Yeah i have the same dilemma. The only spine I got is gnarly 8.5 foot on one side to 6.5 on the other. All i can really do is air it but some easy things that are fun is when you go up to clear it jump to the side and grind it. And yeah i guess wear kneepadswhen tricking over it. And 360s just really try and tilt down at the end i always end up leaning back too far and thwacking myself. That is all. Have nice day come again preas.
