Brad, Yes...surf stance on a skateboard is the same as on a surfboard.... I do feel as though I use my front foot for controlling most of my style of skating...and yes, my front foot does point more forward. This is why it's important for me to find that sweet spot of balance as an angled foot has l...

Brad, I'm not an engineer by any stretch....I do know however that relocating the axle line back onto the pivot angle (streering angle) of the truck makes the truck's reaction to your inputs more linear...."Offsetting" takes the rising rate steering ratio out of the geometry... It is kind of hard to...

Jonathan, I use CHLORINITE SOLVENT #008. I know it as a cleaning agent for bowling lanes, i.e. stripping the lane oil off the surface of the lane....anyway, I have access to a 150 psi air compressor and after a short soak in the "Solvent 8" I hit them with the 150lbs. of air pressure and bingo, clea...

Adam, Look at the difference of stance and arm positions between your avatar and Jonathan's. (both of you are in toeside turns) Jonathan is just Goophy,er... I mean goofy foot ;-) Jonathan works his shoulders and arms under his chin. In doing so he is pushing the energy of his pump more into the pav...

Damn, Thought I'd try yours before I blew my own $$... I did like Cividino's Pistol that I tried in Chi-town, although he likes more front steering than I do... I'm still a firm believer in that dampening type of flex the PPS foamys have, especially for GS when you get the wheels near or at the chat...

It's scary inside that head of yours aint it? Not so much scary.......just kinda noisy, with all these vociferous pangs for skate knowledge... ;-) I think you'd be further ahead if you put a few of the pounds you lost back on than to have a board be what? .5-1lb heavier if weight for gliding faster...

Chris, Did you ever ride the Manta Alan made me?? It's LIGHT! And it can be felt when you're bringing the board back under yourself, like when finishing a hard offset, or slicing it through a nice long set of stingers.... Anything that oscillates will produce less and less inertia as mass is pared o...

Adam, I see by your avitar that you are a young gun and probably on the lighter side...If so, A larger diameter wheel like an Avalon in softer durometers will not grip as well as a small diameter wheel such as a Cambria given the same durometer.... Obviously roll speed (inertia) will be less with th...

Cross posting
Chris,
Are you doing any cross posting on any other Chi-town skate sites??
If so, can you drop the links in this thread sometime?
How you been otherwise?
I haven't skated since your race....I'm finally scab-free!!!!!
