DH boards

I am so clueless on what board to buy. The bustin strike looks good but i heard that the concave sucks. I like the landychatz evo, but but im not sure. Any other great boards or suggestions that you could give me would be great.

Kebbek smoothcut FTW!
But check out these companies: rayne, landyachtz, kebbek, eastside boards, fullbag, Madrid.

For a good starter du board ur best bet is eastside or rayne or la.... He'll all of them are good

And don't forget Earthwing!

you're also pretty clueless as to where things like this should be posted...

The Bustin is not a DH deck, so forget about it.

The Evo is probably the best selling downhill deck on earth, it`s low, super stable and loved by many. Buuut, it`s also hated by many, because it`s construction makes it turn less than many other boards (which can be fixed by wedged risers btw) Personally I`m not a fan, but that`s me.

I started on a Rogers Bros Asym and highly recommend it to anyone. It`s slightly dropped (5/8"), great functional shape and a smart asymmetrical concave. I really love mine, it`s a DH-machine.

True, so I moved it.

figure out what style you like dropped, dropped through, double drop, topmount and go from there. ive found that most beginners like dropped or double because they give you a feeling of more stability.

...project speedboard?

i started out on an evo and that was a really good started board for me to get the feel of speed and the mechanics of speedboarding/DH, then i moved to the rayne hellcat and fell in love with it.. its low with the right set up, turns well with the right setup, very comfortable feel all around (im talking about the older hellcats, not the newest ones)
