whaaa? My FSM is set up the same except with <70mm Flashbacks and it doesn't railbite even if I crank a turn out as hard as possible.
and yes, dropped indies practically are cheating for freeriding, slides makes every wheel slide like butter and you can hold them forever. Try it, you'll probably love it. I'm not a fan of how Indies turn at higher speeds, feels weird to me, but for freeriding I don't think I'll ever go back to reverse kingpin trucks.
