I also really like the 88wheels McFly, 86mm and very soft, light, and being quite narrow, ridden in the rain and no aquaplanning 😊 they are a... softer speedvent 🥰

A lot of people seem to really like the 88s, never really got the impulse to buy one of those. But thanks for the information, at some point i want to get some too!

Yep, tried the Karmas and went back to the McFlys. They just feel a lot nimbler without sacrificing any of the ability to cross sketchy surfaces

Nice & Thanks :)

Do you want some background music, or do you prefer silence on the Video, I'm curious!

Music is totally unnecessary in my opinion. In many cases, even when done well, it makes it a lot harder to hear and I'm first and foremost here for information 😊

During your voiceovers, I like no music. If there is a riding montage for a couple minutes, then sure it would be nice to throw in some music, but I'd watch either way. Music set at too high a level while someone is talking is pretty annoying. Thanks for the content. You are releasing videos at a rapid pace.

Your videos's been very helpful mate, keep it up! You could add some music as long as it's not overly loud. :D By the way, do you own a Pantheon Trip too?

@@skate-horizons Is that so?! I own a Pranayama and I find it amazing, like really amazing! But the biggest gripe is that I can't take it down the hills I used to, kinda feels more wobbly (because of the tkps?). So my question really is buying a Trip justified even though I have a Pranayama? =)

@@Aeppelpajen Uiii, good question. I mean both are not dedicated Downhill Boards, but the Rkps seem to perform decent. Look at Paul kents Videos, he uses his trip for cross country skates and is pretty stable at higher speeds! So you might want to get the trip to complement your quiver ;)

@@skate-horizons Wise words my friend! Just a suggestion, if you have both boards - maybe you could do a comparison between the two? I think a lot of people, including myself, have troubles choosing one or the other.. :D

nowadays do you find yourself liking the pranayama more or the supersonic more? what are you favourite wheels on both?

@skate-horizons

@@balakaeman Supersonic Hoku wheels, Pranayama I like both speedvents and karmas, both are equally nice! Pranayama still for short trips and spontaneous action. Supersonic for distance!

I had the Pranayama and I have the Supersonic, but not at the same time like you, so I can't compare them anymore. Do you feel a huge difference between those two? Is the Pranayama still lower to the ground, even with the Pantheon trucks?

@skate-horizons

Ай бұрын

Phew good question. There is not much difference. The pantheon trucks are not much different in ride height compared to the paris trucks. They are both pretty low. But I currently ride my supersonic with some risers 1/2 inch. I would even say, that the supersonic sits a tiny bit lower. But if you look at ridden setups. the pranayama will be lower, lots of people ride giant wheels on the supersonic. But on the other hand the supersonic can have a longer wheelsbase and a lot of flex, so practically when pushing you will most likely get lower on the SS. I will have to check at some point, but I currenty don't want to disassebmle the Supersonic, since i have it setup for another experiment :D

Bro please help me, i want to try shorten my trucks with your method. HOW DO I KNOW THAT IM CUTING JUST THE ALUMINUM NOT THE AXLE ITSELF? should i touch the axle with the saw or do i leave a couple milimeters of of aluminum there just to be safe?

@skate-horizons

Ай бұрын

Well you dont really know. My advice would be to mark the saw at the depth you want to cut, for example: The axle is 8mm, the thickness where you want to cut is 2 cm so you need to remove 12mm of material. Cut 4mm deep and then stay careful. Work around the truck. Rather be a little too careful. You can leave a few mm and file them off later! But be aware that my method can easily damage the truck, so stay safe always! Good luck!

My Pranayama had taken on a few forms over the last couple of years. My current one is my "ultra light, start-stop, dog walker, can carry down a dirt trail" version. Tensor mag light trucks (riptide upgraded cups and bushings) and 78mm pink Seismic Blast Waves. It's a little shredder! As for the music, I think so long as it's tasteful, instrumental, and low in the mix when you're speaking, it's fine.

The inherent geometry of RKP trucks makes wheel bite easier with less input. If you are running hard bushings you might be able to get with it, but the experience, from my perspective, will be a very restrictive board. TKP on the other hand, turn a bit more with less input, thus allowing you to use softer bushings without wheel bite, although they are more responsive and could seem "twitchy" if you run very soft bushings. TL;DR. TKP is the safe play, RKP requieres knowledge and tweaking
