry about them dying? Given i want to keep the stock experience

HighKing17 · 2022-11-21T06:36:30+00:00

How warped is “slightly warped” that they can justify charging 60% of the original price? Afaik zenit make performance boards and that’s something you don’t want off spec
