the shortsnouted twofish

serra carvei - Last week, I rode the twofish with freebord trucks as I originally intended, and found that it did not work out. The stance you had to adopt was too far from the trucks, resulting in an increased leverage opposing your turns. Apparently you really have to stand between the center wheel and the edges on a freebord.

Lesson learned. I therefore decided (with a bleeding heart) to trim the nose and the tail of this board. I already knew that, with the original trucks, the board would be turny. However, my current setup really made this a carve machine. Original S10 trucks, 85mm black kryptonics and a flex that is just right and this thing has become a real joyride.

I’m pretty sure that this board will become my favourite commuter.
