Aint it purty? (Hustler pr0n)

Redline · 08-17-2008, 09:44 PM

I'm even starting to like the bottom graphic.

Those are before pics. A few days later I widend the front cutouts to eliminate any chance of wheelbite(it's a Gen. 1)
A couple passes w/a router, orbital sander then some wood sealer and it looks like nothing was touched(phew, it made me a bit nervous to use the router on it

)
1/4 inch removed on each side.

Still messing with bushing combinations but this thing rides great.

Glad you like your new board.

What do you think of the new bear bushings? I have the same trucks as you, and the bushings in my opinion are not bad..not as much rebound as I would like but theyre not bad.

that is a SICK board! i was thinking about getting one for a cruiser.... i think im now convinced...

Does it have any flex? How would it be as a dh board?

Yeah, I agree. I'm experimenting w/a combo of the new Pumpkin bushings and some Orange Khiros I had left over from when I sold my Randals.
With just the Khiros it gets pretty squirrely unless it's cranked down tight. I like my trucks kinda loose.

It has a fair amount of flex depending on how much you weigh. I've heard it does ok as a dh board but IMO I'd want something a bit more stiff.

It actually pumps pretty easily as well as carves quick & deep. The concave really locks in your feet.
The Bears feel more responsive than my old Randal 180's.

I fixed the graphics and the flex on mine at the same time. Two weeks after I got it I sanded off the baby and added a layer of greenlight's bamboo fabric and a layer of 6oz. S-glass with West Systems 107 special coatings hardener. Its much stiffer now and nobody has to look at that tatooed baby anymore.
