ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

5 weeks testing and getting feedbacks from now on
after that you will get info on the time spans involved in production and delivery
check by from time to time to read it all here

huh, curious to read the different feedbacks...but well, no doubt out there...

rmn

if the World Champ pays for the trucks like the others did ! .....but you have an airflow offset as a back truck ! thats your sponsor ! What will Chris say ?

hey ramon

i remember you eyeing those trucks in hannover already,you showed interest and i was all for it to give you some trucks,but not for free.at least the material had to be paid.
after hannover all the posts i read were not very positive regarding the truck,only criticism,sometimes i think childish and unfunded.


the you speak to frank at the worlds about the trucks and he told you that you have to ask me.
you could have done that in brixx,well you didn't.

all the trucks we had are gone.
gone to the right guys,frank followed my decisions on that. and he told you something else,which you surely remember regarding your previous comments.
being as good as you are you surely don't need those trucks.some others might...

If you're not still decided, then please have a look... ( will fit perfectly with the deck I'm gonna order you Don'... )

Well, the only things I mentionned were about the width (the front truck is a bit too wide) and the industrial design, but which has the reason that in this way the production costs can be kept low. I understand that.

And yes, I've been racing very good on my Tracker/Airflow combo, so I guess there's no need for changing my setup. The only reason why I wanted to test your trucks is curiosness and the kind gesture of giving you a proper feedback.

However, I guess this is not really required.

Have fun and some good results on your super turny trucks. We understand each other.

watch this...they arrived in 4 different colors. The price in europe is 150€.



order them at http://www.concretewave.de

Is the pivot size different from the proto type to the production line?

New trucks are in stock. The little Kingpin Problem is fixed and the trucks are stronger then ever. In europe available at www.concretewave.de

I must agree, the "new" version seems stronger : thicker kingpin going deeper in the baseplate... I mounted it on my GS board and took it for a cruise, all I can say is that it turns in a dime, very impressive !!!
I'll give the truck an intensive training at the trocadero tuesday night and I'll give you my impressions...

thumbs up for the DDof crew!

are the rears availible yet?

the rears are in production
about 10 will be given(again) to a chosen group of teamriders to overgo the changes and improvements jason gave to his signature truck.once all is approved/rnd'ed by the crew those will be available too.
we are speaking about a month on time to be spent on the new rear truck before it hits the market.

GOG's are now available in Oz. Shipment arrived on Friday. Amazing trucks. First in best dressed.

Cheers

Adrian

OK, yesterday night I've set up my GOG truck on my giant slalom deck ( around 34" ).

Front : GOG + regular 86A avalon + 15° wedge
Rear : Airflow + regular 80A avalon + 10° de-wedge

We set up the pro tight slalom ( 40 cones at 6 feet and a half ) on the Trocadero slope...
As expected the truck, is REALLY turny and very safe, I couldn't imagine to do "so well" with my giant board in a tight slalom !!!!!

It's all good, the truck works well for me, so it will for you I guess !

hey fred that's the right board with the right truck 6 foot courses are no problem with that board and a gog in front
make sure you throw away the rear our rears are available soon.
you know how the front works now,but the rear is a bit different and by far the best rear truck on the market.

Oh, forgot to mention, I kept the stock bushing under the hanger + soft indy on the top !

do bushings such as radikals work in the hanger or are they too big?

they fit fine in mine Luke.

cool mike. i want to try yours out cough moatfield tomorrow cough

HI Fred

Is a 15° Wedging not to much? I skate tight with maybe 3-5° and not more because the truck is turning enough. Ok I do not use a 34" for that but .....

But when it´s going good for you it´s fine. Thanks for your support. See you in May!!!

so any updates on avaliability?

rears are coming finally
10-15 per week
what a long wait it really sucks to be dependent
frank had the first rears with him yesterday nice stuff
keep in touch with maria she will spread the news

So Sk8kings just sold out of fronts.

Any idea when the fronts will be available again in the US?

I'm bringing some back from Germany after the Paris race. We'll be back on June 5th if anyone wants to pre-book or prepay in Canada.

We only have so much room. If you need them sooner and want to prepay we will make every effort to get some here before we leave in May.

Heiko at concretewave.de has probably some front G.O.G's left ?!

go to www.concretewave.de

there are several new black fronts available

PM or email jimwax@mac.com for details

Today I got the second round of GOG front trucks. A slight changing on the base allows now bigger wheels. Black with Gold print on are available from now on. I have enough in stock at www.concretewave.de
In europe they are 149€ per piece. Shipping inside germany is for free and in europe it´s 10€. Switzerland the shipping is 30€ I´m sorry but they are not EU. Shipping to the US is 30€

hold one for me

I'll be in Germany for the GOG race so I can bring some GOG's to Switzerland without paying €30 for taxes. Just to let you know.

rmn

hey ramon...
you know that we are proud non-sellers to switzerland,right?
i never ever sold a single deck to switzerland and to my knowledge not even one truck made it there either,you being the exception of course.

Pavel is cool because in Switzerland nobody likes them...

I am cool because I am tolerant.

rmn

and I'm tolerant because I'm cool

Yes, the new batch of front trucks is AWESOME.
The finish is perfect as usual, and the new baseplate is 5mm taller.

Pelle, I'm all ready in love

I have tested Henkes Pavel with GOG trucks, smooth as ...
But where can I buy the rear truck?

This is probably like cursing in the church but here it goes, GOG vs Radikal?

Thanks Toby

Sounds grrrrrrrrreat

gog and radical is simular to each other but g.o.g is adjustible thats the big differens for what i can say (i have both) rear truck. and front i have radical but i havent got any front g.o.g but my old skf truck working realy god as well! allmost like a radical!!!

Well, as far as I felt comparing the two trucks, a GOG front turns with less withstand, thus smoother. If you look at the surface where the bushing sits, the GOGs are totally even whereas the Radikals how a carved bushing seat which affects the bushing while turning.

On a GOG truck you could even use PVD bushings - the bushing geometry doesn't really matter as long as you make it fit on the kingpin. There's nothing that disturbs the bushing from being compressed.

So now I just have one problem left if Concretewave still has the front truck in stock and that is to find a rear GOG.

I'm not unhappy with my current setup, Splitfire in the front and Airflow OS in the back mounted on a "Fox" with Hotspots, but...

(thanks Ramon luve your board)8-)

Concrete Wave has what you can see in stock, but you can always email and ask.
