    Default Hypercarve?

    First of all, sorry if this is already covered in a thread, if it is you can link me.... would a hypercarve with hard wheels be a good sliding setup?

    Not really, but you can slide anything. I tend to think the longer the board, the cooler the slide. My formula for sliding coolness is:

    Coolness of slide on a scale of 1-10 + Length of your board = Slide coolness.

    The hypercarve is a bit too long to be a nice, efficient trick sliding setup. Go with something like a Lib Tech Longboard.

    The lib techs are very nice if you can find them. I haven't seen many around lately. A 36-40" board is perfect for sliding.

    they are reproducing the Lib Tech Koi in a very small quantity, my favorite deck and soon I will have another one!
    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."
