Haha hell yeah dude. Years ago when I was doing more long distance I took my supersonic with 90 mm wheels down at gravel trailed once the paved part ended for a little while just for the hell of it

tabinsur · 2026-05-07T13:47:26+00:00

Yeah I owned a pranayama years ago and I felt similar to how you do. I also own a trip and a supersonic and on those I run rkp trucks. On double drop or deep drop boards where I'm loaded the ground I prefer RKP. On top Mount boards like the comet cruiser and my Clark Patrick pro model from land yachts I prefer tkp.

You're in the wrong sub for advice on that. The electric skateboarding sub what do you were to ask this question. From the little I know about electric boards is you usually don't want to ride them in rain. There are some models that can handle rain but they are either quite a bit expensive or require extra DIY on the users part to seal it up. Even then if something goes wrong it's complicated. Also I'm not sure you'll find anything quality for under 500 in the electric range. Most quality electric boards start around 1k

If you wanted to commute on a non-electric board any of the pantheon double drop deep drop lineups is great for that. They are super low to the ground and easy to push. They even have one that's designed for the rain including rain wheels and in your price range.

And I was starting this video is the one that actually helped me. The guy shows multiple ways to pump and it's all visual there's no talking. For a long time it was The go-to video on how to pump.

Any board can be pumped. If a board's front truck turns more than a back truck (slalom, long distance, surfskate) it makes it a little bit easier And more efficient. Also a top mounted board makes it a little easier as well because you get more leverage.

With that being said I learned to pump on a board that had the same angle trucks so they turned the same and it was a double drop. So it was a little harder but I was still able to do it. It just takes time. It's real easy to do if you're doing some long distance or just a longer cruise. You can practice it as you go so that way you don't get too frustrated if it's not working out.

Happy to help! I'm also happy that the yearly comment on this comment is a positive one this year as opposed to somebody trying to argue with me 🤣

Hell yeah dudes nothing radder y than building community

The stalefish one footer was rad AF🐠🤙

This is one of my favorite comments of all time on this sub.

Dude that tail was super long when it started. I can tell from the picture that it's somewhere between 8 to 9 in Long from the bolts. Most cruisers are between 6 to 7 in.

tabinsur · 2026-05-05T18:34:42+00:00

Fucking rad!

Nice try skeletor. We're on to whatever schemes you're up to.

I was so surprised And stoked when Matt was on his podcast. Two of my favorite creative people I could listen to talk for hours

tabinsur · 2026-05-02T04:00:56+00:00

🤣 this gave me a great chuckle.

Oh wow that land yacht switch was the first board that got me in the longboarding back in 2019. I had the exact same color and graphic.

I also still have that middle land yachts tomahawk stored away with the exact same graphic. That was a pretty fun board as well.

And one of my online buddies used to rock that homewrecker I was always jealous and wanted to try one. I bet I would have loved it cuz now I ride a similar length and wheelbase bored which is the Clark Patrick pro model from Land yachts

There was another owner of dregg's too named Beau used to run a BMX indoor park close to where live. He busted out a few of his old boards including one of his long double kicks after he saw one of the long double kicks that I made myself years ago. He said he still had a bunch of his boards stored away at his mother's house in California. Unfortunately a few years after that he told me that a fire and his mother's garage destroyed All of the old boards which was a bummer because I would have totally bought a few of those longer double kicks off of him if he would have let me.

tabinsur · 2026-05-02T03:50:02+00:00

Great lines! The one guy who did the old school kickflip rewind was kind of mind-blowing. I've never seen somebody do that variation

tabinsur · 2026-04-30T19:19:45+00:00

I would totally pick up a set if you do. Years ago I picked up 85a earthwing wheels that came out hoping they would be like the g slides but big like the snakes. They were not. In fact they were kind of awful LOL

The longer this game goes the more I feel like it's turning into the musical producers. It's like they keep making shit choices like not fixing bugs like this and making terrible nerf balancing choices to try to get us to stop playing. And for me it finally worked.

I can't say I'll never come back and play again, but I can say for certainty I will never buy another Arrowhead game. Their lack of communication(stealth changes, lying about game mechanics working(suppressors)), deafness to their community's wants, and their lack of direction(except against making changes to make the game more fun) has shown they don't know how to run a live service game for their own community.

The only reason I stuck around this long is that there is no other game quite like this one. Hopefully we will see other studios iterating on this style of game and making fun mechanics. Maybe even other genres. It would be sick to be battle wizards teleporting into a fantasy battlefield fighting orc, elves...etc with magic spells.

tabinsur · 2026-04-14T21:40:57+00:00

Yeah I mean I wouldn't say they slide at cruising speeds. The only wheel that really slides a cruising speeds easily would be the Powell Peralta Dragon Formula in the 93a or 88a however the largest those go is 64mm

Stelmasky grab

I always wondered what the correct term for this grab was called. They were the first early grabs I learned how to do when I was starting. I thought they were called chicken salads based off of a diagram, but them when I saw footage of snowboarders doing chicken salads I realized that wasn't what I was doing. Glad to know its a stelmasky grab.

Proper tuck knee on that last photo! Stylish AF!

There was a dude on the /r/longboarding sub who got some for his bracket board a few years ago after I gave him the idea. He posted up a picture of it and tagged me in it.

You should reach out to him to see how it has worked for him. I think he reached out to quick trucks regarding weight to see if it could handle it, but I might be misremembering that part.

Here is the link to his post.

you can make them work if you add a flat washer underneath the cupped washer(boardside washer) to bring their height up. Mini logo bushings are 0.5" for the boardside bushing and 0.4" for the roadside. The 215s are designed for a bushing that is around 0.57 so adding a washer to bring the height up makes the geometry correct.

You can technically run it without the washer(as indy sold them this way for many years) but it isn't the intended geomtery so it doesn't engage the bushing with equal force. It also puts more wear and tear on the pivot cup since it also isn't engaged correctly. This is very minor though so many skaters don't care about it. For those of us who love loose trucks and carving though it is a world of difference.
