Premium Member Comment by haggy on October 18, 2011 at 22:16: What date shall we run a Blue Mtns GS race to cap off the CHC2011?

Canberra is 3-4 Dec. How about two weeks later, 17 December?

What do people think?

Comment by Mark Gorman on October 17, 2011 at 19:06: Thanks

dont dislike much but leeches are up in the top 10 :)

Premium Member Comment by Marek on October 16, 2011 at 21:05: Hey Mark I'm sure pc and the naccos guys will be along directly to correct me but people usually get there early for setup 9 or 10 but timed rundown not until a bit later 11 or so. One unexpected requirement for Kincumber is insect repellent for the mozzies and leeches!

Comment by Mark Gorman on October 16, 2011 at 13:36: What time is Kingcumba ? :)

Comment by Rainer on October 13, 2011 at 21:26: We often go to Port Stephens as we have family there, so next time we are up I would like to skate Kincumber drain, but for now I am looking foward to the Springy ditch in the next few weeks.

Premium Member Comment by PC on October 13, 2011 at 11:41: Rainer...Wadalba is on the Central Coast of NSW. Just north of Wyong.

Be great if we had a few people coming up from Vic for the races.

Race day in 1 week.

Slalom at Wadalba on the sunday - head to head hybrid racing.

Comment by Cents on October 10, 2011 at 23:25: There was 68a but people said it was too soft. The next duro up is 78 (too hard?). Yeah the riptide wtb bushings feel great! They are soft but have the spring and rebound that the khiro's lack.

Also not meaning to jump you like this but what's going on with the trucks? I'm very interested in buying if you'll machine them!

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on October 10, 2011 at 23:13: Try making the bottom bush slightly harder but keep the top bush nice and soft.

It'll take the squishy feeling out making for sharper turning.

The bottom bush carries the bulk of your body weight.

Wow! 73a. Now your talking. I bet she really dives when you turn your Bennet.

Comment by Cents on October 9, 2011 at 18:06: Its got a 5.0 in it at the moment and the bottom bushing is sitting on top of 3 washers to get it to the right height. They are both barrels 73a. Yes I meant the seat in the hanger. Its mainly the bottom bushing which pops out.

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on October 9, 2011 at 17:57: Use barrels instead of cone bushes. No way those suckers can pop out of place.

I agree with Bugz, risers all the way instead of harder bushes. My rig rolls quite a high deck height but it makes little difference when you don't push or footbrake much like slaloming.
