    why does everything work so much differently then for most longboarders? exkates have a far superior turning ability than randals, they come up just short of originals, and are wheelbite proof for wheels up to around the 70mm range, i dunno whats goin on with your setups, but u must be in a weird funk where everything is odd

    i get wheelbite with 68mm avalons on a board with wheelwells. and yes with a broken turn limiter the trucks will turn better than with a normal one. its much worth it not getting wheelbite and being flung onto your face.

    that's weird. i run avilas on my exkate 201s and i get no bite on my lbl. i'm only running the shock pad. the lbl has wells and mild concave, the concave may be what's making the difference for me.

    Exkates, Revenge, Baku....ALL way more turny than any Randal on the planet.

    (I only listed those three because of their interrelation, but we could add Original, Gus, etc...)

    i finally realized what it is. the exkates were on my loaded so i was getting lots of power into the back trucks making the wheels slide. so i threw them on my sector 9 pintail which dosen't have as much levrage on the back so it was an awesome ride.
