evo or chinook

ok ur proberly sick of everyone asking this question and i was just womdering what to get. i'm new to the downhill scene and i want to learn how to slide. i am leaning more to the chinook because the evo is move downhill and is supposed to be harder to slide on.

thanks

Why not go something topmounted? Or a board with an even drop like a nemesis?

get something to ride on, learn on it. the hardest to master but most fulfilling is topmount. any of them nasifhbeafb8iu3wq hdy2wb ciuywbc8i732g cewuinc34gf

sorry just buy a board from a shop. stand on all of them and buy the one that feels nice underfoot. for the love of god go skate!

evo's are hard to do quick whippy slides on, they are how ever alright for doing slides while riding DH (ie predrifts, check slides etc etc), its all personal, i loved mine and i will probobly buy another one or a chinook when i have the cash around, also something to be said about the evo is the build quality of them, they are tanks and it takes years and years of out and out abuse to dammage them, to make them unrideable it takes even more they do last for ever and hold up to abuse like nothing else.
