Donald, is the geometry exactly the same as Radikal?

-Distance from pivot to bushing seat
-Forward offset of axle from pivot axis ("caster")
-Distance from axle to bushing seat (on a line parallel to pivot axis)

I'm interested, thanks

hey everybody
tons of e-mails and pm's on the board

i'll keep you all updated on the progress

so far only a few folks will have those trucks in brixlegg
whoever is there can chack and ride the trucks,compare for yourselves

all the details will be posted here later on

one thing though:

i create a hype,i love to do that.
but same as with my boards i ask people to remain critical and open-minded about a product in general.
i so often read"awesome" and all the other comments on boards,but i have the feeling that it's mostly about the looks of the board f.e.
what frustrates me then is that people don't seem to recognize the hard work by the riders that went into the final product/shape/concave.
that's what makes a certain board so desirable.
vincent's gunner had about 10 predecessors until we finally agreed on something we could sell with a good feeling.
steve hinzen was always there to help me/educate me with his rich surfboardshaper background.
so this board f.e. is a result of vince's hard and efficient work and input.
same goes for steve.
the final product is an accumulation of info-i am the slave to my/your desire then to make it happen.
i want you to see the trucks the same way.
once they are really ready you can be damn sure that they have the ok of top-skaters.
so they must be worth their money then.
we'll make sure they look really sharp then,so that you won't hestitate to buy them.
frank beste is the constructer of those trucks and he knows damn sure what he is doing,maybe more than a few others who are always eager to post about trucks.
he deserves a LOT of credit too.
i'm there to make things happen,that's where i'm really good at.

Donald if they perform half as good as they look...you are onto a winner! Keep us posted as to when they become available. Do any of "your boys" have them at present so I can quiz them?

A and B PROTOTYPES

Post by Donald Campbell » Mon Jul 10, 2006 9:43 am

what you saw in the first post was the A prototype.
we are just receiving our B prototypes and they already! look as perfect as any other truck available on the market..besides the accurate cnc-job they are sandblasted and come in a matte grey with logo on the hanger polished in shiny silver.
i'll post a few pics this evening for you to see the first B proto of the non-wedgeable front truck
wedgeable front and rear are due for brixlegg.
please take your time to visit the vendors booth we have there to check out all the products from this year's sponsors for the worlds.
G.O.G. will be there too.
