has anybody else tried a superglider?for LDP, that is...i'm trying to get one all set up, but it's increasingly difficult...idk if it's the shape of the superglider or what, but i can't quite seem to get any pump at all unless the road/sidewalk is mildly downhill. anybody have thoughts and suggestions?

I test rode Earthwing superglider at Muir skate and surf and it was to flexi for me.
The board is a downhill board that may be the reason it pumps well on slight down hills.
It does have the similar truck mount on the nose bend like the bustin boards. If I remember right from their web site it a 10 degree bend.
First what truck are you using?
If it's a traditional truck like bennett or tracker then maybe a flat 1/4 "
riser on the front and Khiro rubber wedge on the back to dewedge the rear truck. What bushing are you using also on front and back?

the built-in wedging on a superglider is 4*
i've been working on a superglider for LDP, but it's not working as well as i'd like it to.
