i'm wanting to give the 5.8s another run. tried to ride them on a sage fa board that i just never liked (too steep/couldnt vibe with it, my fault0. what board you running?
An 8.5 Hockey, posted it when I was still running the aces in the setup thread a little ago. I decided to make myself skate a normal 8.5 and not worry about a shape or concave or whatever. It has taken some getting used to but I am not bugging so hard or doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out where I am going to find whatever football shape.
dope, thanks for the reply. set ups that get me more in the grab and go mood are the way, as opposed to me trying to scheme the perfect blend of factors i dont completely understand (bigger boards feel better, but i start to lose some of my very few tricks, 360 flips in particular, but i have a weird cruiser pool shape with a 14.75 wb that i can 360 flip better than any other board i have, and i am short, soooo all im trying to say is that tail angles/lengths, and overall proportions play a bigger part than i realize).
my last time on 5.8s the first things that jumped out to me was that my ollie felt great, and it has been very lacking, and that the bushings needed some time to break in. im hyped for some hill bombs.
always been better with overhang, so 8.5 on 5.6 sounds good
