AHHHHHHHHHHH... finally got to light the fuse properly with the Supe 172 and Cartels yesterday... HOLY SHIT that board BURNS compared to the Yukon.... no need for a wide board, size 13 feet or not... so snappy, I never had so much ease going from huge hill-wide turns to snappy surf-like tight turns without losing any speed at all... and now that I finally got the stance set right, 27 front and 12 back, damn... those Cartels are way better for tucking straight, stiff enough to respond super quick to my 250 lbs going 80km/hr, yet flexible enough to tuck in a similar position as in downhill skateboarding... i'm stoked about my new setup!
