    Default Freeride and Mellow DH board.

    This is really a tough decision!! I've been riding my Sector 9 Bingin (now the Ours I beleive) for about 6 months on the stock Gullwing M1 trucks, with O'tang Fat Frees and Reds. I like "bombing" some mellow hills (45 or 50 km/h mabey?) but I get wobbles pretty fierce. I have it set to carve and to learn to slide but I want a board that can carve, slide and be a bit more stable at speeds. I've looked at the Drop Speed, Drop wedge, Nemesis, Kebbek Hairpin, and so on. I'm thinking about the Hairpin because it's got a tight wheelbase and seems a bit better quality than the landyachtz drop boards. The other one that looks nice is the Nemesis but i heard they crack easily and I think i'll be doing a bit of crashing. Any Ideas?

    you can't go wrong with the nemesis... I have never heard of them cracking easily, but if your worried you could get a bombsqaud noseguard

    Do you know How the Nemesis would compare to the Kebbek Hairpin or the Landyachtz Drop Speed for carviness and slidiness?

    I haven't ridden either of those, but the drop makes it awesome for standup slides, The carvyness is more dependent on the trucks and bushings (crails and Paris are my favorites with reflex bushings)
