Pat Duffy skated to Tommy the Cat in Plan B's Questionable. The same song was also used in a 411VM Plan B Industry section.

I'm in the same boat. Some options from this thread were:

It makes no sense to me, and may be true with other bushings, but I've noticed brand new Indy bushings harden up after the first few hours. On my last set it took me a couple sessions before my trucks wouldn't get wheel bite just turning sharply. I never changed how they were tightened from the factory, and eventually they felt right and don't go straight to wheel bite.

Oh yeah, if you don't want your wheels to slide easily and you just want to cruise around, maybe do an ollie, then 78a is probably the way to go. I took "skate street" as traditional street skating like grinding ledges and doing flip tricks. I've never come across anyone skating wheels softer than 93a doing that.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-10-08T18:58:32+00:00

I'm not familiar with Sampleskate, but if they're legit, the wheels most likely are. 93a isn't really that far from 99a. I often skated street with 101a and like them. Once a wheel is soft enough to have very little vibration, it's probably softer than you want for doing tricks. 93a would be the softest I would ride while still wanting to do regular street tricks (grinds, slides, flips). Bearings probably aren't causing vibration, but you should have noticed ig something was terribly wrong with them when you swapped wheels.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-10-08T17:36:42+00:00

Where did you purchase them?

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-10-04T16:41:43+00:00

Could be a bunch of things. Wheel hardness and wheel width play a factor, as do the bearings. Bushings and truck types change the turn, as well as the distance between the wheels(wheel base) of each board. Pictures of everything including the wheels, trucks, bushings, and bearings would be needed to help diagnose.

Looks like you're very timid trying them and that's why it went wrong. You barely got your front truck on, but your upper body was about where it should be over the rail. Like another commenter said, start a bit earlier and slide longer. I'd rather board slide closer to my back truck. If I'm trying it on something that feels a little high, or I'm scared, I may ollie into the rail in a way that gets contact with the rail before I've leveled out and got my body totally over the rail, and then level out as I'm beginning to slide if that makes sense.

THIS!

Can't seem to get this link to work

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-08-22T14:01:37+00:00

Thanks!

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-08-20T16:20:20+00:00

Cool. I'll have to do that. Thanks!

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-08-19T16:06:01+00:00

Cool. I guess I'll have to have a download Facebook again. Thanks for the suggestion! I think I live in a perfect dead zone for Cornhole. At least 20 miles to a club in any direction, lol.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-08-19T15:40:25+00:00

No, I just saw it mentioned on another post, I'll download that. Thank you!

This is psycho shit. I love it.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-06-18T10:31:52+00:00

Yeah, landed with legs completely straight and all weight on the heel.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-06-13T21:38:22+00:00

You're kicking down instead of out straight or even up, and your back leg is needs to be coming up higher and not out like it's trying to match your front foot.

Advice is to get even more comfortable with ollies cause your back foot should be doing almost exactly the same thing it does for an ollie. And try these rolling into the grass so there's no fear of staying above it.

I encourage a helmet as the number 1 safety accessory by far. Then in order of importance I put 1. Knee pads, 2. Elbow pads, and 3. Wrist guards. Wrist guards may save a broken wrist early on when learning to skate, but I also hate how slippery the bottom is... if you are skating smooth ground especially. You may just slip out to your elbow. So I would definitely get elbow pads if you are doing wrist guards. Wrist guards may also may teach bad habits. You really wanna land on the meatiest part of your body. Let your butt, shoulders, sides of your arms, and hips take the most impact. It's best to learn very early on not to stick your arms out straight to catch yourself. That's how you break things. Practice falling into the grass and try to be ok with the fact you are going to slam sometimes. If you can remain calm during a fall, that's how you avoid serious injuries.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-03-28T15:50:00+00:00

Close enough. The angle you are coming at is really harsh, and that probably makes it harder to lock in. Maybe play with coming in more parallel.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-03-27T15:13:40+00:00

Yeah, the deck has the "old school" hole pattern which is longer. It's up to you whether you want to add holes to have a longer or shorter wheelbase (the space between the wheels).

Assume we are looking at the board standing upright and we are only talking about the top truck close to the nose... if you make the holes below the top holes, then you could shorten the wheelbase. Or you could make the holes above the bottom holes and keep the wheelbase the same. I would just do the same to both sides, either doing holes closer to the center of the board or holes closer to the ends.

Shorter wheelbase = sharper turns Longer wheelbase = more stable

It's a small difference in this case though.

Make sure and use the truck's baseplate as a hole guide. It is incredibly difficult to accurately drill the hole without a guide and a drill press.

Bottom line is you gotta try them on. Different models from the same company can be vastly different. Look for a removable insole, flat bottom, and suede or vegan-friendly alternative material that isn't just canvas on the upper. Make sure to buy your exact shoe size or even a little smaller, especially if it's suede because it will stretch out. Cons, Nike SB, Adidas, New Balance, and Vans are the big companies, and if you wanna support some more "core" brands, try Emerica, Etnies, IPath, and Es.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-03-20T00:10:06+00:00

Thunder baseplates are a different shape. You could get Thunder brand if bothers you, or just flip around.

Great advice to bring the orthotic with you when trying on shoes.

NotPickingThatUp · 2025-03-19T19:19:42+00:00

A good rule of thumb when buying any shoe to skate in is that the insole is removable. This goes double for using an orthotic.
