The Econ�
Its setup with R-II 180�s. The rear truck is dewedged (fat part of the wedge facing out). This keeps the back end, unsquirrlied. There�s Grind King king pins (the old long ones) in there with soft blue Doh-Doh�s. �Gotta keep the king pins as low profile as possible. Randal aluminum is pretty soft and wears very quickly. Before you know it, your banging/twisting the king pin on every little chicken scratch grind. I did have Gravity 97a Street G�s ('tried soem other dif' wheels but was less than pleased) on it but changed to Spitfire Classics (60mm).
Dropping in, is not much of a problem. I find it almost easier to drop on big boards than standard length rides. It does take quite a bit of effort to keep it from falling in before ya� drop. A lot of weight needs to be kept on the tail. There�s not much you can do on the way in. Just hang on and enjoy the ride.
same setup but under a 42" Skull Mini Souldier

Not the longest (only 44", with 24" wheelbase), but due to the extreme width (15", with 13" Gullwings), quite a hefty log to swing around. Friday's "El Cochino Rodeo" saw the limits of what could be done with it pushed much further than anyone expected:

I'm talking about the Madrid.
I've only found it as a complete.
Has anybody seen it sold only as
a deck? |
