    The length and wheelbase dimensions look fine, and the kick tail helps... but it is flat. I have an Insect Sidewinder and a Gravity BE40 as my slideboard and the concave helps a lot.

    Update: I don't know why, but for some reason when I read the product description I thought it was a flat deck. I think that board (or any of the Gravity 36-40" boards he has for auction) would be a pretty good deck

    just remember, you can slide any board. some decks may be harder than others, but you can always slide them. ive slid everything from 28" to 60"

    Default slider boards

    I would opt for the jesse parker pro model (8.5x38x18.5wb) I just got that deck and set it up with angled riser, indy 169's and abec11 no skool 60/96a's. Only thing i would have done differently is maybe only gotten a 90/92ish wheel rather than the 96's. They break away really quickly which is nice, but a little quicker than i'd like. definately love concave for sliding though.

    p.s. learned surrender slides on that!
