First week of riding Brakeboard - video review

So I hacked a short video review of the Brakeboard truck and wheel kit (version 3.5) together last night. Quality’s a bit rubbish but perfect being the enemy of done etc. so I’ve just uploaded it. Key product details from video are:

Product being reviewed

3.5 version box set trucks and wheels (note current product version is 3.5 – Ben is working on videos and documentation for these but the 3.1 and 3.5 versions are functionally almost identical)

My deck set-up in video

I retained the deck only, opting for trucks (obviously) and wheels from Brakeboard

• 9-ply bottom mount cambered pintail deck
• Modus Riser Pads 1/8” - Blue
• Bones Hardcore Bushings Hardness: Black Hard

My old deck set-up for comparison purposes

The deck was purchased as a complete form the Original Skateboards website

• Trucks: Original S10 250mm Trucks
• No truck spacers (250mm truck width and deck camber clear the wheels even at full lock)
• White high-tensions springs
• Wheels: RAD Advantage 74MM 78a (White)
• Bearings: Cell Ceramics
