I too had a set of the blades from the 70's Bittner speaks of. The only way I ever got enjoyment from them was on windy ass days, with a mast and sail on a deck I borrowed from Rick Wertz. I think it was an old Bahne with a plastic pivot that the mast set in!

Oddly 'nuff, I was worried he'd done just that! Turners are basically a torsion box type construction and the outer skins are their strength. NEVER let a mounting screw penetrate the skin! Or it will be a "wall hanger" And that would upset Bobby!

If you have your's run out prety far.(as the one shown) make sure that lock nut is snugged up good! I learned the hard way in 2002 on a TTC that they can, and will "pop" out!! Ground a bit of nose off(luckily the deck and not mine) Although it was a Turner, not one of my older ones atleast.

I too, find a good and "true" off-set allows you to focus more on steering the front truck in the direction you want, and frees up the split-second decision you have to apply pressure to the rear truck in order to maintain traction! Riding styles vary, but for me, I tend to rely on the front to be t...
