We do serious,dedicated downhill all the time. With trucks so loose they almost flop.


It's all in your head.

curious, why exactly WOULD you have loose trucks for straight lining/bombing hills? that makes no sense unless you like unnecessary speed wobbles/danger

My trucks are floppy loose on all boards in all situations. It's just how i skate. I like to turn,when i like to turn,as hard and fast as grip will let me.

"loose trucks save lifes" We rarely Bomb straight hills,but even then,as you said,you never know what's going to cut into your path, you need that ability.

It just feels right.




...and Like i said, speed wobbles are all in your head. All you have to do is relax, relax your body like it's a wet noodle,and you'll slowly diffuse,and ride them out.

that's actually really good advice, thanks man
i realize that downhill is all about confidence, being focused and maintaining for the duration, but i want to be as comfortable and experienced with slides and my board in general before i start that spectrum of the game up. plus some good safety gear is def a requisite in my mind at those speeds
