How do they work for slalom?

**Crappysurfer** · 01-01-2007 12:53 AM

well they are like 2 offsets but carve really good so i had them on my slalom board and i could ride it backawrds and it was still rewally good cause they grip a lot

Is it the same drill pattern or would I need to redrill my board like Mike's Maguns?

**Crappysurfer** · 01-01-2007 12:55 AM

my board already had holes but i put more in it, i also fut more in for the mahuns incase i get themm

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

**Crappysurfer** · 01-01-2007 12:58 AM

they are reeal good with flipped hangers...right now one is fglippd, i mountd one backswards for a little cause it made me more stable but when i carve i like sthem normal

**Rabid Skunk** · 01-01-2007 01:01 AM

What about mounting them to the top of your board and riding it upsidown?

**Crappysurfer** · 01-01-2007 01:02 AM

i dont like to do that cause i like my grapshics and thats gets them dirty

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.

Wutchufink?

**Rabid Skunk** · 01-01-2007 01:05 AM

Maybe get a Wefunk with a 31.75 wb, could they do that?

**Dubester** · 01-01-2007 01:06 AM

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?

**Crappysurfer** · 01-01-2007 01:07 AM

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

**Crappysurfer** · 01-01-2007 01:08 AM

oh i forgot about wfunks, ill order one tomorrow
dubstrer i dont understand what you mean, can youu explain?

**~Nick~** · 01-01-2007 01:09 AM

sofa
definanlty look into a composite topmount fromt julian, its wheel base is almost exactly 31.75.

**Dubester** · 01-01-2007 01:09 AM

gimme a few minutes im bad with words but pics can explain

**Rabid Skunk** · 01-01-2007 01:10 AM

dood, thats would be darn wickid if you got a wfunk, lbl and chicago!! omgz.

**Rabid Skunk** · 01-01-2007 01:12 AM

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

**Crappysurfer** · 01-01-2007 01:13 AM

yeah but i wouldnt ride them all cause i can only like one, i would get smkys for them all so i could try without having to change

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