Comment by shane strahan on April 18, 2012 at 9:04: alright man thanks for your help

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on April 17, 2012 at 22:06: 60 degrees is about right for a front slalom truck, but Randal hangers aren't great for slalom. For a cheap starter setup I'd recommend a Bennett for the front truck and a Tracker RT/S 106 for the rear truck. Throw in a standard 8 deg Khiro wedge front and rear, both with the skinny side facing forward, and away you go.

Comment by shane strahan on April 17, 2012 at 21:18: okay thanks for your awesome help man, would 60 degree randal baseplates be a dumb idea?

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on April 17, 2012 at 11:07: Shane, 150mm trucks are very wide for slalom. The Tracker RTS/X are 106mm, and Bennetts are 110mm - those are about the right width.

Comment by shane strahan on April 17, 2012 at 8:43: also some 150mm trucks ? i see that all salom riders use those

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on April 16, 2012 at 22:57: Something around 9-10 inches wide, with a wheelbase of around 19-22 inches (inner truck holes to inner truck holes), and quite stiff.

That's the important stuff. Once you've got that done you can consider various concave shapes and kicktails.

Comment by shane strahan on April 16, 2012 at 22:49: hey guys i need a good setup for salom? i've already got otang inheats.

and if i was gonna make a home made salom board, what would be some features that would make it good for salom?

We're doing it all again tomoz, same time (don't forget to wind your clocks back).

Hopefully it will be just as nice.

Cya's there.

I've been riding just opposite that bottom section of the loop junction.

I also highlighted a great parking spot to save the long trudge back up the hill at days end. Its on Eton St. but you have to come in off Merton St. South and follow the signs to the Bee Garden.

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on March 29, 2012 at 19:30: Who's keen for a slalom sesh at Sutho this sat?

Weather looks like it might be okay. Last day before we plunge into post daylight savings.

Jack and I have about 60 cones and I don't mind setting a course to suit even the newest of riders. The trick I've found is to just start further down the line and work your way up the hill as you get used to it.
