What’s the best curb *angle* for slappies

[Plan9Customs]

Angle doesn’t matter as much to me as height. For shorter curbs I feel more limited, I see people crook on like 3” curbs and I don’t get it.

So short, 90 is fine, good for 5050s, 5-0s, nosegrinds.

Taller or standard, a little angle feels good, like 80-85 probably. But also 90 works too, all about technique. Taller or standard is better for crooks and feebles imo.

I wax a good amount, but it also gets hot as balls here and shit just dries up.

Some of my favorite local curbs of varying heights and angles

Always jealous of the variety you have. Not knocking the 3 types I have, but you’ve got a better selection(so far).

Back in my day, wax didn’t even exist. If you wanted to slide faster, you had to go harpoon a whale and hand-wring its oils out over the curb, uphill, five miles in a hailstorm. And that’s only if you were too big of a baby to learn to slappy properly.

So copers and rails then?
