Hey guys, Parker here with Easy Loungin. Just wanted to give you a quick little tutorial on how I detune my board for park riding with jibbing in mind. If I am going to be riding mostly rails and jibs I like to ride the Capita Horrorscope in a 151. I like the Horrorscope because it is very soft and jibby. The Horrorscope features Capita’s Flatkick Technology and is one of the more fun reverse camber boards I have ever ridden.

Generally when I detune a board I have one major focus: making the edges as dull as possible. This isn’t something you would want to do with your every day board unless you ride a lot of slush where edges aren’t that important. Detuning to the degree that I do is something to consider when you are building a quiver and you decide to purchase a rail/jib board. The reason for taking the edges off is to decrease your chances of hanging up (catching your edge) on any jib feature. If you take your board to a shop they can detune with a constant bevel. However, I always just do it myself because I know what I like and the exact bevel isn’t really important to me. Read the rest of this entry »
