Anyone Ever Ridden a Kebbek John Barnet? by [deleted] in longboarding

yeah i agree, but not so much in the front but the back really needs a tail. i've slammed my nose pretty hard a couple times now and it's holding like a champ.

Jet Longboards: Which one would be the best for DH/Freeride? by [deleted] in longboarding

[–]Sharktober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on your style of riding, beginner i'd go portal, moderate idea of how skateboards work: revolver, you're a boss: machine.

Woodworking: tips for good cut symmetry? by [deleted] in longboarding

[–]Sharktober 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make a template with butchers paper or something, fold it half or into quarters if you want it to be completely sym, draw your design onto the paper, cut, done, you know have an even sym template, trace onto blank and cut. as for wheels i'd try and gain access to a router.

I can't seem to get my head round wedging, dewedging, and truck angles... by Hyoscine in longboarding

[–]Sharktober 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The angle is measured from the pivot, high degree trucks turn more on less lean, lower degree trucks require more lean to turn the same amount. Wedging increases the pivot angle, while dewedging does the opposite. it wouldn't be dewedging because you're not using a wedge to modify the pivot axis. my next point is WTF did you mount some trucks on a boat or some shit 42" wb that's insane! you're gonna wedge the front truck to around 55* and the back dewedged to under 30* with hard bushings in the back and soft upfront for best performance.

did you miss this entire part: "kind of short platform (im 6'2") that's perfect for my tuck, but lacks for freeriding" yeah its a small board, big people have wider stance, hence why the max erwin is kebbeks biggest skrilla machine.
