why do ppl put the elims on bottom and barrel on top?

the elim is the harder bushing cuz theres more thane
other then that its just preference i guess

I do it to keep the trucks stable as my grandmother, and agile like a contortionist.

[dozer jr]

so true.


also true, i am currently running my paris with elims until my bears get here, which i will likely run with jimz. i gotta say, my first "real" speedboard had bears and jimz on it, and i actually love that combo. paris are and venoms is still a favorite of mine too. randals, i learned on them and appreciate them as a great standard in longboarding (US made is a plus too, good company all around), but i just think that paris took the randal design and made it snappier, nicer looking, and more progressive. then it seems that landyachtz took the randal design and made the grizzlies which feel more substantial/heavy duty, very smooth, deeper carves, and the new generation ones have amazing looking casting. just my random thoughts on the three of the popular cast trucks out there.

what you say is true about paris trucks being more snappier then randals, but i really cant stand grizzlies. i put venom barrels on mine and i couldnt get them to turn. maybe it was just me, but i would take paris over them all any day

I tried some bears in california for the first time, one hill was a 60mph run, others were like 15-20mph, felt ok at speed but I couldnt get them to turn either in the slower stuff, even after getting rid of the yellow pumpkins, said **** it and just put on some randals. Was happy. I probably set them up with a bad bushing combo though...I dont see any reason for them not turning great

How tall are you, and what is your tuck like? I am considering getting the DH36 as my next deck. Have much clearance do you have behind you when in full tuck? Can you compare the concave to anything?

[SpeedFiend]

Just because you two are the same height, doesn't mean you have the same size tuck.

Being a shitty skater might be a great place to begin your quest, professor.
Mine turn when I hockeysnot a booger and it hits my cheek.
Even downlow.
My fatass would get a stuckup bitch to turn and look, though.

Edit:
Sorry Alpha. That makes no sense. Even to me.
