JANUARY 8th 9pm-midnight. RYE AIRFIELD THROWDOWN 05

Any idea on what to ride?
Should I just loosen the trucks on my park board or is a slalom setup the way to go?
I would guess hard, park wheels but that's only my guess.

Clue me in brother man.
Give me the skinny.

Correction:

That should read "brotha man".

(I'm so white it's not even funny, yo.)

I'm thinking hard park wheels will be the call, I've ridden my slalom setup in there with grippins 88/92 and it feels slow, but obviously sticks better than park wheels. I don't really know, experiment I guess brotha man, hybrid? I can just see the avalons on indy 169s now. Got any bulldog Dub Cons? 95a but wide as hell to stick. Sector 9 has a 8.25 X 31.75 deck with a kicktail I have setup with rts/x and dubcons. Seems to work well.

hey guys, i just took a look at the park map, and that's pretty impressive! the schedule says there's a comp on Jan. 8th, but do we get the park after that? that would be fun to watch. you said park to our selves right! that would be sweet! park slalom sounds fun, but all those concrete and wood bowls are calling me. any info on local accomodations?

Its gonna come down to wheels Troy. The guy who smoked everyone last year rode a flipper deck. 2nd 3rd and 4th rode slalom decks. Hard wheels are a must. Too flexy a deck and you mush out on the trannys. TK
