    I'm going to sound like a dick for a bit. If you're worried about the weight of your board, hit up the gym....

    All the more reason to hit up the gym. So instead of whining about how your 83a Stims don't slide, time to get your hiney off to pump some weights.

    I don't blame her to tell you the truth. I doubt a few ounces on wheel weight will cause a trickster to throw better tricks.

    The problem is the rider.

    Because if you dont shred the gnar, the gnar will shred you.

    Personal responsibility for one's choices is dead and buried, even in something as simple as a plank with four wheels.

    Does anyone know of any light weight stickers I can put on my board? Maybe Carbon Fiber stickers?

    Every pound you remove from your board, the less weight you have to displace (or the less fast you have to go) to get it to slide! :0

    Also less inertial modifier = more acceleration (with the same force applied), less momentum.

    But yeah, going faster + moar deweighting = much better results than taking 100g off of each wheel.

    Disregard my first two statements, I'm just trolling.
