hey i am coming tomorrow to test my leathers and full face out just so ya know, i dont think sophie is spending the weekend or even one night :( so yeah go skating.

also sunday night we got a filmer coming down who wants to do a small report on longboarding so basically just dont say too much to her but she wont screw us over (my family) though i got a feeling she will like oscar (hint hint, she is new in town) lets do some skating.



which forces you looking at? i use their 35 deg trucks on my evo and they are the shit callum you NEED to run 50-deg plates on your DHR as your going to get fuck all turn from it, you could also use indy's on it and still be very stable

the dh race is dewedged on both ends... you wouldn't really want to put 35* plates on it. Put 50*'s all round and wheels around 75mm.

yeah they were cheap (50$) but they make a scarry clicking nosie when i turn hard to one side.....

forces are okay. they're basically randal copies. they're decent trucks but you read alot of mixed reviews in terms of quality.

i'm about 70kg, i thought it was going to be a bit hard for me plus the fact the the board is droped and only 8" wide so i wouldent get much levrage...as for the baseplates im not sure will see when i get them...
i like the sound of big wheels as theres some pretty rough roads out here and the 65's are what you would call....smooth....also collecting some wheels with the stuff from ludi, not sure what they are but they look a a bit bigger the 65 in the pic....what are force trucks like? i picked mine up cheep so not sure of rep/qualaty

I can sell u a set of 90mm flywheels for $90. They're pretty new. I've only ridden them once.

i think 97mm for now is overkill. those are huge wheels. boardshop should have them but seeing how they're fucking huge its gonna cost more than usual.

randals sounds good. what baseplates are they? if they're 50 maybe put 35degree force plates and randal hangers in the back and 50 randals in front.

95 are hard bushings! unless you're really heavy. get some venoms or reflexes :)

dont use 97mm flywheels unless you want to bend your randals/force axles, its rare that you'll ever need wheels that big anyway, go for 70-76mm wheels (otangs, bigzigs). as for bushings stick between 85a-93a for someone of your size.

ok i just got home and slaped on some force trucks and speed demon 83a 65mm on it, before i start selling body parts to buy gear does anyone have any suggstions?, im geting a pair of randel 180 on a set up from ludi so i was thinking id swap the trucks, also geting some 90 and 95 duro bushings. the "team choice" from the landys site was bears and 97mm flywheels...anyone know where i can find anthing anywhere near that big lol
