Kelso Brothers Setups

Take a look at the Kelsos Customs. What we have here is a pretty original setup : a mix of freestyle and anti-rocker : 2 wheels on the front and one in the back !

And the Kelso Brothers will be on Tour with Chino on the Hedonskate East Tour

Whoa….cool.
June 28th, 2006 at 10:01 pm
yeah ive seen some other people rock the 2 in front and one in back setup in the past
cool setups!!
June 28th, 2006 at 10:21 pm
What does this kinda setup do? I’m assuming flat-rockered support but easier for backsides.
June 28th, 2006 at 11:12 pm
do they have thhat one wheel out on purpose

do they have that one wheel out on purpose
June 28th, 2006 at 11:36 pm
well if you look at the bottom view of the last skates you can see the plastic on the frame has been used, the plastic is comin over the side. must be why theyv taken out the 3rd wheel, beta backside grinds =D
June 29th, 2006 at 1:22 am
i wonder why they dont just put an anti wheel in there hmmmm
and Matt g no they both just lost the 3rd wheel on all 4 of their skates

What’s with the 3 wheel thing? NEW FAD
June 29th, 2006 at 3:14 am
probbly the 3 axle brakes all the time so they screw it and ont fix it.

Hah, they just took a wheel out for the photo to throw off all the groms.
June 29th, 2006 at 5:21 am
thats a pretty g idea, i dont think its just to throw people off…anyone see the brotherly love edit in the genre vid, their skating makes sense that they would just have the 3 wheels…im asuming backslide/torque switchups and shit are way smoother…might just have to try that shit
June 29th, 2006 at 5:22 am
and you mostly skate on your front 2 wheels anyway, like when you actually stride
June 29th, 2006 at 5:55 am
my left skate is like that cause i lost some frame spacers. i use my left skate for topsides and royales and it does make it smoother goin from royale to ao topporn
June 29th, 2006 at 6:47 am
F••K that shit… just skate properly.
June 29th, 2006 at 8:21 am
yeah i’ve herad something bout this whole wheel thing, if im not mistaking in theyr other skate they would have the wheel in the back and missing one in front so it be vise versa to the other skate. i think thats what it is
June 29th, 2006 at 8:30 am
I used to roll one skate like that…except my axle broke and i didn’t have the cash to fix it!
June 29th, 2006 at 9:23 am
Three down has been around forever. I used to roll it on my dirks. Always back centre wheel missing cos lean back onbacksides more and stick that way.

sick

June 29th, 2006 at 11:47 am
BAsza they visit Dave about 20 min … Guess for what :P
June 29th, 2006 at 3:56 pm
love the skaters, but with 3 wheels the skates just look gay
June 29th, 2006 at 6:02 pm
they did it do they can have the feel of a flat rocker setup, but not get cought up so easily on backside tricks.
June 29th, 2006 at 6:50 pm
Yeah!
Love innovations!
Can’ t wait to see them live!!!
June 29th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
Innovations?Thats older than Arlo.
June 30th, 2006 at 1:11 am
thats gay
June 30th, 2006 at 11:32 am

i think it should be the other way around. cuz for gaps most of the weight goes on the back wheels. and especially gcs, they break easy, they need the strenght
July 3rd, 2006 at 1:50 pm
patrick,
what do you mean with straight ripped?and why is he a beast?you think he has a nice body?
July 3rd, 2006 at 5:06 pm
“i think it should be the other way around. cuz for gaps most of the weight goes on the back wheels. and especially gcs, they break easy, they need the strenght ”
how often do you see the kelso’s doing gaps?
July 3rd, 2006 at 5:29 pm
so, they were yesterday at the tour in our country and i seen them doing all torqs backslides etc and for them it was no problem to do it no matter 2 or 3 wheels, and colin did just amazing 540 abstracts and other very hot shit!!!
they are the best guys i ever had met.:)
July 3rd, 2006 at 9:30 pm
Yup, when i talked to Colin, why he skates like that, he said that he just would never skate freestyle frames, cuz he thinks that rolling freestyle is not rolling! eh… i love freestyles, but i love Kelsos :D
and sean did some reaaly smooth frontside torques un a ledge, so having a wheel in front doesn`t matter to them!
July 4th, 2006 at 8:09 am
well if freestyle is no rolling, why don´t the skate flat like they used to?all of a sudden it seems to be legal to skate 3 wheels… it´s still in some way freestyle skating!! so pwned yourselves brother kelsos

actully…ive been skating that way since I have started (2-3 years ago) its not new…but it works….the weight for spins and turns are put on ur front wheels, and landing is ur back wheel…so rly, ur thrid wheel is NOT NESSISARY! if u want responce…with better torque/switchup/varation possibilitys…its the way to go, even if it looks funny =D
