How much does your K.S board flex? Some ppl say there very flexie, some say there stiff, and mine is kind of in the middle, I'm just wondering if all the K.S boards are all made the same..

I've felt difference in flex between different KS. It is definitely some personal opinion and weight issues for how flexy they are, but I've felt quite different flex in different 46" KS decks.

its no more flexier than my 4 but if you can walk it you can walk anything.

the flex is great in the corners though

I think each deck is slightly diffrent in the amount of flex it has.. But I wasn't sure.. That's why I asked..

The KS boards are pretty nice boards, I wonder if lighter riders can use this board as a somewhat downhill board? Because heavier riders would have to much flex on the board.

I just got my M1 46' a few days ago, it's a pretty fun board, but i've been getting some wheelbite with all the stock gear on it. Is anyone else having this problem, or any solutions? I'm not big on getting smaller wheels, 70mm is perfect for commuting.

I'm a pretty light rider at 125 and the m1 has gotten me up to around 35 but becomes less and less stable afterwards with major speed wobbles when i hit around 40. only thing ive changed on it is flipping the hangars on the rlls.

Yeah I agree.. The board is super stable around 30-mph. But after that, it gets a bit to wobbly and the flex in the deck becomes a problem.. Its a commuter board.. Like a daily cruiser..

Not as good for bombing but excellent for speedy carving. Well depending on your bushings you could be stable on a KS at over 30 don't cha think?

it flexes a lot IMO. which is good if you want it but not good for DH.
