are loose trucks better for flip tricks?

Loose trucks are harder to skate than tight trucks. There, I said it. That's not to say that tight trucks are easier, or that loosening up the kingpin nut a few turns is going to make you lose all your tricks. I'm talking about skating them loose enough to wobble when you shake the board side to side.

The Good and the Bad The CCS complete is perfect for the not too demanding beginner of all ages. It's able to handle tricks like ollies, kickflips, board slides, and grinds at a basic level. If you plan on grinding every day and do some hardcore skating, the trucks might not be your best pick.

The trucks should be as loose as you feel comfortable when you're first starting out. Be sure not to compress the bushings when adjusting your trucks. Once you're comfortable with your board, loosen your trucks up a hair so that they feel slightly uncomfortable.

Wide board will float better in powder and will be more stable at high speeds. however, edge to edge response will be slightly slower than regular, but it's so fckin slight that it doesn't matter. If you ride mainly park than it might matter, otherwise not at all.

gc8 Member. slicks are not for drift, wouldn't recommend. I did tried semi slicks on 280bhp, it's all good while they cold, although when you warm them up, you get grip a lot more than you can think of, also you get higher load for clutch which is not so good mate.. I wouldn't recommend any of those.

MT's in general aren't that great in the snow or on ice. They can work well in deep snow and deep slush at times but extra slippery surfaces are another story. That said, if you want to run the Trail Grappler I'd recommend siping them.

Some people say it's unsafe because of 'flipping' hazard, but from what I know Wranglers are bottom-heavy so they are less likely to flip than a regular SUV. We also wouldn't take an infant off-roading. We actually don't offroad in our Jeep at all.

Low Skateboard Trucks. Low trucks are generally for tech skating as the wheels sit closer to the board, creating a tighter center of gravity, making flip tricks a bit easier. You'll want to ride smaller wheels, 48mm to 53mm, to avoid wheel bite.

Aside from the cornering traction, wider rims also have a huge benefit when climbing. Since there is a greater air volume in the tire you are able to run lower pressures resulting in much better traction on the climbs! ... The last few benefits that wider rims offer are great stability and rolling resistance.

I have the Bilsteins. The stock shocks were junk! The ride is not stiff - its controlled. You will feel small bumps a bit more, but its doesnt rattle the truck loose.

Even though the void ratio is lower on the Terra Grapplers they are probably a better road snow tire. They are probably better on the trail where you can slip and slide a bit as long as you maintain traction.

It's a fair question to ask as a beginner: are longboards easier to ride? The short answer is, yes! Longboards, especially long, wide boards and decks that are considered drop-through. The drop-through will lower your center of gravity.

You might think hopping on-board an ATV and going for a spin is just as easy as taking your regular 4-wheel car for a ride around the block. ... Some adventure riders choose quads over their two-wheeled counterparts of the dirt because there's less chance of crashing and it's easier to learn.

TIL the chains that you can see hanging under school buses and trucks are there to provide traction in snow. With the flip of a switch, the chains will lower automatically and the centrifugal force sends the chains into action. [Video]

Suppleness and Flexibility Another benefit of doing a back flip is that you'll develop a supple, flexible upper body. During the back flip, while your legs are powering the up-and-over motion, your abdominal muscles, back muscles and spine are working to create a tight, smooth hub for the “spokes” of your legs.

yes it does affect a vehicle's ability off road. Your vehicle is always the most stable with all 4 wheels on the ground. Sway bars apply extra force to keep the wheels at the same level thus they are not good on uneven ground.

Physically speaking the Spark is more than capable of doing acro flips and stuff, the issue is that that kind of control isn't built into the flight controller by default. ... Not as agile as a well tuned F4 flight controller but they'll still flip, roll, and power loop if you force them.
