speed wobbles on a evo at 30km

ok so i have a friend im introducing him to long boarding. hes progressing very nicely. so he went down a hill on my evo last saturday at like 30ks fine. no wobbles. i tightened my trucks since then. and today he got epic speed wobbles on the same hill and ate shit. likely causes??

i am mindf**ked there is acyr 8 who shreds on my evo and can bomb and yet the guy who fell off is taller. (and heavier) and he said he was feeling confident. i am so bamboozled

If he puts his front foot as far forward on the deck as possible, and 90% of his weight on that foot, he won't get the wobs.

yep if he tensed up due to going faster than he was comfortable with it is the worst thing you can do for wobbles. taller people also have a higher centre of gravity which wont help the wobbles

I've done that before, eaten the pavement at 30-40 on an Evo.....the reason was i lowered my COG too far down and too far forwards....
