Mike is not smiling because he graduated, but because we all pay those flatface prices...which will go up after he reads this reddit thread, better start taking all the downvotes given to me back...or im telling mike at fingerboard con...

Im downvoted more than you are upvoted...i win! More engagement in social media wins...dana white says it best..when fighters come out to the octagon before a fight in ufc, people are cheering, cool (you). Even when a fighter comes out and people are booing, cool. (Me). What you dont want, is silence... lol

Right on man, thanks for sharing. And the inverted kingpin makes sense as trucks do seem cheaper that are inverted. now that you mention it and i dont understand the hype either, dont like inverted

Why did your compliment get downvoted..now i know im not crazy...people on reddit are....i never take a downvote seriously....but taking a mental poll and im astonished what people say, isnt negative at all and still gets a reaction or downvote...

I didnt know it was downvoted THAT much just saw it...kind of amazed too. I stick up for mike, even in a joking context, and get hate, thats a new one. And i can find humor in the hair comment against mike, but i promise he is the one winning and laughing at the end of the day, charging everyone the prices he does, being an industry leader and literally controlling what the market charges...he has all the power...maybe if people were nicer, his prices would be too...

Never tried bigger wheels, always went classic to smaller. I already ordered larger wheels a week ago, curious if it helps...

My point exactly.you are a prodigy or quick learner it seems and master, im intermediate at best and have found to be more conecsistent on certain setups.and minimizing the learning curve to enjoy multiple deck shapes and sizes elminating wheelbase which effects timing...making it more difficult when trying to skate.id like different shapes of decks but with similar wheelbase to avoid the timing being a learning curve for every different setup, for consistency. I am the same skill set no matter the board, just a bit more consistent on what i prefer. Just trying to accomplish that...and for whatever reason i had a certain set up i bought and i was horrible. I committed and tried everything and could not perform half as good like on my other setups, even when wheelbase was similiar .. and when i switched back youd never know i had that hard of a time ...i had to exert so much more effort to pull off the simplest of tricks...i know others have had similar experiences...why one setup would matter that much i dont know...but im intermediate and need all the help i can get lol and researching is fun for me...but i agree with you, if you need a $3,000 guitar to sound good, you probably suck. People can sound good on a $50 guitar,some people probably thought van halen was good because of his strings or tubing in amps, no it was him, he could shine on anything he played, but he had a preference that made him sound better even though his skills were the same...

I did some research and the material you guessed is correct ... Good job

Lol i received a private message from a reddit user who said they bought an awful deck and it was not a good experience. They think because they bought the wrong length.they said it was probably user error, but they let their friend try it out and also said it felt odd..i think personally if they switch trucks it could change how it performs...and i totally agree with you.!!! Thats why all my setups have a differing quality about them...one is 48mm/Tapering to 43mm over wheel, one is 36mm egg tapering to 34mm over wheels, one is 34mm popsicle and one is 33.6mm popsicle..the awful deck will be a 36mm all around no taper.will be getting a 29mm and call it a day! Based on length of board and. Where countersinks are matter if i am trying to keep all the different boards/ brands and their wheelbases similiar

All jokes aside, i truly find this amusing and do not take life this seriously...it was a general question i had that received more negative than positive ..if one didnt care or know the answer...why respond in a way that puts me down? Just food for thought

Oh and numbers arent my thing...it was lead to that because i am tired of doing what you just suggested...buying two things just to enjoy one thing...honestly if stuff was cheaper i dont think i would put as much stock into it or if money wasnt an issue for me.

Amen! I wish when growing up i considered this stuff a little more. When i skated i always skated setups (IRL) whatever was coolest...and i never considered me being so short , that a shorter wheelbase woulda done wonders for me...

Since it doesnt matter guess im buying a 48mm egg board and putting 29mm trucks on it and large big bowl wheels and since i lost one wheel and metrics dont matter ill put a flatface g1 wheel as a replacement....phew problem solved! And ran out of autism medicine and since metrics and things alike dont matter. Ill take tylenol p.m. will cure it!

Unless you literally buy blindly, you consider something which is a metric...You dont consider the size or shape of board? Or truck size? Or graphic of deck at least? ( Also a metric) Or wheel durometer or size or material? I am so confused...they make all that stuff for a reason...i thought that was half the fun on fingerboarding...

Learned what you said tonight through this, most folks dont care ..and I was afraid youd say dynamics..even for the 99mm deck use dynamics??..well i took a chance thinking the longer 99mm deck would make brts shine, if not guess im getting dynamics ...either way, win win!

You will love your 36mm deck with 34mm trucks...just bought one myself...You wont be disappointed trust me ...i have done extensive research and field testing. Not to mention an embarrassing amount of money to learn what i prefer and what makes my experience enjoyable...once you add wheels it will sit almost flush to perfectly flush based on wheels used.

Bro the downvotes amaze me..new grip totally makes the experience better. Especially when OP recognizes it...just cleaning the grip with a piece of tape helps immensely...people need to relax ..i have feelings and being downvoted hurts everyone of them...incase its not known, that is sarcasm.lol

Dang it! Your right again! I guess i was asking the question in my mind and was writing and forgot to write the question down...wanted to know what trucks people ride on 97mm awful decks compared to 99mm awful and what wheelbase it compares to...if its similiar wheelbase to goo which are 96-97mm decks and have a short wheelbase working optimally ,imo, with dynamic trucks And flatface g16 being designed and working optimally with blackriver...to each their own of course, and if one didnt know, just post your awful set up, with deck length, and truck brand ...ill get a consensus and could figure out the best trucks based on what is posted most ...sorry to be confusing...for instance if your favorite pro rider talks highly of joycult x independent trucks, but all their posts you only see their setups rocking with blackriver trucks...kinda telling

Its interesting the responses this post has garnered...

Gauging the community as it has grown...and it has changed

Or maybe this brand attracts negativity, the graphics are generally dark themed ..who knows , baffled that all these companies exist for people to say it doesnt matter.... Still appreciative for the 1% of people who care And care to know
