i get your point wes.
there is a certain truth to both sides though.

nobody in the market can give a decent explanation at the moment whats right though.
so it's up to your own findings
and yes you should treat yourself witha gog sooner or later
then we'll talk!

Don,

The point was using two fronts for tight slalom in the same manner Dom described in his post.

I was told once by some guy (Mike Maysey? Steve Evans? Mike Gorman? I forget which one) that an offset truck is a waste of time for tight slalom. My experience leads me to agree.

hey rob
send me an e-mail and i'll put you on the list
we changed the factory and things are coming along most orders can be filled may/june

wes sorry to interrupt your good radikal promo

i have a gog story for you from the worlds last year
remember janis kuzmins.yes,that's the guy from out of nowhere(latvia) who got 1st place tight in the pro division.he bought his gog at the beginning of the contest and carried it all the way to victory.henrik wadsten from sweden(worlds overall champion),gog,mitch helll yesssssssssssss!!!!needless to say that the biggest part of the colorado bunch and greg fadell is on gog's.did they win any major contests?
yes i think so.
do they get paid to ride gog trucks?
no
did some of them pruchase their trucks even at regular price from us?
yes

just my meager 2 cents on the radikal influence.


no shit striirng intended just some facts to consider

Dual front Rads got me qualified in the World's tight where many other did not. Only 27 got into the 32-bracket. I went out in the first round to Stryker but still felt good about at least getting in the game.

Considering I skated about a grand total of 20 minutes in '07 I think the truck set up made a real difference.

How would I find out exactly what GOG trucks are available, and how deep I need to dig into my wallet to get one?

Order from website? Call someone? How do I do this?

Det är så inihelvete roligt, hoppas att vi ses i sommar och kan åka lite för skoj skull.

(Jag vill slippa fippla med pads som "stjäl" åktid blir lite avis när det tar 20 min. för mig att ändra på geometrin och 20 sek. för Henke)

kan säga att radical fungerar lika bra bara att gog´en e ställbar,och radical e lättare att få tag i åxå. de e ganska lätt att komma igång och ganska lätt at nå en viss nivå sen börjar de bli jobbigare,många kommer ifatt en och man tycker man bara stampar på samma stäle.... men faan va kul vi har allihopa gammla stofiler

Pelle, det kommer att svida när en nybörjare från Götet glider förbi....>

Skämt åsido så behöver jag och min åkning all hjälp den kan få och när det gäller fart i banan så behövs det en "riktig" baktruck, börjar få ordning på pumpandet nu och det är rejäl skillnad på baktruckar.

Donald, When the new 2008 GOG rears come out... will there be a financing program?

I can continue telling Wax how good he looks skating, but having to wink at him too is not my idea of a finance program.

I am the slowest COSS slalom racer..Lucky for you!

Ok, I have one question Don' :

I've noticed very slight differences between "1st gen" and "second gen" trucks like :
5mm taller baseplates but also shorter axles and a lil' difference of the hanger's shape.

Can I switch the hanger without geometry problems ? ( I guess so... )

Thanks,

Fred.

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-)

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.
