Premium Member Comment by Marek on February 21, 2012 at 8:20: Adam, I love that shape. Modern slalom boards seem to have lots of width up front now just like yours. It is of course the basic shape of the roadster and remind me of this new Kebbek http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=148&t=8107

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on February 20, 2012 at 14:25: Hey Dude,
you might be a bit closer to Steve Daddo for expert dialing in of your slalom board.

Time for SE Qld to start getting serious about wiggling again!

Premium Member Comment by Adam on February 20, 2012 at 10:24: crap the pics keep streching out of shape, you get the idea.

Premium Member Comment by Adam on February 20, 2012 at 10:23: Super keen to get my wiggle on. got wheel wells and final shaping sand this arvo.

heres the deck so far, its probs more a GS, ditch slalom, general slasher commuter deck.

Comment by Bozac on February 19, 2012 at 21:10: just look at robbo and jackson's results on the CHC, they are probably the best people in Oz to help dial your setup for bushings and wedging

Comment by dude on February 19, 2012 at 20:48: whats goin on pumpin dudes. if i take my slalom board with trucks, wheels and wedges to hoppy will they sets it up for me with bushings and such? cheers, dude

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on February 19, 2012 at 12:38: take a look at your user image bugs.
For a first time slalomer 125 trucks are fine. Esp with the size board he wants to use without having to buy another one.

Comment by Cents on February 19, 2012 at 10:33: There are CNC Ronins? I thought they used a precision mould over CNC O.o

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on February 19, 2012 at 10:09: 125mm might be OK for LDP, but for slalom it's too wide. Narrower gives you more grip and is more responsive. I like about 100mm.

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on February 18, 2012 at 19:51: Why make trucks from cast steel? I would have thought lighter being the better option. Aluminium can be cast and then hardened to be just like 6 series billet used in most precisions.

Casting a blank and then machining the bush, pivot and axles is all thats required for a high end performance truck. The rest is all just looks and marketing.
