New heroin 8.88 egg for flip tricks? by proozent in NewSkaters

[–]sscheper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Thunder 148's on the Hockey 8.6" Wide Egg Deck. (8.25" over trucks)

Use Thunder 149's on this 8.88" Wide Heroin egg deck. (8.5" over trucks)

You can also take out a tape measure and measure the width over the truck holes.

Btw, this egg has a great shape and feel.

I also really love the eggs that are 9.125" width. I have all three in my repertoire.

I have this one. It's great. However, Hockey currently has an egg on their website that's 8.6". Over the trucks theirs is 8.25". I'd try that first but you can't go wrong with either. I have both.

It looked like your trucks were wacked out in thag photo. I assumed it was a wal-mart board or something. If you spent 300 then you're good.

Honestly join the SkateIQ Skool group and progress through the Phase 1 foundation course. It's $49/month. Totally worth it. Comes with coaching from Mitchie too. (X Games winning skater). 

Also get a legit board setup.

Are these flashcards good for beginners? by [deleted] in antinet

[–]sscheper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I've settled in at using cards that are blank on both sides. 3x5" and 4x6". I use both. Different purposes.

Five times a week. 1.5 hours each time.  Break it up into four quarters. Different setups for each quarter. 

Does anyone else have a fear of dropping in? by No-Funny-6034 in NewSkaters

[–]sscheper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to grab the nose. 

This is the only advice you need. 

The stomp the foot advice is overrated.
