i've got a standard pair of 6.1's on a 9" eagle and madness is making me curious about putting titaniums on it, but i cant find them anywhere in that size. i found v-hollows but i'm skeptical they would make any difference. anyone have input?
for me, hollow/light/exxxtra lite, etc, is only useful to me, if it’s a size i shouldn’t really be riding.
i understand that my opinion is not helpful in this situation. i’ve tried to really combo some
stuff together to get larger setups to ‘work’, and finally decided to stop fighting it, and size down to wherever i didn’t need to carefully consider sizes and components. for me, it’s embarrassingly small. my setup looks dumb. and larger boards are better for some things (if i was skating fast, i’d want larger than i ride now for certain).
i really liked 8.75 trucks, well, ace classic 55s, indy 159s, and thunder 151s, i liked those all more than the next size down in those brands. i stopped messing with big boards before 6.1s, but those have a geometry, from what i hear, might be even more to my liking,
compared to other ventures.
anyways, i’m in the weeds here, and off track. in my experience, a big board is just a big board, good for some stuff, shit for others. it’s still big, even if it’s a smidge lighter.
