Here it is, crummy pics but ohwell...

Customized CLB topmount speedboard (graphic is my art)
confederate v.3 trucks
Jimz bushings black all around
biltins
76mm 78a GOS wheels

This board feels so good. Ask if you have questions of want more specific pics. I'll be riding this in Vermont this weekend

P.S. Ignore the crappy tuck...I swear its not actually that bad

cool, im the first to comment on the sexiness of that setup!

footspace looks eh
im guessing you compact your tuck and foot position a little

**Justin Metcalf** · 06-06-2007 01:17 PM

felt wierd at first...but I really like it now

**confusious** · 06-06-2007 01:18 PM

those trucks look dumb, you should get some randals....

**pirateswin** · 06-06-2007 01:28 PM

Nice!! How's the flex on that board? I get about 1/4 inch on mine when i stand straight in the middle, which is perfect.

**Zacho** · 06-06-2007 01:36 PM

That looks prettyyyy short
but still very sick!
LOVE the trucks

**EBasil** · 06-06-2007 01:51 PM

Is 78a really the best call for carpet?

Nice ride, dude! Looks great!

Yeah about that...1/4 - 1/2 inche. it feels great.

Yeah, it is shorter than anything i've ridden before, but it feels soooooo good. Very stable and agile.

Damn those v3's are SICK. So nice. Boards ok too :P

**Justin Metcalf** · 06-06-2007 02:29 PM

BTW Chris...thanks for the tip about the kingpin mounts. I took it down my local hill with a hard turn and it drifted beautifully with the front truck staying in complete control.

**[ben]** · 06-06-2007 02:34 PM

Ehh, from the looks of this picture it seems as though you have the front one on "stable" and the back one "turny." I'm probably wrong, but thats just the way it looks...

**Justin Metcalf** · 06-06-2007 02:41 PM

Nope, the front one is setup to grip hard through turns (kingpin further away from pivot point) and the back one is setup to drift (kingpin close to pivot point). The back one is tighter than the front truck...but only slightly

**cosmiccase** · 06-06-2007 02:46 PM

Length?

CHARAGE!

**nbhcdownhill** · 06-06-2007 02:47 PM

**Jam** · 06-06-2007 03:13 PM

**spikedfro10** · 06-06-2007 03:19 PM

Haha don't expect too much man...I'm going to have VERY little time to get used to it. It'll be awesome though

**chicagolongboards** · 06-06-2007 04:17 PM

So I got this up to about 50 today...wow...just wow. Absolutely amazing. Huge props to Julian and Chris on two awesome products. It is truly a joy to ride this board. The trucks track like a dream and the deck feels soooo good under foot...and it accelerates amazingly fast.
