DH race wedging

[ConnorH]

I have heard crap about how the DH race does not turn very much. I was wondering could wedging the front truck make the turning radius better? also what angle wedge would you reccomend to increase the turning, but not throw away the stability?

Using what trucks?

o right now i will set it up with bears with white jimz set up wtih 76mm wheels.

suggestions?

[ConnorH]

anybody got an answer for me?

My DH turns just fine with Bears. Not as well as say, an Avenger, but you got what you payed for (which is a 3 inch drop). If you bought this board for turning, you didn't do your research.

i didn't buy this board at all it is from a trade. I know that it wasn't meant for turning and i know that all dropped board will not be as responsive as topmounts, but i was just wondering if there was any simple solutions on gettnig the board to turn more.

no wedging needed

bears at the 55* and bigger then a 70mm wheel.
it turns like a mo fo!
leave the angels be....flip both your bear trucks to the 45* for downhill.
trust me i have been riding this deck (the exact deck we speak of to be precise) for 2.5 years.
if u would like to get a better board i REALLY suggest getting this
used Kebbek Flushcut, deck only. - Silverfish Longboarding - The Longboard Skateboarding Community
i would have gotten it had i not ordered my new deck.
the jimz flushie is smaller then most kebbeks and is only a bit wider then the DHrace.
Either way im cool....i just want to see u on a board ur gonna like....

I Know i was drolling over that deck earlier, love the graphic. Right now i am super tight on cash right now, as i only have a meager 25 dollars which will go to some bigzigs or superball and all the cash i get in the future will go to lift tickets . Hopefully i will have some cash left over from working with my dad and i can get a new one of those. I am even more eyeing the kebbek bassi or smoothcut. Or even the subsonic barrage. man i wish i was rich
