    Did you try mounting them backwards? I heard you get good grip. And how are they with flipped hangars?

    When you say speedboard, what deck do you mean? I know you have both an Avenger and a Caften. I heard that the Smokeys feel really good on like a 31.75" wheelbase and not really any other wheelbases. I haven't found a commercially produced deck with that wheelbase so I might have LBL or Chicagolongboards build a super-ultra-mega-awesome custom with a 31.75" wheelbase.

    hangars are not intended to be flipped, the hangars are cnc' d differently on each side to fit the jimz s ...i suppose you could flip the bushings also if you were dead set , but even still with split axles the kingpin runs directly through where the axle would run in a one piece axle...a main reason for split axles , allowing a lower precision ride........ therefore the angle of the hangar would be the same either way.... Can you dig?

    wows i have those decks too, i drilled new holes in them but not 31.75, i hear thats not good, thats only good with crails cause like they have a different angle or something, and the smokeys are different
    right now lbl and chicagolongboards are both building special boards for my smokeys and im gonna pick which i like better

    I also heard that putting your wheels backwards helps on the smokeys? True or False?

    EDIT: all my wheels are centerset (ithink) so it doesnt matter, right?
