Flex or a Stiffy?

Bladerunner - 20-8-2011 at 09:14 AM

I see the talk on the Trampa and chopping it to make it less stiff + lighter ?

When I jump on the different boards floating around our park they are all a bit different. Almost all are much more stiff and heavy than my board? After the big heavy MBS Blade and Comp16 this thing is like a springboard!

I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted in a board . I was amazed when I seem to prefer a less than PRO model ? I was after the rust proof quality. Mine has all stainless + sealed bearings.

Has anybody really had issues with the lighter Vector trucks ? Core 95 deck breaking?

Am I once again off in my own world again? Liking a flexi board ? :puzzled:

I love flexible boards for freestyle ken, also have the stainless. No issues yet except for flat tires. Heavy stiffboards are nice for speed but you already know that

Carl's right, I asked one of the trampa owners in chat one day what the name meant- I had a good laugh when he said "trampoline!". I have no idea if this is the truth but it's what I'm running with!
