    Question Dropwedge & Holeys

    Ok I've used the search tools and can't find any info on this so...
    I've just ordered a Landyachtz Dropwedge and would like to know
    if anyone has tried Holeys on one? if so whats the verdict ? I'd just
    like to add that it'll be used for mainly freeride,carving type stuff not
    balls out downhill
    Thanks.

    I don't think they will fit the new ones.

    even if it did fit, holeys arent really necessary on that board since its got the wedge on the front is make the front truck a ridiculous angle since i think holeys are 60* as it is

    Holeys will fit, unless Landy has changed their cutouts recently.
    Although, like Brain Smoothie said, you'll have much reduced leverage over the front truck at 67-70 degrees (depending on your weight, bushings, etc).
    For carving on that thing, I'd probably go with Indy 215s, Tracker 184s, Grizzlies- either 40 or 52 degree would be fine, or Randals- either 42 or 50 degree.
    Out of all those, I think the Randal 42s, Bear 40s, or Tracker 184s would work the best with the wedged front end.
    You could also try Crails or Sabres, they're set at 45 degrees. Though I've never tried the Sabres.

    Thanks for the advice,the reason I asked about Holeys was that there was a pair that wasn't being used,I found that they were very very turny and lots of fun but a little too easy to oversteer going into a corner(if that makes any sense),so they're on my pintail now and I have sabres on the Dropwedge now with stock bushings and they seem to work very well .
