ok, the urban assult was designed as a commuter. the
UA turns horribly with r2s. because with r2s (50 deg
plate) mounted on such exteme angles (17deg) the total
comes out to 67deg, meaning when you turn a little
most of your weight will be on the pivot cups, not the
bushings. but when you lean a lot, that weight will
transfer from the pivot cup to the bushings resulting
in an unpredictable two stage turn.

landy UA+r2s=crap turning. landy UA+randal DH trucks=a
little better turning. landy UA+conventional truck
(tracker, core, indy)+a little negative wedging=bueno.

now, the evo. also shares the same hard wedging up
front with negative wedging rear. if you use both r2
baseplates (50) then the front will act squirrly. with
DH plates (35) the rear will feel completely dead. the
best combonation ive found is a r2 50deg plate rear
and DH 35deg plate front.

im assuming that this is your first board, if so stay
away from highly specialized boards like the evo. if
you have a dh board, the only thing it really accels
at is DH. just stick with a beginner board like the s9
pin, gravity hypercarve, or comet voodoo. if you like
using kicktails the gravity diamond tail, earthwind
superglider, or fibreflex 44 kick will suit you just
fine.
