Your Cruising/Carving Setup

[JY Jelly]

I thought since there was a "Your DH Setup" there should be one for crusing and carving. I'll start it out with my Dervish.

how do you like your gumballs for cruising? cause i was thinking about getting some for my LY Spud.

[JY Jelly]

I like them a lot, they slide really smooth when broken in.

[sly_]

nice, but how do they stick to the ground? like traction wise?

[JY Jelly]

They are very grippy in the lower duros, the 78s are perfect imo even though i haven't tried any of the other duros.

k thanks! oh and my set up is a LY Spud with Pairs 180mm and hopefully gumballs

I love her, she's great and oh so smooth. I'm getting a Bustin Spliff here soon too to take with me to school when I don't want to drag my 47" pintail around. hehe

Nice, as close to a vanguard shape as your going to get. How is the flex on it?

its very flexible which took me a while to get used to but i like it heres a few flex shots, im about 175lb. im working on a new one without a waist and with some concave for a bit less flex, and im considering making it a drop through

i would go for the dropthru, with that same shape it seems like that would be very nice
