[tylerbillman]

What headtube angles are better for what? What do you like?
Better for back wheel tricks? Front wheel tricks? Whips? Spins? Ey?
Discuss!

I love Razor ultra pro angles. So good for tricks. Anything higher than 82 just feels and looks awkward.

steeper is easier to do frontwheel tricks on, and you'll get used to it.
Less steep makes your deck feel shorter but easier to do backwheel tricks.

You just got to find the perfect angle for you by trying out some different angles.

I used to love my 84d headtube angle but now im riding 82. Still feels right and its a bit easier to manual and stuff.

I've ridden tsi and ultra pro and I like the regular pro the best

i personally love steep headtubes but that changed when i started riding my friends ultra pro it feels right for alot of tricks i used to ride 83 on my tsi, but now i ride smaller bolts on my pro gives me more leverage

81.5 is the bomb! its great for doing whips & foot jams

My TSI FM2 made everything easier to learn. My whips kind of changed, i catch front foot close to the head-tube now, but barspins, spins, manuals, grabs, tucks all got way easier. Let it be known however that my riding style is in no way technical. The most technical stuff i know are half cab whips and bars, and im not an avid grinder.
