for fast downhill, I love the Green Venom Barrels, but have been playing around on Red Venom Standards lately for freeriding and love the way they feel even at speed. but you got to remember, its all about personal preference and what suits you and your setup? if your a light dude, greens might be too hard. if your a heavy dude, you may even wanna look into something harder than green venoms. Also if you've got a board with a long wheelbase, your gonna want something that will allow for more turn, but if you have a short wheelbase you don't want to be running soft bushings. but then again of course it comes down to preference, so maybe you would want that.

my suggestion, buy a bunch of good bushings (Venoms) and do a bit of mix-n-matching and you'll find the perfect ride. then use the ones you've got left on other boards. thats the good thing about venoms, you can use them for flatland carving as well on the right setup.

Wow the SABRES are really awesome!!
Ive got the green/purple combo like Kooky said and the trucks are alive.
In the back Ive got a green Sabre and a stepped oldschool Stim for some stability, and Im gonna get them up to speed on the weekend. Ive been kicking around the neighborhood and I am loving the feel. I know they are gonna be great for DH too.

Kick-ASS!!
