Im currently cruising on a Land Yachtz Evo Spectrum 40" build and with my limited experience, I feel it makes an incredible esk8 deck. Most of you would likely agree that no deck/build/part of any kind is ever actually perfect and it’s this mindset that has left me longing to experiment with other wedge/de-wedge decks. My first thought, of course, was the Land Yachtz Evo 36", which I may pick up on payday this week. I speculate that is a pretty enjoyable ride being that it’s said to be a little lighter and more maneuverable than the original.
While I was browsing MuirSkate’s deck selection in my quest to put a price tag to the 36", I began to wonder what other wedged drop platforms were available for future reference. After seeing nothing of the sort in their stock, I took to google. To my surprise, I was only able to come up with a very small sample pool for those future experiments. An even worse realization was that none of those other decks were still in production and therefore it was unlikely I could find them for sale.
What wedged/de-wedged decks are you aware of that are/were produced that can be added to this list?
their price tag has always kinda kept them out of my immediate thoughts when it comes to parts but im gonna check em out now. do you have any experience on any of them?
@J0ker thank you for that! i was aware that the angles played a role but never knew to what degree(laugh at my pun). definitely going to go back to further explore those links after i walk the dog.
the diagram at the beginning could be improved though. i got his point but thought it could be displayed a little more intuitively.
Nah it’s a random photo I found online . I kind of want one though, they’re hyperoptimized for pumping, and you can get special 0 degree torsion tails in the back to improve efficiency so you almost never have to push.
I also like to throw the Rocket Rambler into the ring.
I had the stiff version once and I liked it quite a bit, my front foot was too big for its front pocket unfortunately.
It’s the same as wedging your trucks but with decreased ride height instead of increased. It’s opinion, but I love it. Also depends what trucks you’re using. What trucks were you using?
