does the concave really make that difrence ?

[Antonio]

does it make difrence or its just an argument to sell more deks ? would you buy a deck instead of other because of the concave ?

 

[iridebrakeless]

just think of a skateboard without concave and one with it, is that a difference

 

[Mikey G]

We aren't doing flip tricks, so it's all about comfort for scooters. if you like it, grats then ride with it. If you don't, then there's no harm done not riding with it.

It doesn't matter to me honestly. I prefer flat decks though

 

[Antonio]

so thats not a bad thing for a deck ?

 

[Antonio]

don't having concave , people wouldn't buying it less because of that

 

[BenJelinek]

I really like it i rode a lucky and they dont have any and it felt weird and not grippy

It's not about the flipping part, it makes it so you can catch it.


So yes, concave does make a difference. Not a HUGE difference, but enough to where if you rode concave for a while, you would have a hard time catching whips on a flat deck.

I could have sworn it's used for flipping tricks...

It's really just preference on a scooter. It doesn't make you a better rider, or make anything easier.

Well, usually with skating you flip using the tip or tail which I think has little or no concave.

And you're right, it's kinda like how some people like back sweep and some people don't.

 

[DJ Lee]

trust me. it works. but its only useful for catching tails. but its worth it for me atleast

 

[BrandonWeir]

I think it helps with pretty much everything. Makes turndowns easier cause your feet suction to the deck a little more so they don't slip off as much. Basically all style tricks are a little easier.

^ i was gonna say that but was really too lazy to put it into words.

catching a whip on a phoenix feels the same as catching a whip on a ninja, and read my sig lol

 

[DJ Lee]

lol good one

 

[humpurple kushiones]

catching a whip on a phoenix feels the same as catching a whip on a ninja, and read my sig lol

no it doesnt. both those decks feel wayyy different.

concave on scooter decks is more for comfort and stability, on skateboard decks its for flip tricks.

Kinda hard to compare the two. If you're used to a phoenix then whips on ninjas will magnetize because of the mellower HTA, and If you're used to ninjas then whips will magnetize from concave.

 

[Cheezel]

true but is is just preserence like mikey g said if you like it you like it. if youve always rode flat decks it will probs feel a little weird kinda like when you ride other peoples scooters and it feels complketly different

More grip

 

[Mikey G]

Concave can't give you more grip, it doesn't add surface area. It really is just about your style. Some people love it, like Brandon. Some people hate it, like me.
