Re: G.O.G. Big Brother (Randal fit)
I had them on a voodoo xl but found it hard to get the set up right because i just couldn't get the leveridge, i weigh around 10 1/2 stone. Ive put them on a new earthwing mystery model. Its the same width more or less as the voodoo but the extra concave on the MM makes all the difference. I can get a lot more lean and just feels a hole load more controlable. I had a spell with elims but went back to barrels, found the elims restricted the turn, but maybe that will be different on the Earthwing MM

Yeah, type of deck makes a world of difference, I sold my 09 Avenger for the very same reasons.

Awesome, do you have a part name or spec I can look for in stores here?

Re: G.O.G. Big Brother (Randal fit)
Got to use them for a little session today, nothing really fast, but got a much better feel for them.
They are like insanely grippy, even on wet-ish pavement the gripped like a vice.
Also, they were surprisingly lively, 85a Venom barrels front and 90a rear.
Now I really can't wait for summer!

Re: G.O.G. Big Brother (Randal fit)
Sooo, while waiting for the Swedish foamcore the Gog's will live on, I tried them on my Hellcat, just for fun. Ride height with 70mm wheels are 3.7 inches, no hangerbite and I could probably run 97mm flywheels without bite!, so totally doable....

Re: G.O.G. Big Brother (Randal fit)
They've been developed further. They're actually coming out soon. Adjustable from 30-60 degrees.
Some other improvements regarding kingpins and axles have been made. I'll hopefully get some of the upgraded versions soon so I can feed you with pics and specs 
180mm are coming end March / beginning of April
