Any idea on what to ride?
Should I just loosen the trucks on my park board or is a slalom setup the way to go?
I would guess hard, park wheels but that's only my guess.

Uh.... OK.
I guess so.

Maybe we could call it "training".
We could run cones and "dial in" our "set ups".
Just like real slalomers do.
