well 2 of the aeras have yellow venom elims. i cant tell what the bottom busings are, but i tried a yellow venom elim on top and it felt squirly to me at speed when i moved my foot around, and i'm 115lbs. you're probably in the 160-180 range, so that looks more like a freeriding/cruising setup. plus the other set has green elims on top. just sayin.

Bushings are preference.

**mark33** · 11-01-2009 03:50 PM

well the 2 yellow sets have bottoms of green elims ..............and the green tops have red elim bottoms( these are for my freeriding)

**chandler95** · 11-01-2009 03:56 PM

That mahogany nutz look so nice...

that's your problem not the elims
I'm 130 and am confident running yellow elims all around with loose trucks up to 50mph

with me i was just going down a garage, there was no impact or anything of the sort.

maybe the wedging from the evo added something to it...

Dave Cindrich (Sandwich) still makes the old ones and you can order them whenever you want from him.

I think it's just the fact that the way we both had our trucks mounted makes the pivot cup an incredibly weak point in the Randal baseplate design. There's no board out in front of the baseplate to take the hit and unlike Paris plates there's no extra aluminum supporting it either. All in all, as long as it doesn't break while I'm riding it I'd rather replace the $12 baseplate than the $160 deck.

just picked up a set of purple orangatang durians from the local shop..big difference from my old 65mm 78a wheels...

**mehbear!** · 11-01-2009 04:57 PM

mark33, so you're the dreaded mystery buyer??

enjoy those. hopefully a nutz like that will come around when it's my time this holiday season.

**EmptiMind** · 11-01-2009 05:01 PM

So you're the one snatching up all those boards eh Mark? Sheesh.

How many different sets of precisions you have?

**mark33** · 11-01-2009 05:06 PM

"all i want to know is.. how, and why?",,,,i take it from your tone that you may not approve of the way i spend my money....the how is because i can and the why is because i want to..

Who f*&%king cares. It's his money, he can spend it how he wants. Not only that, but he's supporting awesome smaller builders like Rus. Without people like Mark or Dozer or any number of other guys here who put some real money into supporting this small niche of skateboarding, there just may not be as many cool things out there for us to drool over.

i have no problem with you or what you do with your money..
