Topmount DH board

This is the board i've spent the most time on and built the most of. It's designed to be more of a downhill board. It's too long and doesnt have enough flex to be a freeride or carving board. Although the specifications change a little bit with each build...
quick specs
Length: 42 in.
Width: 9 1/2 in.
Concave: 1/2 in.
Wheel Base: 30-32in.
Construction: 4 1/8th in. Baltic Birch plywood.
I sand wheel wells in the bottom to allow for bigger wheels. On my current set up I'm running 75mm wheels, and although wheel bite is very possible, when the board is put to its intended use, wheel bite is no where to be found.
