your dh setup

[R]

It's funny how people say you need to race all the time to have nice gear. For me, the only requisite was disposable income. And dispose of it I did.

Indeed. Trucks cost you around $250+?

[Michael Billings]

Uhhh, not even close.

Got them used for $190. For some odd reason, that was reasonable. Either way, I will never turn down a nice thing because I don't feel I could use it to its full potential. Just use the damn thing!

Of course, I can sy that because I don't pay bills, etc...

Yep, same with my setup. I was going to buy a new car, but my parents are making me wait until I'm 18, so I really splurged on a sick new board. I'm gonna take pictures of it as soon as I get it set up, which might be a week or two, because the trucks haven't come yet.

Anyone know how to get in touch with Radikal?

PM or e mail Jack Smith.

Right now,

BRX
90mm Flys with Biltens
Randal DH with blue stims on bottom and Kiro red inserts on top.
the Dh hangers seem a little narrow so when I get the money I will upgrade to Luge hangers. I like wider trucks ( The DH's are stable as hell though)

dregs race
no pads
rII baseplate - luge hanger with biltins - Black randall bushings-
kryptos 85 with swiss bones

its fast, stable and still turny! i recently changed my flipped 180's for the luge hanger... i do not regret it!!! It does not make a huge difference in speed or acceleration, a nice speed position is the determinig factor, but its more stable, like a kart, and more precise in the curves.

A winning set-up on all roads!

Well, I got in touch with Laurent Golay, the shaper. His email is laurent@lgs-sk8.ch . I also think *SWEET* is friends with him, iirc, so he could probably help you get one as well!
