good board that is stiff for EASY pushing, and for dh?

[wake]

Hey I'm looking for a good board that is stiff, is very easy to push, pretty easy to slide, and is a good dh board. I have a loaded dervish, but I'm thinking about selling it because I really don't like the flex. The flex makes the board very unstable at speed compared to my s9 padang. My s9 padang it is topmount so it feels like pushing off a skyscraper compared to the dervish. Since the easiest boards to push are dropthroughs or dropdecks, and dropdecks and dropthroughs are easy to slide, I'm thinking about a Rayne Hellcat. It seems to fit all my needs. Its stiff, dropthrough, and its good for dh (I've heard). I can get the Hellcat for $120 from my local skate shop.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or agree with my post?

Thanks,
Joe

Whatever board you choose I would stick with a drop-through. I have a kebbek caftern as well as a dervish and a homemade drop-through speedboard. The dropthrough board is my favorite hands down for standup slides. I have it with radiused 81a gumballs and randals w/ 50* plates. If I'm doing more dh it put a 35* plate on the back but as is it's my favorite garage board.

DOO IITTT!!!

heres mine just with paris and a c7 plate

alright thanks. now i just gotta sell my dervish for $120. its 1 month old, has very little scratches on the bottom (middle, from it bottoming out), and some very minor nose damage from it hitting curbs sometimes when I slide it.

how do you radius gumballs?

how do you radius gumballs?

On a lathe

A lathe or a drill press works, otherwise you can just take a belt sander at the edges and round it off while it's still on your axle. If you do it like this you just need to make sure to hold it at the proper angle to keep the wheel spinning while it shaves them down.

On the asphalt.

think about a dh race maybe? even easyier to push and stand up slides are reaaallly easy only real problem well i guess it could be a good thing to some people is that it is a driffter

i need a lightweight board too, so i dont think that would work.

Would chargers work fine on a hellcat?

$120 for the complete set? What flex/what gear does it have on it? I might be interested.

This has Evo all over it.

no 120 for the deck and a khiro bushing kit. im keeping the chargers and bigzigs.

is that price too high? (btw im only selling it locally.)

yes but the evo's heavy.

i will invade this thread as well i guess. kracked skulls m1 40". will be average weight, low, and w/ the 70mm 81a flashbacks be easy nuff to slide after its broken in. mine does basically everything you just said
