This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

When i first started skating, i used to think that if you ride your board backwards, it will increase your pop on your ollie.

I did for the longest time, the larger tail felt right, then I was like waittttt this is backwards, and I've ridden normal ever since.

I find front shoves easier off the nose, that's about it though. And when skating switch of course.

never ever (i can't do shit switch). maybe my trucks are too tight but that's what bothers me the most about it. they feel a little bit looser carving frontside and when i turn it around i can feel the difference.

I could never get my two trucks set exactly the same, close but never the same. I like to skate the board backwards when the tail is worn thin.

Definatly.
For me it evenly wears down the nose and tail.
And I don't have to check and see if Im riding the right end.
I dont recall ever putting on anything Southpole in my life.

Switch and Nollie. Always. It feels way too weird on the tail. I'll skate either for Hardflips and Front Shoves but backwards seems to work out better.
Tits are a good part of the female anatomy. I prefer a good ass, but for a kid, tits.

I skate off the nose if I'm skating from point A to point B. That way the nose and tail wear semi-evenly - helps fend off the dreaded razortail. Also for pop shoves and fs shoves. It just feels right.
