The new Kebbeks aren't out yet. There's a lengthy thread on the subject that has nearly erupted into a flame war.

yea

wait so a loaded board wouldnt be good to start off with?

**guitarchick2182** · 09-25-2009 05:08 PM

all loaded boards are super flexy not exactly ideal for dh.

Just got an Insane Asylum Morph dh board. If you want speed without the wobble, they have what you need. Their truck design works just like a car. They are called Veloz X5. Check em out. Insane Asylum Longboards

Unless you're not a fan of turning, 0* rear trucks only work for DH if you already know how to skate some DH.
I wouldn't tell someone that any setup is wobble-free, either.
Just some unsolicited advice.

From landyachtz i recommend the switch or the dropspeed, perfect newbie boards! and they will last you a bit!

I'm starting to love my switch!

Just make sure if you are running Grizzly's to switch out the pumpkin bushings to sabre, venoms or reflexes soo much more respons from trucks ( I just swapped out my pair of grizzlys for kaha's with red venoms and a fat riser suuuch a good board feel's like a topmount but is as stable as a dropped board

)

It is possible to DH on a flex 1 dervish but you have to b really good and brave. I like the landyachtz drop speed owl

Pumpkins are bushings made out of cheese :P Venoms are the best but otherwise Khiro's are stable as hell.

Hey, notredamedavid what would you recommend on the drop speed owl? thanks!

**xjweezyx** · 10-07-2009 05:18 PM

is 11 inches too wide for a dh board? im cutting a board to a dh shape and its already 11inches. it would save a lot of time to keep it 11 inches. will it being that wide make it harder to corner and get let less leverage. i have a size 9.5 ish foot. i need advice asap cuz im cutting it tomorow.

**Bookworm** · 10-07-2009 05:40 PM

evo on crails, super duper stable.

It's all what you like. If I were you I would keep it at 11 and ride it some. If you don't like that cut it down to 10. If you don't like that cut it down to 9.5. So on and so fourth.
