Weight Problem??

[mikejl29]

I have this setup:

Deck: Black Label Green Gagne
Trucks: Destructo 5.0 (Black Base)
Wheels: Black Label 54mm

My board weighs a lot more than most of my friends boards and I think its stopping me from getting some of the height and flip tricks that I want to do. I kinda new, like I can ollie, pop shuv it, 50-50, boardslide, but i have to work pretty hard and getting the tricks all the time. Can anyone suggest what I should get to lighten the load a bit.

Well, these are my top choices:

AWS(Alien Workshop)

Pop:8/10
Duribility:10/10


Blind

Pop:9/10
Duribility:4/10

Both those boards have concave. Some good decks with out concave are:

Chocalote:

Pop:8/10
Duribility:9/10

Habitat( The ones I've seen made have all not had concave)

Pop:8/10
Duribility:9/10

Hope this helped mikejl29:D

Also keep in mind the weight of your trucks, because that usually is a key factor in weight problems.Because your board can be light but your trucks are heavy.

Also, these are not the only one's, these are just one's I've previously used/owned.Some ohter's that i have good reviews on are Shortys, Zero, and a few more.

Have fun:D

Them dumb Wisconsin people :rolleyes:

[mikejl29]

Some people are dumb... and the heavy setup was hurting my skating incase you care big_hair_pimpin. It turned out that the deck had been left in my garage through the spring causing loads of heat to make the layers of the board seperate and then with a sudden rain and cold freeze the water absorbed... causing the board to be seriously waterlogged. It was a big thick deck aswell which increased the weight. I still have the trucks but the board has been retired.

[willchair]

i'd go with featherlight ventures if you're worried about how much they weigh... pretty light trucks right there. drop a couple millimeters on your wheels too ... try some 51's.

[big_hair_pimpin]

well waterlogged and heavy are two entirely diff things boy. waterlogged ****s up your shape, pop, concave, and flex. a heavy board still got that shit.
