I noticed Daan Van Der Linden is riding Ace’s in the Spitfire “Thrash and Burn Charred Remains” video. Seems like more and more Indy riders get curious and end up trying Ace’s. Andrew Allen was on them for awhile, Cardiel, Blender, Agah, Barker Barrett...
But they all seem to go back to Indy (or indy decides to float them a paycheck...Fletcher, most of the Bloodwizard dudes)...it's as if being on anything but Indy or Thunder puts you in the kook camp.
That said, I ran my ACEs a few days last week (on a long wheelbase) and now I'm fucked again
been forcing myself to ride thinner/shorter shit and I don't think it's working out.

So the dude in the video suggests boards with room before the kick should be ridden with Thunders and those with no room should ride indy styles? Kook.
I’m a kook who backs this kooky suggestion
I feel like the space between the top bolt holes and the kick is a hint of how long the wheelbase is
Therefore you get a more responsive pop with the pushed out kick with pushed out hangar thunder geometry
i think he just likes it steep ie. Indys w. BBS/ Generator.....it's preference......
I get that it's preference...I can't recall if the 'Prof' mentioned trucks when that video was made about the space before the kick...anyone have a link to that? Found this one but isn't there another?
I prefer no space after the truck (with Thunders)
Unrelated: I've noticed a significant amount to boards getting longer....lots of 32.12, 32.22, 32.25/.5 but still short wheelbases...
