Backsweep vs Non backsweep?

[Isiahloya]

What are some advantages of Backsweep over Non backsweep?

 

[Steezeman]

Backsweep is more ergonomically correct and that's about it.

 

[Michael Aylsworth]

backsweep helps me not fuck my wrists up, i find barspins, bartwists, and tailwhips easyer.

i won't buy non back sweep again.

 

[Isiahloya]

So kind of more easy to use?

i think so. tbars feel fine till 20 wide, any wider WITHOUT backsweep is just dumb IMO.

 

[Isiahloya]

Oh lol. I ride vipers 16 wide no backsweep but im getting blunt strippers so will it be easy to get used to?

 

[Michael Hohmann]

uhhhhhhh i ride forward sweep

 

[Dylan Crane]

yeah it will!

should be easy, i didn't have any problem going from 20 wide proto's to 24 wide raderalls.

 

[issac p]

it doesnt really take getting used to. you just feel more comfortable

 

[TheObserver]

Dont get blunt strippers!! They're horrible. They're weak and flex and creak

 

[issac p]

crows ftw

i like backsweep but not when its insanely backswept, it makes carving and rotating tricks such as airs and 360's easier

I ride 18''w with no backsweep, and it's ok, but I rode some 22" crows, and I didn't even have to get used to the backsweep, it just felt natural. I didn't have any problem with barspins, and whips seemed easier for some reason.

 

[gjdadj]

it feels a tad akward at first
edit: but its totally worth it

 

[danieldoherty]

i like back sweep im on a pair of french id steel trees and there good but undersized and have a bult in clamp

 

[gjdadj]

[AshleyPowell]

[RiccardoM]
