    Default Stims are HUGE

    I just got some blue stims from Mile High... They're HUUUUUGE!

    ...I guess a lot of you know this already, but I'm a bit in shock over the size of these things. Anyhow, I've got a strange bushing setup for my S9 Pivots that are holding me over until my R-II's get here Stim bottom, hardcore soft top; and hardcore soft bottom, doh doh soft top. Should be interesting. All hardcore soft was a bit wobbly, and the doh doh set in the rear was crap-tastic as well.

    Whoa! These bushings are rad! I was expecting them to be hard and they're not at all. So I changed up the bushings again and did blue stim bottoms on both trucks, with an orange indy rear and a blue hardcore front. These S9 Pivots are rockin' now.

    Yep, ran that for a couple months. Just switched over to Radikals top and bottom. Radikals freaking rock. I'll post a review soon.
    Loose trucks may save lives, but they won’t save you any money on your car insurance.
    Switch to Mile High Skates today to find out how you can save money on your next skate purchase.

    Man, if the blue stims are this sweet... what are green stims like? Orgasmic?

    I want to try green stims, I would gladly trade my yellow stims for them, just for the experience...

    I ordered a set of blue stims, just to try them out on my comet, as an upper, maybe a lower.

    I love these stims, they're awesome. Too bad I can't use 'em on the new Indy's I got, stupid short kingpin. I'll be pickin' up another set or two from Mile High next time around, sho' 'nuff.

    I'm running green stim bottoms on two of my boards with randall 180's and I freakin love them. I'm afraid I''ll never like any other setup again. I'm also afraid of them wearing down and cracking since nobody has em' any more. Then I'll be highly depressed.
