All that statement proves is that people on Silverfish trust other members' opinions way too much. How can you have an opinion on a product you've never ridden?

Re: your dh setup
I have a set of R2's. I've bombed on them before. I can't say I've taken them past 30, or for long distance downhill runs, but I can say that it wasn't as comfortable as my friend's Crails.
It's like throwing an old Honda engine into a Ferrari. Sure it works, but there are no doubt better choices.

Re: your dh setup
There are billions of cars that are technically 'better' than a jaguar e type, but that doesnt make a Jaguar e type a bad car does it?
Fast people aint fast because they have such and such trucks. they are fast because they are a little bit insane.

Re: your dh setup
Once again, I'm not saying you can't go fast or compete with 500 dollar precision trucks, I'm just saying 30 dollar trucks on a couple hundred dollar deck still doesn't make much sense to me. I don't want to repeat the whole "BUT U CAN DU ANYTHINS ON RNADLS IF UR CRZY ENUF", but why bother when you've already spent that kind of money?

Re: your dh setup
it's not that you can do "anything if you're crazy" it's that some people like the way that they ride, and for the price nothing beats them.

I agree. I've bent probably half a dozen pairs of randall hangers in the last couple years (rough roads, big wheels, drifts) and i've spent roughly what i would have on one pair of precision trucks. It's cost effective if nothing else,

Re: your dh setup
I understand what you're saying, but I was comparing them more to Crails than Maguns or Kahalani's.

You guys, stop quoting the whole pictures in your replies! It just sucks up bandwidth and slows page loading and makes us scrolldown more.
