Hi Jacko. We had some probs with the initial set up and popped out a disk pad, but superglue has fixed that. Have braked from 65k's and it was super strong. Very progressive braking up to total lock up. Trucks are much better than expected. You are stuck with 76 Krytos though.
Might need to get you back over here to try 80K's though :)
My real board is an Evo.

can u put different wheels on it? check out the Break Board. it has a little peddle you step on which clamps the disk breaks... i think it only works with drop-thru boards, otherwise you have to cut a hole through your deck where the pin pushes down on the button to activate the break

Yeah - first time I used it was from the top of Glynburn Rd to the roundabout. Halfway down I was thinking to myself - I really should have tested this first :)
As long as you put your weight to the back before applying the brake - pretty easy really.
