Shock pads help keep hardware from rattling loose. Riser pads not only make more clearance for less wheelbite, they create a higher fulcrum point which ads more leverage when you pop the tail on the ground for an ollie. Its science. If you can watch this video I commend your patience, but Professor Schmitt explains how riser pads can help you ollie higher.



This explains the magic behind the Fred Smith III...that board had like a 80 degree tail. So much fun to ollie on that thing.

Is there any ride video without spencer in it?

I remember wanting one because I thought I’d be able to ollie higher. It wouldn’t have made a bit of difference because I was a fat little kid who couldn’t jump but in my imagination that board was a magic bullet.

Hahaha...same here, man. My step-brother had one and I'd steal his once in a while. But the truth is that I could barely get the board off the ground. I remember putting down a garden hose and trying to ollie over it. Then a 2x4. LOL

My brother had a Tony Magnusson that had Hell Concave and a really steep tail. He could ollie really high on it and I did alright for a kid. Eventually though I landed my first impossible and 360 flip on it and after it was gone there was a long time between those tricks for me.

In my oldish age I try not to arbitrarily hate any skaters anymore, but I think he's a holdout. I definitely hate him. Any skater on the low end of the talent spectrum who films a 'day in the life' video before they even have a notable video part (anyone remember Kevin Booker?) is clearly a shitlord.

Hell Concave! I had an Alan Petersen board with a snake on it in like 1998 that had a really deep concave. It felt like the middle of my foot didn’t touch the board. Oddly, I could do bs 180s on that board noticably better than any other board I’ve ever had. Every other trick felt wrong.
