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.

i was looking at the Radikal's Dragon's Tail. what do you think

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
