I was up Northern beaches today and while I was driving I saw 3 groms riding slalom style along the footpath. It looked totally cool.
They were lil surfer kids about 10-12 yrs old bustin out really deep carves and 180 standup slides. All barefoot sporting dogtown style the whole way. They all had sidewinder trucks pumping along without the need to push.
Great to see the next gen appreciating more than just double kicks and ollies.

Anyways it re-ignited a few ideas I had going. I'd like to see if Indy's hangers would fit so you could vary hanger widths with standard parts.

I had a go at allawah when Mozart used to ride his sidewinders. The only thing was they were just a bit too wide.

BTW. I did a pencil sketch to see if a middle randal knuckle could be done.
Looked pretty wild and resembled Chaputs double Fyre truck Haha!

i hear that if you put the hanger on the baseplate without the middle knuckle then they ride like indys. never tried it though so im not completely sure
