But it comes down to what is avalable, so hard to get slalom gear.

Comment by Boomerdog on May 7, 2013 at 21:39: the draw back with the radikal is you have to unwind the kingpin every time you have to take the hanger off, the kingpin is recommended to be loctited back in & the titanium kingpin is recommended to be changed every 12 months due to the flex in it, I found this one out as my kingpin snapped clean in the baseplate a few months ago mid run at top speed...scary shit to loose the whole hanger on the road...horses for courses though..everyone's decision is gonna be different...

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on May 7, 2013 at 21:35: Radikal are great. Once they're dialed in you may never adjust them again for GS and Hybrid.

You'll either have fun or get a major case of the shits dialing in. Wedges and deck bolts are often a challenge. Adjustable angle plates certainly make life alot simpler.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on May 7, 2013 at 20:13: A Radikal Claw has the same geometry and is virtually identical to a GOG Classic. I doubt anybody could tell the difference riding them. The Radikals have a better axle design (less likely to snap), but if you use large centre-set wheels they can bite the baseplate - I've never had a problem running BigZigs with them though.

A GOG Foxy has the advantage of being able to change baseplate angles, which I would really like, as I like to use the same deck for every course, but change angles depending on the speed/tightness.

Premium Member Comment by Daniel Monaghan on May 7, 2013 at 19:47: if you get GOG's you won't die wondering. Radicals are hard to work on. But I have lost to plenty of people on Trackers and Bennetts.

Comment by Boomerdog on May 7, 2013 at 19:36: I gotta claw on my Kowalski gs, surfy feel on the rear..you know what I'd recommend though..starts in g & ends in g...lol.. ;)

Comment by Ben freifeld on May 7, 2013 at 18:57: I've ridden a board with a claw, felt nice, but gogs felt better. Thats just my opinion though....should try em both.
