[ehallas0424]

hey guys
i was looking at the in depth chart comparing bwps to tanshos and I saw "turning radius" i was just wondering wat it was
thanx

how big/small of a circle you could turn in.

like, a 5ft turning radius would mean that you could carve a 10ft wide circle.

thanks so usually smaller is better?

makes trees, moguls and doulbles allot more fun

[ehallas0424]

thanks ill look for that

[harrysiii]

well, that all depends on what you want to do.

if you want to make really tight turns, you want smaller (parks, tress, etc). if you want nice long carves and (i'm assuming) more high speed stability (ie: racing), bigger would be better.

thanks,

i wont be racing much and i like tight turns once again thatnks for the info

The boards with the wider turning radius will also hold their edges better; that's the main reason that you'd want a longer turning radius.
