Nice, sounds like itll skate for many miles in the future. I wanna check it out and see how it feels under the feet our next sesh. What bushings are you gonna get next?

**SirKale** · 05-10-2009 09:36 PM

right now im running on double barrel 85/90 front and back of the new paris bushings, im not sure if im goign to have to switch to 90/90 yet. if you got 2 90's barrels laying around id gladly barrow them for a while to test. I'm REALLY wanting some of the new reflex bushings, the 89a and the 92a. HOWEVER, atm even getting a cheaper 4 pack will still result in them being over 4$ per bushing. that makes venoms look cheap. so ill be holding off on them until the price gets dropped a bit.

**SlyTX** · 05-10-2009 09:40 PM

Dude the venom elim's are 20 dollars for 4.

. I would say take out the trash and clean up the dog poop for your elderly neighbors for a couple extra bucks, and get them. Bushings make such a diff in your ride (in my opinion) its worth it to have a variety. Im pretty sure I chucked my paris' stock bushings so I dont have them around anymore

I do have the red venoms barrels and wouldnt mind letting you check it out, as long as you dont destroy them and I get them back lol

**SirKale** · 05-10-2009 09:43 PM

id gladly return them good as when i got them, WHY would u chuck NEW PARIS bushings? there the same as venoms only colored different and they have less duro choices and minus the stim shape. but man im telling you the retro stuff is just so hyped right now, im thinking just wait on reflex bushings.

**SlyTX** · 05-10-2009 09:46 PM

Ah they were the old red ones, I got my paris trucks like 6 months ago. I didnt even know retro had bushings out, so I dont know much about them. The austin guys have been cutting there own big zig bushings for a while, and have stim shapes and probably barrels too. They might not go down in price for a long time and then when you finally get them youll be thinking "damnit why didnt I get these sooner?!"

**SirKale** · 05-10-2009 09:54 PM

yea but im guna be getting some of karrots 88a barrels in about a week, so ill see how that goes before trying the reflex ones.

This hill is in (Deep Hollow rd.) Tapatio Srings, 8 miles from I-10 on Johns rd. (just on the other side of the country club) Google Maps It's where John's road turns into Deep Hollow witch both intersect with Eagle Dr.. I've climbed this hill at least a hundred times (I reconized the cut thru the limestone hill. The tarmac is really really rough, but that speed this hill will take you, it won't matter. There is one stop sign (4 way intersection) at the bottom and a left turn (uphill).
Another epic hill in that area is Deep Hollow at hwy 46 (very dangerous, major drop with a hard left on to hwy 46) I would never suggest to anybody that a they skate these hills (especially the deep hollow at 46) The street has some of the roughest asphalt out there. Tyler, have your buddy skate it first.

Lol Tom its awesome you know of all the hills I scout from your cycling experiences. The hill I posted is called Seven Eleven ranch road, and it is right near the hill you posted "deep Hollow". Its just north of it a few miles. Have you been to this one? Is the quality of the road really that shitty?

Where the Kaha's at?

**SirKale** · 05-11-2009 10:41 AM

told you it looked rough lol.

question, does anyone have a randall comp 2 170 or 186 hangar? I really want to check the clearance on them on my new board. They ride higher up, so i might just be able to fit the 74's non trimmed with them.

**RobotMatt** · 05-11-2009 11:12 AM

Herrrooooo, I was just checking to see if anyone knew what was going on this week? are we going to have a normal SLAB session? My Helmet should be arriving today or tomorrow so Im ready... head still fuzzy but nothing a little sammich doesnt cure

Luke, compared to new crownridge this one is probably about 30% longer, as well as steeper. Probably a lot steeper but im not sure. Did you decide on what your setup is gonna be on your crystal challice? Are you set on getting randalls? I might be looking to sell the blast waves Ive got if your interested.

Damn well I just remembered Weds I wont be available to skate, Im going to austin with my gf for the whole day to visit some friends and hopefully the Austin crew but will be coming back that night, so Ill be in for the SLAB session. Josh lets maybe plan on skating seacrest Tuesday?

actually i did get a new deck, its the latest one that i made. my old avitar was my s9 western, but i gave it to one of my friends. umm i heard tuseday sesh at seascape? that sounds good mabey? let me know

**SirKale** · 05-11-2009 10:38 PM

**Txbordr** · 05-11-2009 11:21 PM

**SirKale** · 05-11-2009 11:35 PM

**SlyTX** · 05-12-2009 09:44 AM

Alright well im here near bandera and 1604 since last night, but before coming over I wasnt able to go home, and dont have ANY of my skate stuff with me. No boards no wheels, not even my shoes

. I would have to drive back to my house, then drive back here to get my ####. Might not be to skate until tomorrow night.

Sweet Josh your deck looks good, got any other pics of it? what did you make it out of? Nic I cant beleive you put your helmet on at work, even with the JJ hat on! Mike please dont post pics of you wearing your helmet in the shower, or in bed with your wife.
