**bean-a-reano** · 05-12-2007 08:48 AM

Indeed nice job. How much time did it take?

**Dash** · 05-12-2007 09:57 PM

A few days including dry time for glass, paint, and urethane.

im running a 2006 model KebbeK Jim Z Flushcut, with the flushmounts filled for use with pogo plates and the bottom stained black. Trucks are pogo baseplates, Force hangars and Jimz sitms. General wheels of choice are the trimmed split duro avilas in the picture, but i also switch them for flywheels or kryptos depending on the situation.

**Justin Metcalf** · 05-13-2007 02:48 PM

Haha alright I can't resist anymore....Within the next few days I will have the first parts of the following...

Custom CLB Composite Topmount (graphic and carbon are custom)
White Speedvents
Confederate v.3s
Rock n' Ron's ceramics
Bushings may be JimZs but most likely khiro combo

The trucks are going to be awhile but the board, wheels, and bearings will be here this week.
I can't wait...rest assured you will see pictures

**Mustakrakish** · 05-13-2007 03:55 PM

i posted up there already woops

how do you delete posts like this one?

**jshalvorsen** · 05-13-2007 04:05 PM

I think every new DH setup people posts need attached pictures, so don't be shy(even if your picture shows a butt-ugly carpet or something beneath the board)

**XPLOAD** · 05-13-2007 04:38 PM

Jimz's are supposed to be pretty good, khiro barrels also fit well and as you know are great bushings... Personally I am in love with my bones hardcores. I have 88a's in the front crail and 90a's in the back and the board turns very nicely but has great stability at speed.

The stock moog's are barrel shape so khiro, doh doh and similar bushings fit. The bones are more like a double conical shape, but have the same height so they are totally compatible. The bones recommend or suggest not using a bottom washer because the hardcore of the bushign acts as one, but you need to in order to maintain the truck height/angle.

Definetly swap out the stock kingpin with a flipped grade 8 and get 4 flat washers. I did that as well as putting the bones bushigns in and it is a nice relativly cheap ($15) upgrade for your truck.

haha when I'm not broke anymore. I've worked my ass off to afford to be able to race in Munnsville and Vermont this summer. The board is a graduation/18th birthday gift from my parents. My next major purchase will most likely be an Icaro Skyrunner or a new set of leathers. It depends on whether I trash my leathers to the point of needing to replace them. However, I won't be able to afford either for quite a few months seeing as how I start college in the fall.

We'll see though...hopefully by christmas I'll have enough for the aero helmet (and hopefully I won't have destroyed my AFX or leathers by that time...although I probably will have)

**confusious** · 05-13-2007 10:30 PM

ill post pics of my new setups when i return from my trip, not to mention my new aerohelmet, yay

fullbag skates speedcruzer
i plan on making some new prototype floating axle trucks for it
idk about wheels yet, but probably something along the lines of a speedvent or a fly

**Rustyfriend** · 05-14-2007 12:37 PM

speaking of aero....i have almost thought of selling mine. the more i think of it the more i realize i dont need it. but does anyone have the same size head as me?
