I've seen a lot of shots of dudes bombing on slalom boards at Maryhill especially. I think I saw Zak do it back at WWII and I've heard of P-Swiss bombing Munnsville on his TS board. What's the deal? Are these guys just running GS boards with 125mm trucks and their standard slalom bushings or are they beefing it up for DH? I had fun with my HS board on a 30 mph hill, but I'm interested to see what the other guys are doing.

I was actually running my hybrid board. 107mm trucks. one bushing changed on the front truck, then its good to go!
