Post your Freeride/ Slopestyle setups

**Shavarsh** · 10-01-2009 08:40 PM

Is the Landy drop wedge a good beginner freeride/soft wheel slide board?

**AFTT** · 10-01-2009 08:47 PM

It would work, but a symmetrical board would be ideal for a freeride setup.

that was going to be my exact setup if i got a flush loki! but i just chopped my hellcat instead to save money. looks beautiful.

Thanks! I actually ordered a flush, but got shipped a drop through. I figured, bah what the hell. I didn't want to wait any longer! It's a really fun ride.

What if he only had to pay $30 plus shipping?

i used to ride indys drop through, but i felt like there was a big dead spot, topmounted they fell great!

wither way you will have a blast killing those wheels!

waiting for my hybrid 215's to slap onto my kebbek switchback with my coned fat frees

weeeeeeeeee

**Burnt Reynolds** · 10-02-2009 10:57 PM

I just swapped my indys back on to ma Hellcat (crails back to the Avenger). Threw some new vicious grip, 81mm 82a s9rfs and fresh bearings on there. Sits super low.. even with the big ole wheels.Can't wait to try this out tomorrow. Should drift a little bit...........

hm i have some 70mm (round lip) rfs and i'd say they are the slowest wheels i've evr ridden. are the slalom shape much quicker? i

the 78a is pretty slow on flats and in garages, but going downhill they hold speed well and drift beautifully.

niiiiice.
that's low too...no wheelbite?
Im thinking of the same setup, but with 42* prandals...

no way will that bite. indys set the wheels out further than reverse kingpin trucks increasing the actual wheelbase (wheel to wheel) by an inch or so. if you don't bite with randals/paris/etc you won't bite with indys, unless you really really try to.

Thanks! But yeah, the Indys change the wheelbase, adding about an inch to the front and rear, which in turn moves the wheels away from the shoulders of the board. So, yeah, no wheel bite at all.

However, I did originally set it up with 50* Randals, and got bite even with 70mm wheels (75mm were instant bite). I was able to tighten the trucks and run 70mm's, but it was too restrictive so I moved to hybrids. Now the 75mm clear with no problem in full lean.

Same deal with my v1 FSM, fits 76mm S9 RFs no problem with 215 Indy Hybrids.

**Terrorsathan** · 10-03-2009 02:37 PM

I converted my Madrid DH Drop 41 from Randal 180's 42's and big zigs to having indy 215's with reflex/venom and 83 flywheels... super drifty and snappy turny now. As low as you'll ever see a board w/ 83mm wheels.

then I put the RII's with 50 degree plates on my 'glider with powerballs... way more fun that I thought it would be... I don't know why everyone says Indys are the only way to go on this deck other than how low they are.

**stringtheory** · 10-03-2009 04:33 PM

I used Randals for over a year 1/2 on my Charger and loved it. I switched to Indys when it became more of my transportation set up. I just wanted it lower for pushing.

such a hot setup man

haha thanks for explaining, i feel stupid now, posted before i thought about it

damn, my 42* prandal and 70 or 75mm wheel setup doesn't look like such a good idea anymore.

Do you think 10mm surfrodz (making the axle 200mm) extentions could help prevent wheel bite with the 50* randals and 70mm wheels?...
