paragonUE Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Very nice :)But my lord, what is the angle of that front binding on your FP!??! yeah..... about that. I dont have degree markers on my rattraps, so its more of an eyeballing thing, but i realized that the lower angles were killing my heelside, so I cranked em up for the last few days of the season, helped a bit:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Haha, you've turned a ketchup and mustard FP into a Virus! You should ride it duck, 90 and -90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paragonUE Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 oh yeah, that would be uber comfy but I think a virus would be great for me, the lower angles tend to give me that sitting down heelside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Yeah, riding duck (don't smack me) on a softie setup made me just sit down on a hard heelside... Seated carving... May as well buy an asym.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paragonUE Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 my soft setup doesnt have a a real big SCR so carving isnt a real option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 theres a problem that nobody can see: your trucks are wayy too tight on that *supposed to be* uber carvy board! Ohh, and having that much difference between your binding angles (looks about 10 degrees!) might be hurting in the long run, quite literally. Just try to get the bindings as close to the edge as possible without overhang, then after that its all about the technique!! Which youll get soon.

KingCrimson Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 No clue how you figured out the trucks... But yeah, I pointed out that his rear binding is fine, but that front one is soooo splayed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 No clue how you figured out the trucks... Actually the bushings look to small to me but nearly all do since the board I skate the most has Stims for bushings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
