Generally speaking any board you just wanna use to get around should have a kick tail, its definitely not necessary but you won't regret it, double drop decks are good for long distance pumping but aren't as good at zipping through people, you'd want something with topmounting

I ve been boarding since a while, on flat next to the beaches mainly and love that speed feel (i have a double tail cruiser) and a few months ago i was passed by a guy who were like going like 30kph ON FLAT. I think it was a pintail but i still search ways to improve speed, tips welcome

@dustmemory9891 2 жыл бұрын

Bigger wheels (70mm and up) with soft duro ratings (85 and lower) and quality bearings (zealous bearings get lots of praise on reddit, I find the jehunion bearings from loaded to be pretty good) should get you going faster. For reference, I was able to get up to about 10-13 mph on a dinghy (28 inch cruiser with 14.5 inch wheel base) using plow king wheels (72mm with 78a durometer rating) on flat but pretty bumpy ground as a fairly noobish skater. Basically, bigger wheels take more effort to get moving but have higher top speeds and stay rolling for a longer time. Just watch out for wheel bite, u might need to add risers.

Grab the Switchblade. the Evos drops are in different angles so the rear truck does stear less which is helpfull at higher speed...but it is the hell when it comes to ride switch. This makes the Evo very specific for racing. and YES, the EVO is heavy. I sold mine again a few weeks later.The switchblade is "the" allround board for me. You can slide, cruise, pump, race. I got myself the 38 and since then my other board do not leave my trunk anymore. The 40" was too large for me. But make sure you use better trucks (>= Bears) and a few sets of wheels for the different situations. I really like the Orangatang 4 President for going fast and the Hawg Zombies for sliding.
