hey guys, i just got a Pocket Pistols Hill Killer setup from SOH...its sort of stock i guess..this is my first longboard
randall trucks
abec gumballs.
not sure if randalls were the best option_any opinions to tweak it out a lil more.?.if i switched bushings to softer would it turn a lil more responsive...maybe im just not used to the wheelbase yet, but ive rode other longboards that turned quicker.
thanks
pat |

| Switch out the bushings for Khiros�but use washers to make up for the size deficit. |

| Also swap in some grade 8 kingpins, just to make them easier to adjust. Randall kinpins have smaller heads and are hard to adjust. Plus I have heard of the kingpins snapping. |

If you got the new randal 180's, then your setup is already killin' it.
I suggest just throwing JIMZ stimz in there, haha. |

And you won't for awhile. Skateshops employ stupid floppy headed school boys to do their ordering and they ain't into longboards or speedboards.
Same problem here. In a city loaded with longboarders and speedboarders with $140 ,000 race every year and many more in and around the city one such stupid floppy headed school boy who buys for one of the largest shops in the city actually started an "I hate longboarders" group on Facebook and regularily mocks the customers that come in looking for longboards. The owners are equally stupid for not realizing whats going on. |
