hey kooky, so i tried out the setup today and found it to be pretty sweet. i found with the dh base at the front it was a little more stable (although it already is pretty good), and although it didn't ride with quite the same carving motion as the RII base it seemed to 'open up' better at the higher speeds. the strikers were a little harder than my gumballs, so didn't have quite the same intense grip that my wheels provide, although they seemed just as fast and weren't sliding out all over the place.
yeah i reckon you're going to have a pretty gnarly ride when you get all the pieces together! you'll have to show us some action shots!

Hi Noc Im glad that the set up works, Im going to do Wiamia rd from the Hospital down towards town it should be a sweet ride to test things out , More stable but less turny I`ll watch out for that maybe thats why Ive been told to run the front loose. it will have to be a n early morning run to avoid the traffic.so do you prefer the gumballs or strikers?
hey Bomber I must be the only one here on a long board Mapua has some nice hills but the roads are ruff as.
I live up the top of washington valley so I have a nice run at the door step. Have you got any secert stop in Nelson you want to let me in on.
cheers guys.

i'm heading to auckland in a month or two and wondering if there are any riders wanting to show me some runs? also wondering what discipline most riders in auckland ride? (si i know what board i should bring.)
Here it goes - I'm moving to NZ in a few months and would like some tips. I've been reading this thread but can't really pinpoint a few things. Where's the best places to ride? Where are the most riders located?
Would be kinda bullocks to get down there and find out im all alone on the hills!

Most likely Auckland Christchrurch Wellington Dunedin the main cities, there are some good roads and lots more people to ride with you`ll just have to ask around when you get here. .Im from a small town so its basically me trying to crack the DH speed thing here and Im getting there slowly,,, small town not so many good roads, big town = big roads, the thing about NZ is you need transport places are spread out so be preperd to travel for your fun, So which town are you going to?
My EVO deck arrived today!
so tonight Im out on the town I`ll put some pics up soon. I must be the only one in Nelson with an Evo.
just hope it dosn`t rain, arh who cares about rain ,Im so stoked to have it I`ll try an do it justice.
Gonna get some half arsed job and then just board around, heard many great things about NZ so its gonna be great. Transportation shouldn't be a problem, i'm quite sure i can uppgrade my swedish driving lisence so i can do some half arsed course down there to get a NZ valid one. Gonna check that up even more though.
Its basiclly a plane flight for me to any town , so not much no but when I have the time I certinaly will, Ive been wanting to do brooklyn hill and there are some mad in land mountain roads down south so theres another trip.
As for your liecence you will most likely only have to do an easy paper abc questions .
my wife is Dutch and thats all she did, easy as,
cheers
