Hey Kim, the only difference between girls boards and boys is flex (softer for lighter rider) and width (narrower for narrow feet /leverage) .

Top Speed, depends on rider. Faster than you can run off I bet. Best set up, something w/ tall gearing. This means long WB and longer flexier deck.38" deck w/ the trucks pretty tight.

Glenn, I believe TS depends on the hill. There is no specific cone spacing that defines TS. For example If you were to set a course from the TOP of the hill at avilla at 8'.8" on center I would say that would be TS. If you set 8'8" at a flat parking lot that would not be TS. Courses should be set to...
