| I'm thinking about buying a Road Rider 48" double kick deck. I would like to ride it in bowls and ramps. Does anyone ride something this long on trannies? Just curious. |

I have seen those pics, but having ridden the 57" SurfRider, it seems particularly gnarly 
What kind of set up would you use? (trucks wheels) |

When I skated with Johnny B was using Randalls and Gravity wheels on his Ed.
Now he rides Element Bam decks..

Agreed. Dropping in with a deck that long would prolly be unnerving...
You couldn't drop in like on a shortboard, that's for sure. |
