The biggest difference would be the trucks, a lot of the riders use trucks like Ronin or Robot Oblivion which use a split angle. The front trucks turn a lot while the rear provides a lot of lean without turning. The term these days is called downhill slalom trucks as most riders ride slalom trucks that are built for downhill skating. If your looking for a more affordable option calibre have just started to offer precision trucks that provide these options. You’re going to want to look for a high angle at the front with a low angle in the rear. As for wheels they use magnums from venom. They are often 78mm. The length of the board definitely makes things more stable but stiffness makes a difference, when it’s flexi you don’t feel when the board begins to twitch but when it’s stiff you can control the twitches. A lot of info but there’s so many variables that you’ll discover as you ride more. Keep shredding 🤙
@@oneeyedpupproductions2821 Super response, thank you i'm sadly going into winter now, so i will be looking for the ideal days... and I have a wife and 2 kids :D life on the board has become less and less -- and when it's hot I don't want to dress up :/ my city's always windy; :/ but i love LDP for fitness, more than hill bombing, once I push I just go, I've got 97mm wheels from evo longboards - the road wheels; with wide caliber 2 trucks :? Never get wheel bite thanks to them, but the deck is the rayne nemesis :? from like 2010/2013 era; :) so it's very nice and thick- and stiff, but perhaps I need to tighten my trucks a bit more :? that's the only thing i have not covered; I love silicon lubricant for my bearings :D
