Where can I get a good pedicure. Now those are size 12 feet. You would think I would have better balance. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws/Pavel Skates.

-rear - blue Stim bottom / blue Rad stim on top

Carves similar to my Vanguard, but with absolutely no flex.
Still super stable at speed in spite of how well it carves.
No wheel-bite even at low speeds with 85mm wheels.

NIce setp how does it ride. Im thnking of getting a hellcat and it wil have a similar setup with flipped grizzlies, 85 kryptos,and a hellcat.

It's awesome!!
Nice deep concave and very stiff. It carves so well I actually want some more traction, so I think I'm going to convert to Flys or Gumballs before too long...

[large goat]

I cant wait until they are available online from milehighi or antoerh site. Hoe stable does it seem for speedboarding though?

[[ben]]

It feels very secure, even with the bushing combo I have on it. Though I also like to bomb on my Vanguard that has a yellow Stim + clear Rad in the front.

The thing is secks on wheels!!

ben did you preorder your deck from rayne? Also could you measure how high it rides for me? Thanks

[[ben]]

I ordered mine at least a month ago.

The ride is really all in the bushing setup (in my opinion), but I will post a little review anyway.

This board can really do it all; I can even pump it. I don't think of myself to be a great downhiller with amazing ankles, but it feels very solid at speed (~40mph tops so far) even with a soft bushing combo and loose Randals on 50 degree plates. It can carve similar to my Vanguard, though it is extremely stiff and has no flex at all under my 155 pounds.
The concave is flat in the middle with edges that rise up on either side to lock my feet down, the edges are also quite sharp and rather grip inducing. I'd have to say I'd like the concave to be a bit more mellow (size 10US shoes), but I just got the deck Thursday and I'm still adjusting to it.
Absolutely NO wheelbite with 85mm Kryptos, even in hard low-speed turns or standing still leaning as hard as possible. I don't think I would put 83mm Flys on this, though.



Hey Sofa, I'm kinda obsessive compulsive and that crooked EW sticker is kinda bothering me.. think you could correct it?

[bpz]

Nope, it looks good crooked (:

[Rustyfriend]

i'm jealous man. very nice ride indeed

[Metalhead8290]

hey sofa, whats the makeup of that board? Wood and CF?

[bpz]

Yes, lots of wood and that's a sheet of basalt fabric, I believe, on the bottom. Really nice stealthy look that dampens + stiffens the ride. I think Julian may have thrown some fiberglass into the mix somewhere, but I'm not sure.

[[ben]]

Oh yeah, mine is also fully gripped with Edger.
Best griptape ever!

[Edison]

Sweet looking Chicago Brian... so custom. And Ben.... Edger is the bomb.

I just finished putting together my new Madrid Team DH Deck. It's the first of its' kind and is a stretched out version of Roger Hickey's 1980's shape. The deck measures 40"x10". Wheelbase is 29 1/2". I'm told this is likely to become a production model since Madrid is getting seriously back into downhill. Mine is set up with Randal DH's w/ a 50 degree base plate in front and 35 degree in the rear, 77mm Seismic Speed Vents and Madrid Flypaper.
