Hi All,
I’ve just found this web site and thought I’d say hi.
I’ve been skating on and off since the late/mid 80’s. Lately I’ve been carving in my street with my old Powell “Sidewalk Surfboard”. Anyway I thought I’d go all out and get a new deck, so I’ve bought a 46” Pintail (Vault). Thought it would be a bit different to my other longbrd as the truck position in way out at the end of the deck (no real kick). The sidewalk surfboard still has a good sized kick… like a normal deck. So should be fun to carve on.
Anyway… not sure if this is the section for me/my new brd or not but it’s a starting point. I wanted to know what the story is with trucks for this kind of deck. I’m planning on using my old Indy trucks but have noticed that some brds seem to have risers that are thicker at one end than the other. Seems like it’s designed to change the angle of the turn…any info would be good.
