your dh setup

[SoldierOfSpeed]

no, when i was turning into the street from my driveway i got bite, and id rather not take chances.

theres no way you would even get close to wheelbite at speed on that thing. dont let wheelbite restrict your skating, because chances are that wheel wont come anywhere close to your board when actually DHing.

Thats my point, don't let wheel bite restrict your skating. I want to KNOW my board is never gonna bite. Even my speedboards, its not just a point down the hill thing. I like to be able to do 180s and carve and standup slide if I need.

I would much rather ride 70mm vs 75mm wheels than ride a board that you can't carve comfortably on. I dont see how being -5mm is gonna "restrict" his skating

[wardlarson]

if there's a chance of wheelbite i'll step down the wheelsize. no question. not worth the roadrash to find out if it matters or not.

he was forced away from his hawgs. in a way, that is restricting his choices maybe? idk.... think about it.

So true. Getting pitched on your ass in a crowd full of people SUCKS.

[wardlarson]

my fondest skating memories involve eating #### at about 15mph, getting up, riding 10 or so feet, wheelbite, eating ####. getting up... skating a few more feet, and eating ####.

called it a day after that. 3rd times a charm.

It's that whole "I'm steezy" abruptly transitioning into "I'm an ass" thing.

yeah well I'll admit it I was rolling to a buddy's car last weekend just messing around with deep carves on my topmount with at that time flipped fastracks...I fell flat on my face at not a joke 5mph (thankfully I was wearing gloves)....I flipped the hangers back before I put my feet back on the board...........


I was lucky there was only one witness and he didn't see me fall, just heard it and turned around to see me on the ground

[nikchaing]

I kind of wanted to flip my hangars but changed my mind now...

[wardlarson]

how wide are those trucks? Are they modded and if they are what did you do?

They are modded randals out to 200mm. I bought them from someone else, and he told me good ole Karrot modded them.
