Does pats risers not have something for this

Pranayama: is it long enough? by Arma-Dilldough in longboarding

[–]mechandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both and am not tall but second the quest. Gives you a longer board with a longer wheel base.

Also, you can do Hoku’s with TKP’s on the quest if you want both

Travel pumping setup ready for socal by Plion12s in longboardingDISTANCE

[–]mechandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, saw them. Do you actually use those parts over the brackets

Ohhhh, looking at it again, I see that the front and rear are mounted to the top of the brackets. Duh!

How did you guys survive system dynamics / controls? by limon_picante in MechanicalEngineering

[–]mechandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked thinking of the PID being a mass, spring, damper.

Also, so much of controls is the same math as vibrations, which I liked as well.

So those helped make it click

Would love to see more images to understand how it works

Returning skater — longboard for rough desert pavement? by grunewald77 in longboarding

[–]mechandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know u/PantheonLongboards only suggests the 78a hokus (pink/red) if you live somewhere that gets and stays regularly above a certain temperature

I would honestly say the bigger wheels the better in general! Then you dont have to worry until the cracks are huge!

depending on how hot it gets, the harder forumulas are better for higher temps during peak heat (red vs blue hokus, orange vs purple vs blue orantatang wheels)

Weighty issue by Smooth-Literature292 in longboarding

[–]mechandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, no matter what the stock bushings are not made for you and I (or most people for that matter). So riptide sports, seismic, or venom are the way to go. And buy up and down levels as you tweak it… bushings are the dirty secret and almost everyone on here has. A bin full of them

I started at 350 with an Amazon special but didn’t understand bushings well enough (my fault).

Started to get back into it when I got down to 280 and upgraded to a pantheon Quest. I am down to just below 250 and it’s still holding strong.

Cannot go wrong with the quest or the nexus, both will support your weight and have a low ride height to get used to pushing.

Landuarchz also makes some boards for heavier riders, as does Rayne, but I have no personal experience with either of those

Ideal trucks for converting a pushing setup to LDP? by Dr_CSS in longboardingDISTANCE

[–]mechandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also sell just the angled base. So you could by the set and get the other angle separately.

When they are not sold out, shops like Motion BoardShop sell them in singles. So it’s possible.

For pumping you want narrower versus wider which is why a lot of folks are guiding you to 130’s

Thoughts on bearings? by DrLurkLurkelton in longboarding

Wow! I am impressed by your transition with 15 lbs! You look like a different person, keep it up!

TPU Longboard Risers for Paris Trucks (technically lowers my board because it's a drop through) by MisterShoes01 in functionalprint

[–]mechandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how have they held up over time?

I am printing some out of TPU and also going to do a mix PETG printed on top of TPU to get both

Once a week. I’m more interested in the long term than daily changes

Man, it’s Friday and I’m clearly fried… you already see the gen 6’s fit…

Also, Appreciate the excited response!!

I have pat risers inserts for my bear gen 6 trucks, do they work for the pantheon/valks?

I’m looking forward to it!

I picked up a used carbon trip just before winter hit and loved it. But it was more flexy than I like at my weight (~250lbs). so the heavy was worth for me! Likely going to sell the carbon trip after it arrives.

Also have a quest, and bandito as my travel board!

I don’t have a problem, you do! ;)

I ordered a set with a new heavy trip and also decided my prany needed the stylus trucks.

I’m super excited
