As soon as I find out I’ll let you all know when…
I’ll try and score the original footage and put it up on YouTube…
Can you put enough weight into a turn to get wheelbite? I can see a group of people skating, getting good at it, starting to do hard turns, then all of a sudden they are flying through the air from 4’ up. Or how about a group Ollie or Kickturn! Hicksy, Very cool good job!
No Glenn,
No wheelbite, the shockies stop them from hitting via their full compression and extension…
It leans really well with a very tight turning circle… got about 6" free both rails.
Finished the speaker installation and set up the brakes last night, I’ll get a piccie of it when she’s back on her feet…
No probs Daklaw,

Roughly translated
Quote:
Simplesmente or maior skate gave World! Com 4,75m or MSDM SURRA é or maior skate feito I tied hoje em all or world.
4.75 metres long
Mine’s still bigger… by about 1.2 metres
Bwoo-hahahaha…hahahaha…hahaha
Well it’s finally been ridden!!!
And I was sooo nervous…finally got the deadmans brake set up an hour before everyone turned up…jeez I hate springs…
Gave it a test drive for the TV camera, and it went really well considering I had hardly any hill and 4 teenagers hanging off the back stopping me from steering it…
And the cameraman telling me to stop halfway down the hill so he could get a better shot…
Oh well, I’ve learnt something more about it…
Joanne took some footage for us…
Better footage to come when I get the DVD from the station…
I’ll let you know when it’s going to be on…
so stoked…
good work hicksy. congrats mate!
You are amazing! That is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time.
Thanks guys,
Now I know how it performs I’m ready for a bigger hill !!!
Wow, that is awesome! You have got to bomb a hill on that thing, excellent work man!
awesome hicksy!!!
I hope you get out of this skatie all that you hoped for.
can’t wait to see it on the telly mate!!!
Speed wobbles could be a BITCH…take out a car or two. Oops. Oh, and how hi can you ollie?
Howzit Hicksy, Well now I guess you need to get registration and insurance, maybe even a truck drivers license since it’s bigger than a car. Just kidding that’s what I call a big project.Aloha,Kokua
here’s my idea. Get yourself a big, inflatable Michelin man suit. Great padding for when you fall off. Then, you approach Michelin for a sponsorship.
(Of course, you ought to put Michelin tires on it first…)
Hicksy,
Epic. You're the man.
Alright!
I’m going to try to get this on the San Diego News just for shits and giggles.
Cheers.
Thanks everyone,
Rhino, San Diego News!!
