@peoplecallmehannah bamboo is an incredibly flexy and strong wood, so you could probably jump on your deck like a trampoline and not snap it.

as for speed, the deck is usually for stability and how comfortable it is when you're bombing/sliding/carving, and the wheels impact the speed a lot.

a higher durometer will let you slide a lot more, and i think it goes faster, and a lower durometer grips the road more, and is smoother. bearings help a lot too. try bones bearings :D

Nice! Seems really smooth! Were you just riding down a road on a gradual slope or something? Is this your first (made yourself) longboard?

@peoplecallmehannah well the bearings are for speed the lighter your deck adds speed and the wheels hardness depends on how much terrain it can handle

@peoplecallmehannah bamboo is very flexible, it makes pumping and carving a dream

@peoplecallmehannah id say mostly the barrings, the wheels help a bit too

of course bearings have to do with speed, but you don't have to go out and buy bones swiss 6 or something more expensive, once you wheels can freespin for at least 3:30 seconds then they can not make you go any faster, the wheels make the biggest speed difference, the larger the wheel the faster you will go, try riding a skate, board then with 51mm wheels or so, the put longboard wheels on it around 70-75mm with the same bearings and see which one goes faster ;)
