A buddy runs a skateshoip here in the UK and he got a drop of Blender's Polarizer decks. Got one and set it up with the little roller skate trucks and started tweaking the bushings:
I put Sure Grip super soft (72a) bushings on it and holy shit what a turn! I've been pumping and turning around my local park for a couple of weeks on this thing - addictive, I haven't rode my regular street board for an age!
I've got about a 3 foot turning circle on this - my local concrete park doesn't have many good lines and I'm trying to work out a pumping / carving line all the way through.
Kids are confused by it - they keep trying to flip it!! |

They're Sure Grips, a friend runs RipRide Skateshop:

You gotta tell me the difference between the two when you set them up, need to know if the standard one is worth getting.
Did you get yours from Grim at Freestyle? |

| This thing gave me a hipper at the weekend; getting too confident and leaning forward, I hit a twig and it threw me onto my hip! |

And these Heated Wheel Trucks which are like a beefier version of the Sure Grips. I hear there's an interesting Spring Drop of Polarizers including some with flex. Will put these trucks on them if they look cool.
