Are Oaks worth the money?

Yes, if you like grippy wheels

looking for wheels that are like the close up material and are quite small and grippy?

Also i recently set up a prowood i bought ages ago what other companies sell a shape like there extreme mold i believe its 98 x 29 and has medium kicks its pretty light ??

if anyone can answer thank you

Well I have a berlinwood 29mm and its pretty good and its light. Also, you say you live in tasmania. is that tasmania in australia?

yea im in australia! i have a berlin wood already but i cant get on with the different kicks! thinking of trying the low mold

Try No Comply's Lab wheels? They're grippy but not super grippy like Oaks. I have a set and I like them alot.

oaks

OAKS! ALWAYS OAKS!!!

Nah, I kid. Oaks are super grippy, FF are a happy medium as are Winklers from what I've heard.

I think I'll get oaks, I like super grip and realism

never tried oaks but heard theyre nice. im pretty sure oaks are really grippy

The Close Up wheels i tried were much grippier than my Oaks. But i would still recommend you checking Oaks out, they are basically the same material just different hardness.

Also, if it's the regular Close Up wheels you have, you could try out the bearing version. They are cheap and not that bad.

(Excuse me for my lack of deck making/woodworking knowledge) So when making a deck, should I lay the veneer the way it likes to bend (shitty wording, I know) or the opposite way? I tried to do it the way that it bends the easiest and the boards turned out super weak.

alternate plies, bottom to top, vertical horizontal vertical horizontal vertical, for a 5 ply. the vertical is long ways

Impretty sure what Jackson said, not sure 100% though

How do u fingerboard quietly, like if ur bro is trying to sleep in the other room

You don't. It's impossible unless you have oaks and can land every trick perfectly

Also yes Jackson is correct

That's pretty much it; Chris has made two decks in the past few months (not for sale or anything, he just likes playing around), and the first one, despite being absolutely beautiful, it snapped pretty quickly because the grain of the wood plies was going in the same direction. if you alternate them (top to bottom - vertical horizontal vertical horizontal vertical (I assume you're making a 5 ply) is what I've seen most decks set out as) then their point of weakness won't be in the same place every time, and so less likely to snap.

Honestly? If your brother is in the next room, he'll be able to hear little. Our walls are crazy thin and Chris fingerboards next door all the time without me hearing very much. Occasionally I'll hear the board land, but that's not a regular occurrence and isn't an irritation.

passing pin of my BRR trucks is shifting,
how do I fix this?

the axle? it's supposed to move, but if you've tightened up both wheels it shouldn't be able to move, kind of defys physics.

yeah that pin that goes through the hanger
it used to be fixed, now its all loose

it blocks my wheels a lot

if your wheels are tightened fully I don't understand how it can move..

What is the best way to paint correctly my brr trucks ?

With a paintbrush.



Do you mean what is the best paint to use?

Are Scott B decks any good?

Scott b decks are, never tried what you're talking about. #trollpage
