Yeh, it's a Holden site. :/

it is impossible for me to make proper kickflip like before. Before I was able to make it boned and catch it, but I can't do this anymore. I don't know where this problem comes from, maybe my tape isn't smooth ( when I fingerboard after my shower my fingers texture fits well with my tape), or maybe my longboard trucks sucks, or my decks.. or me..

does anyone already got this shitty problem?

Change tape and get use to it (recomendo fbs)
Vais ver que funciona

tape no tape trucks etc dosnt matter

If my Blackriver truck baseplate strips after like 2-3 months of not using them very much should I email Blackriver and get a new baseplate or will I have to buy another baseplate?

I would email them.

Are there any grippy wheels out there for cheap? I can't justify $40+ on Oaks atm and they seem like the only ones doing them.

Bonus question is it possible to just jam some bearings into the wheels that come with TDLBs? I like the material but they obviously roll like crap.

Close Up bearing wheels are similar to oaks.

I tried to jam some bearings in the tdlb wheels the other night; the bearings are far too small for the space when the black plug is removed.

I think I remember that there's a way to mod wheels by shrink wrapping them in something, which could revitalise an old set of chinas or something. But, I can't remember any details whatsoever, sorry! Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Maybe I was just unlucky, and got a shit set, but I really don't rate my bearing closeups at all. They barely spin, the moldlines are horrible and the material isn't great. But they are much cheaper wheels.

How grippy are grands? Some of the wheels on their website seem quite soft?

Do they have a new instagram account? http://instagram.com/bawsewood This one is not active I reckon.

He mainly uses this one: http://instagram.com/young.guwop

Dies anyone know if Creighton Fox (steezyfb on Instagram) is a scammer? I traded my Woob RLX for his Cozy split about a month a ago, and my package got to him last week and he claims he is busy but promised to get my package out a week ago. Also, he has been deleting my comments asking where my package is.

You may say I am foolish in trading with someone on Instagram but he had references and I checked the Instagram of people he traded with and they got his packages.

So yeah does anyone know anything?

My Y Wheels bearings just exploded in one of the wheels both at the same time. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them and can anyone suggest a good dual bearing replacement? A place to get replacement bearings would be good too.
Thanks.

Shipping takes ages to AUS.. my 2 ytrucks packages averaged a shipping time of 2 months..

Thanks Bryan,any suggestions for other dual bearing wheels?

you can buy those bearings in modeling stores. I've tried and it works fine.

Anyone know a place that has micro washers in stock right now?

maybe flatface

Aren't those micro washers?

I think those are mini washers. Micro have a much thinner width from inside to outside diameter. I believe the washers that come with some of the Flatface bushing kits are micro like these: http://www.flatfacefingerboards.com/flatface-rhom-bushings/ but some of the other bushings (like the original Teflon ones) come with mini washers.

I have not seen any micro washers being sold on any fingerboard sites.

Yeah the ones sold on flatface are mini washers. I'll have to order some rhom bushings to see if they come with micros.

I do know one website that sells exactly what i'm looking for I just don't want to spend the $8 on the tuning kit again for just the little washers.

Here is the link: http://www.fingersk8.com/collections/fingerboard-equipment/products/fingersk8-tuning-kit

The washers that come with this are incredibly small and work perfect as wheel washers on tdlb trucks. They are tiny enough to put one on each side of your wheel. Theyre so small that they are pretty much impossible to find if your wheel goes flying off (hence why I want some more lol)
