    just tighten up ur back truck slightly (half turn or so) and this forces ur back wheel into the ground n it get more grip!

    Its how all the slalom guy get more grip!!

    or learn to control the slide, and then use it to ur advantage to control ur speed better,

    tightening your back truck wont really give you grip. If you tighten to much your wheels are more likely to come off the ground. You can wedge your back truck to take turn out.

    i believe him. ive got a landyachts dh board, the angles on each end are slightly different, which allows the front truck to turn better than the back.
    accidently used the board the wrong way round once... ive got avalons and i thought they werent easy to slide :P . i havent made that mistake since
