i love pumping
-
i can only pump with really long boards with good flex. i can go up really steep hills
-
i know this song. is it patchworks?
-
@Rusty4488 so assuming i had angled risers, how would i angle the front one and back one to pump better, i have the same problem... and does a dropthru make a difference with pumping? i use it for downhill and i wanna start sliding!!! ;)

@gdrocker93 I can't say for sure why that is happening, but maybe try adjusting your trucks, such as de-wedging the back one and wedging the front. You want ur front truck to be turning better than the back

I seem to lose speed when i try 2 pump. Everytime i lean on my frontside it just slows down.. I got a homemade board about 30 inch with thunder trucks

@YoYowIzArD1 - youtube doesn't let me post a link but if you Google "pavedwave Dan Gesmer PDF" you'll find a link to Dan Gesmer's guide. he's the only guy I know who's really tried to simplify it to a couple pages. but if you really want to learn I'd advise you hook up with guys who slalom, watch a lot, try out their boards and ask lots of questions.

How good are Gullwing Sidewinder Trucks on a Sector 9 pintail for pumping? I live on campus and I usually use my board to get around and it would be wonderful if I could get the pumping technique down. Could I get basic directions for the procedure? Thanks.

They're pretty heavy, and high, and as a system they work great for carving hills, but if you want to make them more pumpable, remove the middle insert from the rear truck to make it more "traditional", then use stiffer bushings, and enough flat riser to match the height of the front sidewinder.
