TKP definitely more carvey in my experiences

Thanks. i put a note next to the definition and added links to the source. Since there are a few factors that contribute to how well a board carves such as baseplate angle & bushing stiffness, do you think it will be helpful to remove the statement from the definition?

The geometry defines the carve ND the turn, which are actually different values.

TKPs carve better than RKPs assuming the same setup otherwise. RKPs turn more stable, not as deep, it’s more predictable. Which is why they are better for speed.

I reckon that split angles probably deserve a mention in this glossary too… not from this forum but still a good thread

wandagoner · October 9, 2019, 4:08am

agree, my hope was to keep the references contained to esk8.news where practical.

@Squishy654 do you mind if we copy your builders post on split truck angles to a new post under esk8 mechanics on this forum?

A member (Beto_pty) of the sphere came up with Vedder Endless sphere controller VESC but it must have got changed at some point I assume.

I scored a brand new kanthaka on indy 180s and orangatang keanus a little while ago for 200 bucks. It lives in the passenger seat of my car
