Hey,
Thanks for all of the advice!
i have a pctt and it is too small, but i find the longboard is a bit too big for some of the parks with tighter trannys.
Mark,
You gonna carry skatebuilt? I was lookin at that skatecult, looks sick!

I walked into a ski shop yesterday in New Canaan, CT and they had an Afroman "Jolly Afroman" deck for sale for $70. I talked him into a 30% discount and bought it for $45. I rode it yesterday and its a sweet ride...awesome concave. But way too short for your tastes F.O.S. Anyway, I found it highly unusual for this particular shop to even have any decks, let alone some afroman stuff. Shit - they even had a kingpin mini-deck.
But you should look at the Hustler, and don't ignore Gravity or Dregs. They both have some great shapes in your desired size range. |

| All I saw were a few decks. I didn't even notice if they had trucks & wheels. I was with a colleague who wanted to see if any skis were on sale. I think they only half-heartedly got into selling skate stuff. |

Sixtracks and 65mm NoSkoolz will give no wheel overhang. The 184's will overhang front and rear (I measured/checked).

Howdy,
Since we're discussing Hustler set-ups...
this weekend I set my Hustler up with
Seismic 155's and BDS 95duro DubCons.
A VERY nice bowl bomber set-up!
There's a little wheel hang front and back,
(you could eliminate this by going to the
Seismic 130mm hangers) but talk about a
responsive ride!!
It won't kill it on the vertical like the Seismic
180mm/Shitfire combination, but it is cool that
the Hustler can be set up in different ways and
be a great ride with wildly different set-ups.
Chris Olden
