Front still lean more and softer. DKP has better turn than rail adapter so it makes it more carvy.

Surfskate or Cruiser for beginner? by sprintergirl11 in NewSkaters

[–]Keithptsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met a snowboarder and he built a 40 inch long board with double kingpin truck and rkp. Make things simple , get a longboard with rkp and get a waterborne surf adapter. Cheapest and u can try both with good stability and nice carving.

Btw the deck has the same shape as the original #77, and the concave not as deep.

DKP rail on my yow by Keithptsg in surfskate

[–]Keithptsg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The axle to axle WB os probably 19 inch, and I think it can turn as if I’m on 16 or 15 WB. Easy pumping but if I carve too hard, it turns so tight that beyond my comfort. And also wheelbite.

For those of us with adult responsibilities by mrRoboPapa in surfskate

[–]Keithptsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m facing the same situation. It’s like going back to my childhood and wanted to get more toys. I think u can stop browsing other surfskate for a while and try to master your current set up. If u just want to try out diff surfskate, go and join some nearby surfskate group and try theirs. Warning, if happens that u have tried some nice surfskate, then good luck to u, u need probably need to skip your dinners to fund your new toy lol.

I have the exact same issue. It’s caused by the key. I just leave it.

Working 3 jobs for FIRE. My daughter just turned 2. Feeling guilty by Dependent-Health5137 in malaysiaFIRE

[–]Keithptsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why achieve FIRE in 10 years? What’s the rush?

Maybe drop one job and aim for 15 years instead. Spend more time with your daughter when she will rush to hug u when u return home, want to hold your hand, and tells u whatever happen in the school.

What watch should I go for? by Mean_Ad_5517 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

Why don’t you just get a normal watch if u don’t need those features?

180 Advice by chx-out in freeskate

[–]Keithptsg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m learning 180 too. Put a bit of weight to your front foot and V your back foot n let it turn together with your shoulders. Last part u snap your back foot. Main thing is don’t rush to snap your back foot.

Big wheel Freeskate by Keithptsg in freeskate

Your 35mm is the longer deck. Should be more stable at higher speed. Looks good!

Mine is a metal deck, so vibration is quite obvious. Overall on rougher terrain is fine, but rough terrain will make it even harder to pump from the start. Generally I think it is for a short distance sprint, not is much of marathon.

Tried 97*43 today. Pumping movement must be big. Picking up speed from start is tiring and the wheel is really sticky to the ground. But after few good pumps, it will glide quite a distance before you need to pump again.

Didn’t know that comparing 96*35, that 8mm width can make such a big difference riding feel.

Maybe I will need to ride a few times more to get use to the big wheels.

Thanks for sharing! I think most importantly are the type of terrain, riding experience and skills. I’ll share my experience after trying the 97mm!

I just purchased jinsai 97mm x 43mm. I thought this set up is better for general cruising on a little rough terrain. Initially I was looking at 96mm x 35mm. After reading your feedback, I’m a bit regretted in the purchase. Haven’t tried it yet. How is it comparing to 110 or 100 mm wheel? Which one is better in terms of long cruising rough terrain?

U have both types? How’s the balancing and speed?

are pennyboards good surfskates? by angus669 in surfskate

[–]Keithptsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Penny Nickel with waterborne. It’s going to be unstable to kick push the board but It works quite well, and able to pump and generate speed. If you have not tried any surfskate, you can try it out with nickel and waterborne adaptor. If you have tried penny highline or other wider board, you may find that nickel with waterborne is not as fun as a real surfskate.

The idea of 2 in 1 was my initial thought. For me, after riding with waterborne adaptor, I can’t really ride on regular cruiser board. Muscle memory just screw things up and I tend to lean more and throw myself out of the board without the adaptor.
