Gear help Who makes a "square" or "shovel" (ie Hockey shape 1) that is reinforced like DBX, VX, Flight, etc?

I am skating a Real DBX now, it feels fucking great but don't love the shape. I want the Hockey Shape 1 but with some reinforcement.

Question I have formula 4s that are 99a and I cant poweslide, they seem to sticky still.

• Upvotes

I fully understand the motion as I can snowboard very well, and I translate that to skating, but the board just grips super hard and I fly forward. I have to learn backwards so far and throw my weight into my legs just to get it to chirp once and throw me forward.

I also weigh around 200lbs, so that doesnt help my case lol. Any thoughts? I have a set of clouds that are 87a and they seriously feel as sticky as the formula 4s🤣

Im thinking the skateboard concrete may be to grippy?

I have a skateboard tool and it wont fit on the trunk no matter how I put it. The loose trunk is causing the board to hit the wheels. The half sphere is making it hard to grip with most tools. Do I need a diff tool or to try and tighten it a different way.

EDIT: Boss had an allen key and i was able to tighten it, thank yall so much.
