so so sooooo smooth. they turn and hold speed great. i'm yet to properly drift them yet tho. will be tho today if the weather holds up.
mr kooky has just started on some 180mm hangers for more technical stuff. if ur interested, let me know and i'll talk to paul (kooky). there is only going to be a limited amount of 180s made, so let me know quick.

Thats a sweet looking rig. What is the srtory with Kooky's, where are they made,pricing etc?

Comment by leighgriffiths on August 13, 2008 at 22:53

its all there in those links, but they are made by a Kiwi longboarder who is well known on silverfishlongboarding.com. he started designing them lat last year i think and has only recently started selling them to the public.
"CNC 200mm 7050 allu hangers with a 8mm high tensile axles threaded and locktight fitted. they are replaceable if needed,
The bushing seat and Kingpin hole is oval allowing full movement and compression
hangers will also fit (Randal and Pogo plates).
Plates are 42* and drilled with 6mm holes for a stronger connection to the board, the nut locks against the plate wall so screw down from the top".
Mr Kooky himself is moving his way over to ASRA very soon and even Australia later this year. so i'm sure you all will be hearing a lot more about them in the near future.

ask him if he will sponsor me a set to ride at maryhill... can he put in 10mm hangers?

I'll talk to him about it. he uses high tensile axles because they are are apparently just as strong as the regular 10mm axles and being 8mm it means you can use whatever bearings you want.
but like i said, i'll talk to him and tell him to get his ass over here on ASRA.
