They are generally heavier because of the extra trucks and wheels, so agility is low, but you get alot of momentum and grip from the board when setup correctly.

IGSA allows them, people jsut dont use them because they dont knwo much about them, and people are picky.

And they are hard to slide, all that extra grip doesnt like to be thrown into a pendy, or a predrift. In a DH application, they are meant for a course with little drifting, where grip is key.

Thank you. Finally, someone that isn't hating on 6 wheelers. I love mine, but also love my regular Evo. The best part is switching between them.

Alright time for pix. Comet Voodoo, Independent 215's with Paris Kingpins, JimZ bottoms and Bones Hardcore Bottoms on top, Earthwing Road Rages, and the ol' reliable Biltins.

When I ran indy 215s on my voodoo with hotspots I got hardcore wheelbite. Even with risers.

flushmounted on the bottom, no drop up

**budds51** · 03-18-2009 04:44 PM

my friend gave me a bunch of old right hand gloves because he couldnt find the left handed ones....the pucks are cuttingboard from target that i got for about 3$

the glove second to the left is a paintball glove, which is amazing, and i cut the puck like that to test it out. probably going to start cutting my pucks in that shape

Nemesis reppin!

the baseplate angles are the same 42 degrees, even if it looks like one is alot different than the other

Well my setup is killer for me. I'm 160 pounds, running a shock pad in the front, dewedge in the back, and 66mm wheels. If I said I wasn't getting wheelbite I would be lying, but I never need to turn THAT hard. The only time I bit is attempting a standup which was 1) Sort of a joke and 2) Nothing I would do on this board. Were you biting while riding or while jumping on the rail?

Not sure, I got it from Colton without knowing what was on the bottom. It's really love/hate. One of my buddies hates it, a couple of them think it's awesome, I really don't care because I'm on top of it most of the time and it gives me more reason to put stickers on it.

sweet. I like the graphic because it isnt covering the composite goods. Hope you enjoy it!

**CarlTheSmokingCrab** · 03-18-2009 06:43 PM

Indies lean like beasts. I love them, and that is a sick setup on that voodoo!!

turn to lean ratio is a little worse though right?

It's plenty good. They do have some slop (unless you tweak them just so), comparitively speaking. They can also quit turning.

Ha!
It's not as bad as it sounds. You were correct when you talked about turn ratio, sort of.

Indys in stock form bind at a certain point, sooner than Trackers, and much (

) sooner than a truck with the KP set at 90* to it's hanger. But it doesn't really matter, because they are pretty spectacular at what they are designed for.

**Ferrarimk13** · 03-18-2009 08:23 PM

ahh, thats what i thought, thanks for that. I may need to try some if i ever get a wider board. (probably not, just saying that to keep the convo going)
