your dh setup

[pirateswin]

my setup: CLB carbon drop deck(got a few weeks ago) with (coming soon) black crail DHs rocknrons bearings and probabally black hawgs or grippins

horray for CLB! amazing custom dh boards... i love my composite drop through.

what's the max flex you guys experience on most of your dh boards?

[seb]

No I said FlushCaften!!! Seb's special deck.... I know the fluscut isnt the same as the comishin!!

2 different boards

The FlushCaften is a boards made before the IAN C board, it was a prototype, it's alomost the same as the IAN board, wider at the nose. It's a caften drop-through.

The Flushcut is JimZ pro model board.

That's it.

[spikedfro10]

my new flushcut! thanks agentwd40

currently set up w/
randal dh moog/rad/randal bushings(top mount)
81a grippins
grease balls

i want a white demonseed....

jw, whats the point of having a demonseed AND a flushcut?

[Basch]

Flushcut is shorter and more flexy

[XPLOAD]

really?? i have a flushcut and it has no flex in it at all. but it is a noticeably shorter board

idk... they feel really differnt. i would say the flex is about the same, maybe 1/4-1/2 inch if im standing in the middle. the way i have them set up right now makes a pretty versitle set of boards. the demonseed is better for longer straight things and the flushcut corners nicely. the flushcut also accelerates faster. the concave is also differnt. the concave on the flushcut is flat on the middle and lips up real hard onthe edges. they are both kickass boards, so why not own both?

slightly different, yeah

but id rather get another deck that is noticeably different

but hey. if i had the cash, id have both decks too!

The Flushcut is JimZ pro model board.

That's it.

Basically the flushcaften is the first run of the Comishin Pro Model, built just how Ian wanted it to be: stiff and no flex with a wider neck leading to the nose, the problem was that you couldnt ride bigger wheels than 83mm without getting wheelbite. The pro model is just a compromise to make the consumer be able to ride the biggest wheels with the thinnest trucks (ie R-I's at 160mm with 97mm Flywheels). Simply standing on a flushcaften and a Comishin, you will see the difference.

In 2005, there was a run of Flushcaften under the Ian Comishin Pro Model name, maybe 8-10 boards were made, they were yellow to orange in color with a graph of scientist pouring something from a test tube to another...

These are very rare and well made boards

Hmm, I've stood on a deamonseed and ridden a flushcut but For me the flushcut al least feels much flexyer

how much do you weigh?
at 200lbs or 90 kilos, I find the demonseed flexier the flushcut, the very fact that the wheelbase is longer on the rayne, only makes it logical for it to have more flex...

[~Stuart~]

. the flushcut also accelerates faster.

would that not be your wheel/truck setup? like the deck changes the acceleration soo minorly (the extra mm surface area causing wind resistance...)

yeah, its the way its set up

[ska1234]

anyways my downhill board......original torpedo 40" with kick....original s6's, 65mm 78a original wheels!!.....id say ive gotten it to 30...maybe give or take some

[djona]

demonseed
crails w/JimZ
temporary: hawgs w/reds
eventually: lemon bigzigs w/swiss
maybe: 76 flys w/swiss

what do you guys think? bigzigs or flys?

You could ride any wheels but it had to be on 200mm, thats what Ian told us. My self and the rest of the squam bombers did a stint on KebbeKs before we got signed on LY. Emmet Falconer rode a flushcaften with 200s and 90mm flys (me on a flushcut and shnate on a hairpins). It was a BEEFY board with all that foot pan. It met its demise one day while we were practice racing, I took emmet out and the board got run over and blew up. There were less than 10 made. Scratch one. Its yellow-orange fade glory hangs in bits in Emmet's house.

use flys. super bueno

i generally hear negative opinions about 76 flys
but cool


cant wait to stick them on!
