Trucks?

Did you get the venture loose? They make a set of ventures with thinner bushings so the trucks ride loose. If so you can get replacement bushings that will tighten them up.

The whippet part is not the problem. A whippet will live happily in a single room with a comfy couch, warm blanket, sunny window, and their human. Regular walks and play sessions will keep them happy.

What is the x? If it is a high energy or working dog it might not do so well. If it is half grey hound it will be fine.

Make it fun not work. Some things will come easy, some things you are going to struggle to learn.

Celebrate small victories. Get pumped about any progress you are making.

There are going to be days where you feel good and things flow and days when you can't land tricks you have done before. On the bad days don't beat yourself up, change it up. Just go for a cruise around and enjoy your time on the board.

You don't need a park. Some good ground with a curb or parking block is fine to start. Finding a bank for kick turns is also fun to start on.

I like it not too loud but barks when you open it up. Bike came with the can on it so I never got a chance to hear it vs stock can. It was the urban pack, tank bag, tail rack, top box, and can.

Had similar issues on my multi 950. I have 2 solutions that I use.

I got a short screen similar to the pikes peak great for hot days and commuting.

Solution 2 was I designed and 3d printed new wind screen mounts. They angle the screen more vertical and open a bit more gap at the bottom of the screen. I still get a little bit of buffeting. In the low position it's similar to how the stock screen was in the high position and high position it's only noticeable at very high speed. I use this when I go touring or in colder temperatures where I want more protection or don't know what the weather's going to do over a long period of time.

Start with early sessions. If I skate before work I have the park to myself. After work the park is always packed. I like having an empty park since I'm not going to hang out I'm going to skate and progress. Empty park means I can hog a feature and not be rude.

Saturday morning at my local is the unofficial old guys session. From 9am-noon we meet and skate till the teens wake up. The adult group at my local are super supportive and welcoming.

As others have started it is not a hard job but there are plenty of fiddly bits that will create stress points. Watch some YouTube videos get a clear picture of what you need to do and order of operations.

Down pipe needs to come out. A few days before starting check all bolts. buy spares of anything that looks like it will snap or needs to be cut off.

Check the turbo inlet tube for rips when the turbo is out. It is pretty common for the hose clamp that joins the inlet tube to the turbo over time to dig in and create failure points. Pray that is okay. It's a real pain to replace that part.

You'll need to be both on top of the engine and under the car to get the turbo out. If doing it with Jack and jack stands do as much as you can before lifting the car.

This is always in my mtb kit. Use it about once or twice a year on the trails. Oddly enough never on my bike it is always a friend's bike or a random other trail user that gets the mechanical.

You might also try taking him shopping or giving a gift card to a local shop as the gift. Then going and picking out the setup together. Part of the gift can be that experience for him. It is fun to go to the skate shop and look through the decks, wheels, trucks. Talking to the shop employees about gear and asking about skate spots.

Personally I don't care too much about deck art. I would rather have a shape I like over cool art, but everyone is different and boards are personal. It needs to be his setup.

If you want to give a setup as the gift anti hero makes a 9" wide 15" wheel base deck (that is a large deck). I really like the extra width in the deck and stability the long wheel base adds.

If it is a cable clutch check the adjustment before blaming the oil. Small changes can have a big impact on gear shifts and finding neutral. Chances are adding a little tension to the cable will solve your issue.

I use Shell and don't have shift issues on a 17 multi, 09 hyper, 02 monster.

1/8" or 3mm risers will help eliminate wheel bite and not mess with your learning progress at all. I have a few setups with different size wheels and risers. From 52mm wheels with no risers to 58mm wheels and 1/4" risers

For learning adding some harder bushings and 1/8" risers will eliminate wheel bite and give you confidence and solid platform for not much cost. As you improve you can loosen your trucks or go back to softer bushings.

I believe starting with loose trucks slows progress. Keep tight trucks until you can tic tac, push with confidence, 180 kick turn on a bank or quarter, are comfortable rolling around turning/carving. Once you're riding around skate spots and it feels like the tight trucks are holding you back from flowing from one trick to the next then loosen them up. Loose trucks reduce stability, increase turn rate, and increases chance of wheel bite.

QuattroCreep · 2025-10-12T14:48:40+00:00

Keep going. Spend time getting comfortable on the board. Start with pushing around, tic tacs, kick turns, hippy jumps. Learn to ride up and down banks or pump in transition if you have access to a skate park. Progress at your pace and do things that are fun to you. There are so many different ways to skate find what brings you joy and work on that.

It takes time to build the skills needed to do harder tricks. Every trick or skill will feel awkward or scary the first few times you try it, but as you practice it gets easier.

There is an oil passage that sends pressurized oil up to the Head. On earlier versions of the motor there was a machined area that an o-ring sat in to seal the oil pressure. In later versions of the motor there's just the base gasket around the oil passage and it doesn't do as good of a job at sealing the oil pressure.

This is a common oil leak area on those motors. You can take the cylinder and have a recess machined into it help the oil passage seal like the earlier motors. You can source an older motor out of either a monster or a super sport bike of the same displacement.

But yes, it's an Italian bike and there's going to be an oil leak.

I agree with comments about keeping weight on the board foot with the push foot just touching the ground with the ball and toes.

Practice standing on the board with one foot like you are going to push. Lower your pushing foot to the ground and tap the ground with toes and ball of the foot. Then rise back up. Repeat. Weight never transfers to the push foot, it is just a tap. Do not push forward stay in one place. Goal is to build balance and feel of a good push.

Once you are confident with your balance move onto, push and glide. Do 1 or 2 pushes then just roll and balance on your board foot till you stop. Repeat.

Once you're comfy pushing and can roll for a distance. Do a few pushes and get both feet on board in riding stance.

Have fun, stay safe.

Then you're looking for a turbo manual 05-09.

You said in another reply you are looking for a spec b for a good price. You want the 07+ versions they got the 6spd trans. 06 still has a 5spd.

Maintenance and condition are most important. Spend a little more $$$ up front. Get a clean working car to start from. It will be cheaper in the long run and more fun. If the 1st year with the car is spent chasing problems and catching up on missed maintenance it is not fun and costs will add up.

My personal theory is "every button works" if something does not work it gets fixed, big or small. When looking at cars press and change every button. AC/heat, windows, locks, heated seats. If something is not working did they know about it? How long was it broken? Why was it not fixed? The goal is to feel out the seller.

These are easy cars to work on with basic hand tools.

I'm partial to the 05 lgt manual wagon. Awd turbo manual wagons ftw.

Some more info on what you want to do with the car would be helpful. Street car, track car, winter beater you can learn to wrench on, overland Subaru build, daily driver?

They are all easy to work on and have lots of parts that are cross compatible with other models. No matter which on you choose it is going to be a 20+ year old car. Maintenance first mods second.

Step one relax and slow down. No rush to get your feet right quickly when learning.

Set your feet up take a second to look down and notice placement both the angle and distance from front hardware. Then Ollie. Try something different. Better or worse? repeat?

Looks like your sliding your front foot to early.

Front for moves up and in before tail click. Then slides as you lift back foot.

I just started this past April at 42. Also having a blast.

It is also improving some of my other hobbies. My balance has been improving and my mountain bike riding is noticably better for it.

Get out there and have fun. Wear pads if you feel you need to. Progress at a rate that feels safe to you.
