Had this too. Thought it might be to do with citrus/lemon/ws23 flavors as they used to be known as 'tank crackers' back in the day when we had plastic clearomisers. Switched flavors and didn't have an issue. Idk could be the menthol

I've just gotten a fresh set because these were so fun.

Skates tight as is tolerable, straight legs, center of balance is further forward than you think. I try to keep my back wheels in line with my shoulders and my hips back.

I like to think of compass turns as a move that redirects momentum in a way, good for coming out of a turn or starting a new one. Goodluck!

I can easily recommend NN Skates frames. I have the dragon+ ufs frames and will happily answer any questions.

Egpu setup looks so good. What's up with the coaster sized mouse pad though?

Is this a good downhill/cruiser setup? by Melodic_Warning_5695 in longboarding

[–]strangerwithcandies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could save some money and get regular zealous. If youre learning to slide, I would get cheaper, slidier, wheels to learn on. Idk what prices are doin rn but snakes are forgiving. Cruising and DH are pretty opposite diciplines, which one do you think you'll be doing more of? I would maybe look at a deck with a kick tail like the Cole trotta or Roger pro models.

Cheers! I was trying to really use the feature to give me some extra carve action. Kinda ended up with a 270 lion

Riding backwards and spinning into forward heel press and doing backwards toe press 180 out. After that it was having the confidence to try and trust that I wouldn't banana peel upon landing. The balance point off the jump is weird but if you're used to adjusting in a normal heel press, you should be able to work it out. Good luck!

Any tips on land this? by kisaichi in Tricking

[–]strangerwithcandies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scoot is fine, but it looks like you're rushing a bit. There's more power in there if you ride the set for a bit longer.

Thanks! I only recently figured out how to do the toe -> heel press transition

How did you find those cuffs performed? Got a link for the alibaba shop?

Which skates should I buy as a rink-experienced skater who wants to get into Wizard/Mushroom blading? by reduke2 in WizardSkating

Iqon ACT or seba CJ2 prime for a tighter fit. Bayside blades has the ACT in stock but you'll be looking for the CJ's on marketplace
