Beginner DH decks and trucks

Actually...If you're completely new to speedboarding...stiffness is good. A slightly flexy board will allow a little more snap and feel in corners (I prefer having a little bit of flex) but a very stiff board is much more stable and easy to handle.

For DH, stiffness is better.

I said a total newbie to longboarding, not speedboarding. Someone who has decided that they want o learn to longboard fast, and has just started, might want an easier board, as 30mph* will most likely be a top speed. Then, they can move their more comforable oard to a cruising deck, and get a dedicated speed board. At least that is my view. (coming out of a person riding a fibreflex pintail

)

*when you live in gainesville florida, 30mph is a top speed for most places. you just gotta look forward to that trip to the appalachians...

I've never really owned a flexy board, I like stiffness.

I think it says on th paris website that the 180's are at 40*.

SteveC · 10-28-2007, 05:13 PM

It says that the kingpin is 40º...
90º - 40º = 50º pivot angle.
