pics of my ride -- Dregs 44 Classic Concave

[crisco]

Here's my board after getting a few new things installed. The board came with dregs wheels and charger trucks. I rode it a bit but it didn't turn quite enough for me, and i wanted to try some different wheels, so i picked up the following in Vancouver last week:

-PurpleTangs
-Khiro angled risers
-Venom orange/yellow bushings

Installed them last night and I also removed the cup washer, it was limiting the amount the trucks can turn. I threw on the flat washers and the new bushings and it turns nice!

the purple-tangs can slide a bit easier then the dregs wheels it came with so it's lots of fun!

i carved down some hills and bombed one that i had not done completely before. its amazing how better bushings can improve the turns AND the straight line stability.

now i just need more time to ride! definitely going out tomorrow.

peace,
crisco

Those dregs wheels look a lot like the old 70mm earthwings.

looks awesome dude.

thanks man.

it turns so nice now! i know i already said that. but it does get a teeny bit of wheelbite so i'm thinking of sanding a little in the corner of the wheel wells.

Gotta like this board for amazing carving. I was getting wheelbite as well, especially after I switched to larger wheels, easy fix...custom wheel cutouts

here's a few pics...
