There is a theoretical part before making a deck? i mean, there something you can know before making/buying the deck just knowing the measures of the deck? just want to know more for my knowledge

When is "Go Fingerboarding Day"?

21st December I think, the people who came up with it wanted it to be 6 months away from Go skateboarding day

Yea. It's on December 21st. 6 months between each Go _____ day associated with skateboarding!

Still never understood the reasoning behind that! 4 days before christmas in the middle on winter...

A month after Go Skateboarding Day would have been way more fun.

Yea I think we should vote to move that

Before you mount the trucks on your deck, put the screws into the baseplate to prethread the holes, like ytrucks you have to do the same, then take them out, mount to the deck and carefully screw them in bit by bit, when you feel them get tight, dont over do it, because thats how they strip

use imovie, it's fast and easy. or slowing down clips use the app slow fast. both are free.

how would you describe the blackriver black bushing kit (based on experience)

do what movin-like-bernie-said, but start by using the thinnest screws possible for the first time you set them up.
and when the baseplates might eventually strip from use/setting up, use thicker screws.

yeah like burnie said, an also try not to change decks too often i ruined a set by constantly changin decks all the time, but i just got sum bigger screws an there fine now

how long has it taken for brr to ship your stuff? i ordered wednesday from the usa store, and they still haven't sent me an email saying my stuff has shipped. i ordered from flatface last night and they i already have a tracking number..

^^^I've only ordered from there once so far but it took about a week for it to ship

I've had a TRV900 which uses miniDV tapes for a little while now and have only recently been able to import the video from my camera onto a laptop using Windows 'Import Video'.

When i import the video the sound is almost removed but if you turn the volume up to full (when playing video on laptop) you can still here the sounds (e.g. the clicking of a fingerboard). The sound is fine when playing the video from the camera, its just after import that it messes up.

If anyone could help that'd be great.

You can hear the sound the clips make when imported on the last clip of this video:


If anyone thinks they can help but isn't sure what i mean, i can upload some raw clips to youtube.

How do you capture your TRV footage? I used to have one so I know a thing or two.

I got my first set of Witchcraft bushings recently but the holes are a bit off center in bottom (bigger) bushings what makes my trucks crooked a little and entire deck rocks around with one wheel in the air all the time. It is driving me nuts. Any way how to fix that? Am i supposed to use washers or something?

I had a similar situtation. By mistake I was given a set for BRTs not ytrucks. I was tryna fix that but accidently my Witchcrafts broke. I'll probably never shred WCs on my ytrucks.

usually it helps to turn the bushing with the off centered hole to another angle.

Yeah, tried a few different angles before asking here. Thanks tho! Rotating the bottom ones upside down actually helped a little, but they are less springy now. I guess i am going back to TKY's
