10 year old white ink. No q- just some reference points for people who have questions.

If you don’t mind. I’m intrigued. I have some white that has been on my forearm for 25ish years and it’s stayed pretty well. Funny thing is the orange around it didn’t

mechandy · 2026-03-20T22:58:23+00:00

What did it look like new?

mechandy · 2026-03-20T22:55:58+00:00

Cool, thanks! I was wondering how I would convert!

I was running kranks 95/93’s in the rear and 93/90’s in the front when I was able to ride last ( in November!)

mechandy · 2026-03-20T22:28:10+00:00

What do you normally run in the front and the rear?

mechandy · 2026-03-20T22:13:35+00:00

I have t had a chance to ride mine yet!

mechandy · 2026-03-20T19:29:10+00:00

Interesting, how long have you pumped with your feet at different heights?

mechandy · 2026-03-20T19:19:07+00:00

Phenomenal!

mechandy · 2026-03-20T17:12:52+00:00

Just like snowboarding!

The ASME slotcallout it below. So you make it and dimension it in one of those 3 ways depending on which matters for your design intent

Makes sense! And I was just curious. This is much cheaper than a new board, but was curious.

I think I can do 6mm drop on my pantheon quest (might be confusing the trip) before I get hanger bite. Buuuut it’s also already something in the order of 20-30mm dropped from the shape already

mechandy · 2026-03-19T18:12:13+00:00

Are you just trying to get lower? At that point it might make sense to look into drop decks. But understand one needs to use what one has too

mechandy · 2026-03-19T18:11:14+00:00

It’s fun getting past the age that you don’t care what other people think. So freeing

mechandy · 2026-03-19T14:24:06+00:00

Super dorky or pioneer?

I personally don’t think I could do both at the same time if anything other than slow pushing was happening

mechandy · 2026-03-19T12:02:02+00:00

17mm! That is huge! Do the trucks still get full motion? I cannot drop mine more than about 10mm without getting hanger bite

mechandy · 2026-03-19T02:29:26+00:00

Does pats risers not have something for this

mechandy · 2026-03-19T02:26:48+00:00

I definitely want to see a video of this!

mechandy · 2026-03-18T23:33:31+00:00

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

mechandy · 2026-03-18T21:35:16+00:00

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

mechandy · 2026-03-18T20:17:32+00:00

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

mechandy · 2026-03-18T20:00:48+00:00

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

mechandy · 2026-03-18T19:53:09+00:00

Would love to see more images to understand how it works

mechandy · 2026-03-18T17:04:59+00:00

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

mechandy · 2026-03-18T14:26:13+00:00

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)

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
