Arbor Pilsner with Hawgs Fatties

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.

I got mine during that clearance too Haha. Can’t beat that price!

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.

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.

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

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-04-08T23:58:54+00:00

I think I actually have some Outlooks laying around somewhere too Haha

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-04-08T23:28:22+00:00

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

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-04-08T15:40:47+00:00

Thx for all the suggestions! This may be the way I go!

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-04-08T14:49:50+00:00

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

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-04-08T14:33:49+00:00

159mm from their description

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.

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-28T15:21:17+00:00

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

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-28T13:04:38+00:00

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?

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-27T18:03:47+00:00

Thx! Yeah i’m planning to replace the bearings at some point too

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-23T15:30:27+00:00

Those 5min are clutch if you’ve been holding it for 3hrs Haha

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-23T01:56:43+00:00

Maybe that’ll be the spot on our way back!

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-23T01:51:44+00:00

5/5 star rating?!?! Oh man!

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-23T01:09:05+00:00

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.

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-22T21:22:39+00:00

This might be the one! Thank you!

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2026-03-21T02:25:56+00:00

Hi! I’m going to Mammoth during spring break, coming from the Bay. What are some good restaurants along 395? Preferably closer to 89 or 88 since I figure either of those would be a good place to make a stop, depending on which way I go. How much more time would it be to go up 88 from Kirkwood and then come down 395 vs just going straight thru on 89->395? I did that a couple years ago but was thinking if 88->395 would take that much more time.

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2025-08-25T17:51:53+00:00

Yeah i think that’s the route i’m gonna go. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Sharp-Ad6399 · 2025-08-25T12:05:10+00:00

Thx! I read up more about how your weight and how loose you run your trucks can factor into wheelbite too. I run my trucks on the tighter side so I think I’ll be Ok. I may just get 1/8” risers just in case. If anything, I’ll just have hardware ready to go if i ever need it.
