how are the indy 101s for a back truck?
also what should it be dewedge at?
is there a rule of thumb,like the same as the front,or half of front,or when it works for you?
thanks.
Shane.

Baby powder works for me.nothing in it to attrac dirt.

well i took the back wedge out and put a 1/2" block in its place. it works a lot better now,thank you. ive seen the wedge that your talking about,i will see if i can get my hands on it. i just got the cheap wedges,its the only ones the local skate shop carrys. the course was almost the same as last ...

I'm starting to get the hang of this slalom stuff, well I think I am anyway. I'm getting a whole lot faster than I was at the beginning of summer, but now I need to know how to slow down. I get up to speed, then I get going to fast to make the cones. So what I need to know is how do I slow down with...

well glenn, i had the skinny ends towards the front on both trucks,but i stopped by the skate shop and got some risers and took the wedge of the back truck and put the riser on it.i havent had a chance to try it out yet tho.looks like i wont get time till this week end. if i stand on the Bahne it do...

Ive got them wedged Glen. but ive noticed that some boards do have a flat riser on the back,so ill give it a shot. the Bahne is set up with Tracker x/s wegded and Abec stinger 92 and 88. but i was wondering about the flex tho.the old G&S felt slower and smoother,but i was just as fast if not faster ...

i was out slaloming yesterday.the course we set up was the hardest for me so far,im fairly new to slalom. ive been riding a black hill,i like it a lot. but i was haveing problems getting down the course with out knocking over or blowing sections of the course. the course was 6'center with sets of 4 ...

hey, well i got the Blackhill set up with Tracker 105 racetrack x&s.i put medium bushings in the back truck.ive got it wedged front and rear,plus i put a 1/8" riser on the front. i was getting wheel bite bad on 6 foot off set cones.then for now i got Abec stinger 88 and 81.i got harder ones orderd. ...

i could use some info on toe blocks.
im just now (today)started having this problem with my front foot moving way foward.
the back end got real light a few times.
so does any one know how to build one,or know where i could see some pictures of them?
any info would be helpful.
Thanks,
Shane.

My daughter went and got me a Black Hills deck for Fathers day. so now i got to set it up.and i could use some help. im going to put Tracker s/x trucks on it,but i noticed there is differnt hanger widths,so what size would be best for the Black Hill? then the wheel choice is open,i dont have much ex...

i live in Southwestern Oregon,not Ashland either.its a small town of Coquille we have 4275 residents.i know there has to be more than 2 of us who like to run cones,but so far we havent found them.but i keep looking. most of the local skaters are young and all the want to do is street style skateing....

so was your Black hills board a 7 ply before modifacation?
i see they have 6 and 7 ply now.
and do you think it would be a good board to learn on and advance on?
thanks.
Shane.

so i went and put some medium bushings on the back trucks,tightend them up.and i feel like im faster.plus it does handle better. i didnt knock over alot of cones.so i thank you for the info on bushings.it has help me save alot of time and heart beats. as for flexing,it is more than likly the problem...

well i guess ill ask about deck types this time. so what makes a deck a tight or GS slalom board? and i see some decks have got 2 drillings in the back for wheel base,some single cut,some full bodied and a few double cut designs. so what should i look for in a deck? so far i like the Blackhill,the y...

i am trying a freinds set of Abec Stingers right now.92 and 88.they are a lot faster than the Hester wheels. ive been looking at boards,so far i like the black hill.and the tracker are what ill get for sure.as for wheels i havent a idea. ive rode a Comet GS board,i forget which one. it had the Track...

the trucks im using are some old ACS 651. for that matter,the board im using is old. its a FiberFlex by Gordon&Smith.i believ its called a double cut(slalom board)its red. i got Hester wheels too.i bought it in 1977.i was the only kid in town to have a slalom board. i figured i would play on it till...

well,no one of my trucks is not on back wards.it is kind of hard to xplain.it happens at the end of the turn from one cone to the next.just when your setting up for the next cone.and when im turning hard. it just feels like the back truck is still turning while the front is just got straight. its li...

I went and put new bushings for my trucks and i adjusted them to where they felt good by standing on them.the first time i rode it the back truck felt like it was still turning right when i was going left.or the other way,it was like a slide. so i adjusted it a turn tighter.it stopped the sliding fe...

well i guess ive been practicing the right way,but the cones are a bit tighter. iv been doing 6 and tighter,but i think ill go to 7 footers and work on pumping.i cant seem to pick up speed but i maintain it ok. but iv only got about 4 hours of running cones,and 1 hour of that was on smooth concret a...

what is a good cone spacing for practice.
im new to Slalom,well i took a long time off from it.
so any info on course lay out would be helpful too.
thanks.
