looking for topmount/drop thu speed board

[K-SHIZZ]

Hey everybody. i've been looking around at some boards but havent really found all the info that i need.

right now i have an evo with crails and 83mm75a flywheels and its alright but doesnt handle hairpin turns so well for me. im doing about 30-50mph runs with lots of hairpin turns and lots of steep straightaways.

is there a board that would work for me that will be crazy stable at these speeds yet handle tight A$$ turns?

i was thinking avenger, revenger, or kebbek bassi. but i want to hear what you think about these boards or something else. money maximum is $400.

thanks

maybe the kebbek hairpin or switchback, they're not crazy stable but they get it done in the corners.

The avenger is also a good topmount.

hahaha, switchback. ........tristan thorpe......

you could check out dopamine or zealous.

15 Ply Zealous Felon - $85 shipped
190mm Bear Smokeys - $260 shipped
And you could get some new wheels and bearings for less than 55. And there you go. A super sick downhill setup.

just PM him and ask him about prices. he'll probably give you an honest review of a board, but he's obviously going to have some bias.
but i've heard they're good boards.
you can also check out toasted.

they make a metal board that looks awesome, but its really expensive (400ish for the deck i think?). Fortunately they also make it out of wood for less.

aight. i think i'm just gonna end up making my own. something around 40 inches with a 33 inch wheel base. nice tub concave about 9.25-9.75 inches wide. kinda like an avenger or revenger but with kebbek caften like cut outs. and it will have some crazy random paint job. set it up with some bear 1052 w/flipped hangers and venom dh bushings, and 90mm 81a flywheels or if i can find any (super unlikely) some momos. mmmmmm.... momos.....
