[roky2k]

whereabouts is that hill??  definitely have to mission there to check it out

[spanishstud]

Ive never seen the Loaded Prototype wheels but you guys have some sick skills..

[ricardonznz]

Hit this hill up in the weekend. So much fun! Lots of spills - will post video soon.

[xedell]

what wheels are you guys on

[sllessard]

Lime Big Zigs on the Raven, proto orangatang wheels on the Dervish.

[sllessard]

Some times that happens to me on the new Raven just due to the set up. I have the old big amber flys, running really loose. I usually ride top mounts, it took a bit getting use to the difference. It could just be a matter of trying to tweak your set up, or just figuring out why that boards riding that way vs. another board. Maybe weighting has to be different? I've never rode an evo, and the Raven is the only board I have thats not a top mount... so my expereince is slightly limited.

[DHland]

i am having trouble with the toe side drifts (im goofy mongo)any advice

also ididnt think the made the rave as a production board

[sllessard]

What issues are you running into? Gripping to much, getting side ways, getting tossed?

The Raven is in production I believe. Shoot them an email or give them a call, and I think they will set you up. Even though on the site its still in the Future section. Hopefully it'll be switched over soon. The one I rode in the video was one of the earlier protos. And was the 40in, I've been riding the 42in recently. Its a fun board drifty board.

[DHland]

well gettin sideways and tossed (im not new to the sport but im nowhere near where i would like to be) but the main board i have this problem on is the LY evo i think the reason is that the fron breaks free long b4 the rear causeing me to high side over the board and land on my face and chest and if it matters i am also goofy mongo

[perneignacio]

niiiiice place

[jacobcoreno]

that looks so sick. haha i can't drift yet i just get too far sideways and can't bring it back and get thrown off forward. practise makes perfect i spose :D

[gimoe69]

[rickmanary]
