I find that weight distribution on acceleration can be quite difficult. The best thing I can suggest is to keep your back leg as straight as it can be, while leaning forward with your front leg almost squatting.

This allows your back leg to act as a brace against the acceleration, while keeping your weight over your front foot.

Itā€™s definitely a challenge, but worth practicing for sure.

I have found 2 things to help, I love doing 25-55 mph pulls and my board will chuck me off even if Iā€™m prepared so this is something I have lots of experience with. The real fix is bushings, I basically have rocks as my rear pushing which solves the stability problem, I just put as much weight to the front as I can but obviously inertia will try to keep more to the back. The second is either to use bindings or do something that takes a LOT of faith (stupidity) and grab the front of your board pull the front of your body down, shove your front foot into the deck, lock your back leg and slam the throttle. It works extremely well, however, you need an incredible amount of faith in your skills, board, and know the road really well since you basically cant see or react.

My only issue with super hard rear bushings is that it makes it way easy to lift the rear wheels on hard turns. I feel like a much lower steering angle and softer bushings would counter this

Yeah, absolutely, personally I dont have any issue above 10ish mph but at lower speeds, I canā€™t turn and any turn I get the opposite wheel to the direction of turn will lift off the ground. I was thinking about getting a dewedge riser and that will probably be next along with a set of maybe 80a riptides instead of my 90a, maybe even softer, I am currently addicted to passing cars in a 45mph zone though and I have gotten super comfortable on this setup.

Speed wobbles huh, I thought stooge trucks couldnā€™t get those lol

Glad you survived alright tho

Edit: I see you got some good advice. When I set up my stooge trucks I guess Iā€™ll check with some pros first
