Front roadside. With Valks atleast, it makes it ever so slightly more snappy and responsive than if it were an 87a Riptide Krank tall barrel

Rider notes
Mostly use it for freeride. And a little cruising and carving around here and there, the deck being big and having minimal concave gives you all the room in the world to relax and the surfiness of the Valks just makes it a joy to cruise and carve around on.
Pros
Big, stable, surfy, very forgiving slides
Cons
It's heavy Being big and having minimal concave could be a con depending on the person
Why it works
It's a big stiff deck with surfy trucks and slidey wheels
What I would change
Maybe some Venom kegs + Venom tall barrels instead of mostly Kranks? Venoms have less rebound than Kranks which sounds nice and I've heard good things about that combo in DH Valks. Maybe wheels with a little more edge grip?
