Frikkin genius! There is a velodrome in Melbourne along the Yarra near Glenferrie Road I always drop in on when I skate past, and gun a circuit or 3, but it seems obvious (NOW) it is perfect for a surf skate. Cyclists seem bemused but pretty chill once you touch base with them or make sure (after watching) you avoid their lines so they can stay in the zone. They always seem to get into passing must make them feel faster or make training more interactive to gun past. They always nod/wave bye seeming upset when I give up. I suppose even cyclists like sharing with someone that understands the grind and never-ending push. Can't believe I have never hit the velodrome up on a surf-skate
Hi, Shane! I am going to visit AU for the next few weeks. Got one important question for we surfskate lovers: how can we take surfskate board on airlines? for example, flight from MEL to BNE.
"Hello? Hello, operator?" "Yes, we seem to have lost the connection! Could you try again please?" "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we've lost contact with Mars 2-4-7 at this time."
Bonjour Shane Lai, est ce que ces trucks peuvent être bon pour pomper de l'avant (faire un point A vers un point B). Ils semblent super bien tourner pour les parc et les bowlsl mais j'utilise ma planche aussi, juste pour me déplacer. Je pose la question sans avoir à changer les bushings, seulement les réglages des trucks (puisqu'ils sont réglables) Merci!
I guess a velodrome has a smoother surface than track, because I had huge problems pumping on my YOW Meraki with stock wheels! I had better luck on the smoother concrete entrance path! Felt sticky, but oddly I could skid quite easily. I didn't understand...
Yes. Surfskates are always taller than an equivalent skateboard. This is because they turn way more than typical skateboard trucks, so if you didn't have it tall, the wheel would bite into the deck causing a crash. If you want a low board that can also be pumped, then I highly recommend the Pantheon Supersonic that is way more efficient in a straight line than pretty much any surfskate, but it isn't nearly as fun to carve on as almost any surfskate.

Those Trucks are killer! Super Carvy and would love to get them on our boards!

@ricktang7691 not sure, but I put mine in the suitcase, it fits diagonally and with Qwiktruks, I just had to slide the trucks off
@@shanelai2515 Thank you Shane！
Cadê os vídeos novos😢??

@@nikai7778 oui, ils sont super pour pomper de longues distances. Je les recommende définitivement
@@shanelai2515 top, backé! Merci!

i was looking at the track today and was thinking how well it would work lol thanks.
@@ShunsukeK1 maybe if you had harder/faster wheels? I only have the stock YOW, which are quite soft.
Jay Chou?
I have one near me but it’s not open to the public only events :(
that board sits very high..is so much riser really necessary?

Why does it require so much riser?
