Beginner DH decks and trucks

[Blix]

haha, awesome, thanks for the help man

now i just need my mom to let me take a bit of money from my bank account

Sounds awesome! You might consider some good bushings for those trucks though, the stock Randals bushings aren`t much fun IMO. Venom barrels is win in the Randals.

If you are looking at DH-boards, why are you looking at the Flexdex L37? It`s no DH-deck by any means. Yes it would probably be good for carving, sliding and stuff, but for DH, no.

IME speedy lunatics wear out fast and get junk in them quickly. get Reds or MHS bearings or some black panthers.

refer to the first post of the thread

question on bearing spacers:
I read somewhere that you can tighten the wheel till you can't anymore and then just go ride it. Aparently this will help your bearings align and they'll spin better without getting all "wobbley". is this true?

yes just make sure you have bearing spacers, think about it for a min how the speed washers, bearings and spacer would go together on the axle and you will understand, if you don't, fail

[SteezCat]

Well i think if you want a good board for dh then your gonna have to spend alot of money. So the cheapest are probaly landyatchzs

did you check the reviews?

[Pickles232]

did you check the reviews?

Yes I did, but the model in the review section is the older model, the model i'm talking about is the 2009 version, supposedly its a lot better for DH and its also shorter.

Earthwing Decks and Completes

Just trying to find any first hand reviews, this board looks really promising.

steve c. :i think he did this for decks under $150 bucks. Just FYI

Green: im pretty sure it dosent change the angle. and if it does it dosent change it 10 degrees. (randal baseplates are 50* not 55*)

EFG: maybe add a list of wheels that are good for DH. that would be cool aswell.

woah woah the evo and demon seed are way over 150$$$$$
