Over the decades I have only found 2 unmodified brands of wheels that were any good in the rain. The first were the original version of Emotion wheels ( half the read surface was actually rubber and come both e eXkate wheels made of Goodyear rubber, the slick version not the tractor-tread type.Siping ( aka rain grooves) do help some but you need to also cut channells so the water can escape the contact surface. Ceramic bearings are preferred as they cannot rust shut.
Habe heute meiner 4 jährigen Tochter einen kick two bestellt... Sie fährt seit 2,5 Jahren bereits Micro Kickboard und wird eine Menge Spaß damit haben ❤
Skateboard trucks: and I would've gotten away with it, if it weren't for you medallion scientists!
Thanks for the tips!! Used a tiny flathead screwdriver to carefully pop one side off. The leverage tip helped.
Over 8 minutes into the video and you have done nothing significant to actually repair the deck.
The first significant step of the repair which cannot be skipped begins at 3:00. Just because you're not seeing significant results by 8 minutes doesn't mean the important work hasn't started.
There’s an easy way to sort out road rash, don’t get a bike
I have one bearing very rust i my basement. He have plastic seals. If I changed seal, will be my rusty bearing looking better?
I have a modified board but it cracked directly down two bolts. I probably can't fix that one
Could you repeat this experiment with a 45/20 split setup?
I'd buy a pair fs 🤙
i know this is a super old video but I had a question. after you wipe off the excess paint, are you sanding the boards at the end? I looked like you were just using a rag but then it said grit. i just want to be clear on what i should do exactly.
12 years later and this is providing valuable research for a functional ceramic sculpture I want to make, so thanks for that. Did you ever make more?
Yes. I went through a few more prototypes before ending up with the chair I've been using for the last 8 years or more. And I'm getting ready to replace it with a brand new one if I can find the time to go work in the shop more.
This just reminds me of the 70s when a skateboard truck called "D-Beam" hit the stores. A fibergkass reinforced Zytle nylon L shaped beam that had multiple stiffness', and axle widths. I have a set in my collection. Everything old is new.... in one way or another.
that in wf they continue to make those bearings
I’m pretty sure the ONLY reason I haven’t had a bad fall in my board yet is the fact I say out loud to myself “big ball time homie “ before every big drop and I can’t let myself down haha
I want to try some of these trucks! I’d try them with Waterborne adapters too. The design is looking great!
Man I am sorry. I really love your work, because I have the same obsession. I had so many questions and ideas and stuff, but I hope you recover.
GENIUS
I love it! Youre killing it! Love to see more on the build design on your creation. My first board was the exact same, and it almost was bad enough to make me quit.
did you ever fix it? My son has the same problem, that damn washer broke apart and it works, but isnt the same.
Thank you so much for this video! I just found you after having a hell of a time trying to clean the Bont bearings that came with my derby skates. Sincerely appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
You did a fantastic job with the video .
I Generally mix mobil 1 synthetic Bearing grease with WPL Fork boost lube(lube for mountain bike suspension forks). I started doing this a few years ago after going to Ocean City, MD for vacation. I was only there for a few days and I assume a combination of the salty/sandy environment and heat wreaked havoc on my longboard bearings. Since doing this my bearings last much longer, they roll somewhat smoother, and are a bit quieter. Now I can ride my board for a month straight then let it sit for the winter, and pull it out as soon as it hits 60 degrees outside. Without doing any maintenance to it and it'll ride just as smooth as it did before it was put away. The main perk to using grease is the fact that theres virtually no run off. Grease isn't effected by gravity like oil is. Even when you riding your board the oil is still going to settle in the lowest point of the bearing at that particular time. When you do ride the oil gets flung to the outter races. During all this movement some of the oil actually gets thrown out of the bearings at the edges of the seals. Grease doesn't do this nearly as easy or as fast. Once grease gets on something it has a tendency to stay there until wiped away. Even then it still leaves a nice layer behind.
