    Default New Topmount

    Hey guys, I'm shopping for a new topmount but I'm sooooo confused as to what I should buy. I mostly cruise around but I do hit some decent sized hills in the area as well as parking garages.

    So I'm looking for something with concave, a tiny bit of flex to make pushing easier but not to make it unstable for bombs, has to be topmount, and is about 200$ for a complete.

    A board that's really piqued my interest is the EW Superglider but I've read that it doesn't like big trucks/wheels and I'm planning on mounting some 180 Paris or Randals and at least 70 mm wheels on pretty much whatever deck I get. Would this not be a good pairing with the Superglider?

    Would love to hear some suggestions for other topmounts.

    For 200 dollars on a complete you can get this with proper trucks:

    Especially with those Sabre bushings.. I swear, Mark must have ordered about ten thousand of them or something, they're in every complete he sells now >_>

    I want that deck. Oh also Sundae Skates has the 08 Avenger on sale for $100 so a complete would be about $200.

    I mounted Randal 150s on my EW SG when I first got it because I didn't get my Indy Hybrids yet. The ride was fun but after putting the hybrids on, even with a 1/4 riser, the randal setup felt like the board was a monster truck.
