I wear minimum of a helmet every time i ride be it skate, long or mountainboard. Watching your best mate have a good 10 minute fit, die then be revived, spend time in a coma, then get sectioned under the mental health act for a while before luckily for him everything clicking back to near enough nor...

They both use cylindrical bushings and that's about where the similarities end. The ride feel and durability are completely different.

Looking for a set of used noSno softs before I have to give Dave more of my money.

Axles went in the post yesterday Ian. Will find out from the Mrs how much the postage was and let you know tonight (less than 4 quid I think).
Granite would make an awesome rock guard given the state it made of my alloy axle when I did a frontflip/scorpion face plant manouver!

even more fun when everyone has to ride with a baguette and yoghurt in their bag. You stack, you have a nasty lunch!

I've ridden courcheval with the pleisure guys, chamonix, pleney (italy), tignes (france), Morzine (france), Bardonecchia (italy) and a few in between. For most riding for your money it has to be courcheval or tignes. Courch obviously has a great scene as the pleisure guys are legends, very helpful, ...

don't think you'd need to pump them up that high, even for street. The strikers are 4-ply all over so the rubber is nowhere near as flexible as most 8" tyres on the market. 50psi should do you fine on them. Generally for bigger tyres you can get away with lower pressures - I never run my 10's above ...

That iconic haircut IS a crash helmet!

Whinlatter looks rad.

sorry bud, work 7am-6pm during the week. Just had my lie-in (rudely interrupted by the shite-hawks next door at 8 i might add) and will pop to the post office today. If you could pm me your address i'll get them away to ya.

mark has a chunk of trampa deck from where the tip bends up bolted to the bottom of his endplate, seems to do the job of rockguard pretty well. Good bit of outside the box thinking to save cash. I do love the nosno rockguard, and would love one on my mantlepiece as a piece of sculpture but damn, CNC...

cheers etchy!

cheers for that rog, etchy's just dropped them off. Now i've just gotta get rid of those springs and make some holes in the green beast and i will be there!

haha, no i've just got the one. One of the old prototypes with no holes or nice shaping to it. It's welded to my endplate by several years of mud shit and rocks so even if i wanted to, i can't get rid of it! The axles come to about 910g so i'll package them up and find out the score from the post of...

Your picture for noSno trucks are actually G4-S trucks. They were well sketchy to ride! They didn't like going heelside too well just like the short-lived howla trucks.

Looking to get some matrix trucks for an old green comp16 project. Yummy.

they've been sat doing nowt for about 5 years so a few extra days won't hurt! Paypal should be fine bud. Not sure how much they'll cost to post as they are quite weighty but shouldn't be too painful. One axle is slightly narrower than the other to accomodate the extra width the brake system adds on,...

got an old set of the wide composite brake axles without the end stubs which you could have for £15 + p+p.

you've got to be very careful about re-setting your shoulder yourself too. Guy at work popped his out a few months back when a branch snapped on him. He popped it back in and had a week off. Pain didn't really go away as he'd trapped a bit of muscle in the joint and it popped out again quite impress...
