Hustler & Timeline

Hanael · Hustler & Timeline

So i guess, since i'm bored, i'll try to make a wall of text about the comparison of both board.

Trucks: 5.0 khiro orange|whites and RTS Khiro Red & Tracker hourglass.
First one, Timeline.
Quite small for a LDP board, but gives enough flex & snap. I used 15 wedge & 7 dewedge, and it was sweet. Really responsive, but not enough platform for my liking.
One thing that i don't like about this one board, no concave. it's just flat with camber.
Because of this, i can't really lock my feet on the board. Also, everytime i pump, most of the time, my front foot will slide, and disturbing the rhythm of the pump.

Pros:
nice flex
so much camber
light
Agile

Cons:
no 'cave
Short platform
Less stable for footbraking

Hustler:
17 wedge, 13 dewedge
Got the Hustler Prototype for a quite...good price, and "accidentally" turned it to a LDP setup, which works real well. This Hustler is way flexier than regular hustler, but works way better for a 125lb guy.
Longer platform, but has longer deck-to-truck length....or whatever it named. Good flex, but won't really give too much of rebound. It's more like a chillin' LDP deck, can't do too much, but in higher speed, it is considerably more stable than the timeline.
This deck is surprisingly good in handling high speed. However, lower acceleration rate makes this board feels....sluggish?
Less camber, moar concave..but still not enough for my liking.
Compared to the timeline, this board suits me better than the timeline..

Pros:
Longer platform
Concave!
better control/stability

Cons:
Less rebound/snap
fragile drop-thru hole?

Offtopic:
Apparently hand movement really affects my pumping.
hm.

kinda weird, but every person works with pumping....differently.
Eric said it was smooth, but for me, looking at my own video, it was...awkward lol.

I guess it's time to save for a dedicated LDP board. Tried to contact Subsonic, but no replies yet.

*looks up*
meh, not so informative post.
it's more like a random rambling. Drinking thai tea vodka + being sleepy = impaired english.

Scott e-mailed me a couple days ago and said he was swamped. He still said he can have once shipped in three to four weeks though. Which ain't bad. So if that time frame sound alright you will probably save a week or so by just ordering off the website.
