[speshlspeclsteak]

why do you like em so small?

bigger ones get stuck?

[green]

Just able to turn in ways that bigger boards jsut cant do. I can change the line i am taking at any time i want and still be able to stick it.

hey, kinda off topic a bit but i got a ?

what wheel durometer is best for downhill? i been doing downhill for the last couple of weeks and own a set of gumballs 78a. i want something that still grips but can be used for slides on sharp turns and for stopping.

75-83a are the most common durometers, what the best duro is is just personal preference.

gumballs are fine, they drift, they stop, they grip. what more do you want?

Thanks, Stringy.
I wish the guys I rode with would realize I'm supposed to be teh fastest every time. Evidently I need to win (or lose as it were) on my own merits?
The hangers were given to me in a trade with Slalomkid.
The Evo..... Oh yeah the Evo I got from Metalshark a while back and just started riding it a month or so ago. I have 2 Evos (the other one my kid rides a lot), and the other one has a different graphic as well. Wasn't planned, just the way it turned out.

[wardlarson]

[Leviathan]

anyone ever raced there board for pink slips? lol. that would be hilarious. win a race and take your friends board home to sell on ebay or somethin

Been lovin this dirty bitch lately. Big fat thanks to Spence for the hangers and a nice sticker.
Evo (Hi, Jimmy!)
Homemade 200mm x 10mm hangers on 28/50 luge plates
1 Stim, 2 Elims, and 1 Jimz bottom somewhere
RFs 74mm and I believe they are 77 or 78a (they are soft, anyway)
LY 10mm bearings which I've always loved
pretty solid





edit: oops: My bad. I forgot to do a tar-gnar-tar-gnar-tar slide on this thing and then preserve the moment of my skating prowess with picture before I posted. :P

Nice setup, bro!

One of my recent:

The "Ghostrider"
(custom carbon Subsonic Reflex 46, Talon plates / 10mm Randal Comp 11 hangers, Landy steel / SiN ceramic bearings, 81mm "ghost" Bomb Hills wheels).

Nice one greg! I rode spencer's hangers not too long ago, and I think they are incredibly rad! they lean so nicely and are really cleanly made.

Racking up those custom graphic evos are you? let's see a picture of that one side by side with the one I traded to you.

edit:

and the Motion Boardshop sticker?? even more props!!

Yeah T-rev! I love those hangers. Remind me a lot of Kookys in their lean behavior. They are perfect on a dropped deck, though I feel they could work well with anything.
Those Motion stickers are insanely cool, BTW. I'm gonna be in Seattle on either the 5th or 6th of May, and I'm gonna stop in and grab some goods. May even have time for a sesh..........? Depends on a few things.
Thanks for the props. You guys got a good thing going over there.

suh-weet! Yeah, let me know when you are in town. I'll hook you up with what you need and a couple dozen stickers for yourself and anyone else who you know who'd like some love. Hit me up with a PM or e-mail when you confirm the details.
