Santa Cruz Skateboards - Henry Gartland Pro Model setup and skate clips

This video is partly board setup, partly appreciating 500 subscribers and fully honoring Henry Gartland. I mostly do setup videos of wide boards, but I’m trying to get my flatground skating moving again. That’s why I got myself a narrower board (narrow for me) and once I saw it I knew it had to be the late Henry Gartland’s pro model from Santa Cruz. Henry was an unbelievable skater and even tho...

Winter is finally gone and it was time to set up a freshie (with slightly used trucks) for skating outside again. After having skated indoors mostly in the past months and on wider / shaped boards (10” and 9”) I felt like I needed to setup a pallet-cleanser.

Upcycling a folding chair with old skateboards

Griptape art for the 10" Winkowski setup

I love the Winkowski setup so far and hope it will last me for a while. Although I like the gripjob I did, I thought it could be improved to match the amazing graphic on the bottom of the deck. Since my wife likes to paint and draw, I decided to let her have a go at it. She absolutely nailed it in my opinion and she's probably going to paint more griptapes in the future for me. I hope everyone ...
Winkowski 10" setup

After riding mostly 8,5" decks throughout the summer, standard popsicles and a few shaped ones, I decided it would be time to ride a wide board again. I'm not much of a technical skater, so this will work for basic flip tricks and everything else I skate. The design of the deck is amazing (as Erick Winkowski himself), so is the shape and two different wheelbase options, as well as the concave S...

    You said 44 degree RKP caliber 2 both front and back. What size are you using the 157mm RKP caliber 2 in 40 degree or did you go for the 180mm calibers 2 in 40 degrees? What is the width and wheelbase of your the board in the video? I've got a landyachtz schooner sine wave 32" by 9" and 18.9" wheelbase. They come in 130mm polar bear TKP trucks. Some have a 5 degree positive wedge in the front of the tkp polar bear. I was wondering if 18.9" is little too small for RKP trucks? Like the 130mm bear gen 6 in 40 or 50 degree. The 40 degree will probably offset the squirreliness of the 50 degree bear gen 6. Some say do a 40 in the back and 50 in the front. But the wheelbase might too short for RKP. What do you think?

      I rode a Toy Machine a bit after that and would say that I found the Shorty’s a bit more mellow. The TM was a Leo Romero 8,25” deck and the Shorty’s a 8,5”. For me the Muska board felt almost a bit too flat and “dull” when it came to pop. Rode it on 149 Indy hollows with 54mm wheels.

    • @MarcoEckhardt
      @MarcoEckhardt 7 місяців тому

      This deck has the new hole pattern, so you have to use the “inner” holes on your Indys. Only old decks from back then have the actual wider hole pattern and maybe some re-issues nowadays. This one has 2 WB options in the front, but the distance of the holes are just the standard modern hole pattern.

Generally speaking I think those re issues are definitely fun in bowls also like Suvilahti, but I guess regular TKP trucks like Indys or Ace would fit better there.

    Nice vid. I like that you reviewed a board thats a bit different to the typical stuff out there. I was thinking of getting the 7.75" version to learn freestyle affordably. I'd shave down the nose so it's flat. I'm wondering if the pop on your board would improve if you used trucks like Ace to reduce the wheelbase. Ben Degros has nice vids explaining how truck wheelbase can affect the pop.

      They turn great, as any Indy basically. They do feel slightly different because if the big soft wheels and also because they are higher off the ground due to the riser pads. I added harder bushings, because of my weight and preferences, but other than that nothing special. Keep in mind that they are very narrow and I only picked them because I was going to use wide and off-set wheels!
