I use Big Zigs because they are good and I know them. I use yellow on the front and Green on the back for more grip. Not to sure about the Otangs yet. They are great wheels to.
Townsville ???

Not sure whats happening today but ring me on 8337 1919 before you head out to linden today to see if im at Eagle or not

I used to use finger pucks. Big ones for sliding. I like to use my fingers now.

i don't know what you mean by "bearing hardness".

what board are you putting it on, what trucks will you be using them with and how much do you way?

get reds all round. for your weight greens are too hard and yellows are too soft.
there is no point just buying 1 pack (2 bushings) because you won't be able to properly test them out.
and make sure you get Venom Downhills and not Standard or Supercarve.

i thought you were putting them on a DH board? standards are more for carving not downhill.

well in that case go half yellows and half reds in the "downhill" set. that will do the trick. the only experience i have on anything other than Downhills is Super Carves and they turn as well as a slalom board, which is something you don't want at speed. the shape of the downhill's are much more suited to speed, whether its me on the board or you. If you want some carve to go with that, then go half yellows.
but its up to you. i test the equipment i buy to suit me, no one else. I really can't recommend what will suit you, especially since i haven't properly ridden with you before and have no experience on that board whatsoever. so do what you think is best and remember at the end of the day, you will adapt to anything. the willunga boys learnt on dervish's and worse and they can make it down their hill without any probs. its the rider that controls his board, not the other way round.

Yes I have done Linden, I hit it with leigh, Bow, nicko and my mate Andrew. We had 2 dervish races which was so cool

Do you want to hit it tomorrow?

Any time man, you have my number so give me a call if ya want to hit Linden

Yeah you can try it if I get it today and if I get a ride to BHC. Yes I have been to BHC before but we have found a better place near Belair.

go to skater HQ if you wanna pay 150% more for your goods...

which deck? the drop 43? im not sure if they have any in stock, maybe one... the reason why no one has them is that there are none in australia. The guys making them are getting a new batch done at the moment and they will be in stock in a few weeks

Sorry Jonty,... I missed your message.
Shoemakers that you see in shopping malls dont really have the ability to put this kind of sole on sneakers.
Talk to Judge K,.. he has a bootmaker friend that will do the job for you.

go for it dude. its a sweet board. just get some softer bushings for the carparks and carving and you'll be sweet. definitely an awesome all rounder.

well if your mainly gonna be cruising mellow hills and carparks, then i can understand why. its not the most practical cruiser. the sector 9 you've got should be your cruiser. if its not carvy enough then you need to play around with the bushing set-up.
get the Hellcat for DH and Freeriding (freeriding is basically DH with lots of fast carving, sliding and playing around on your board. its not the same as your average cruising/carving).

hahaha, howd u find out? yeah well it was a while ago like when i first started skating, went out late one night by myself and sent down a hill. tried a toeside slide, the board gripped and i got flung off highside straight onto the back of my head (no helmet). got knocked out for about 5-10mins not sure, and went to hospital but then realised everything tasted the same!! sucked balls, lasted about a year, all good now though. and i always wear a helmet now, so theres a lesso to be learnt~!!!!!

Yeah, met 2 longboarders ur age, which 1 was ur m8?

They are just sport sock that I use for hockey. I wear them because it saves your skin from RR. I had my first high speed fall at about 70, last weekend at the top section of eagle and it saved my ankle from bad RR as I slid along the road.

Converse skate shoes from harbour town for $70 but have not put conveyor belt on them yet as I want to try car tyre. But normally I wear old shitty shoes like my Nike air runners with conveyor belt on the foot break shoe or old shitty Dunlop runners (don’t have conveyor belt yet). The problem with runners is that the mesh on the sides of the shoe get torn up in a fall or when your in a colemen position for cornering/ sliding on the grip tap.

I was wearing them. Anyone that goes from the top of eagle without full leather is fucked if they come of at 65-75. My leathers don't go all the way down to the ankle (there’s about 2inchs of skin exposed) and that’s where I got RR even with those socks on.

haha i went down linden, but no idea where to go but found out that you go down to a carpark or something...havent been to that carpark but apparently its easy...when my bored went down the drain..i asked some guy to help and hes like...no get off my lawn...haha
ill hit linden with you sometime, if you give me a time ill try and get there

hahaha sick as

Jonty,

usually do those for $475 including delivery, just let me know when you are ready

Cheers

hey man do u skate the hills much cause if u skating there saturday send me a message and ill come along if thats alright?

hey, the photos are up for that dervish you asked about.

jonty, we should hit up some hills soon

i havent been to BHC before.

jonty mate, i need to talk to you sometime bout frome. another mate had a small accident and you gotta get people to go up there and clean it up, im not annoyed at you but im gettin annoyed that mates keep hurtin helmselves up there.

I'm not even sure hey. I kinda fluked it when i did one and remebered what it felt like.
When you're sideways you gotta push with your front foot to get back straight, and take pressure off your back foot but not completely..
... and look where you are going to slide.

hey man!

i been on for aaages bro

theyre yellow munkae trucks bro. really nice trucks got em for a super sweet price too.

when I first learned them i just went to a real slow road with just a slight hill and did a reg. 180 then try to do a big long carve going switch and sort of turn back around without sliding. then when you can lean off switch whithout stacking do the same but try kicking the tail out with ur back foot half way through the carve. takes a while but you'll get it. as for the pendies they are usually flukes haha, but if u just keep leaning off after ur 180 instead of getting balance then trying switch, should work lol.

brad who r u

haha sorry man they already paid! gotta be in quick. with stuff like that its first come first serve basis ya know, just trying to get my shit out the door and money in, its all to help me out with traveling and all that so its all gotta go.
might have some more stuff up for grabs in the next 2 weeks so stay posted

yeah its tricky once they get a flast spot its nearly game over, you just gotta round em out before it gets too flat.
the reason you probs got a flat spot from when u shut down is coz u probably locked your board sideways for too long. when u slide u need to keep the wheels spinning, and to do that you need the board to rotate. you cant just lock it sideways and hope for the best because theres nothing to keep the wheels spinning, then they get a small flat spotted area and then lock into it. just do a big long drawn out pendy or throw in a few quicker slides to slow down first. but yeah if you lock it sideways your wheels flat spot and it take either a lot of skill or a lathe to fix em up

only have the Reflex ones so far as they are all the local distributor has managed to get so far, will have the others as soon as Abec ships the new ones.

Cheers

I know that the last order the distro did they didn't supply them (serve the us and europe first) so hopefully next order in about a month.

Sure will as soon as I get them

Mate don't worry about not knowing about the beast there are only three in existence. check my page and look at the feedback jacko gave me on the photo of beast two. I have heaps of shots on there of the building process. Nice to think you mentioned drifting like a beast :)

yeh mate,sure was....good riding on weekend,fastest grom...yeewww,it was you not laurence,i temporarily forgot....keep rippin champ

yeah thats sick dude. we have a sale atm that ends sunday so they should be able to get some good street stuff cheap. cya then...

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you but I have been away for a couple of days.
Grip is $25 and the bushings are $30. Not sure about the bushings as I have to admit to not liking the Venoms at all. I find them too dead for me and much prefer the Reflex.

Cheers mate
