Is that grip tape reflective? Boards look good. I love how most people's boards posted here prob are trashed by now or atleast mines getting trashed pretty nicely

Nothing wrong with that but I look at my pic posted before which was posted after one day and it looks so immaculate.

I like it. So what'd you think about the KS ride?

...and nope, mine's not trashed.

**s1mplifly** · 11-12-2009 06:39 PM

its pretty different since i got use to riding a s9 trylam with revenges on. this is my first time on a drop through and its really low, im more comfortable riding it and its really how should i say, beastly? lol

Got my Scim TODAY!!
YUH!!!
Painting starts sunday, cause thats my only free time.

I trashed my board pretty nice today in the "wet". I figured if I'm going to be riding well through November that I'm going to have to pick n choose "wet" conditions to ride in and since it stayed in the 40's today/tonight I had to go out there...

On the other hand does anyone have any tips on doing nose or tail mannys on the scim or m1 that's 42''+? Alot of dead weight when I lift... maybe I'm just weak?

If anybody's interested, I've got a gray size L Kracked Skulls shirt. It's yours if you can send $3.50 through Paypal to cover shipping.
PM me if you're interested.

MHS hybrids + KS? Those fit?!

My trackers don't fit my Scimitar, so i just assumed Indy's wouldn't either... looks like I need to look for a trade.

You need to have Indys with an oldschool hole pattern, and it will def fit on a Schimi. Just a note I did it with mine and it was stupid low, the rails were hitting the ground on deep turns, and I was running 76mm wheels.

**s1mplifly** · 11-13-2009 06:58 PM

yea they fit nice and low.

**TM_Cruzer** · 11-13-2009 08:10 PM

My Scimitar.

Top mount it! I did it on my 38" and it's the shiz. Still low but but slick as proverbial spit on the griddle.

Don't suppose you get any railbite like yooo braahh? Or hangerbite?

Do indy hybrids have any different geometry/ride height compared to normal indys?

**s1mplifly** · 11-13-2009 10:11 PM

i actually do get hangerbite but im not too sure if its a real big deal

, if anyone know why it would be bad and harmful can you tell me? please and thank you.

i was wondering if anyone has used their KS without the riser (or alternately as a top mount). any problems around the trucks? i'm looking to get more clearance on my m1, for wheelbite (stimulus and real soft bushings) and railbite (the deck has gotten a lot flexier over time and it scrapes when pumping).

**8ftbed** · 11-17-2009 03:32 AM

I topmounted one of my Scimitars (38") and dig the hell out of it. Scimmy/M1 are the same decks except you're limited in wheel size on the M1. Just go ahead and topmount it. You'll either like it or end up reverting to dropthough.

(get a scimmy next time so you never have to worry about wheel bite)

**ethanlicious** · 11-17-2009 03:23 PM

cool. follow-up question: the mounting screws are totally shot (like a screwdriver won't fit in the tops), how should i get these out? and after that, what length screws should i order to replace them (for top-mounting)?

yea i don't regret getting an m1, but i'm definitely getting a scimitar when it craps out on me...probably transfer the old trucks/wheels to save $$$

i had the same problem with mines and i used a plier to just grip the screw and unscrew it like that, and you should get same size screws it came with (not exact sure on the size) but yea because if you get shorter ones, might not be useful when u decide to drop again.
