your dh setup

[Shimotakimas]

are those reflex gumballs?
or is the angle of the pic decieving me

Those are first gen bigzigs which were essentially Reflex gumballs.

basically. Or you can also call them old bigzigs OR bigzigs in the gumball mold.

Sick board Noon. Like lemons much? What degree trucks are you running?

theyre reflex. if youre unsure just look at where it says "76" instead of "75"

thanks man. I love the lemon zigs, fun wheels for dh, especially if I want to slide!!! and they are BADASS slalom wheels, I used lemons at hood river and Us Nationals for GS, Hybrid, and Tight. Love any zig wheel, especially the limes.

they are 50 degree randal 180s

eeerrrmmm.......limes?

My first legit speedboard.. a topmount.
Best 70$ spent on a deck.. ever! (for me at least)

[gabriel[abc]]

Soo....you have the same deck and the same bushings.....

hahahahaha i was thinking the same exact thing

[gabriel[abc]]

i hear it has a little flex? i hope not.
and also i hear it is kinda tipsy with that crazy concave, dose this seem to be a problem?

double!

yes if you have the 8-ply that is. im not sure if all the hairpins were made 8-ply but mine is. depends how heavy you are. i weigh 210 and it flexes a little stationary but when i get riding it just dampens a little. im pretty gonna fiberglass it or im willing to make it look uber cool ill get somebody to carbon fiber that biiitch haha

[the joker]

well are 84a gumballs good for down hill? i ride them but some people say you need softer wheels for DH what do you guys think??

84a isnt to hard. I ride lemon zig zags and purple otangs and theyre 83a. But when gumballs are broken in they dont hold traction as well as other wheels. i love my zig zags! always hold well and have a predictable slide.

so i guess for you joker try the gumballs for a bit, if you like them and make them work whos to tell you theyre bad? but if they are too drifty check out something with a more squared lip like zig zags, big zigs, or otangs.

voodoo xl
front: randal 42 red elim bottom gullwingbarrel top
rear: dewedged indy using 5 10-32 spacers with medium superball bottom, yellow elim top and a cone moog on top of that (kingpin was way long)
66 lemon zigs
height: 3.5" at lowest
wb: 34"




this board is like a sidewalk at speeds. probably due to the wheelbase being stretched out by the indy. it doesnt have the sharpest radius, but it feels super responsive. the rear feels similar to a low angle rev kp truck, but different in a good way. i believe this has something to do with the pivot axis being so far away from the front. i will probably keep this setup to be my higher speed board 40+





oh yeah its also super low <4 inches high at the top of the concave in the middle so the lowest point of the board is probably <3.5" off the ground.





I encourage anyone with a topmount who wants a longer wb setup to try this. it feels raaad.

ps i started a new thread to not clutter this one with discussion

Sweet setup I think that comet came out of the closet in 2009 great company

so your saying my deck likes other decks? maybe i should paint it rainbow and let it march in a parade... does make sense since comet was originally from san fran...

My new fun #### around dh setup. It's ridiculously stable, i was surprised. Indy/core hybrids dewedged a bit front and back.

[QUOTE=Noon19;1297532583]rayne avenger, randals, lime zigs.


what randalls are those? 180's, DH?

[Xgecko]

yeah....its true...we live off other people...

kinda like the dole, but we actually produce something to earn it.

I don't disagree, but creative people only continue to be creative when people purchase their creations

I think that comet came out of the closet in 2009 great company

yeah they have brought a lot to the market place this year, here's to hoping they can sustain it

[streetheap]

idk, I just felt that randal bushings and jimz bushings had a way better rebound than the venom, but thats just me....

I think the Randal black bushings are pretty awesome as well. I weigh 220, and they work well for me cupped on higher angle plates and/or restrictive hangers as an excellent all-around bushing. Currently have a barrel/cone thing in a pool setup with Ace 66s, and 4 barrels on a set of Crails on a topmount speedboard.
