what deck for tall riders?
i was looking over pictures trying to figure out why my form sucks and i noticed that most shorter riders have a more pronounced and open form when they jump and grab and trick out, while in all my pics i have a very tight drwan in grab every time and it looks like crap if i try to bone out.
i was looking at the stance i both the shorter riders and mine and noticed my feet are the same distance apart as thiers. who makes a boar long enough to get my feet apart but narrow enough an light enough to jump and free style with or is it one with out the other? i think less knee bending would really help with grabs and style but i dont know who makes a deck for skinny tall guys that dont weigh 250+ lbs.?

A Trampa long is 960mm, so yes.
I think the longest MBS is 100 (ie a TK) so the AK would be longer than any MBS I suppose.

Buggley, shameless plug but I have a conflict deck for sale and it is the same size as the ak pro. I got it for kiting and just switched to a short trampa board. Don't know how it compares to the long tramps but is a lot longer than the trampa short

Yea, How did that Patrol feel when you rode it? I widened the stance on that. I always just use two bolts (caddy corner) when I use snowboard bindings, try moving your bindings out using your outer holes on the deck on the inside holes of your bindings (before drilling more holes) .That should give you like a 3' wider stance.

It might be easier to find a Conflict. Actually a lot easier since Flyguy has one for sale

i cant get it any time soon, we are in the process of getting a house loan so asking to spend money is a bad idea. i was just building up my list so when the cash is freed up i know what and where to buy

[color="Sienna"]I think i can get the number for the guys at groundindustries for you i know they have been having some website problems as of late. I was gonna buy a conflict but AK told me to wait for the pro to come out im glad i did because the pro has a carbon fiber, wood and foam core the carbor fiber gives the deck extra rigidity and pop. i compare mine to like jumping on a trampoline cause when you jump it really launches you into the air. the conflict is less stiff and is made with foam and wood :P[/color]
