It's radical bro trying to think of some mods for this pin thinking mabey a translucent half pipe or skateboard something throw something out their Radical heads
would love to get one and design some mods for it.
- mirror blades
- mini skate dude doing a hand plant on one of the pop caps
- a small old school skate wheel attached to a shooter rod
- or design your own rod rod knob - head to shapeways and search swinksshooter and there is a custom knob that you can have a word engraved in - Skate etc...
- get some thin SS wire and bend to the shape of a ramp to simulate the rail at the top of a ramp.
have fun
Quoted from 320Gigabytes:Is there a tutorial on adding the vuk and the sling back in?
I will second that motion.
There's not a tutorial on the vuk, I will take notes and pictures when I do mine...
There is a tutorial of sorts on this thread of the 3rd sling
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/started-my-radical-project-today
However, it only hits at about 30% power, which is actually good enough for this area of the game. If full power is desired, then a gottleib pop bumper board pbb080 is needed to control the sling, I'd also use another to control the vuk if installed

RADICAL! probably one of the most undrated games if you want to just have fun!!! the ramp shots are great.. and great flow
and I have seen the question asked and replied to in the forum of the "toughest shot in pinball" I know the center shot after you knock down the 3 drop targets all the way up the playfield (timed shot before targets pop back up) is VERY tough - left flipper only , top of playfield and so damn narrow of a track!!! (I think this is where the ball would go into a drop hole to be kicked out the VUK if you had one of the early model games.. Mine does not have the VUK installed.
I have some pix of a few mods I did (on my other computer) and will post them up later tonight I hope. I have a number of mini skateboards, and skater guy that I am just waiting for the time to find the right spot to nicely and non-permanently mount them on to.. the game does have room for props and mods!!
LED's are a GREAT add on to this game to get the playfield to POP even more
way underrated, way undervalued (theoretical book values that is), and go ahead.. look around for the game for sale??? look for parts ANYTHING??? nothing zippo.
great colors/art, great flow , not too high tech but a go to pin in my lineup of higher end pinballs!
a keeper in my lineup and I do get tired of games quickly! HA
I've been hesitant to cut my ramp for the vuk wireform, because I know I only have one shot, but I really want that snake shot to be satisfying when I hit it, and just hitting a target all the way back there is not cool enough.
I've gotten pretty good at hitting that shot, but yes, it's very very tough.
I think the upper right ramp shot is actually harder. It is incredibly difficult to line up the shot, and the ramp only gets hit if in that split second the speed and connection with the flipper happen.
Quoted from Delta9:Sickkkk!!!! Where did u get the shooter rod ?
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/skateball-rollergames-radical-shooter-rod-with-bearings
I want the vuk and the add a slingshot mod where can i pick up the parts anybody have some part numbers
the part numbers are in the manual... I had pics of them , I'll look them up again, the VUK bracket is pretty much unobtanium though
Wish I bought the game when I had the chance this year. Flame torch them ramps, and you got one sick game!!!!
Santa Cruz-Slimeball Vomits!
Just traded my 2 skateboards and a couple of hundred bucks for a player quality one.One of the boards had those wheels on it!

There's also vintage skateboard tech decks, the Powell peralta designed go very well with Radical!
I designed an interactive under-cab kit for this machine awhile ago if anyone is interested in trying it out. The price is $80.00 and i will refund $20.00 if you send me a video file of my kit in action. This price only applies to the first buyer.

okay FINALLY - FINALLY I have time to put up a few pix of my RAD pinball and the little mods I did.. I like the CHOSEN_S's SLIMEBALL wheel shooter rod better than mine... I used a goofy small hard wheel from one of those half size crappy skateboards.. I DO LIKE THE SIZE OF MINE!
man - the colors on RADICAL! have to be some of the best!!! its just pretty to look at!
- pix of shooter rod
- LED lights throughout
- you might make out the clear shield I put over the close left curly ramp to stop the air balls
- orange painted legs
- leg protectors (hiding some cabinet decal peel up)
- hand crafted and painted skateboard topper with LED light strip
- sorry not pictured is a few stickers I put on it - saying "please skateboard here" and "no wimps"
- sorry not pictured is all the little unique skateboards I have rounded up over the year from various places and sales--- they are not the playfield yet -- MAYBE one day WHEN I HAVE SPARE TIME! HA
this pin just deserves the love!

Bitchin!!
I recently found a stash of some of my old boards: Santa Cruz Slasher, Schmitt Stix Lucero, and a Powell-Peralta Tony Hawk Mini. None of em are in good shape, but will someday be hanging on the wall.
Cool lighting, I have those ufo lights on my bop.
What did you use exactly to flame polish your ramps?
Man I want one of these. I've got a Dr Dude which has a similar kickass 80s vibe that I love to bits. I've played Radical a couple of times and the combos on this game are a lot of fun. Combos are my favourite things to do in pinball so Radical is right up my alley.

What did you do to get your under cab lighting to interact that way?
