Think maybe it was that the road was a little damp (not wet just damp).  Being damp it was also a bit cooler so I would have had a jacket on, comparing that to just a T-shirt would make a bit of differece too.  After a bit more testing it does seem the same.

colby

your imagining things with your deck being slower

there is no physical way that the deck could make you slower unless it had enough surface drag to affect your aerodynamics...

its in ya mind...

Why is my new deck slower?

I built a drop down fiberglass construction and its noticably slower than my old top mount stiff aluminium thing.

Wheel base is maybe an inch shorter on the new one, and its definately softer/spongier, it probably weighs about the same too.

Everything else is the same, trucks, wheels bearings and even the hill.

I put it down to the softness but dont really understand why this makes it slower.
