Whoever did the art for the Killswitch should have also done it for the FSMini.

**rodgon** · 09-28-2009 07:48 PM

i want to know who the artist was. want to see more of his work for sure.

OH GOD. KILLSWITCH DEELITE. KILLSWITCH IS ENOUGH! i marvel at that board. making it a deelie? i would just be fed up with it. that too much. but honestly i see the killswitch deelite being within $450 and $600
seems like areasonable amount for an already expensive board. though i get a small feeling that rayne'll put it at $400.

IF there ever is one. It's sure not on the dealer list with the other yet to be released Dee-Lites for fall 09.

I think you should try to figure out where the money came from first, and then you can buy a 250lbs anvil and have it shipped to my house.

dude. im gonna put a seatbelt and skyhooks onmy board.

I really doubt they will put a dee-lite killswitch on the market. If they do, it will cost the same as the Demonseed Dee-lite most likely considering the mould is made and they won't have to do anymore research and development, etc. Also, nobody is going to be able to justify paying more for it. There's yet to be a dee-lite pleasure dome deck right?

Hellcat and Avenger are dee-lites.

people dont need justification to buy stuff other than "i could afford it". the d-lite avenger and hellcat both have pleasure dome.

Forest Green grip tape. Im gonna cut out the letters of Cook College, the environmental science school at Rutgers that I'm a student in

**Terrorsathan** · 09-28-2009 09:00 PM

Be ready to replace that green grip fairly soon... colored and clear grip... well... sucks.

I beg to differ. The clear grip on my landyachtz is doing VERY well, and has been for over a year now

I don't mean that they have to justify it to someone else, I meant it as...I just bought a deck yesterday, I can't really justify buying another one for a couple weeks at least kind of thing. Or, I can buy a Hellcat that is whatever 3kg (IDK, light as hell regardless,) for $150, or a Dee-lite for $400. Yah feel me?

You could get a Dee-lite hellcat with Randals for $450, or a Regular Hellcat with Aeras for $450. They would weigh practically the same amount, and you'd have the functionality of precisions over Randals.

i hear you on that, it has been a while since i bought a deck. mostly because i love my current setups and because they are expensive. but then i think about Maguns, the fact that people have them and they are $400+ depending on the generation tells me justification comes from the ride rather than the price.

**stringtheory** · 09-28-2009 09:24 PM

Precisions weigh more than cast trucks, as do bamboo decks vs. foam cores. So, the weight would be quite different.

That being said the functionality of any truck is based on the rider, and the purpose of the set up, not just the fact that it's cnc'd. In fact, I'd hardly say any precision truck can boast functionality as one of it's selling points. Most are built with a very narrow range of intended use. Randals are more functional than any so called precision.

i totally agree. aside from how they are made and varying differences in size, precision tucks have not brought much else to the table in terms of truck function.

Maguns have the most superior craftsmanship on the precision market. I have ridden them and can honestly say that they are awesome trucks. They have a very unique feel and I could see how riders could absolutely love them and not ride any other trucks. However, none of the tippy top riders in the world right now are riding Maguns, which should tell you that if you can win races on $300 Aeras, or $320 Munkaes, or even $400 JimZ why not save the extra $200, $280, or $300. I personally have progressed as a rider, and have been stopped a bunch of times at particular setups and not been able to change anything. I don't think I could get enough ride time on a set of Maguns to feel like I really needed them enough to shell out the $600. If I was sponsored by some huge company that would give me anything I want, hell yah I'd get some. Even if they got me a 50% discount.

I disagree. Size really has nothing to do with precision vs. cast trucks. Axles that actually fit the bearings and spacers, pivots that actually fit the cups, and the ability to have zero slop is the huge benefit of precision trucks. Deeper, and more snug bushing seats (generalization) make for a much stabler setup as well. There are tons of different precisions that have different characteristics, and they are definitely an important part of a good racers setup.

Granted, they aren't great for freeride, they were not intended for such.

thats what i mean, the ride/function of a truck outweighs the price...for some
