Pegs

I use pegs all day cause my town doesn't have any like good non destroyed curbs and my RUP died cause of it being grinded through. so I go through 5 dollar sockets instead.

I am definitely not "sketchy as fuck", pegs make things harder. It makes riding bowl harder, especially. I don't want my pegs to be scraping things while I'm flowing in a bowl, which I HAVE had happen to me multiple times.
And what would grinding fs make my opinion not matter? It's a heck of a lot cleaner than bs grinds.

Maybe it is if you heeldrag or have terrible style. Although, I was only referring to the fact that pushing when you have frontside pegs can sometimes trip you up. It happens to me when I ride a scooter with fs pegs on it. And if you're leaning so far to the side that your pegs are scraping the ground, you're either sketchy or your pegs stick too far out. I can lean over far enough that I wouldn't possibly have been able to land whatever I was foing and I still barely scrape my pegs, I seriously have to be at like a 45 degree angle before it even gets close. And that's running on an SMX, which causes pegs to stick out further.

Pegs make flowing bowl harder. I like to be able to carve as sharply as I want, at any angle without worrying about pegs catching on the transition.

Almost. The deck drops a tiny bit below the peg, like if you put the deck on a square rail and then slide it out onto the pegs you'll feel it drop, but I've never had any problems with it. And on round rails or coping, the difference isn't even there because the deck doesn't even touch with the back wheel resting against the coping. At least that's my views on it, and I've been riding it for 4 months, whoring pegs and such.
