Demonseed ground clearance question ?

**Dervish Nightrider** · 09-10-2009 08:46 PM

I'm on a Kebbek Comishin which I have Top Mounted. With 75mm wheels the ground clearance is 2.75 inches. If I would have Drop Thru mounted this bad boy it would have only had 2 inches of ground clearance (not enough as I live downtown Portland and sidewalk surf my speedboard)

I was thinking of purchasing a demonseed and Top Mount that. Does anyone know how many inches of ground clearance that set up will have? Using 75mm wheels, and a 1/8 soft shock pad riser.
thanks

instead of buying the demonseed and topmounting it. just get the landyachtz dually. its the same lenght and is a topmount dropdeck. check it out.

This Chinook looks like my set up, with the DeWedge angled riser on front. It has a 1.5 inch drop in front, only a 1 inch drop in back.

The Dually has a 1.75 inch drop both front and back. Maybe I'll have to push out to Daddies tomorrow and stand on each.

Just rock 1052's and big zigs... the killer set up for the seed

I rode a Demonseed on 75s and Smokies today, and although it was really low it was OK on the sidewalk. I don't do a lot of sidewalk riding but I am pretty confident that if you top mount it, the extra 3/8" or so of extra height you will get will be enough. On another note I too think you should look at the Dually. I have a Switch and it's really low and great for what you are looking for, plus it's a top mount so you have the extra strength on the nose and tail.

I would prefer a maple board like the dually or chinook so I can sand off the bottom and paint it light plum purple color. I already bought the paint at ace hardware last weekend. The color is "buckskin." Another reason I need my board UP off the ground, ruin the awesome stain job I'm gonna do...

I did my comishin in Mustard Yellow stain last month then sealed that up with 4 coats of spar vanish.

Because I'm an e-skater I care more about what my stuff looks like