Aww muffin
I clean my bearings in a jar of mineral spirits, then i blow them out with my air compressor. I never thought about putting toothbrush heads in a rock tumbler, neat idea. I checked out a few of your grease videos, ive been using super s #00 weight grease from tractor supply in some oust moc9 bearings for skating outside. it seems like a good combination with the low weight grease and the contact rubber seal to keep it in. I was using a #2 weight grease before that but it mostly seemed to get pushed away from the balls.
phenomenal explanation
Sounds like running high (ex. +10mm) positive rake with a high-rebound resistance (especially towards the end of lean - aka. fat cone) is the perfect combo to me.
Umm, from bearing specs there is limiting rpm rating on bearings on grease and oil. That is why you put uncovered bearing on engine, no grease on an auto engine.
Where did you get your syringe? And what kind of grease are you using?
How can you adjust the amount of pivot-angle-added-per-degree-of-lean (PAAPDOL)? The rear truck doesn't need a lower static pivot angle, but it needs less PAAPDOL.
It would be very hard to make this adjustable. You control this rate through a few inputs, but it really comes down to the angle of the two "pivot cups". If that angle is zero, then its a normal truck with no progression, and you get more and more progression up until about as wide of an angle as I made here. There's a couple ways that might let you mess with it by setting up the truck differently, but we've not had luck doing that and having the truck hold up.
@@LongboardTechnology I see. Thx for the clarification. 👍
The angle of the baseplates also look dramatically different to me
Awsome! (please start production)
Those trucks look rad! Really looking ready for production! Try waterborne trucks and lmk how they compare! They’re the best I’ve found
Good tips compared to all other thousands of how to slide, thx
Wow, I really appreciate it, thanks for taking some time! I see the kind of sicle path your hand go through. It looks smooth and makes the increased distribution of force on the hands very clear! Im not really sure if I understood the hand position correctly and hopw to implement it for my slides. The setup tip is also nice, im gonna loosen my bushings a little! But really, thanks a lot for taking some time, this is so nice! PS: But do you remember that here was a Video response feature, but that was yeaaaars ago...
Thanks for the tips
Wanty wanty yes yes. I would put huge like 105 wheels on it and rip.
My surf skates really open up with a full kicktail and a foot behind the rear trucks.
Great explanation bro...thank you very much!
Hi, have you tried the positive rake on higher speeds? Maybe, that's why surfskates having negative rake. Thanks a lot for your videos.
Right, they would be unstable at speed because of the lack of caster effect.
@@klawrence1yt That's it, I think rake and caster are almost synonyms, since negative rake increases the stability by "pulling" the wheels instead of pushing, it seems that front truck may be pulling the wheels, while the back truck is pushing them (or vice-versa), I've seen some back trucks with smaller angles to gain stability, but the skate loses agility... this is an amazing subject to discuss.
Dam those trucks can move, I'm only just getting into pumping but this video was very informative. Thanks mate!
Some actual tubes mountain board wheels could improve performance dramatically
🤟🏽🤙🏽👌🏽👌🏽🤙🏽🤟🏽
It is absolutely wild how much articulation you are squeezing out of those Rojas! This video was very enlightening. I've been thinking about rake a lot recently and felt like I was slowly loosing my mind.
Yeah, I've been losing my mind over Rake for a while.
I wonder how wedging affects this
“this is the dream!” i agree.
Awesome to see that you are still working through new designs. I'm still not sure how exactly to do the carbon we talked about before. I have a feeling that the nose and tail would snap on mine, but just need to try it and find out I guess.
Did you design those trucks? How are they at LDP? Please let me know when I can buy a set, thank you!
I'm partially involved, but its not my own project. For LDP, you'll have to lean too much to pump, and they're too tall to be good for pushing. I think we're getting close to having a version for sale but, IDK.
@@LongboardTechnology Thank you for the honest feedback. I've got a feeling your guys could make the ultimate longboard truck, just stick with it! Regardless of the wait time when your product is ready for sale I'll know you guys have something special!
When are you going to start production?
*That lean!* 😲🔥
