is it possible

is it possible to do dancing tricks and stuff on a Evo?
I'm thinking maybe, because its a fairly good sized board, and i was just thinking about getting it for DH, and sliding and such, but i like to dance to.
And if its not i'll just get a drop speed board.

you can.

but it sucks

your heels scrape the ground when you cross step, and you cant get a manual going for shiiit

get a drop speed

drop carve
i emailed landyachtz about this subject and they said the drop carve is the best for manuals and dancing while still being a good downhill carve board

The Evo is a dh board, its not meant for manauls...

If you want to do manuals then get a dervish or some other loaded.

If you wanna get serious, get a landy or rayne

is the landy drop carve have good flex, like say a dervish does?
okay cuz these are the boards im thinking about right now

Landy drop carve
Rayne Hustler (Maybe hellcat also)
Bustin Striker

cuz flex is also important

A crazy kid at the last race I attended was g-turning and nose manualing his evo. I saw it. It was f*cking crazy.

I nose manual my kebbek caften all the time. Once you get it up you have to weight the front a lot but it's not that hard. manuals are easier because it has a flat back.

...wut?

loadeds arnt the best for dancing tricks actually. having a kicktail/nose helps to do manuals. loadeds have short ones (except the dancer, the dancer is actually primo) making maunals harder.

get serious? wtf are you talking about? if he seriously wants to dance landys or rayne would blow for that.

The Drop Carve is "medium/stiff" on DBS
The Hustler is "stiff"

hey man, if you're not set on a board yet..check out comet's fsm..great for mild dh, and dancing, and cruising, and sliding.

the idea that Loadeds, with their nubby kicks, would be "better" for manuals is just so far out in left feild i don't even know where to start.

If you want a dancer, get a dancer. If you want a cruising board, get one of those.

If you want a "jack of all trades" sorta thing, without breaking the bank, most of S9 or Gravity's longer decks would fit the bill quite nicely.
