Looking for the smoothest ride possible

[sam4481]

I live in a beach town with a nice board walk and i'm looking for a good cruising board, i just want the smoothest ride possible with a decent carve, price isnt really an issure. Im 6'1 and around 200 pounds but i dont want a huge board, i'm thinking around 44 or less. i really appreciate any help

Welcome to the fish!

A smooth ride means taller wheels with a smaller core (more urethane depth)

Flex 2 vanguard with tracker fastracks, soft blue bushings, 1/4 inch soft shock pad and 72a purple skunk avilas. High quality aftermaket shoe insoles.

That sounds good.. but i'd opt for a G&S pintail for the deck

welcome to the fish.

if you want a smooth ride you want something fairly flexy to absorb cracks in the sidewalks and bumps, look into a G&S pintail like ogre said, a flexdex, or a kracked skulls

either way, my recomended setup is randal RII 180's, bigzigs, biltins, and a shock pad

yeah for wheels the 72 a avilas would be super smooth. but i think you wouldnt be satisfied with the speed. theyre really, really slow. my vote goes for some 75a gumballs. ooh.

Here's your answer: Landyachtz Wedge-Flex

I'll throw in a rec for Earthwing Superballs 76mm for your wheels. I've got them on my Superglider and they roll over just about anything.

Click the link quick!! This is a great deal for a cruise for a big guy.. If Mark will put soft wheels on it(He didn't list the duro) But that is a sweet deal and a sweet ride

[Hot Wheels]

You want smooth, go for the 75A Gumballs = plush city

I recommend abec biltins bearings. Super quiet and smooth. Bones reds with spacers are pretty smooth IMO too if you have the axle nuts firm but not tight.

what about a REALLY long board like a platy or OSD?

as long as its flexy with big wheels why not

[turbovince]

My quiver is ridingly verrrrry smoothly and there is lots of cracks here:

Earthwing Supercharger 44", Lime BigZigs (75mm 78a), Bones reds bearings

I would go with the landyachtz mentioned above with the lowest duro wheels.

like these!!:

3dm Avila 75mm 72a

earthwing wheels have a very, very smooth ride. thats what theyre made for. they are very soft and are a fair enough size.
my input:
Never summe heist
randal 42 degree trucks
earthwing freeriders
biltins
85a supervarves

very low and soft wheels plus very turny. soft ride
perfect boardwalker

Santa Cruz OJ3's Hot Juice Wheels 60mm around 78a. I think but these are great wheels and not to costly. Look on Ebay.

the foam astro deck type top that fluid uses
really softens the vibrations

do not over tighten baseplates
