i love to push on my long rides lets see who has what setup for when they feel like going back there primitive root and with all the rain here in seattle you have to do a lot of pushing so lets see what you got.
Me-
board: LY Spud
Trucks: 10 mm Grizzly trucks
bearings: 10mm bear bearings
wheels: 83mm 75a Flys
Its a good board but its missing rain flaps so when i ride my legs get soaked but its still a very good board _________________ The concrete is our canvas, our wave, our playgound, our catalyst for growth. When you feel it, flow with it, live in the moment; and shred it like you'll never skate again, everytime.
REALLY?!?!??!?!?! does no one push at all? _________________ The concrete is our canvas, our wave, our playgound, our catalyst for growth. When you feel it, flow with it, live in the moment; and shred it like you'll never skate again, everytime.
This is what I would call my "go to" pushing setup now. I would almost say this board was a direct result of last May's ultraskate, where I pushed the entire time on a rollsrolls carbon sportster, and my feet and joints paid the price.
The deck is stiffer and wider than Mark's Cambiar stock board, and the aluminum brackets have their own sweet flex. The only thing I'm not totally comfortable with on this are speeds over 25mph, but mainly because I'm running a front Bennett on a dropped deck.
Dervish, Randals, SpeedVents or BZs (Down [small] hill and screwing around)
Loaded Pin, Chargers, Zigs or Flashbacks (For college commute)
Ed Eco, Randals, Gummys or Speedvents or BZs or Flashbacks (For impressing the ladies)
Gravity Spoon nose, Trackers, Sick Sicks (Bank riding)
Vintage Mike McGill (ca. 1988), Vintage Rat Bones, Venture Trucks (For when I am nostalgic)--actually a student gave this to me last year. It was his brother's old board. I was more of a Barbee or Underwood model person back then. _________________ I won't quit my day job.
Even if the setup had side winders it could still be a persons dedicated pushing setup. Heck, the board wouldn't even have to be low to the ground.
As long as the person feels comfortable using it as a pusher, be across New Zealand or to the local mart, a person can call it his or hers dedicate pusher.
