the key to high-speed turning AND straight-line stability is geometryā¦ think like a car, front wheels turning and very little rear truck articulationā¦ here is a brilliant example from @MoeStooge cycling his raceboardā¦
check out the lean angle and the front truck vs. rear truck articulationā¦
and yesā¦ @shart infected that thread with his stuppid water bottle theoryā¦ fuck himā¦

just add a splash or two of vodkaā¦ alcohol mixed in will ease your trepidation about a little bit of mother earth in your redbull

I was wondering who that board was forā¦ congrats to @Tello1969 ā¦
Lower degree trucks have more leverage. I have a feeling @RipTideSports might recommend increasing the rear bushing durometer or going with fatcone/ chubby combo. If it works it works though

Brad has some interesting insights on the ābushing helpā thread regarding split angle trucksā¦ worth the read!

I am not sure if this respect the parameters of the questionā¦ this will turn and doesnāt require leaning. But at speed i think it will be really dangerous.

100% does. Haha. That looks like a deathtrap. A fun deathtrap.
Personally I feel like lean and turn are intrinsically tied together on current skateboard designs. Learning to use lean to your advantage at speed is part of improving your riding ability
If anything, having a board that has the ability to lean further while maintaining stability increases my ability to turn at high speed. Kinda the exact principle behind channel trucks.

It also looks like it puts you on par with OneWheelers & EUCs in terms of looking like a complete nard.

Yep definitely looked cooler in my mind when I bought it about 10 years ago. Ride a few times and realized it was extenuating got back to regular skateboard
