Speed Wobbles and You

*drool*
That would be bomb.

Thanks for the input.
Really, I appreciate it. :]
Gonna keep hitting the hills until it snows and sticks.

the ramps in downtown minneapolis are generally maintained fairly well. if anything, you can get used to your wheels randomly breaking loose on you. if you're going to do that though, don't even think of doing it without helmet/gloves.

Thanks for the advice. I agree that when you relax you don't get the wobbles or it is at least easier to recover from.

idk if someone posted this allready but bad feetplaement ang weight distribution accross the board is a big factor
another way to get rid of wobbbles is if you get them as quick as you can get downlow and grab that board and hold on that happend to me one time i was gettin wobbles when i was getten up from my tuck and i had bad foot placement and thanks to my quick thinking and this guy on youtube who showed me this trick i didint eat ****.the second i got down there was 0 speedwobbles

grabbing the board adds outside influence on the relationship between your feet and the board.. i only ever grab the board for toeside predrifts

[SunSet6]

well if it gets me outta alot of pain ill do it

[aahampshire]

its all in your head.. you only get wobbles when youre scared.. if you enjoy speed then it will no longer happen

Very good thread. +rep

this thread is awesome, but I am really curious on how the tighteness (or loosness) of the trucks effects the speed wobbles. I have been suffering pretty bad lately with wobbles...should I tighten or loosen or neither?

i am a firm believer in "loose trucks save lives".. tighten them a little but dont go overboard, just like you wouldnt go overboard loose.. just practice your tuck.. stand on your board inside in your tuck for like 10min, get your ankles strong, then practice bein very smooth and not twitchy going slow and then go fast, faster, faster, ect.

practice 100x

I actually got alittle tip awhile back from some locals.

At my gym they have this thing called a bosu balance ball, I stand on that with 20 pound weights in my hand and it helps me hold tuck and keep steady on the biggest of hills, Ive only been doing it for about a week and i already love bombing hills

Tightening your trucks only result in longer wobbles that are harder to bring back in control, in my opinion

[aahampshire]

Yeah right!!

just because you cant do it, doesn't mean it cannot be done

isn't that pretty obvious?
