    Default an ideal sliding deck

    hey guys. I am new here and i realise there is a search function, but with all the new stuff coming out all the time and new guys like myself registering i figured it would be good to make a new thread.

    I am getting sick of my little Landyachtz ripper. Its too flexy for sliding and bowl usage.
    What type of deck do you guys reccomend? something nice and stiff i imagine? Kicktale? concave? kicked up nose?

    how about trucks? I am used to the kingpin style of randals and gullwings but an starting to feel that the gullwings are too tall.
    As far as wheels i have been well informed by the wheel section on the site!

    Alright, enough of me. Throw whatever input you have into this!

    any deck that affords you a shoulder width stance

    a double kick would help too
    The sage, Longboard Buddha once said, "A tree spends 100% of its lifetime in a static environment and only after its reincarnation as a deck is it allowed to move at fast speeds...
    when allowed, the wood will give thankless service if
    allowed to flow."
