Core Testing and Fun Run

So we got some new cores to test for Orangatang wheels. Kyle and I took a bunch of fun runs down one of our favorite local hills and documented one of them. No fancy camera work or nothin' -- just 2 GoPros, 4 rubbery legs, and the rawness of the hill. More info on the cores to come in the Loaded Newsletter.
Setups:
- Kyle: LBL 34" Sea Calf, Paris 180s, Orangatang Nipple barrel bushings (~92a), 80a In Heats
- Adam: Comet Voodoo (chopped), Paris 180s, Divine barrel/cone bushings (90a), 80a In Heats

It makes me really happy to see kyle riding LBL.

[@DannyCarlson]

@blopiful very similar boards. the seas calf is the most expensive because of the materials. the wolfshark is easier to stand up slide because of the gas pedals. the voodoo is a cheaper version of the sea calf basically. Small differences, really is just comes down to preference.

[@Slokey3]

I can't belive they went that fast on Paris 180's!!!

[@MrLongboardmagic]

@guccimelvin wheels and bushings are two completely different things, bushings like wheels are also made out of urethane and they affect your ride more than pretty much anything. they inbetween your hangers and the baseplate and in between the hanger and the end of the kingpin. They just affect your ride by how hard they are and what shape they are

[@elittle1997]

@threecheerer I dont know if he has risers on his but you should definitely put risers on yours. For topmounts you should go 70mm or less unless you have a riser

[@kwaaaa]

@blopiful riding experience and confidence at speed. Once you gain both, you won't get wobbles.

[@guccimelvin]

I hope that some i`ll have the nuts to do stuff like this!

[@508downhill]

@sagasa456 It's 36 grit belt sander replacement belts. Hit up your local home depot/hardware store and have at it with a razor and some adhesive. Easily some of the grippiest stuff I've used, but make sure you use it sparingly or it'll eat right through your shoes. Check out the grip on my killswitch for a solid idea.
@Riding2Heal, there are plenty of trade secrets, this is not one of them. The supply of belt sander belts is going nowhere, no need to be so secretive about it.

@LongConseil Kyle: LBL 34" Sea Calf, Paris 180s, 80a In Heats
- Adam: Comet Voodoo (chopped), Paris 180s, 80a In Heats

[@kylechin]

@gleaken17 Pretty constant 35 mph through the sweepers, low- to mid-40s in the last straightaway.

[@antoniofmolusco]

[@TheCireMC]

@MonounsaturatedBliss agreed

[@ChuicyProductions]

[@MrTurtlelover99]

[@yurtyybomb]

they passed a cop at the end

[@xXAntsonXx]

3:40 they pass the cops lol

[@gn8771]

when are we gonna get to see the otang bushings?

[@threecheerer]

does kyle have a riser on his sea calf? i'm going to order one by the end of this month, and am hoping to put in heats on it as well, but i;m scared of wheelbite, esp with Tech DH runs

[@joshisgarage]

damn thats scary close

[@guccimelvin]

@MrLongboardmagic Sorry for my ignorance, but what are bushings wheels?!
thanks, im a longboarder newbie!

[@party_boy69]
