I'll be at Canyons 3/27, 3/28, 4/1, 4/2. On softies, but the plates are always in the car if I'm not working...

I'm going to try to skate Saturday. (Weather permitting.) Any UT folks know any good new spots to dodge cones?

Hey I remember (parts of) that! We should get together a little more often this summer...

I've got one. It's a fun gimick, and there isn't another board out there that emulates high edge-angle carving better.... (IMHO) That being said, I ride my other longboards / skateboards a lot more, 'cause like you said, the Carveboard is a tank (sucks lugging it up the hill,) plus it doesnt like speed very much either....

I have access to some 180g bulk bricks of Swix BP77 Base Prep wax. Labeled as "cold". Swix's description is: This is a blend requested by World Cup Technicians for use on “cold” snow skis. Used on new skis and as travel wax. I use it as a storage wax, or prep wax. Scrape it and put a layer of your favorite on top and it works great. $15 per 180g brick, shipped to the USA. Discount for purchasing multiple blocks. Contact me via my profile if interested. Paypal Payment preffered. It will look sumthin like this, without the fancey top / label:

85a is the duro I've heard most when folks talk aboot the RaceTrack hourglass bushings....

When I ride Randals on the rear on slalom decks, they're usually flipped, or with the "CA" roadside. They feel more stable to me flipped also. The Split's are suppoded to be more stable than even a flipped randal because of the offset / inline axles. I have an "unflipped" Randal on the back of my LDP setup right now, and I don't think I've even tried that flipped. I guess I'll have to put that on my list of things to try...

I'm not an expert, but here's how mine is setup: Aboot -9* on a 28* baseplate. Essentially the same as your -16*. I don't think Splits were designed to do this. You might end up with the hanger crashing into the baseplate. I'd check for hanger/baseplate clearance if you try it.. Mine is set up with a homeade Retro 89a Jimz shape boardside, homemade Retro 89a Stim shape roadside. Dunno, I havent' ridden a Gen1. I have ridden Airflows, which are quite similar to Gen1 splits, and they feel a lot alike the Randal based split.

October is one of the best times of the year to visit Moab (temperature wise.) Rent a Jeep, strap the fam in, drive it like rental, get caked in red sand / dust. (Shower water will still turn red a week after the rental drive, if you do it right...)

I guess I was just having too much fun (losing)... I didn't even notice the heat on Saturday, until Sunday, when it was 10 degrees cooler... Note to self: make sure future full-face helmet purchase color is NOT black...

It was ONLY 102F on Saturday...

Basically new, they've got a couple of miles on them, enough to get rid of the mold release and that's aboot it. Never slid. The graphics are just beginning to crack, as the always do on Gummies.

What day are you hoping to attend Ink? (So I can watch for you...)

Anyone near Boulder interested in Slalom Skateboarding should check out the competition this weekend: http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=7346

Just watch out for speed wobbles ;) That DOES sound like something I might try, though after the 8-wheeler experience I'm not so sure....

It was just something I wanted to try when I realized that I had enough mounting holes in the board to do it. I wouldn't use that setup for anyting related to slalom, and doubt I would use it for anything else. It might work well for DH type stuff, but I don't really do that. Didn't see any benefit at all for slalom with 8 wheels, pretty much hated that setup from the get-go... I'd try 7 - 15 degrees of wedging for HS with a Randal. (Personal preference)

Now that's a LONGboard! I think I've watched that aboot 20 times now, and I still LOL every time...:lol:

Yes, 50* plates. The front-most Randal had one Khiro soft riser + 3* Khiro rails. The second Randal had one Khiro soft riser. They didn't stay that way for long, but that was the setup... In the normal configgeration running a single Randal or Paris on the front, I use one Khiro soft riser.

I have some cheap ceramics in one of my boards. They make such a HUGE difference, that I don't remember which one they're in... :rolleyes:

If ya think a six-wheeler looks stupid, you should try this:

Yes, kinda like using a spherical bearing. If the pivot cup deforms less, turning will be more precise. On reverse kingpin trucks, the pivot does not bind when turning, so delrin pivot cups work fine. Indy-style trucks, I don't know.... A lot of the time, when someone uses a delrin pivot cup on Indy-style trucks, they also replace the pivot with a spherical pivot / some kind of rod end, which eliminates the binding....
