I have recently have ordered a 36" Pocket Pistol Super G board. My plan is to set it up with Sesimic 135mm with trimmed lip Avalons. The board seems very stable and I am currently in the process of tunning it before I go and rev it up for the drop.

Can any of you post your board configuration?

I am looking at up to and around 35mph on this board. Racing the clock at this speed will demand a board that I am very comfortable with. I plan to get a lot of time on the black ribbon with this one...

Adam, I recently picked up a 36" Pistol from Chicken. He was generous enough to offer one to racer with the fastest time at da farm this year, and the rain came just in time for me to secure it. (If it was a sunny day, someone else would likely have won it.) My exact board is the one on the left in the pic you posted. It's freakin' beautiful. Thanks Chicken!

Anyway, for the last week, I've had it set up with an RTS in front and a RTX offset in back. The back truck is MUCH wider than the front and while it feels great at speed, I think it will feel much better with a Turner TTC 127 in the back and a 119 RTS in front. I should have that config mounted up soon and I'll post more detailed feedback then. In the meantime, the board ROCKS.

On My Pistol 36 I ride reg Race tracks x and s and cant wait to get an offset for the rear. I tried wider trucks and felt to much tracking that made me not as quick when I needed some extra umph!I have rode this setup through all the WLAC GS races.

My 36 Super-G was set up by Chicken with 126 Indy front and TTC 127 in the back.
It works perfect.
Maybe I change the TTC 127 to an INDY Offset....

what size wheel base are we talking about on a GS board(inside mounting bolt)Would a slalom board with 20.5" be a disadvantage.

after just ordering a chicken wing i am planning on setting it up with a rtx with a slight positive wedge and a yellow stim in front. The rear gets a rts offset with a steep negative wedge and a green stim. of course with 80a avalons.

hopefully to much tweaking won't be needed, but who knows, i havent even ridden it yet.
