Hey Barry thanks man…I appreciate the kind words. But honestly Mark has just been amazing to me. It’s really all him on the design. I’m just gratefully to be friends with him and skating his brackets. It’s crazy how we hooked up through JP. Thanks again man…

Speaking of friends….

I can’t wait to hit up Dorney again with you. I will do my best to bringeth the SUN…..

Sweet Dude Wink

I hope we get a spell of calm dry weather when you come over. It would be good to pump and shred a whole day away at Dorney with you again.

Take care,
Barry Wink

ive got mine setup with 5.0 and 75a tarantula wheels and it rides very nice,

the effect of the brackets make it feel more like a 4,3 or just a smaller truck though. might have to try thee 6.0s to make sure ^_^

ok so i decided to go buy some Bennet 6.0s since i felt the brackets made the trucks feel like they were a smaller size.
I have to say that i was right. I currently have a Galac setup with 5.0 bennet and it feels the same way now. nice and surfy and stable when i push.

I think im close to getting this thing dialed in as the ultimate pusher pumper for the next ultraskate event, i have a proto 5 ply deck from mark ( since i weigh 200 pounds) and what i believe are the newish brackets.

The set up is as follows:

5ply cambiar deck and brackets
6.0 bennets:
Front: abec 11 super bushing ( to match bennet standard bushing) and a orange khiro cone
Back: Standard bennet bushings
=== the reason to have 2 bennet bushings it to reduce the time needed to mod the deck for garages. now i just swap out the bushings in the front and adjust the wedge and its set. ==

front wheels: 70mm Seven ohs ( testing them out, seem nice and reboundy and soft so far)

Back wheels: 76mm Superballs ( bigger contact patch for more traction, and a bigger wheel to keep momentum, plus the slight incline it gives you makes it that much easier to push power to the front. Will sub out for pink big zigs soon, to match the seven ohs. )

Awesome rodgon! How does a Bennett for the back truck feel?

(Manual Pump Bent Bracket)

I had been tossing around this idea for a while, ever since I saw the thread on the Walkabout in regards to manuals. I missed trying to do them on my Dervish. I threw the idea out to Mark and one week later a prototype arrived at my door. Mark you freaking rock!!! Right off the bat I could tell I was getting good leverage, he created just enough lip to allow it to be comfortable. The nice part is that it is the exact same angle as my original bent bracket. Which means all of my other skating\pumping is unchanged. Although I can’t fully manual yet to speak of, within a couple of hours I was starting to hold it longer and longer. It does change the look of the overall appearance of the board. But I must say it’s extremely functional.

i did about 10 miles today, through a semi hilly sidewalk bay area. its getting there thats all i have to say. hahaha have to dial in the front truck a little more and itll be there definitely. ^_^ incredibly easy to pump... incredibly easy to push... ( and stable to skogg a little ^_^) and even with very heavy wind it was a breeze to transition between pushing pumping without losing the enjoyment of the ride.
