Stubbs where you At?
Do you by any chance have any pics of anyone riding one of these or any pics of one setup. Im trying to dial the perfect big ass setup. I am thinkin this, libtech, gravity, I emailed danny at f13, or skull skates. But i love my hustler and would like to check one of these out. |

If you like the Hustler, the next step up is the Numbchuck. The el Diablo Loco, with graphics by our very own Grumpy 'Ol Bastard, is a 42" X 9" with a 22" wheelbase. Here's a pic:
I like to use a 139mm truck on this board with some No Skoolz or something similar. In the pic above I have it set up with Indys and Flashbacks. A very functional board.
Snag one from www.MileHighSkates.com |

| i didnt get it because i was afraid that being 8ply that it would weigh a ton. so i went with the gravity brad edwards and i am not 100% thrilled with my descision. it is flexy but that is not a big deal. afroman hustler has been my fav so far. |

ahhh 139's !!!! hmmmm... probably a real good call; I was running 215's on mine and it rode like crap (if you were doing stuff involving lifting the front end off the ground) swing weight from hell -- it IS kinda nose heavy anyway... but it was a wicked garage bomber... may have to dust it off and slap some smaller trucks on it......
BTW .. Stubbs-- let me know when the elusive EL DISCO becomes available...... |

DO NOT FEAR THE 8 PLY!!!!!!!!!
You are purchasing a long board. You have got to know already that it is going to weigh a lot. Now you have a flexy, half way decent board that you are not that enthused with. 8 ply is the way to go on kick tail longs, period.
JIM- I'll let you know when the el Disco comes around. |

I just know that my hustler weighs a friggin ton but it is a rad deck. I just thought about that with an extra 6in. i will def consider it for my next. |

Hell yes I've ridden it in bowls. Parks mostly, few pools. And yes it will be heavy but you just gotta manhandle that sucker. Don't let it ride you, you ride it!  I'm serious, though. In a open park setting it will excel and you will have a blast. |
