Phoenix Cooper Klaar XL 24x26 or Source bars 24x26? I'm in need of some higher bars!

source are heavy but really strong, either are good just go with something you feel more comfortable with

lindworm, awakening, lambda 3.1, addict mckeen, or a v2i? If this helps I ride a lot of rails, stairs, boxes, gaps, and do a lot of whips, mannys and grinds.

Ive ridden (not owend) all these decks other than lambda and I liked the awakening most. Its got a really similar feel to the lindworm but its boxed so youll be able to do 50-50s and stuff. The length is really good being 21.25 long it has more pop making high hops easier, youll have more foot room and youll have a bigger balance point on manuals, but its not too long that it will feel weird transitioning from a shorter deck.
v2is are really good if you dont wanna spend alot but imo they dont feel quite as nice as the flavor or ethic.

Its really preference but imo the awakening is best second to that id say the lindworm

 

[Bror Svensson]

anyone know the wheelbase of a lindworm and a flavor awakening?

awakening or lindworm, lindworm is by far my favorite deck it takes like a week to get used to but after that it is amazing; ive ridden a flavor before and they're pretty good also, ive owned an addict and i liked how it whipped but its horrible for rails; and v2i's grind down to fast, i'd say either a flavor or a lindworm

it doesn't matter for proto or tilt they're both good companies and they won't let you down

 

[thealexbuffery]

tilt = 6mm bolts

proto = 5mm bolts (i think)

alright thanks. Anyone have any info on the district helmeri fork? was looking into it but don't wanna waste money if it's not good

 

[parrish]

I'd just get a tilt if you're looking to buy a new one. Most reliable, you don't have to fuck with a starnut or cutting it or anything.

 

[zach poon]

new addict or new ethic? when they come out

new addict or new ethic? when they come out

should probably wait for them to come out so we know the specs and that

right now we dont really know anything except what they look like haha

haha well the specs on the new ethics were released awhile ago

 

[BenJelinek]

well you cant really make a decision until the decks are released anyway.

but from the looks and my gut feeling i would say the blacksmith is going to be the best out of the ethic and the 2 models that addict is releasing.

Don't have enough money for one. I'm probably just gonna end up getting a vertX

 

[parrish]

Vertx Vmax lasted me two years.

 

[matthauver]

So then what should I go with? I need a new fork soon
