**Txbordr** · 12-09-2008 08:03 AM

Well what other types of decks are you interested in getting? I have decided to sell my dervish, im gonna get some precision trucks and a flat drop through deck to go with them. The moose completes are packaged with really uhh, low quality hardware/accessories, the wheels dont even have a name heh. The evo look alike is wierd, I dont know why they would have it positive wedges at both ends, that would definitly result in some squirrely motion, none of those boards would be really safe to be taken DH I would say, but its up to you. I would keep saving my money though.

Yes, all good points taken.
I guess I put my "Skate Goggles" on when I saw those boards.

Now that youve got your deck, think about saving up for some better trucks. That deck should do you good with some grizzlies or randalls setup on it, and that would help you in your progression and get you used to some of them bigger hills. I was looking at san antonio ranch (Mike, where we went that once) on the maps and found a huge hill we didnt see, with a nice left turn and no intersections, and a run off.

**Txbordr** · 12-09-2008 04:50 PM

Yeah, I went up to San Marcos today and picked up Abigail's pink Randals, we both were kinda skeptical of the difference $5 and two companies could make, but it's just amazing the difference in the ride! So much more maneuverability and stability than the ol' Gullwing M1s.
I'm kinda jealous...and I'm deffinaatly won over on Randal DHs instead of Gullwing Bombers.

Anyway Kelly, I thought I would, and do in fact, have your pads.
Lemme know the easiest time and place to get them from you.

Randolph Blvd? Do you have a google maps link?

Mike and I checked out that hill I posted, and it sure is a monster. Definitly going to need to drift that turn, or footbrake to slow down. It would be fun to just drift it all day especially for us regular riders, and the hill it leads into aint that bad either. Does anyone have any plans for this weekend? I got a job today, and I have to work weekend mornings, so the next two weeks are my last weekends of sunday morning availability for 3 months
