I have a set of Tracker Racetrack slalom trucks and they are front / rear specific. The X model goes in front & the S model goes in the rear. The X model has a steeper, smaller pivot design which allows for quick turns while the rear truck has a more stable geometry. I hope this helps, let me know. Shaun P.S. I've got mine on a Skaterbuilt hybrid slalom deck with 70mm Retro Zigzags, lemons in front & limes in the rear.

Yo Doug,

For those original trucks just mimmick the other one that is set up. The hex key is in the shed where the bikes were, I think.

Hey x2x0, I haven't ridden them, but I've heard good things & a lot of guys are winning races on the Radikals. They're super expensive ($250 - 300 a set), so some racers are using a Radikal in front with a Tracker in back (that turny front truck being the most important).

We are gonna be in Lawless, oops, I mean Lawton for two weeks, from April 3 through 17. Taking rock climbing gear and skates. I haven't decided yet which boards to take. Hope someone wants to go teach us a thing or two about longboarding in the Wichitas.

Email me here if ya'll want to hook up to climb and ride.

Hey Jules, the last time I tried to skate at the Wichitas, I got stopped and told it would be a ticket next time. I also havn't been climbing, but if there is any way you can make it up to Norman we could definitely bomb some hills. Good to hear from you, Shaun.

**Churchill** · 03-26-2007 03:01 PM

Yo Shaun,
Have you bombed Mt. Scott or know the slope of it? It seems really steep.

**shaun o'brian** · 03-27-2007 04:22 AM

Steep, tight, and a bust.

**Churchill** · 03-27-2007 11:16 AM

So what you are saying is it's not on tomorrow's to-do list?

**Shorty McSmalls** · 03-27-2007 12:59 PM

He is saying there are cops and a ticket is eminent if you try it.

**shaun o'brian** · 03-28-2007 11:02 AM
