The Dirtsurfer's unique inline design completely eliminates speed wobbles that are so common in skate truck systems. The Dirtsurfer is also incredibly easy to learn to ride. Most beginners pick it up in just thirty minutes. With lessons, most can ride with confidence in just fifteen minutes. With most skateboards the rider stands above the axels and somewhat over the wheels giving a high center of gravity and reduced stability. On a Dirtsurfer, the rider stands between the wheels and below the axel giving a very low center of gravity and greatly increased stability. It is initially stabilized by rider weight and further stabilized by the progressive gyroscopic stability of the two in-line 20" wheels. Traditional three and four wheeled skateboards all must incorporate a chassis or truck system that must move independently from the deck. However, this is a real compromise because there is always disparity between the chassis and the deck. Surfboards and snowboards completely lean with and are at one with the rider. There is no secondary truck system. The Dirtsurfer shares that beautiful free-flowing feeling because it also leans with the rider without a separate deck and chassis. Further, the Dirtsurfer in-line concept eliminates speed wobbles, allowing the rider to travel at faster speeds more akin to those experienced by surfers and snowboarders. In fact, much faster than surfers and snowboarders! The Dirtsurfer actually gains control and performance as you travel faster |
