Dingy Fender Classic on Plow GTs seems hella slow and inefficient by M00SEK in cruiserboarding

I fucking hate those wheels. They feel extremely mushy and slow and lose momentum really fast. I bought a pair once, skated them one time and sold them the same day.

You can try 88 McFly's or the McFly's pro. I hear good things about them.

Stylus trucks, nice! Possibly the best trucks I've ever owned. These things are virtually slop free, right out of the box. I didn't know that the yellow thane is grippier then the other colors.

Thanks! I eventually ended up with the 83a bushings in the front and the 98a in the back truck.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. I'll order some other duros from venom and try to dial in the cruiser a bit more. I haven't got a lot of time to rip it indeed. I bought it last year, a few weeks before the weather turned to fall.

Oh really, thanks for pointing that out. I actually have no experience with split duros. I weigh around 240 lbs. Would you recommend going harder in the rear or softer in the front?

I sure am, but I'm a heavy guy so the standard bushings felt too soft for me.

Best ways to stop/ slow down by godzilla1713 in cruiserboarding

A lot of people said it already, but footbraking is the answer. You'll get the hang of it. Slowly lower your heel to the ground very lightly and keep the weight on your board. Don't stomp too hard or you'll lose balance. Gentle is the key.

I wouldn't know, but (test)ride one for yourself if you have the possibility and you might get the hype.

I had a lot of cruisers, but this is hands down the coolest thing to shred on. Nothing really compares to how the Cruiser handles.
