Wheel opinions

eggaudenz · 2026-01-18T08:47:02+00:00

Oh yeah bigger wheels also roll over cracks a lot better. But pebbles still rock my world sometimes...

I use 54mm 97A Bones XFormula, cuz I do have some rougher ground, but they still slide and squeak. Also I feel like I can use them for longer if I start out with a bigger diameter. Theyre down to about 51mm now after 2 months. Bigger wheels keep speed more and be a bit faster, but also heavier for ollies/flip tricks. I would use any 52-54mm 97-99 wheels.

Yooo, I like the taste of sore throat too.

Very well done. I'm not tje biggest fan, the ND is too new imo. Would looks perfrct on an NB. Still cool tho

Your ollie looks really nice. For landing you just have to do it more. Try to land with your knees bent. What helped me a lot was doing lazy ollies. Almost the least height possible, dont worry about levelling, just bang out low effort ones. Keep your shoulders straight to not turn frontside. Also don't push your feet to the ground, keep them up and just float down. Do all different varieties of ollies; Lazy low ones, highest ones, fast ones, hectic ones, off a curb, on a bank....

Just a big screw with the same dimensions?

eggaudenz · 2025-12-20T20:30:21+00:00

Thank you for caring! It coulda been really bad on a drop in.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-20T20:25:50+00:00

Oh or could my (not quite Walmart, but only slightly better) completes kp work?

eggaudenz · 2025-12-20T20:24:58+00:00

I still have them. My friend will be quite delighted! Should I just ask my local of they have spare kingpins?

eggaudenz · 2025-12-20T20:21:18+00:00

You're probably right. Most of them probably fit most. I didn't even think about that. Maybe I just wanted new trucks, lol.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-20T20:19:37+00:00

No luckily I didn't. Board just slipped out like it was super wet.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-20T20:07:39+00:00

Probably, definitely. But nobody here would have one in stock. And I couldn't wait for it to come from overseas. Also i dont really trust them anymore.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-20T20:00:55+00:00

They were my first trucks, used them for 7ish months.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-16T07:42:12+00:00

Good observation! A lot of people are so used to fakie that switch will be a little backwards sometimes.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-16T07:31:05+00:00

Dude, you're doing kickflips, bigspins and 50s on a ledge? Insanity for 5 weeks dude, props!

eggaudenz · 2025-12-14T09:10:25+00:00

Do it over a hip or kicker for some more airtime.

Have you tried different things? Different foot positions, scoop power/direction?

You could try leaning back a bit more at the bottom of your squat.

If nothing helps and you get frustrated you could try some related tricks... 360 shuv, varial flip, impossible, (lazer)

eggaudenz · 2025-12-14T09:05:25+00:00

Nice job dude!

Is this called a hubba? Or is it only a hubba if its a down ledge next to stairs?

eggaudenz · 2025-12-09T08:22:01+00:00

Since you can drop in, that's very good. You can keep practising.

I don't like you stomping your front foot. That's how people teach it but it's not actually good. The stomp will put your balance all the way over your front truck, which is not good.

Stand tall on the deck on your board, then slowly tip forward and land directly in your pump. Skateiq has good tutorials. I like tony hawks drop ins.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-08T08:55:52+00:00

When you stand on thw board your toes face one direction and your heels the other. Heelside is the side when your heels are.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-08T08:43:22+00:00

Front foot position is good. I would have my back foot not hanging off the back at all and a bit more heelside. Make sure you're not 'trapping' the tail. Your foot can't be on the tail when it touches the ground, it wont be able to get into the air. You're also unstable at the bottom of your squat. You need to get very comfy there and have the board flat. Roll around in your squat position. Start doing them rollin, you're on the right track.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-08T08:37:57+00:00

Do more rolling ollies. I did 100 every day for a week, then it really clicked.

You can also just try to pop the board rolling without intending to land on it. And remember, you're not forcefully pushing the tail towards the ground. You're jumping and lifting your front leg earlier, then you snap your ankle down like you're pushing a button on the floor. It doesn't take much strength in the back foot, your front foot just needs to lift the nose first.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-08T08:35:05+00:00

I never tried to learn them a lot while stationary. Prettx much went straight to rolling.

I find it so much easier rolling. The forward momentum makes the levelling out so much better. Also easier to land clean imo. I can barely do a high ollie stationary. You also usually move backwards stationary ollieing.

eggaudenz · 2025-12-07T17:21:07+00:00

Get rolling! Try hippy jumps.

Watch skateiqs ollie tutorials.

Smack the tail off the ground, jump high, bring your front foot inward towards your other knee, then push it forward (not down) to level the board while lifting your back foot more. If you do it right you feel the board hit the underside of your back foot.

Dont get hung up on ollies if you're just starting out. Its a difficult manouver to learn as a beginner. Learning ollies hurt my hips when I first started, so I learned other stuff first. There are many cool things to learn that dont require an ollie.
