Depending on your style, this board can handle anything! Quite agile in the pool, yet stable bombing a hill (the 19"wb makes it sketchy but fun!). The nose and the tail are less steep than a common street deck to have a nice pop even with bigger wheels. Sliding and freeriding is extrimely fun and easy: I could work on my stand ups and find my stance as soon as I stepped on the board. May add some rising pad to skate loose but the wheel wells still do their job, matching perfectly with the indys. I'm currently running a set of Independent 169 trucks, Abec11 retro freeride 86a / 3dm cambria 62mm 78a.
While chopping down two tall barrel bushings, we thought that the cut off rests could be reused to make a pair of plugs. The new generation of Calibers have a round KP hole, which makes the hangar free to lean. there is enough space to fit the plug, we just sanded a bit the paint on the bore. a new generation hangar on top and an old one below. After roughly cutting the bushing with a knife (definitely not the best way to do that!) we put the slice in the bushing seat. We marked the edges with a marker and trimmed with the knife again to the kp hole diameter. The slice is about 2/3 mm thick, we sanded and smoothed all the corners on the grip of a skateboard. May pe patient sanding little by little and checking oftet if the plug fits the hangar hole. we used a very hard bushing, which was easier to cut and sand, and may last longer. the plug in place, ready to ride The plug avoids side-to-side play in the hangar. Combined with a good tight pivot cup,...
