meanis have you posted this on the asra website? few of the people there are very good to ask for australian advice particularly as they organised Newtons games.

also silverfish website is defintiely worth checking for advice.

might be a good idea to pm Bugs on Charlie or Asra as well. If he cannot give you a decent answer he will know who to ask 4 sure.

I suspect that Old school richie (OSR on Charlie would have some really astute advice particularly with modding the truck and bushings for the spheric bearings (OSR is a pioneer in that field in the Aust part of the skating world) although he is more into slalom rather than giant downhill and longboards

imo flipping the hanger dosnt make the truck more stable but it lowers the whole board a little in turn making it a more stable ride.
