Thanks.

You have to ask Willabong if it to slow, Will would know what slow is.

Sorry Willabong
You did beat Lookiezx-5, so now we have a new captain slow
If you can't beat Lookiezx-5, then i think you need to go and see Dr Rudi

Hi dave. I found when i was using my laxx, when the rear slowed down a lot it was the top shock mount bushes had been over tightened and bulged out, stopping the shocks moving freely. Just check how much clearance you have.
