    Default Flipping Randals

    I have an EW widerglider and I flipped my randals today just to see how it is and i get wheelbites in the back, i was wondering if it would be fine if only the front truck was flipped and the back is normal

    Yea i wouldnt do that. Flipped trucks are less turny and more dead. You definitely wouldnt want a board with a higher more turny back then the front. If you like the flipped feeling and werent only doing it just for height try adding some sort of riser pad to negate the wheel bite. Or use a sander to make the cutouts wider. Or use harder bushings in the back, your board would still handle very well with harder back bushings and softer fronts. Or you could also buy somewhat smaller wheels if the wheels your running are 75mm above.

    I tend to not like the feel of any trucks flipped hangers.
    I have a bunch of skateboards

    Isn't this what you're supposed to put in a signature?

    i flipped my randal 150's and its definetly a dferent feel but randals dont get speed wobbles very easy so only flip them if you fell you really have to. if you have a drop though or a drop down board you rreally shouldnt flip them but if you have a top mount it really doesnt matter
