Default bushings

My friend is getting a legendary smooth drop. He wants it to be a good DH board but also be a little carvy. He weights 145 I said he should get a mix of red and blue khiro barrels. What do you guys think of this combo?

how big of hills are you looking at hitting? I'd recommend the Orange Khiro's paired with the blue or red based off what speeds and or how much maneuverability he wants.

hes not looking for a DH only bushing so I think jimz are out. I thought blue and red would be good but i dont know. Also a bushing kit is out of the question because he wants to keep it cheap. He want it to be more DH then carvy but not like rock hard. ( paris bushings for instance)

If he doesnt want jimZ's, then maybe venom downhill package? They are double barrels in 85a, so basically khiro blue but with more rebound.

I do DH with randal yellow bushings. They're perfect. No need to get anything different if you're riding with a low enough kingpin angle. I have 45 front and 35 back (I know those aren't standard baseplates I dewedged them myself). Anyways they're exactly what your friend wants, they do DH no problem (I do only up to 60kmph) but they the #### up when you're going pushing speeds. I don't even know how it's so good. This is my only board so it was really important for me that it was still a good DH board but not completely dead when I use it for commuting and carving. By the way Randals have much better reflex than khiro's.

Angry Five Hundred Times

In the traffic court of a large mid-western city, a young lady was brought before the judge to answer a ticket given her for driving through a red light. She explained to his honor that she was a school teacher and requested an immediate disposal of her case in order that she might hasten on to her classes. A wild gleam came into the judge's eye. "You are a school teacher, eh?" said he. "Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. Sit down at that table and write 'I went through a red light' five hundred times."------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The wow power leveling site offer buy wow powerleveling,cheap world of warcraft power leveling and world of warcraft powerleveling news. ____________________Buy wow gold,LWB
