No reason for sluff and fluff, let's get right to it. Milk makes top-notch cues
for a new kid on the block. The pros, Cerda, Chatman and Hosoi, all have

some problems in the flatspot department, but the shapes and sizes are
right at the top, maybe I got a bad cure. Milk in a nutshell: tuff and ruff...

Blaize Blouin and the boys back east
have started a new company called
Alternate Laboratory. The self-

bad ass riders and stiff slabs. The

A company that has traveled a lot of
miles in their first year of business,
they make everything from wheels

from the bottom. Push the mount-
ing bolts though and attach one
truck at a time. Make sure that
the kingpin and bushings face
the inside.
3. Assemble the nuts and tighten.
Don't crank them too tight, but
tight enough so that bolts don't
stick above the tape
4. Put two bearings on the axle.
Now take a wheel and push with
your palm so that one bearing is in
it's place. Flip the wheel and do it
again on the other side.
5. Put the nut on and tighten. Go
all the way down and then back
off a half turn so that there is a
little bit of play. Now do the
same on the other three.
6. Go outside and
