Kurdt, seeing as how you don't have a riser, do you get wheelbite at all? Even with my 1/2" risers and Powerballs, it gets fairly close - then again my trucks are pretty loose.

hmm, yeah, i was expecting wheelbite but so far so good, i dont think my trucks are super duper loose but i find my trucks very turny as it is, could it be the bushings in the MHS hybrid trucks?

This board has taken a huge beating and the only damage so far is a razor tail . For such a thin board, these things appear bulletproof

[RyanTheMann]

Other wheels used:Krypto CSI, EW Slide A

How well does this board slide with some slide a's? Does it work as a technical slider with the right setup?
I was originally thinking about getting this board as a cruiser AND getting a Corchia complete for sliding, but if I could just swap the wheels I may just get the glider for both.
Does anyone have experience on this board with slide wheels?
Thanks.

Slides about like you'd think.
I'm not really a tech slider. I got them mainly to ride at the park, so I could throw down a noisy-ass powerslide when I go all gangsta.

[bucksaw87]

anybody got tips on dialing up a superglider for drifting? i've tried dewedged indys as per the "official guide to setting up indys for DH", but that didn't drift too well...i've also got tracker rts/x 149's at my disposal...idk if that would help anything.

Reverse KP.
You can dewedge the shiite out of the rear all you want, but the added height is going to help grip (that's my experience). Unless you can ride the fine line between hard bushings in the back and lifting a rear wheel, which may help you to drift or may cause some gnarly highsiding.
When I had my superglider set up with stock, 50 deg randal 150s. I could slide it fairly easily (for a short amount of time, more like a hockey stop) with the right wheel. I'm thinking maybe with 150s and a 50/35 thing?????
Not at your disposal?
