Default Re: Deck tapering affecting truck width?

I can't think of too many pin tails where the rear wheels don't protrude. I suppose it's mostly dependent on where the rear truck is mounted. The flex in a pintail is often centered rear of center, that flex effectively wedges the rear truck during a hard carve, so the less leverage you have over the rear truck is balanced .
