i run a setup thats very strange, i run a 50 degree plate front, 35 degree back with a extra wedge riser dewedging it, bushings i run khiro barrals with a black bottom red top in the front and purple bottom red top, naturally i got 180 wide hangers. Pink Big Zigs for wheels.
For guys who like a very stable deck that will come alive as soon as it hits about 50+ the board is useless for pushing around in a city invironment but for DH its an amazing board, The major downside of the setup that i run on it is that its uesless for anything besides DH due to lack of turn, i would defs reccomend guys running a setup like mine though its grippy, stable and just glides around

Evo is a popular downhill board. The drop platform makes it easy to footbrake. Where the platform rises at the back is commonly called the gas pedal. Many skaters like to lock their foot in. It is the board everyone gets addicted to downhill on.
Freeriding would be ok but it is a beast, very heavy . You'd be doing well to throw it around.
Commuting and cruising is not impossible but not as fun as on a smaller lighter board.

I used to run mine with 40 degree bear grizzley's front and back and while super stable, it took ages to turn. Another peoblem I found with this setup was that the rear seemed to drift out a lot more than it should.I took this setup to 90km/h no probs.
Since then I have tried a few different things with the rear like wedging. Now I have a bear 52 degree plate on the rear with the 40 still on the front. Both trucks have a pink venom barrel on the bottom (boardside) and a green venom barrel on top (roadside). I weigh 95 kg though
For me this setup feels perfect. Still super stable at speed but now able to turn much easier. Seems to have reduced the rear drifting out also. I think this may be because the rear does a bit more of the steering now so it steers around the corner instead of sliding. I have taken this setup to about 70 km/h so far.

sean...that does sound like a strange setup, are you saying u have a 35 deg plate on the back (with the built in dewedge of -15 deg (or so) for the evo) bringing the angle to 20 degree and then you dewedge again, meaning you have a less than 20 degree angle on your rear?? Coupled with a 50 deg plate (wedged by 15 deg or so at front) taking that up to 65 degree front. This is more extreme than most slalom setups? Not having a go, im all for diversity, cornering characteristics might not be my cup of tea...i know a lot of people do have to experiment to get what they want out of an evo..Michael I think the default setting on an evo which is common is 35 front 50 rear to compensate for the wedge/dewedge...but im not an evo rider.
