evo vs curbs

skinner420 · 03-08-2008, 12:16 AM

anybody know any tricks to come down curbs without scratching the deck??? ive been riding an urban assault with abec11 97s and i ordered an evo and i dont wanna scratch up a brand new deck.

don't ride it. just hang it on your wall and sit there and look at it, all shiny and new.

pick up your deck, walk down, put your deck back on the road, and ride it again.

that's the best trick to keep it unscratched, especially for an evo.

Put almost literally all your weight on the very, very back of the board, it'll rise.

Grab the nose and pull up. I managed to make that work a couple times on my old UA... but I've seen other people who could do it much better and much more consistently.

Well, I got the board in December.
Ground is still covered in ice/snow, but I'll hopefully be able to answer your question around a month from now

Which decks do you want to compare?

The Evo's paint chips easily so if you don't like your deck looking worn, then that will be a problem. The baseplate of the front bear truck has saved it from many impacts.

when i bought my urban assault about a year and a half ago i almost bought the 42 inch mini carve gravity deck... i was looking for something fast that is comfortable at high speeds.. now im glad i bought the landyachtz thats y im getting the evo becuz i was a sick bomber deck... but i still kinda want the gravity just to see what it can do

lol i was just being sarcastic because he is part of team poser

you could always try sky hooks to help jump over the curbs
or you could get slip tape which helps protect the graphic on the board.
