You'll be able to tell Richy Carrasco your weight and other important aspects of your general style and he will wedge and bush the steering so it will be a couple of wrench turns from raceable right out of the box... Also, if you'll ...

Stephen and Ben, I'm glad your liking the deck... The idea with the rear of the deck was to have it be rockered out like a S-camber to the 9th degree. This is why I was running just enough wedge/riser to get the rear truck angled flat (35* Splitfire).... Now I've gone a step further and I'm experime...
