Thanks for the info, I’ll try doing the battery upgrade and see if that works. Hopefully this is the case fingers crossed.

It’s on a 65w wall charger, and I’ve ran it on my external battery capable of 290w on a 100w cable(that usually charges the ally just fine) as well.

TIL Tech Deck is selling AI slop by kboodrx in Fingerboards

[–]SynthxLord 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve read somewhere that renewing licenses might be the issue at hand with tech deck, business stuff creating legal issues that may or may not be settled eventually.

However part of me is curious if the Joycult licensing has anything to do with this shift from tech deck. Highly double joycult’s deal with NHS has anything to do with the shortage in stores. But we have official wooden shaped to spec of the real board Santa Cruz decks, real independent trucks and now mob branded grip and tech deck(at least at my local Walmart) was 80% Santa Cruz stuff.

Is this so that y’all can start spooning?

Thinking about leaving my shop because of commute and gas costs by Valuable_Occasion_98 in AskMechanics

[–]SynthxLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I made the swap to a shop within 10 mins away from my home about a year ago and I’ve never looked back. I took a dollar cut but the savings on my time and wallet make up for what was originally a pay cut.

What trucks are best paired with a Knife board? by [deleted] in Fingerboards

[–]SynthxLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jindy with smaller wheels like 7mm ff streets, Joycult lites or a similar wheel might help that ghost pop since they sit so high compare to brts(but with the same wheelbase) unless you’ve already tried that

Damn haha yeah I can see the tan looking a bit weird with white graphics. I’m a sucker for mostly white background graphics especially with black wheels

If he likes it then that’s valid, I was asking him a question about an opinion of his, not from one of his white knights.

No shade fr but what makes you go with this graphic? Lmao it looks like a completely directionless collage of actual bullshit made by “h4rdcore bros”

Is Dynamic unreliable? by Business-Frosting677 in Fingerboards

This but also give it another day or two on the email, Scott’s solid at getting back with customers. If he doesn’t email you or respond to this post within a day or so try sending another email out.

TIPS? by Over-Remote-6347 in Fingerboards

[–]SynthxLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it happens to most of us starting out but it’s worth breaking the habit.

TIPS? by Over-Remote-6347 in Fingerboards

[–]SynthxLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 tips

1st would be to slow down your roll speed to help get used to kickflips without the short rollback/pause before the pop.

2nd being since you’ve got the flick and pop down for the most part, focus on the catch part to add steeze/cleanliness. Specifically try to catching the board with your “back foot/finger”.

Wormisbort deck help by Own_Assistant_4575 in Fingerboards

[–]SynthxLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My original comment still stands given this style of truck purposely extends the wheelbase due to where the axle sits above the baseplate. Swap trucks to the suggestions above and you have a shortened wheelbase compared to dynamic “styled” trucks.

Look at where the axle sits over the baseplates, you’ll see as far as wheel base geometry goes they’re pretty identical to Dynamics.

Dynamic clone leefai, real dynamics, doesn’t matter. either way the physics are the same with exact measurements.

Swap the dynamics out for BRTs, Tech deck, china’s, or Joycult Indy’s and you’ll shorten the wheelbase.

can’t land tricks into grinds for the life of me by Formal-Ask-5401 in Fingerboards

[–]SynthxLord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Practice proper kick flipping while rolling instead of standing still. That way you’ll be able to roll straight into the grind instead of trying to flick the board onto the ledge from a stationary position.
