The Landyachtz Evo downhill longboard skateboard continues to be the racers choice of downhill longboards. What makes this board special is that it is a drop board top mount that has a lower center of gravity making it stable than most downhill boards at top speed. It is wide at 10" with deep concave toward the front of the Evo locking in your front foot. The Landyachtz Evo downhill longboard skateboard has deep sharp rails to rest your toes and heels so that you can put distribute your front weigh at higher speeds without shifting your feet so that you can turn the Evo. The Wheels base of 35.75" allows distribution of your weight over the front truck creating more distance allowing a lower tuck for higher speed. Also notice that Landyachtz angled the nose for turning and De-wedged the tail for stability so that you don't have to. Adding risers is an option, but not necessary.
Most longboarders would think the Landyachtz Evo is strictly a downhill longboard just by its very design features . Although it is designed for downhill, you will see many guys and girls commuting around town or pushing from classes to their cars. The Evo is a lower to center of gravity board meaning that is close to the ground. The benefit to this is that they are easy to push putting less pressure on your back. Just loosen the front truck or put a softer bushing in and you will be ready to commute. You can still hit a hill when necessary too.
For the preferred Downhill set-up you should try out the Bear 852 181mm downhill longboard trucks with a Venon Eliminator/Barrel Bushing combination. We also suggest 83mm Flywheel longboard wheels by Abec 11 or 75mm Orangatang In heats longboard wheels. Commuters might try a combination of smaller wheels like 76mm Abec 11 Fly Wheel or 70mm 4 Presidents by Orangatang. Also, the Bear 852 181mm longboard trucks with a softer DH Barrel combination by Venom would work for getting around town. Just tighten them down and you can hit some local hills!!
Randal longboard skateboard downhill trucks are 100% engineered right here in the United States. There are very few truck companies that have the privilege to say that. Randals are made with Virgin Grade Aluminum which makes each Randal longboard skateboard truck is built strong and built to last. The angle of geometry is 50 degrees making it a stable truck under speed, but can be easily converted into an amazing around the town cruising truck that most longboarders put on underneath their boards.
Randal longboard skateboard trucks come stock with a red 92a durometer conical bushing. These bushings will work fine for a lighter rider, but we always recommend that you customize your bushings to fit you weight, riding style, and discipline. Remember that bushings are the suspension under your skateboard, therefore very important. We would suggest that you try Venom or Khiro Bushings for your new Randal Downhill longboard skateboard trucks. Try Barrels for Downhill and Tall Cones for carving and crusing. You can also use and combination of barrel and cone for your longboard.
