don, you need harder ones for luging.
most use the hard blue one on bottom and black on top. (randal bushings)
see if these guys can get you what you need.
or maybe contacting randal direct.

I replaced my Randal DH downhill truck bushings (black) with Doh-Doh yellows 92 duro, does anyone know the duro of the stock black bushings, and does irssports have the replacements? The yellow ones had too much play on the trucks, even with kingpin tight, so now I cant use them. There is also some play in the pivot cup which is yellow, so I guess I need a new on of those as well. Thanks

DEMONS of DOWNHILL-BAINBRIDGE
2005 IGSA WORLD CUP
UNLIMITED STREET LUGE - GRAVITY BIKE
CLASSIC STYLE - DOWNHILL INLINE
DOWNHILL SKATEBOARDING
Bainbrdige, Ohio
Oct 14-16, 2005
The Location
Bainbrdige Ohio will once again host a world-class gravity sports event, on a world-class hill. 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2004 brought gravity racing to the infamous Jester Hill, and now that racing is back. The course will be the same 60+ mph, nerve-shattering course. The venue will be a whole new world with whole new pavement! The pit area and course infrastructure will be world class and make this once great race venue even better. After the races, riders will be able to gather and discuss the day at official restraunts and after-parties.
This years event is geared towards offering the best riding on one of the world’s best courses against some of the world’s top riders. Many partnerships are in the works to bring spectators to the event and to raise the bar on US gravity sports events.
Race Course:
The course starts on a moderate incline, quickly dropping around a huge sweeping left. As soon as the left starts to straighten up, you have to push yourself through "corner 2", a fast, sharp right. You speed up down a straight and set up for the fast chicanes, followed by a less severe set of chicanes. Then it's a battle of momentum and areo dynamics to the finish of this 1.2-mile long course. All on brand new pavement!
Classes: All IGSA World Cup classes will be offered including Unlimited Street Luge, Classic Style, Gravity Bike, Inline Board, Downhill Inline and Downhill Skateboard. Awards will be given to the top four finishers in each category. IGSA World Cup Points will be awarded to Downhill Skateboarding, Unlimited Street Luge, Classic Style, Stock Gravity Bike, and Downhill Inline Skating. The classes are open to all competitors.
Technical Inspection:
All racing vehicles and safety equipment will be subject to a strict technical inspection before being allowed on the race course. Complete rules and regulations are available at www.gravity-sports.com Racers don’t forget to bring that hanger for the leathers.
Entry Fees:
$125.00 US fee will be in effect for the first class, and $50 for second class and $20 for each additional class. All entries need to be mailed to the race organizer...
Junior Discount:
Competitors aged 18 and under receive a 50% discount on entry fees!
Late Registration:
Registration for the event will be open till the mourning of the event. A $150.00 US entry fee for entries received after Oct 2, 2005 and will be cash only.
Directions:
From Port Columbus, take 670 E to 270S. Take 270S to US23 at exit 52. Continue south on 23 for 35 mile. Merge onto N Bridge St towards Washington C H/ Chillicothe. Continue for 4 miles. Turn right onto US50 towards Bainbridge and continue for 20 miles. Once in Bainbridge, turn left after the first traffic light into Jester Hill Rd. approx. .5 miles up the road on the left will be the base of the course, parking, and pit area.
Airlines:
The closest major airport to the event is Port Columbus. Rental vehicles are readily available at the airport. From there, it is approximately 1.5 hours.
Cincinatti International is approximately 2 hours from the hotel and offers discounts as a major Delta hub.
Lodging:
The Holiday Inn Express is within short walking distance of the Comfort Inn and does have an indoor pool where the Comfort Inn does not.

Hello,
Sorry we're really late this year but we were really close of our goal: 2 sessions of 3 days of riding for more people, last weeks have been exhausting for my nerves...
But finally it will "only" be a 3 days session on our 9.5 kms road.
If you want ot come, a pre-registration is a mandatory on our website http://dde.asso.fr/ then "clic" on "IcI" (on the same line than Downhill Jamboree), then on "inscription", just fill in the form.
There's still some room for the fastest, 350 riders will be accepted, if you 're after, you will be on the "wich to come" list. ;-)
If you want more infos, send me an e-mail (don't expect any answer for the next day cause I'm overbusy at the moment but I'll answer)

ATTN ALL RIDERS: I have launched a new Message Board System for Gravity Bikes. If you are not a G-Biker, there is also a section for you! Please visit and register to make the board the number one location for Gravity Messaging! I am not affiliated with either GravityBike.com or StreetLuge.net.
As I began traversing the Internet, I realized that the boards that we use are really lame and outdated. Not to disrespect or anything, but they really aren’t as tech-savy as they could be. So I designed a forum that is fast, secure, and easy to use. PLUS it’s simple to register. Each user gets their own profile, Avatar Picture, and customized signature. Have a look and post away! See yall at the World Cup!
The Site Address is: Gbike.iwarp.com
Thanks and hope to see you there, Dan.
