just got angled risers and ready to set this up, now for the rookie question...
the trucks should be mounted so the middle of the deck flexes up, right?
like i said before, this is a new realm of skating for me
thanks

thanks for the truck riser tips
what about the flex of the deck? if the deck is not flat, but bows,
the middle of the deck should bow up, not down right? |

If it bows up it's a camber, down is a rocker.
If you're talking about the deck above, then yes, it is probably cambered. |

| eddies - You'll find that there is a "sweet spot" on your board where the camber will help in your turning. That looks to be a fun set up. |

Depending on how you want it to ride, you may also enjoy setup #1.
Edit--Just saw in a different thread that you're using it for a slalom rig. I didn't realize that when I posted.
Disregard my input. |
