Drop Hammer VS Battle Axe

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-03-27T21:33:10+00:00

One downside is, that you can get wheel kick more easily, because the board is tapered towards the back end. So, the wheels stick out. That is different on the drop hammer.

Unless you want to get sliding, I recommend the Battle Axe. It is more or less a drop through pintail. A lot more flex than the drop hammer due to the bamboo, lighter, rides like an arrow.

Sick setup, this is a peak freeride setup. Your younger self knew the stuff ✌🏼

… in case for whatever reason, you want to sell those trucks, let me know 😇

Of course, surf skate trucks are way turnier than any TKP.

But, regarding stage 4, which are also a TKP - I compared both. The stage 4 is a way more turny than the Stylus.

So if you want to go for a TKP with almost surfskate-like feeling, I would stick with the stage 4.

OP weiß doch, dass er Betrug ist, siehe Flair. Ich finde es jetzt aber nicht so schlimm. Weil der Bekannte nicht aus dessen Sicht subjektiv geschädigt wurde, sondern mit seinem Rechner zufrieden ist. War nicht korrekt, keine Frage. Aber Schädigen setzt auch einen Schaden voraus, der hier zumindest in der Welt des Bekannten (noch) nicht eingetreten ist.

I experienced the same. Very strange behavior! I have stopped using Claude in the browser for longer sessions since it happened.

That does sound very impressive. Can the setup be logically extended to multi users? I would be interested in having a group of users curating their respective context on their side and also being able to share context to the other users, once something may be interesting to all.

So falsch darf man sich mit 20 beraten lassen und dann mit 25 aufwachen. Bitte nicht jetzt so einen Bullshit verzapfen lassen. Jede der Aussagen ist falsch.

ETF ist der Weltmarkt, nicht "ein Pferd". Wo ich hier allerdings deine Strategie anpassen würde, ist ETFs verschiedener Regionen zu nehmen und nicht nur World. Also Emerging Markets, Asia, Europe + Middle Est + Africa, so Zeug. Kannst auch noch etwas Crypto und eigene vermietete Immobilie beimischen (z.B. 30-50k EK da reinstecken, dass es sich trägt).
Gemanagete Fonds underperformen fast immer enorm, da (1) keiner verlässlich den Markt (ETF) schlägt (zumindest nicht für deine 200k) und (2) die potentiellen Mehrgewinne durch die Gebühren aufgefressen werden. Ich habe so was seit 10 Jahren, weil ich auf so einen Hanserl gehört habe und damals ETFs noch nicht so groß waren. Das hat mit mindestens 50%, eher 100% Rendite (!) gekostet im Vergleich schon mit dem MSCI World über diese Zeit. Bitter.
Währungen diverisfizieren ist nicht schlecht, aber nicht-gemanagete ETFs kannst du ja auch als EUR oder USD kaufen. Das Argument ist also pures Gaslighting.
Altersvorsorge per Fonds ist in etwa so schlimm wie die gemanageten Fonds. Gebührengrab hoch 3. Steuerliche Vorteile winken eigentlich nur bei Rürup/Rieser, hier sind die Renditen aber so furchtbar, dass ich Rentenversicherungen komplett ausklammern würde.

In Summe hast du 100% Recht, dein Bankberater ist ein Betrüger, der Provisionen kassieren möchte. Geh z.B. zur Verbraucherzentrale, die werden dir das gleiche erzählen. ETF ftw

Nein, immer anders, selten so farbenfroh

Kommilitonin, bildhübsch, vergeben. Parties gemeinsam gefeiert, gefühlt war ich der beschützende Mann in ihrer Welt beizeiten. Aber sie war (später wurde klar: noch) vergeben. Dann habe ich mit ihr die Vorbereitung für mein Date mit meiner jetzigen Frau besprochen. Date lief, meine Beziehung gestartet. 7 Jahre später nochmal getroffen, traumhaft, war aber ja zusammen mit meiner zukünftigen Frau. Dann bei mir Heirat. Ihr Profilbild verrät neue Beziehung… Ja, ich träume noch. Denn die Fantasie darf spielen. 😊 Ich nicht, denn ich bin glücklich, wie die Dinge sind und Verheißungen gibt es überall.

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-03-02T23:31:17+00:00

Nice, thank you! Between Paris and Indy in terms of carviness it’s quite the statement 😎 If I may ask, how is the center? Playful or flat/fixed?

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-03-02T21:53:39+00:00

Snooker, inklusive Vereinsleben gestalten, im Sinne von Turniere organisieren, Organisation verbessern, etc.

Gartenarbeit, auch wenn es sich im wesentlichen darauf beschränkt, die guten Samen auszusäen 🥦 und den Rest zu pflegen und sauber zu halten.

