Set up sharing.

So I'll start.
It's a skatement prototype. It's wider cause I made it.
30 by 10. Wheel base options 19-21.5.
At the moment it's set at 21.5
Bennett 5.0 front. Bear bottom washer and yellow reflex barrels too and bottom.
The bear washer is a god send it means you can use a standard barrel on the bottom of the Bennett truck. It's set up on a 1/2 inch riser.
On the back I have a randal 125 with a 42 degree baseplate. Set up on a 1/8 riser and a 7 deg dewedge. I put a dark orange reflex barrel on the deck side and a green venom barrel on the road side. (i read somewhere that slalom setups on a back truck usually have the harder barrel on the road side. Hmm wonder if this concept would be good for downhill.)
12mm tub concave over the trucks and a W through the middle of the deck....
I know it's not a foam core wefunk or a pavel super kickass roadster (I have no idea of what the boards are called) but I'm stoked on it.

Looks rad fitz I gotta swap my back bushings harder. Maybe the green venom and that pink venom you gave me with the plasmas its hard as. Harder than the green. And maybe wedge up the front a tiny bit.

Both of the trucks 35+ years old and to me are still some off the best old school slalom set ups you can have.

Wow. I'm guessing ACS would turn much like a Bennett.

Is this what they look like?

I must say I haven't heard of them before. Nothing like vintage gear shining through with proven good geometry. I bet if you put some modern day bushes in they go great guns.

Thats them Fitz got them set with Large barrel Doh Doh Blue 80a and a Med Tracker Hourglass Black ( Dont know the durometer Standard on Race Tracks ) aprox 80ish , Think the Med Tracker bush is to small was hoping to do more testing today but just started to rain. the old orange rubber ones are huge Had a go with Large Reflex green 70 something but felt a bit to soft for my weight .Any sugestions for 105kg
