heist too flexy for 185 lbs?
im looking to buy the heist as my first board, but i dont know if the flex will hold me. im 185 lbs, and i want to know if i'll have problems with it bottoming out under average stress, including hard carving.

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. The flex is snappy not saggy from what I hear.

I have one, but I am much lighter than you (108 lbs). It will be fine for your weight as long as you don't plan on going upwards of 25-30 mph.

I weigh 190lbs and rode a used up demo from Muir Skates and not only did it hold up my weight but it's still snappy even after all that demo abuse.
