Re: Beginner DH decks and trucks
kryptos and fu-manchus are side set. and blue kryptos are 81a, green i think are 78, clear 80a dunno about the others.
oh yeah, you might want to consider cutting down the list a little, i mean if you were a complete noob all that info might be a bit overwhelming.

Re: Beginner DH decks and trucks
Randall r2's dont change poviot angle when flipped the axle simply resides behind the axis of poviot causing a need for more leverage in order to turn the truck, hense more stable

Re: Beginner DH decks and trucks
Couple of boards on that list that are not less than $150 and would not be good recommendations for guys just starting out. Namely anything with carbon or foam in it. If you're a beginner...stick with an all wood deck.

I took a bad fall on 5/24/2008 at Mt. Baker, went off the road and fell down the side of the mountain. I went into a coma, badly broke my pelvis, lacerated my liver and almost died on the mountain AND later in the hospital. The rehabilitation therapists had to teach me how to do everything again...everything.
I survived that mountain because of my helmet...WEAR ONE and send your family to the hospital, not the morgue.

I will let people discuss it further and edit it depending on the general consensus is.
Thank you, the actual pivot angel doesnt mean a hoot, its the steering angle. So you are changing the angle by flipping it because everyone cares about the steering angle, not the pivot angle.

What? They're exactly the same thing.
Flipped and un-flipped randals have the same turn radius at the same board lean angle.
What changes is how much force is required to get the board there.
(well, a board with flipped hangers has about a cm less wb so practically the same anyway)

Re: Beginner DH decks and trucks
Great list, this is gonna help me a lot when I'm choosing my first deck. You could always add good bushings or combinations for different weights.

Re: Beginner DH decks and trucks
i already think that there is a bushing list out here somewhere..
oh and how about how different angled riser options that can effect the stability/turning of the board?
