does size make a difference?

[Michael L.]

just wondering aside from personal reference, do the size of the decks make a difference on the tricks that you do? longer decks make certain tricks easier, smaller decks make certain tricks harder etc. i know the lower the headtube angle the more easy tailwhips are, but what about the size of the deck?

i know, that title was suppossed to be like that XD

I think longer decks are harder to whip on

some people like longer/ lighter decks for street. and shorter decks for park. But it's all you're own decision. i've seen people shred all deck all over. Just get what feels right.

For me, Hand rails feel a little better if you have a longer deck.

i'm pretty sure that's its harder to whip on a longer deck.

Imo shot decks easier to whip. Long decks better for grinds. Its all a prefrence doe.

ok thanks alot for the
the info

well think about it, if the deck is shorter it does not have to travel as much to do one lap/whip (the circumference is smaller). does anyone know where the weight should be on a deck to make it whip faster(right at the back?), aka why are rups so good for whips not including the ht angle. also if you have a heavy back wheel will the deck whip better

yeah, Lower head tube angle = eaiser whips
Higher headtube angle = eaiser bars.
sort of sucks for me because i have a high headtube angle and a long deck and i'm trying to get down doubles atm

longer decks are harder to do whip tricks on, barspins are easier however because theres more leg room, it feels more stable, manuals you have to pull back a little harder on to get it up, longer decks just look cooler , but if your a small teen or a little kid then ride a short deck because it fits you.. not because of whats trendy

 

[Michael L.]

well i don't have to money to buy a new deck so i'll just get used to a longer deck
