for GS i would say the randals, the bennetts are really turny, and by that i mean REALLY turny... and a bit of a bitch to set up properly. the standard bottom bushings is alot taller than any normal bushing, so if you want to replace it you have to get specially made bushings, or put two conical bushings in (like an hourglass) or just put in a bunch of washers to fill in the gaps...
i would suggest going out to do some slalom practice first before trying to race slalom, its really easy and will make things alot more fun for when you come to townsville. go grab a bunch of cheap flower pots from bunnings and some chalk and go mark out a course with 7ft straight cones and 10ft offsets along a nice and mellow hill, and keep tweaking the course so you get it perfect, then make the cones tighter and tighter and go faster and faster
Hey fella, it's Elliot. We skated together EOTH a while back. I work with Matty and Des (My dad). Hows life? gonna come up to brown hill creek with us sometime?
Yeah bro, i left a request. If I don't see you on the weekend, hope the run goes well and it's not too hot. Skated west beach last night and the halfpipe was still too hot to touch even after 9. End of the world type weather much?
Yeah, everyone seems pretty hazy about this weekend. Looks like every man for himself ATM. Maybe every1 will go BHC rd next week, or maybe this new place, if it's promising.
You want to get the bottom of the luge as low as possible so it will depend on the thickness of the channel you are using and what trucks you are using too. Send me some sketches of what you are building and i'll take a look. Aim for a wheelbase of around 110-120mm and put the front truck as close to your ass as possible.
Hey, what r ya doing on this weekend? Am I right that people are going to BHC coz Dani is over? Thinking of going to that? We should catch up for a skate, ayden can come, or if there's gonna be a big gathering at BHC I'll see you then.
Cool lol sweaty. Well I dont know if we're going Sunday either anyway. Not too sure if we're doing BHC, we might just have a small group parkade Sat or Sun. If you're free ur welcome to come.
nah my mate with the paris trucks had band saws etc and heaps of plywood etc so we were gonna make some little slalom boards with the help of silverfish...
the paris trucks my mate owns have NOT BEEN USED, they have been taken out of the box but they are probs back in that same box...how much for them?
Sweet as. I'm probably gonna get randals with venom bushings. You'll definitely have to come for a bomb in Willunga sometime haha. I may come up and skate with you guys on Sunday. I'll see what happens..
Hopefully both dude. If I get the toeside pendy you will know. You will hear me screaming with joy from your place. I wanna give Jacko's scorpion cam a go while im up to.
you know what i really wish they send one over... i think thats gonna be my new speed board the new shape is realling appealing to me and that W-Concave sounds fucken sexy... if not then i'll get one when i go over for Danger Bay... gotta pay shipping costs so its not as easy as "hey can i have a board"
yo nicko, whats the go for today? you wanna do some corner stuff in Belair? Bowditch can't come out, so i got no one to sesh with at the moment.
i tried to ring you but i couldn't get through. i lost my mobile, so give me a ring on 83317069.
Na, Dion (dougie) wants one I reckon. He's just gone to Africa for three weeks and is in debt because of it haha. So I'm not sure when he's getting one
not sure about this weekend. I just got my glyde! =D friggin stoked! But i also just got my package from hopkin (which has the griptape) and it's only 50 cm long :'( when i ordered it i thought it was in inches haha. So I'll have to stretch it or something. Not so stoked haha. I may come out for a roll with you guys
"This seems to be the place to post this;
I have a set of 56mm Slide A's that have been ridden on once and slid about 6 or 7 times. I'm particularly looking for trades (and will add cash) but money will do fine. I can chuck in a set of bones reds as well."
how much for the reds and the slide a's? (cash)
Hey there my incredibly tall friend. Hows things??
Yea I love the glide man but I have only really been using it for free riding purposes. I havent got it set for downhill so havent gone over 60 on it I dont reckon. Tis an awesome board though, massively wide platfor so heaps of room for the feet to move around. Good concave and the little wing at the back is great for foot braking as you can lock your heel into place and your foot cant move around the place.
Ok dude yep for sure i live about an hour from kenilworth there is a nice road up there with some sweeping corners probley only like 1km long but.
Will have to get in contact when it comes closer, but theres no public transport out that way.
