Experimental speedboarding stance

[maddogalva]

I decided to try out some new speedboarding stances and this was the one that worked best.
All the guys I ride with thought it was funny and would never work, but they weren't making fun of me when I felw past them.
Here's a quick video I made. I know I'm only going like 25mph but it shows you how I do it.
I feel like the air flows more smoothly over your body this was, the only thing that blocks the air a little is the angle of the helmet.

Umm... nice idea I guess but still... there's no way it's more aero than a good regular style tuck. You're entire body is still exposed to the wind. In a regular tuck (a good one) only the shoulders, head and the legs break the wind. ALso, how fast have you gone with this tuck? There's no way that it can be stable with your center of gravity being so high and also so much weight towards the rear of the board. I'm sorry man I just don't see how it can be advantageous over the conventional tuck already in existance.

You can't even see where you're going either which is one of the biggest drawbacks.\

EDIT: Please turn your board around... it's backwards. It will perform much better when it is facing the way it was built to face.

People keep telling me to turn the board around because of the wedgers, but then landyachtz griptape would be backwards and mess me up even more than wedgers

If k-rimes tells you it's wrong, then will you listen?

Air is also flowing up and into your helmet and it's acting as a parachute.

If this tuck was amazing, I am sure others would be using it.

Who care's abotu the grip. If you're really that concerned about it... then regrip it. The wedging is there for better turning in the front and more stability in the back. Trust me and everyone else that has already told you to do so. Turn it around.

backwards griptape messes you up?

[mcgoon]

You should fap it a little before heading downhill. A boner would make you more aero.

I just tried it out in a little wind unnel we made and I think the new tuck is better than the traditional one.
I know its not as good as a real wind tunnel but I think it still works.

youre not doing a standard tuck in that, your barely leaning over

i cant stop laughing.

this is what happens when you od on acid twice a day for life

I especially enjoy the part where you fall off the non-moving board in your experimental tuck. Your regular tuck sucks.....bad.
