Grinding on a phoenix

[Jakeforgothispassword]

sorry for making a new thread, but I really need a detailed answer. I'm about to buy a new deck, and im stuck between the proto and a phoenix. the only qualm I have about the phoenixes....GRINDS. I've heard theyre terrible, as in you slip out a lot. I ride pegs, so I know they'll help on boxes etc, but rails.... how bad is it?

Not bad at all, If you know how to hit rails right and keep your Balance then you won't have a problem at all. Erik Feenstra rides a phoenix and all he does is rails.

I ride a phoenix, I think it is the best deck for pegs hands down. It is fine fore grinds as long as you don't suck.

 

[parrish]

its fine for boardslides but feebles and smiths not so much

 

[Jakeforgothispassword]

thats what im worried about, I whore feebles....I don't suck, I can do shitloads of feebles, oppo, etc. but I dont wanna lose any grind tricks

 

[parrish]

just dont get one then

 

[Grant Schofield]

there fine get one just lean a little more forrward when you grind

 

[Steezeman]

Proto decks are ten times better than Phoenix decks for grinds, except maybe with pegs.

 

[Jakeforgothispassword]

well, you're biased.

Nah he knows what hes on about.

 

[humpurple kushiones]

if you lose grinds with phoenix, you can't grind.

if the proto deck dropouts werent thin as paper I'd get it in a heartbeat

Jesus christ. Atleast use the this or that thread, We can't make up your mind for you. We've basically given you as much input for grinding with a phoenix and if you still don't want one then go get a proto deck, Its garuntee you don't snap it at the drop outs if thats what your worried about.

im done, this is beginning to look like the old sr, lock? haha
