Is the Apex 37...

**Flexible Sloth** · 09-20-2009 01:29 PM

as flexy as a Loaded or more? That's what the site says, and I hear great great things about this board. I'd be happy to get one if it is, due to the fact that you can get better parts for less than a dervish. Here's the setup I was thinking of and I mainly ride flats. Any recommendations on changing the trucks to fit the wheels or vice versa?

Longboard Trucks: Original S10 250mm Trucks
Longboard Wheels: 3dm Avila 75mm 77a (White) [Would Speed Vents be better?]
Longboard Bearings: Abec 3 Speed Lubed
Board Size: Middleweight

I would go with their 200mm trucks instead since you'll mainly be using it on flats. 250mm is a little overkill for me, but thats just my preference.

Oh, right. For some reason I was thinking 250mm would let me turn better. Pretend I said 150mm instead of that; would that be good since I usually won't be going above 20mph?

I've never been on their 150's but I'm pretty sure it would be good for pumping on the flats. I have their 200mm and you can pump them forever, but thats all I use them for. And thats why i dont really care for Originals that much, because you can only really carve, pump, and cruise on them. But if thats all you plan on doing on this board, you wont have a problem with their 150mm or 200mm trucks.

Yeah, I know, I'm reluctant to post all these threads, but I can't really find people who usually are in the same situation as me.
I'm trying to cut down, though, hehe.

For the flex, it mainly depends on which flex you get for the apex 37. Since you are getting the middleweight, it has good flex but the dervish still has a bit more. For your setup, I would recommend getting the S8 200mm trucks. It will give you a bit more versatility than the S10's. I would recommend getting BigZigs for wheels but it is up to you.
