headtube angle

[JacobEstrada$]

i want to know the best head tube angle, all decks have different head tube angles, whats best? 83 82.5 or 81.5? and what decks have the best head tube angles for park?

It's all personal preference really, but i think a low hta makes it a little easier to do whips and such.

Quite shallow angles would be good for park, especially if you do loads of quarters or vert.

opposite actually, higher headtube angles are designed for park and flowyness
shalow headtube angles are for street and tech mostly
but its all what u feel comfy with

that's actually completely wrong, it's the other way around

no, steep=street and lower is for park because it moves butter its morre responsive and steeper is way easier to do tech tricks

 

[Dewey]

yea i might be wrong but whatever, just what i think

 

[TomGeorge]

What's the angle on a rup? Cause I find that petty good.

 

[Scott Freibaum]

79 or 80

oh man the head tube angle on a rup is ----- it pisses me off

 

[TomGeorge]

It's great - it's the only deck I can do downside to fakie flat on, an although I can't footjam, hang 5s are pretty easy.

No because image trying to do the whip motion with your wrists on a 90hta, now image trying on a 79 hta...

 

[TomGeorge]

But now imagine learning to hop into hang 5s on a 90 hta, then on 79. Although 79 would be way less scary, it'd be so much harder.

I sorta ment mainly tailwhips.
