This is Awesome!

I got everything but the deck so far and I decided I'd try it out with my current board to see if I could get it to work (and because I wanted to see how putting it all together worked). When I did I was amazed at the difference and I could feel how it worked. I wasn't able to really give it a full test run because the street I live on is currently covered in salt and other various debris but I could feel how different it was from other longboarding and I think I came pretty close to getting it to work.

here's some pics of my setup until I get my Pulse 40:

what do you think with the o-tangs i dont like them for DH i think they side to much. i know you havent really tested it but have you felt it?

from what I can tell I think they're gonna be a good wheel for LDP. The stuff I'm riding is pretty well worn and tough so I think they'll work out alright.

Just a couple of things I noticed -

How much dewedge are you using on the rear?   It looks like 17 degrees total.   You may want to switch the 10 degree angled risers out for 3-5 degrees, and add flat riser to make the height match the front truck.    

Also, on your front truck, it may work better if you lose the bottom washer.

yea, I'm running  20-22* up front & 15-17* in back. I'll decrease the dewedging in back when I get a chance and I'll try removing the washer off my front bennett too.
