Lordy, Lordy if you're 40+ Come on in!

Thanks buddy. Essentially I'd already greased everything well, except the threads, nut & spring & removed the extra washer, plus replaced one with a slightly thinner washer.

I just went out and took one turn off the bolts, and rode it, and there was a world of difference. All of a sudden it didn't "stick" at the center and I could carve around and pump the board like never before.

I did figure out there was about 0.10" difference between the spring lengths when I originally swapped them out.

You're welcome, Im glad that worked for you, i was having similar problems in the past, and after messing around a lot, and after some advices from other users here in the forum, i figured that was the best method.

I was having some problem adjusting my Indy trucks (bushing trucks are something new to me) at first i thought they sucked, someone suggested me giving them another chance by messing around with the setup and now i like them very much, not as much as my Originals i must say, but i liked them, same thing happens with Originals, one must give them a chance and mess around different setups before you decide you hate them lol

Let me know how thats working out for you, ohhh and keep posting the videos man!!!!

RockRover-

I hated the hybrids at first. Felt dead, no pop, definitely not quick turning.

Then my bushings broke in.

Now I dig them the most, baby.

Great trucks for the finicky 9two5.

I mainly use my Originals for carving. Hard carving. I would not bomb a steep hill with them. I believe I first noticed them on the SurfRodz longboards. As far as finding a pig board.

Very nice site there Eddie, but I suppose I'd be forced to buy a used one because every single model on their site is listed as "sold out"!

Check on the Sell or Trade section on the message board bro. Plenty of good deals there. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.

Yes, thanks. I saw a lot or real collector's items for sale there. Nice boards for $100 and real rare ones for perhaps $800.

(I just noticed you spell your name with a "Y". Sorry bro.... )

This could be bad. If I like it as much as I think I will, I'll be looking at EC's models and what else is out there.

All kine if you keep your eyes peeled.

Here is a couple I picked up.
10.5x32 SMA Old School:



I just bought this 10.5x38 G&S big mellow spoon nose on sale and which is still in its Watson wrapper:



It looks like it is only a 7-ply so I am going to reinforce it with carbon and/or glass like I did my black Bulldog:



PS - the nice mellow but wide concave really adds up when you get to the edge of the deck. With wheels wells it ends up making for decent clearance when using wide trucks.

I forgot I'd chased after your pigs before, Visiting BDS reminded me. It's been "SOLD OUT" everytime I've been there too.

I'd have assumed these are all stiff, especially being short. Is applying glass/carbon too noxious for a winter basement sport?

This frakkin' tendonitis is kicking my butt. I didn't go out to skate at all today. all I did was lay around the house, do my exercises, and try and stay off my feet. It's getting better, but it's not getting better fast enough for me.

Basement is about 68 year around.

Google-fu on G&S got me to the site and I finally found it.

Had the same problem some years ago, it was caused by playing my piano too much hehehehe, how did you get yours?

I don't have a clue. It's in my Achilles tendon.

The podiatrist says it's from old age.

Teehee. And now that the 'official' doctors diagnosis has been had, you can tell all your friends w/o spilling the beans that you're a <gulp> longboarder!

Every time I come to work with a bump/scab/bruise etc., I get the "I told you so" crap (actually they are concerned). But NEVER will my more 'mature' friends understand what it is that keeps me breathin...

I wear all the necessary protection and still have been injured. Skate hard skate fast, no thrill without adrenalin.
