Fitz is nuts. The Homer is horrible. The foxy or radikal are much better. Predictable is good. The Homer is a bad joke, quite literally. You're lucky it's not available.

I've heard the Surf Rodz Indeez make for a good front truck. Setup with an adj baseplate and those bushing key thingys.

I have a Homer and yes its frikking awesome. Those CZ's look like there's way too much happening. Once I found the right angle for the kingpin I have never changed it or the wheelbase regardless of what course I'm running. Just fine tune the bushes here and there but sometimes thats not even required.

This is my local spot in Rushcutters Bay. It's not flat, but it's almost flat, so it makes you work. It's no good during daylight because it's a pedestrian thoroughfare, but at sundown the gate at the end gets closed, so it becomes a dead-end. Very peaceful and scenic.

BTW any suggestions for other locales in or near near Sydney welcome. Close would be good! My family are starting to ask who is that strange man with the skateboard.

Yeah on a map it is next to Jensen's Tennis Centre. I'm kind of thinking it would be quiet on a Sunday evening. It does have a short steep section but quickly flattens out. I'll check it out for foot traffic tomorrow night and report back.

Yep, I'm up for that Marek.

Are you thinking the main path that runs from Cleveland St alongside the basketball courts and tennis courts towards Chalmers St? If so, it's pretty busy - could be a bit chaotic. It's actually got a fair bit of pitch to it at the Cleveland St end - would be much faster than Stromlo.

Sydney crew, who's up for some tight slalom practice in prep for Canberra? I have spotted a nice wide new path in Prince Alfred Park, between Cleveland Street and Central Station and it looks like it would be great to run a low key twilight session (path is well lit). I was thinking Sunday evening the 27th of November, about 7pm.

The slalom rankings are now all up to date with all the 2011 races, and the MOSSers are dominating the field, save for for Sydneysider Marek in 1st and BMB Ross in 2nd.

The WFB riptides act softer than their rated duro. You may also need to stack flat washers or cut down a hard bushing >90 to make the riptide the same size as the stock reflex. I think I have 3 flat washers under my riptide boardside bushing - though using a cut bushing would be best as there is less play.
