How do I avoid speed wobbles?
I begin to feel then at about 15mph
and my trucks are loose enough to make a u-turn around a normal sized 2-way road.
This happens even if I carve.
PLEASE HELP!

that board isn't built for speed, that being said, if you want to use it for some light downhill here's some tips to avoid speed wobbles
keep most of your weight on your front foot, and bend your knees
also it may help to pick up some harder bushings
are you using double barrels?
