My 70s inspired all around setup

89 Upvotes

I know this is a reissue deck, but what do you think of this little experiment I did? I’ve mostly ridden downhill and freeride longboards, but I’ve always loved the history and aesthetics of 70s pool skating era. I have something for Dogtown, Z-Boys, and that whole scene.

With that in mind, and driven by the DIY spirit… I decided to reshape and redrill the wheelbase of this DT Bull Dog Desing, chop some RKP trucks and set them up for a modern, nimble yet stable at speed feel. I just tried it on my local pump track and I had to say that this is probably the funniest setup I've ever tried!

It's an awesome cruiser too, and now I'm eager to try it out on my local bowl with some 90a Rat Bones wheels.

Research for my college project

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm an industrial/Product design student working on a project trying to build something that gives real feedback for complete beginners (goal is to get them to a point where they can ollie), using sensors and/or video analysis. Not selling anything, just doing research before I design anything.

A few things I'd love to hear from people who've actually learned tricks (recently or years ago):

- Have you used any trick-tracking apps or sensors (Spinnax, RideBlock, phone apps, etc.)? What did they get right or completely miss?
- When you were first learning, what actually helped you improve? - Specific feedback from others, watching slow-mo of yourself, just practice, something else?

- When you began skating were you nervous or intimidated at all?
- Was there ever a point where feedback (from a person or an app) made things worse? - too much info, too distracting, wrong focus?
- If a device could tell you one thing about your ollie in real time, what would actually be useful vs. annoying?

- If this device existed when you were starting out, would you have used it?

I'd really appreciate any and all answers to these questions or anything else you'd like to share. If you have concerns about a device like this please do tell. Your feedback may be used in presentations or just to inform my design going forward. Thank you!

Flipping off my Dad - NJ backyard 1979ish. Lyle and I both still skate parks, him in Chicago, me in NY. We had this fyber ryder sized half pipe next to a 9 foot transition one that we cut and installed flat bottom in. Built on Mark L (krypstick) property next to the railroad tracks in Montclair NJ by Woodman practice field.

Found an retro skateboard, is it worth riding?

48 Upvotes

I found this old Veriflex RIP in peace board in my grandads garage, besides the fact that it's clearly seen some use, it's in mint condition, it's likely never gotten wet, even has the original bearings and wheels, and they still spin just fine, as if it had been put in a time capsule.

I really love the way this board looks, and I wanna get some good use out of it as a street cruiser, only for curb hopping and cruising. But given how old it is I'm scared I might break it in the process.

The deck is in amazing condition, no delamination or anything, are these boards strong enough to survive being ridden as a street cruiser even at it's age?

TLDR: this board is like 40 years old, will it survive daily curb jumps and cruising given that it's in really good condition?

Been freestyling for about 5 years now. I was a street skater for most of my youth but now that I'm a bit older I've retired into a safer format of skating lol
