my board tips

on my killswitch with paris 180 hangars, when i lean a bit it tips.
the trucks arent super tight either, they have a fair bit of lean in them. anyway, can this problem be solved by getting wider trucks or is there something else to do?

or is it unfixable?

thanks

yeah but i already have them pretty loose and its for DH/Freeriding, so if i go much further i will get wheelbite and stuff.

Lower degree baseplates? Barrel Bushings/Elims?

yeah im alreadya running barrels and the hangars seem like a good idea. i want to get some sabres. paris look good. i just dont really like the company :/ after reading a few interviews the guy behind it seems to be a bit of an asss. but thats just my opinion, if they are all thats in stock i will probably be getting some of those :P

and i hadn't thought of baseplates jake but i think ill stick around the 40-50 range anyways

Tipping of a board usually occurs because the bearing load point sits inside the rail giving you a bit too much leverage and making the rail inherently tippy. This will also lift your outside wheel when your on the rail. Its usually better to have your trucks a nudge too wide than a bit too narrow. Ideally you want the bearing to sit exactly on or just past the rail

Its not so much the lip of the wheel as it is the line of the bearing

it doesn't tip when you're going faster lol
mine is abit tippy but not when i'm going faster than pushing speed
kinda like when your setup only wheelbites under 15km/h
