You will see one eventually, but the Mystery Model is not.

If by 3rd party you mean me then yes I faced my 184mm Indy 215's to 180mm then replaced the axles with 8mm and spaced it out to 196mm's of downhill goodness

but I think that would technically be 2nd party. However there is at least one member here who is doing something similar and had I sent them to him then it would indeed be 3rd party

Must have thruster!!!!!!!!!!!

**animal chin** · 04-09-2008 05:13 PM

Thruster will ship a week after the bigfoot...I really don't know if the world is ready for Thruster.

**Wells** · 04-09-2008 05:20 PM

I've been partying with the thruster for a few days now and it's been a 24 hour rager. I'm doing 20mph ollies over sewer caps at 4 in the morning because I can't stop skating. My schoolwork is suffering and my girl just left me; but I don't care.

**Ian** · 04-09-2008 05:26 PM

What do you have it setup with?

Dude, I don't care about the world, I care about me.

Mine has Indy 149s and 66 superballs. I've said it before and I'll say it again those wheels are crazy grippy.

**Jam** · 04-09-2008 06:35 PM

THRUSTER=best board evar.

risers or no? I was thinking bennets though for a super turny and pumpable yet ollie-able board.

**Wells** · 04-09-2008 06:58 PM

I've got 1/8" risers; but I'm wheelbiting like crazy. I'll probably grind in some wheel wells and/or get a beefier riser in there.

Bennetts could be hot. I'd run a 5/16" flat riser up front and a rubber Khiro de-wedge in back (I think it's like 8º; but I could be wrong).
