Your use of language, precision of thought, ability to articulate concepts and clear intelligence is awe-inspiring and a welcome contribution in this space.
Very detailed review, hopefully the new rogues are going to drop soon. I'm still on 125mm randal trucks, figering out what angle and bushings I like to ride best. I have the randals about one year now, and for my speed(60 kph) they are pretty stable.
Now we just need Rogue to restock these... they've been hinting at a new drop for months. You mentioned november.... WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?! hahhahha Great review, you solidified my desire to buy these. I really want to try these with a really soft bushing setup for slalom or some short-distance pumping.... it would be crazy to be able to pump the same board uphill and then slide back down the hill. That's the dream. Finally. I'm REALLY hoping the new drop has new kingpins.
Hmmm, don't know if they'll be the best for pumping, but they could so it if wedged high enough and set with a soft insert/spherical - like the 55* exiles. But definitely not one setup for both downhill and pumping. Hope you get them bro!
Do the spherical bearings come lubricated with grease or is it recommended to grease/lubricate the spherical bearings for optimal performance and longevity?
DH254, I just purchased the Billet v3 and watched your video 20× and am really kind of considering the rogue slalom do you know what the slalom measure in inches?
I skated Exile Hydras v2 with APS inserts and with sphericals and DT slalocybins (which have sphericals in base also) and came to some conclusions for myself. With inserts it feels like they make it easier to slide directionally. While sphericals make gripping shaky corners much easier. Actually with slalocybins it feels even more so. But I feel like sliding accurately takes more skill and controll with sphericals and for some reason I want to take grabs far more often with them. Though I feel like using them for races. I think "bump-steer" is a result of them having such tremendous rake. Felt something similar with Hydras.
@@no66 the funny thing is that I never skated trucks with tall bushings for even a session, so I can not actually tell ) But it slalocybins have lots of lean at 50/15 (as I skate them atm) and they are almost freakishly turny.
@@num_4881 Anything with spericals is going to be turny :-) I also skate slalom (cones) with GOG's at 55 / 5. With spercial most of the turn happens because the truck moves instantly compared to lag with pivots. Anyway, all interesting stuff and an elemnet of personal prefrenses. I don't get along with sliding with a rear truck under 35*
Interesting thoughts. I'll have to get some exiles to try! Also, I have some shims so maybe I should try rogues with the short bushings? haha, is it a good idea, we'll see. I def think sphericals have better performance, but they suck over rough roads ...
@@downhill254skate Rogues with conventional bushings will be a very interesting experiment. Especially if you have precise shims. Looking forward to it if you will have time.
I used to do downhill way back when randals were IT. I see now that trucks are narrower. They def look my slalom trucks. Can someone explain why they went narrower and not wider?

Much love man, thanks for the kind comment. Really appreciate that. More content like this coming soon
70 miles per hour regularly. I'm very proud of you young generation of skateboarders. Always take care.

Hehe, you will love them. Likely feel super different from the Randals, and I bet your 60kph top speed will feel much easier to hit time and again
Fantastic , insights and reviews , find it hard to believe you don't have 100 k+ followers.
This dude is brilliant but there aren't that many downhill longboarders unfortunately
Maybe one day we will be at 100k! Got some things up my sleeve that will help with that hopefully. Time will tell. Thanks for watching

Everybody cringing in pain haha
You gotta try some dont trip dh cybins!
Yo, more deep trucks reviews please! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
You do great videos dude
Good vid, I'll try to get footage of some of the colorado boys riding them and get their opinions

great review bro

What a nice review🔥🔥
These rogue trucks and bear smokies are the hardest to get I've been trying since 6/20/21
They should be available soon! Stay ready with your wallet
Nice review!
great review!
where did you buy these spherical???

Could it be that slacocybins are regular bushing and not tall, giving slighty more harder lean so have to grab more? Just putting it out there.

Also. I hope that everyone knows who Manu Antuna was. Pioneer of the slide into turns.
Is the Manu Antuna on CZcams the same guy?
@@PaulKentSkates yup. that one. skate house media
Can you do a Rogue ZM1 review?
Good work thank u sir
You only need a toe stop to use them. And a popsicle deck.
Great review! Stay safe.

These boards nowadays look like GIant slalom boards from 10 years ago. What wheels are you using? They look like Turner Avilas.
Was using a variety of wheels. From Venom Magnums, to Cheetah Hawgs
This is unraleted but where should the trucks be placed, in the front 4 bolts or the back ones
Uhh ... could you rephrase your question?
@@downhill254skate sorry lol, what wheel base option is best for downhill. For example, in the cheese grater, where should the trucks be placed.
@@Bigdaddy-vx9lz depends on your trucks. Can't go wrong with a 24-25inch wb tho
It is cool but i cant buy them. You should do a raffle lol
Just buy randal 125mm trucks they do a great job too😂
A part of me wants to sell them so I can buy other trucks, but I don't think I'll ever get the opportunity to own a set of these again ...
@@downhill254skate I feel that given your location. We can’t buy them in The states either lol.
@@downhill254skate definitely raffle them don’t give them away 😂
I wish i had these there website is dead
Some should be available soon!
It's a bad one if they don't laugh 😂😢😂😢
they usually in shock
