I was looking for a slalom board with a wheelbase a little bit smaller than what I currently have and I just realized that I'm not 100% sure how you measure the wheelbase on a board. Is there any agreed standard on this?
I just assumed wheelbase was from center of back truck axel to center of front truck axel. I.e. from center of back wheel to center of front wheel.
So when you look at boards only and they specify wheelbase, how is that measured? Is it from the back front hole to the front front hole on the board where the trucks go? Or can you only truly measure it with the trucks mounted?
