The Earthwing Skateboard Army

[Archy]

Ryan (or Mark ), what's the top bushing there? Orange, 81a venom barrel? Looks too translucent. Also, if I may ask (Ryan): How much do you weigh? And how's it ride? Bushing combo that rocked on the old, wedged narrowglider doesn't feel quite right on the new, unwedged widerglider. So it's tweaking time.

Also II: anyone running one on 215s? Footbite? With fishballs on 169s, the board is a touch wider than the truck/wheel width, and it feels a little squirrely.

This is so much fun.

And Brian as I ride it its actually starting to flex a bit more...this is turning into my favorite all rounder. A fitting replacement to that first Supercharger that I love so much.

They look too transluscent to be red venoms (mine don't like like that, they're a more solid color). I bet they're some sort of Randal bushing.

Some shots from a short ride on the glider today.

i went to the superglider setup thread for my answer, but they do look translucent...

Any blemish graphic decks left? I'd like a few of them and the blems will enable me to bulk buy.

Yep they are red Venom cones. I am running green eliminator bottoms, red cones on top. This is the fourth bushing setup I've had on this board and I love it. I weigh 120 and the ride is perfect. I have a soft 1/8 riser and the trucks are loose, but not rattling. I originally had a cup washer on the bottom but I switched to flat and the difference was very noticeable (and MUCH better.) It's a very carvy and maneuverable setup, with just the right amount of stability for all things fast and dangerous. And no bite at all.

I've been riding at a park near my house with a thin, hilly path that goes through the woods and around a lake. There's also a lot of pedestrians. I've found this setup to be perfect for an environment like this so I can be going major fast but still turn on a dime, or carve it up in a parking lot on flat ground and have lots of fun pumping around. I love the Elims so much (Thanks again Mark!) because of the rebound to center and the stability and the Super Carves compliment them so well, adding a really surfy carvy felling.

The bushings do look very translucent in that picture though. Must have been the lighting and the focus on the background.
Here's a better picture of the bushing setup:

I love that no one has notcied the picture I posted....I figured it would cause a stir...lol

haha I saw it. Looks like super fun. Doesn't look drastically different from the current Supercharger though. Still, super awesome.

i did....looks like a fatcharger...I'd have to see it in person to make a judgement...looks nice but one of the things I really like about my supercharger is how soft it feels

How does that ride with Holey's Mark? Any wheel bite issues?

[sparkmarker]

SuperLarger. Looks cool.

must....have....soon....
That thing is way sick! 10" wide if I read right? WB still around 31" or whatever? So nice. My next board FOR SURE.

I agree...

Still looks cool though

I agree...

Still looks cool though

I should clarify...I like the end to end softness coupled with the exceptional torsional stiffness....Thursday and Friday I skated from my house out to the beach and back....about 12miles of up and down on mixxed surfaces...I could never skate this on my Hypercarve, just not damp enough

Totally excited about the new Charger. I have been eyeing one for a long time now since I am doing more trail riding. The additional 1/2 inch in width makes it even more attractive. I hope the graphic is updated from the old one. In fact, the graphic on Mark's board looks great!
