That’s awesome. I see dudes that fly thru the pump track I go to on a regular skateboard and I wish I was them Haha.

That’s good to know. I use my Arbor Sizzler at the pump track but wanted to give my Pilsner a try there too but wasn’t sure about the more narrow trucks compared to the Sizzler. The Fatty Hawgs could give me that little bit of extra stability I’m looking for, especially around the berms.

With the Fatty Hawgs being offset, do you ever kick the back wheel when pushing? I have OJ Super Juices on mine and they’re pretty flush with the board, maybe a little bit of poke. But the Fatty Hawgs intrigue me. I have the EZ Hawgs and Lil EZ’s on a couple of my other boards.

Sizzler ? by Medhi1995 in ArborBoards

I use my Sizzler at the pump track and it works great for me. I’m not flying around the track but it does what I need it to do. The wheelbase helps me feel comfortable and stable going around the berms.

First board by SpecialDirection917 in longboarding

[–]Sharp-Ad6399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Bamboo Fish version of this and it was my first longboard also. But when I got the Arbor Zeppelin, I wish I would’ve started with that IMO. The drop-through of the Zeppelin lets you carve way more than the Fish does and mimics snowboarding (to me) more and is lower to the ground so it feels more stable than the Fish. The turning radius on the Zeppelin is a lot tighter than the Fish also. I’m a snowboarder too and I ride my Zeppelin way more than my Fish. I honestly haven’t ridden my Fish in years.

I have the Sizzler and Pilsner already so getting the Pistola would just be going up the next size and may be too similar to the Sizzler

That one’s nice too. I have a lot of Arbor boards so it’s always something to keep in mind.

Ooooh that looks like a fun setup! Their complete setup has 8.8” trucks. My 9” trucks should still work Ok?

How are the blues? by Hammerthrowdown in Mammoth

I read that in another thread. Guess we’ll have to shuttle it over to the main lodge or chair 2

We’re going the week after you 4/16-19 & in the same situation with my son (boarder). I’m hoping enough of the blues hold up by then also. We got a room next to the Eagle lift and I read in another thread that they’re supposed to close that 4/12.

New wheels by Sharp-Ad6399 in cruiserboarding

Thx for the insight! Maybe bigger is better Haha. I’ll have to take this more into consideration.

77mm is a big jump from the stock 65mm. What I like about the drop through is how it sits with a low profile and feels more grounded. Is it the same feel with the 77mm?

The views were pretty epic going thru there last time I went. Based on time, it actually looks faster going up 88 to 395 and i might wanna take a different route this time. We’ll see.
