- Dropping Now was filmed in controlled conditions and professional riders. Do not attempt anything scene in this film.
Zain Solanki, Reid Douglas, Elliot Melling, Stephen Davis, Matty Bee, Levi Hawken, and Matt McCreanor take on both sides of the mountain. The legendary Bruce Road supplied some immaculate vibes while the dark side of Turoa kept everyone on edge with it's wild corners and massive drops.
Big thanks to everyone that supported the film from sponsors to parents, hopefully this inspires you to go on skate trips with your friends.
Stay safe out there,

THAT SONG IS SIIIIIIIIIIIIICK
The biggest difference would be the trucks, a lot of the riders use trucks like Ronin or Robot Oblivion which use a split angle. The front trucks turn a lot while the rear provides a lot of lean without turning. The term these days is called downhill slalom trucks as most riders ride slalom trucks that are built for downhill skating. If your looking for a more affordable option calibre have just started to offer precision trucks that provide these options. You’re going to want to look for a high angle at the front with a low angle in the rear.
As for wheels they use magnums from venom. They are often 78mm.
The length of the board definitely makes things more stable but stiffness makes a difference, when it’s flexi you don’t feel when the board begins to twitch but when it’s stiff you can control the twitches.
A lot of info but there’s so many variables that you’ll discover as you ride more.
Keep shredding 🤙
@@oneeyedpupproductions2821 Super response, thank you
i'm sadly going into winter now, so i will be looking for the ideal days... and I have a wife and 2 kids :D life on the board has become less and less -- and when it's hot I don't want to dress up :/ my city's always windy; :/ but i love LDP for fitness, more than hill bombing, once I push I just go,
I've got 97mm wheels from evo longboards - the road wheels; with wide caliber 2 trucks :? Never get wheel bite thanks to them, but the deck is the rayne nemesis :? from like 2010/2013 era; :) so it's very nice and thick- and stiff, but perhaps I need to tighten my trucks a bit more :? that's the only thing i have not covered;
I love silicon lubricant for my bearings :D
@@1MantisPhoenix honestly anything that gets you on the board is the perfect setup. As long as you’re having fun you’re doing it right!
