CELT Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 How you gonna pop something that weighs twice as much that you have to kick down twice as far before the tail hits the ground as high as a regular board? Shit worked for Eric Dressen with a 10" board back in the day , that's how everyone did it . I need a little weight , because otherwise I'd feel I'd be out of control .

Rick Howard did that blunt slide to nose blunt slide in Questionable ahead of Daewon and MJ. 2:10 in Skateboarding has in most of our lifetimes gone through an insane evolution ... we are still establishing what it is to be a skateboarder ... Gonz, Danny Way, Mullen etc were major innovators almost 20 years ago and are still redefining possibilities as they all are pushing 40!!! Today you can walk into a shop and buy a board styled after any generation of skate you want. Its no surprise tricks and styles have become more cyclical going in and out of popularity over the span of a few years. Jumping on any bandwagon of "this is what skateboarding should be" is stupid and will most likely not last. So why set limits when someone will break that rule soon enough and have tons of kids following(tight pants anyone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Placement Only Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 you and i are both sutbborn DAO my logic believes with slightly bigger wheels, you'll have more snap, [bigger tricks] and smaller wheels will give you quicker snap. [techier tricks] same goes for size of boards. skinner boards will flip easier [less weight] but harder to land back on. wider boards will be easier to control [more area to land on, more weight to slow down its rotations] if youre rolling on bigger setups, you can do bigger tricks, just look at the mega ramp setups. their boards are twice as big, cause theres no way they would be able to land back on their boards if they were riding 39s and 7.5" wide boards or any hesh dude that skates transitions, or skates fast and big, vs the techier skaters who do flip in flip out shit. reese forbes vs rob welsh. both about the same size, but totally different styles of skating. reese skates wide boards and bigger wheels, and welsh skates like 49s with 7.5" boards. but whatevs, you believe what you want to believe, ill believe what i want to believe.

visiting Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 chris fissle- useless wodden toys.. tom knox- feeble slappy, railslide, back to feeble. no comply flip to manual...thats whats up. skating seems to be coming full circle. I just hope we don't go back to 30mm wheels and going negative mach 2. 7.75 with 54mm and INDYS...the only ones that matter. think crime.

ERIZENO Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 That's what makes skating so damn cool .... its an individual thing ... we all get stoked on different shit. And 39mm wheels will never be as prevalent as they were in the early 90's ... they may come back as some novelty shit but I don't see it being any bigger than that.

I need a little weight , because otherwise I'd feel I'd be out of control . Yeah but nobody including dressen or even Natas was ollieing as high as kids are nowadays. I feel "outa contlrol" riding dagger boards. Like the board has a mind of it's own and doasn't want to listen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger boards and bigger wheels are FOR skating vert. I don't think anybody ballsy enough to step to a mega ramp would do so on a street setup. But you're wrong about it being easier to land shit (street) on bigger boards, because like I said they have a mind of their own. And aren't as willing to do what and land where you tell them too.

enigmatic Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I dont like skating small wheels. At all. But the difference between the pop your gonna get caused by the distance (from the board to the ground) of a small wheel and a huge wheel is so little nobody could possibly notice it.

enigmatic Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hey. Just so we have something to disagree about. I dont like skating switch either. In video parts sometimes I dont even notice when someones skating switch. It would be a lot more impressive if it wasnt done to frequently, so it was obvious they were not skating regular. Some people I "skate with" are learning all there tricks switch. I dunno, maybe I should jump on the boat. I just dont see why. Its my least favorite stance. It LOOKS exactly like regular, its just harder... Im all for challenging myself. But... maybe im just lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