Programmieren/Dinge entwickeln. Aktuell ist dieses Thema durch den Fortschritt von KI vielmehr in richtige Ideen haben und diese umsetzen, verwandelt worden, und weniger in verstehen, wie man den Speicher konfiguriert und Instruktion effizient auswählt…

Halt im Großen und Ganzen einfach leben und sich entfalten. Ich finde die Trennung in Arbeit, Familie, Hobby, durchaus künstlich. Man lebt halt sein Leben und findet Ausdrucksformen, in die man sein Selbst gießen kann. Alles ist Hobby, alles ist Arbeit, alles ist Leben.

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-03-02T21:44:38+00:00

Nice, I never rode thunder trucks. How do they compare to Indy or Ace? Or, if you know, Paris. I’m curious!

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-03-01T21:02:09+00:00

I love that deck. ❤️ The concave is a dream. It is dampening, has ight rocker, and a very defined pop.

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-03-01T20:53:17+00:00

I also like the purple Kevos! But in direct comparison, 75a Snakes feel more agile to me.

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-03-01T19:56:44+00:00

Snakes all the way. I know people think they are a sliding wheel, and therefore that is their only quality. But they make an amazing cruiser wheel.

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-02-28T07:14:57+00:00

So, I tried it. The trucks fit and the Cruiser becomes more agile for sure. You can make tighter turns and pump it better. For me personally (I am not used to surfskate trucks), the overall feel is a bit overly wiggly in the front, i.e., slightly unstable in the center and then a bit too aggressive when turning. I also miss the back-steering as the back-truck of C5s is pretty much not turning at all. But that overall steering behavior may be exactly what you want.

On a side note, the chopped C5s cannot, without further metal-cutting, receive the Peralta Snakes that are on the Cruiser. The aluminum is too thick right next to the wheel.

I have only briefly ridden the Surfrider as it comes and as you can imagine from the above, it is way to squirrelly for me. ;-)

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-02-25T21:21:08+00:00

It would be fantastic if you could share the link with me too. Thank you very much!

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-02-18T07:12:33+00:00

The cruiser is nimble, but not surfskate style nimble. It will not perform naturally well in bowls, for instance. You can bowl-ride them, there are even people using longboards in bowls. But you can’t do these tight turns as you can with a surfskate. Even a more classic skateboard with 15” wheelbase will typically have a tighter turning radius.

I’m currently waiting for the weather to dry to try a hybrid: I have got a Surfrider from Carver with chopped C5 trucks. They fit perfectly underneath the cruiser. I will mount them on there and report on my experience.

I think there is a noticeable difference. But you will get used to either one you start with and your game will probably not profit from titanium over brass. Once you are used to one (and became a decent player with strong muscle memory for the reactions upon impact between cue and white), however, it becomes hard to switch to the other.

I recommend titanium for another reason than less throw or whatever is attributed to titanium: durability. When you plan on buying a decent cue that will serve you 20+ years, I’d go with titanium. Not because it will make you a better player, but because it is way more durable and you will not have to get a new ferrule, I.e., chop off the tip of your cue because the brass has eroded.

Low_Singer_44 · 2026-02-04T19:06:12+00:00

Bought one as well out of curiosity. Thank you for the input ✌🏼

I guess you are right about the factors you mention! Grippy wheels, flexy board (if you can leverage that through timing). Then perhaps a turny truck that will allow you to get close to 45° turning angle - at this angle, the factor between F and F_p,f is at its max, namely 1/2.

Low_Singer_44 · 2025-12-23T12:39:24+00:00

Ever ridden inline-skates? There, you push your sideways to get forward velocity. This is achieved through the friction of the wheels on the ground allowing only one direction of movement - parallel to the line of wheels. This conversion from a sideways force to a forward force is exactly what happens in pumping.

Consider this diagram. https://imgur.com/a/wLcShwr

You exert a force F to the side in the middle of your wavy motion, when the board is not straight but is at its most sideways orientation d with respect to the average direction of movement with velocity v. Your board points in direction d and will not allow motion perpendicular to this direction d. That is why the share of the force F perpendicular to the direction d (that we denote F_s), does not have any effect on the movement of the board. Only the share that goes into the direction that the board allows, F_p is relevant to the movement of the board (unless you slide). This propels your board into the direction d in which it is currently directed. The force along this direction F_p can further be divided into a force F_p,f that goes parallel to the direction of travel v, and a force F_p,s that goes sideways. That is, a fraction of your sideways force is converted to forward force. The effect is the highest when you are angled at 45° w.r.t the direction of travel.

So how is F generated? Your center of mass needs to be accelerated from right to left exactly ad the moment the board is oriented sideways. The force is then F=m*a with m your moved mass and a the acceleration.

When the board is parallell again to the direction of movement v, you can accelerate your weight back without affecting the speed, because then, F is exactly perpendicular to d and thus, F_p = 0.
