    hey
    ok so every one tell me to tighten my trucks, and some say hard bushing as well, at the moment im using soft bushing but tighting them when going downhill. would it be better to tighten them with hard bushings as well. But in my opinion i still want to be able to turn around some corners???
    cheers

  • hugh mason

    hey leigh
    my mate has asked me to contact you about getting a new board.
    he is looking for something that he can free-ride on, but is still quite capable of doing a bit of DH (not real fast DH).
    he was thinking about getting the helcat is this the best board he can get to do this, or is there a better choice.
    thanks...
  • hugh mason

    ok i will tell him that,
    and what trucks, wheels etc. should he get.
    thanks..
  • hugh mason

    hey bro, i just thought i would thank you, the video **Speedboarding "That Hill"** was the reason why i started to look into the sport of longboarding. And i still watch it today, just thought u wuld say thanks for introducing me to the best thing that has happened in my life, cya at BTB
  • leighgriffiths

    glad i could be that inspiration that began it all. thanks man. its funny, i watched that video today for the first time in over a year i reckon. amazing to see how we've progressed.
    be good to ride with you one day. unfortunately it won't be at BTB as i can't afford to take more time off from work. I'll be traveling to Canada and the US to race this year, so need all the money i can get.
