Hi Dave,
It's about power/weight ratio and weight/stability ratio.
I figure with a slalom deck the lighter the better for turning through the cones,
lighter means the setup has less inertia, so its easier to change its direction.
Power/Weight/stability with a speed/downhill deck.
Big and heavy sticks to the road, what happens when you start making them lighter and lighter?
Is there a minimum weight needed to rettain stability? Picture a offshore jet boat flippin.
(or do i just eat another pie to make the weight up? will there be handicapping at Newtons based on my weight).
Wayne.
