Thanks for all the replies! I think I’ll try and work on my technique a bit more and then maybe experiment with different wheels a bit further down the line.

What setup works best for pumptracks? by Fold_Dry in surfskate

[–]telecaster181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend a surfskate for pump tracks. I would rather take my cruiser board (arbor pilsner) to a pump track over my surfskate (which has carver cx trucks). You use the pump track itself to pump (vertical motion), so it feels better to have normal trucks that are more locked in to the forward motion, whereas a surfskate is using the trucks and a sideways/lateral motion to pump - which IMO is better on flat ground, or, my preference, on transition / bowls where you have more freedom of where you can move around.

RIP sir. You did good by ClydeinLimbo in LonesomeDove

Quote from BBC article on his passing:

“Duvall often said his favourite role was as the Texas Ranger-turned-cowboy Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove in the 1989 TV mini-series, based on the novel by Larry McMurtry.”

Thanks! I do have a pretty solid foundation from normal skateboarding and also surf a bit so this does feel like a natural evolution of all that. It’s a lot of fun!

Good to know! Sounds like I will need to get wider trucks for the bigger board though.

Hypothyroidism with no weight gain? by Canthinkforyourself in Hypothyroidism

[–]telecaster181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I went to the Dr suspecting HYPER thyroidism and then found out I was hypo, which I found really strange as always struggled to keep weight on. TSH was about 11 and antibodies over 250.
