But you don't DH...and you said you weren't a DH rider as well....so why should anything u say about DH be taken seriously?

cos i know my shit when it comes to stability, you have seen the way i setup my evo, its got a 0deg back truck angle, I think the fact that i am racing newtons playground means i do some DH but hey your call is your call, i have said alot of the time that i am not a DH'er first and for most, even in sliding you need to be stable while still having as much turn as you can get and your on a board that is vibrating and shaking constantly while riding and tend to get wobbles very very quickly because of that

I am racing for my own reasons man, I can ride DH i am comfy riding DH and i am 100% commited to doing it, I am a marginally stronger hardwheel slider and would hazzard to say that if there was a slide comp at newtons i would be very compedative. I know that once i get there i am going to take the hill, i never want to be the guy who gets up there and pussies out

just forget it fendy, i for one have given up, all will be revealed at newtons don't worry.

as for the trucks i foresee problems turning at high speeds because of the lean, it would make any setup really drifty, but i think if you changed the shape of the cam to eliminate some lean it might be alright. that being said, i think it would make an awesome freeride hack and slash down a mountain truck. also i like my turning to have some progression, linear turning trucks feel weird if you ask me, so i would never run it without the o-rings but thats just personal preference. wouldn't it be pretty heavy though seeing it has that counter balance thing so that the trucks center of gravity is at the middle?
