There like 110 for a pair, but i think theyre for luges, im sure they could be used for our boards though. Man we just got back from some runs at SAC parking garage.

Was that fun or what??? Those were some good runs guys, glad we got in the runs that we did, i had a good time at the garage. Im looking forward to sunday!!!!

Who's going to ride tomorrow, Sundat, early a.m.?

**SlyTX** · 11-22-2008 10:36 AM

Im with you. Looking at the forecast theres a chance for rain, lets hope it doesnt come through. Lets give keith a call. I still wanna conquer the hill in the secret neighborhood, I dont think weve reached max on it.

Im gonna be riding in Olmos today, im putting the gumballs on the evo to see how they perform as some free riding wheels.

**Txbordr** · 11-23-2008 12:27 AM

Anyone remember me mention a bad bearing last time I was out?
I was just taking my board for a cruise around the neighborhood and whichever wheel is bad locked up (or maybe hit a little something, now thinking about it, cuz it was nightime.) and threw me, bangin up my right knee/ankle that I bummed the night before while leaving work.

Just thought I'd throw that one out there for a good laugh.
Cuz it had to have been funny to watch!

Ah man, are all the wheels still spinning? Might wanna disessemble and see if all the bearings are good. If the rain lets up tomorrow, would you wanna hit up the SAC parking garage with me? Anyone else interested?

I'm trying to take it easy today since I have an unusual AM shift Monday morning, we're open Monday to compensate for being closed Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
But if you were thinking about heading out later in the afternoon, I think I might go. I've been needing a cruise.

You still have my number?
If so txt me.

Nic, looks liek it could be promising. They have a few different versions, which are you going with and why?

**Txbordr** · 11-30-2008 03:11 PM

The Diablo...can you run a dropped deck with drop thru trucks?
Or is that just asking for railbite?

If its do-able I'd like to try that...

Why? Well I'm getting faster and I'm tired of my top mount, Gullwing M1, wobblin goblin.

yeah man of course, demonseeds are drop through as well as have the deck dropped, thus it is "double dropped", you will be low and can get railbite in a sharp turn, but that is normal really it will only aesthetically hurt your board. But also consider just the dropped board, top mounted. That might be low enough for you.

Tonight I think im skating with Rob and Arthur again, I dont where we might be heading out to if yall wanna come a long. Will probably get to there place at 9 or soemtihng.
