That’s a serious set-up.
How fast you get on those bad boys?
And what wheels are you running?
I don't know that guy. The image is from when they used to do a World Cup Downhill Race there before Covid, where the best riders from all over the world would come to Florida, Massachusetts to compete in a sanctioned race on that road for prize money.
As for Whitcomb Hill Rd? 45 mph standing up, 70 mph in a tuck if you have leathers and a seriously good full face helmet. Over 60 is kinda the Death Zone where if you eat it bad and slide into the guard rails, that could be it for you.
Skaters who really go 'all in' on downhill, think nothing of spending $800.00 or more on Swiss precision trucks and another $1000.00 and up on leathers than need replaced occasionally, $250.- $400.00 or more for a deck? It adds up for sure but it is what it is.
and the wheels? There's at least a dozen or more companies that make downhill wheels. I use both 65 and 70mm Blood Orange 80As. I don't know what wheels the guy in the picture has. If you want to see it done well, watch any Josh Neuman video on his YouTube channel.
*This is what Swiss Precision trucks look like if you've never seen them and know this before you laugh at the price, you're betting your life on these trucks not failing. No guaranteed second chances at that speed.
OK,
You’re kinda full of shit.
You talked about how you bombed hills, and then posted a pic, who we assumed to be you but is just some random guy you put up for basically no reason.
Then you post all these trucks, talking about ‘Swiss precision’.
C’mon, how many of those are actually made in Switzerland? I’m counting all different brands, Gullwing, Randall, Ronin, Aera, and a bunch of others. They are precision trucks, but Swiss-made? You sound like you’re talking out of you’re ass a bit.
Especially when considering you think ACEs are perfect without any flaws, and you get all defensive when someone points out that you don’t know that you’re talking about.
