The easiest way...for those still bored enough and still interested enough...is to replace the 2 underscores in "www_siverfishlongboarding_com", with "dots" and then copy the link and paste it. For some reason the site changes the address every time??

Hey Erin and James,
Thanks for posting pics of my board!
I'm having fun with it.
To see Al's board with the DP front and TP back copy this exactly as is;
http://www_silverfishlongboarding_com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17789&start=200
Posting pictures here seems to be quite difficult, and I can't do hot links either. :(

Just for curiosities sake!..if anyones bored with the rain or snow??...they can check out a picture of one of my home made slalom decks with Sidewinders on front and a 3 pivot truck w/ Randal type hanger and 2 inserts on back ( confusing..huh?) on the SilverFish Longboarding site, Sidwinder thread. Heck! It might alleviate some of the 'cabin fever'! On my part..I'm gettin' heat stroke down here in Santo Domingo!!:) Where's my watttter!!
OK! I'll cut the monkey business...you can go here if you're bored enough!:

Copy and paste should do it! I still haven't learned how to put up a link! :(

Fair play man.
on a good note, my mate in the shop found some Randal downhills, so he swapped them for my RII's, WOHOO!
They seem to be alot chunkier than the ones i've seen (the ones on C.Chaputt's site for instance).
The size of the hangers, pivots to the hole where the kingpin goes through is slightly different, but i've fitted the downhill hanger to a RII 50* baseplate and it seems O.K.?
But the 180 hanger on the 30* baseplate doesn't seem to fit right and im thinking this would be a pretty stable setup for the rear, if i dewedged it, it wouldn't be far of just rocking and no turning???
What you lot think?

My Roe/Carver/Original pumping set up can be seen here;
http://www_silverfishlongboarding_com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22061
I'm not sure how to post pics on this site yet, but with Erin's help I'll eventually figure it out.
My other pumping set up is a Comet with DP trucks, but it is classified and photos cannot be posted on the internet at this time.
What do you think of the pumping set up in the pics linked above?

By the way Al... your S9-Sidewinders ROCK!!! I dig 'em for pumpin and carving, they especially shine on slight downgrades. When it dries up here I will finally get some more ride time! Sean you can see a pic of them in action in a Sector9 ad of the latest Concrete Wave, and here's a pic of a close-up: Hydra

Hey Al, with an emphasis on improving pumping leverage, I think using sky hooks would be great overall. Especially if you tend to pump more over the nose of the deck, your heelside turns are complimented by your toeside "lifting" off the deck slightly, and skyhooks might help you crank power off that. I test stuff for a living and my thinking tends toward 'failure' scenarios, so I just pointed that 'endo' situation as one minor trade-off. ;-) Though in fact, you wouldn't be entirely strapped down with hooks -- I'm sure the guys who use hooks regularly mountainboarding have their escape technique dialed, with just a little learning. Would be great to hear how it goes, if I can find a pair I'm hookin' up too!

Pumping trucks

I'm one of the primary developers of the Sidewinder truck, though I have nothing to do with the marketing of that truck. The new truck I'm developing is somewhat of a cousin to the Sidewinder, and will utilize the same DP system for turning. Anyway, its still being developed and has a little ways to go yet, but the prototype designs show some promise! Anyway, I'll try to remember you in the future and if I need an extra test rider some day, you might get a demo set?? Just an idea, but it might take a little patience on your part, because, as I said...they're not exactly ready and I'd like to get these axles and bushings done right! :) Maybe remind me in a few months?

Hey Al, I'm interested in riding these new trucks that you're making specifically designed around pumping. Do you have any pictures of them? Or the design specs of them?

To partially answer my own question...I just came across some info. on the web and it says that the Indy trucks use the 4140Crmo steel that I was talking about. So, I guess this is pretty much the best quality for the $ type of axle steel to use! Also, Herbn was some help...and I'm researching some of his ideas.
