клёво там у вас! у меня в Нови Саде живёт брат - если я как-нибудь приеду навестить и съезжу в Белград, у вас найдётся лишняя доска, чтобы я мог покататься с вами? :)

[@BalkanWalks66]

Привет. Конечно, без проблем.

To make tight turns on a board with a torsion tail, you need a different technique. Start with loading the tail by putting more weight on your back foot when executing the lean. The front truck is hindered by the resistance from the torsion tail, as per its design...this gives a strong return-to-center while pumping with a loose, high-degree front truck. So if you pre-load the tail before a turn, there will be less resistance to the articulation of the front truck. I use this technique commuting in the city on a Pantheon Wiggler (also with the LEPSK8 tail), although it's far from ideal. 😉

Thank you, I'll try this.

You have cool new board. How you compare it with supersonic?

[@BalkanWalks66]

I'll make a detailed comparison with different configurations when my new wheels arrive. But for now when comparing as is: 7-ply supersonic pumps slower, but goes faster and smoother on bad quality asphalt/tiles. So I still use it for commuting/as a transport. SS is the best universal cruiser board for me so far.
Lepsk8 (6.0 deck, the stiffer one) has advantage on smooth asphalt: more stable at speed, especially on downhill (longer wheelbase, precise trucks with spherical bearings perform like magic), pumps more efficient at high speed - wiggle.
I still have plenty of options to play with rear truck on SS and with bushings on Lepsk8. Also maybe the shock pads will make Lepsk8 smoother on bad asphalt. That's why my opinion might change one day.

And what does Vera think about the wheels? I think she rides with KARMA and you ride with Mcfly? which board was the most comfortable?

[@BalkanWalks66]

If by "comfort" we mean something that let you ride chilling and feel confident, then by all means Pranayama + Karma is the most comfortable setup for Vera. She loves this complete and does not want to have any other :)
My opinion: when I tested Supersonic on McFly 86 mm, then on Karma 92 mm, I was surprised that the wheels did not affect the comfort of city riding that much. It was the 7-ply deck that did the most significant impact, it is really phenomenal and feels comfortable even on 80 mm Orangatang Kegel (we'll soon have video about it).
For all other boards we own we could not make the direct wheels comparison because Karmas are too big for them.

Braćo i sestre ❤

Ćao, Alex!

@@BalkanWalks66 looking good, looking sweet, rolling those wheels on the Donji Kalish street 🤣❤️
