Setup a Habitat Suciu Lone Wolf Twin 8.38, more of a twin nose than a tail since the kicks are very blunt (still less than FA), pretty steep (still less than FA) and long (6.75"). Paired with with Venture 5.8 Titanium w/ forged baseplates and it was a fun setup, not having a distinct nose / tail does take getting used to and I would ride the side with less wear to even it out.
The full "tail" felt good on kickflips because the wider area to pop made it more forgiving when your back foot isn't exactly in the center. The downside was steepness of the "tail" meant I had to pop a lot harder than normal to avoid ghost pop, but it did provide more yield on tricks where I wanted more height (lipslides on rails). And more room on the tail made tailslides feel more controlled, big plus for me since I love that trick.
360 flips needed more effort as well, given the steeper kick, but I've never had them consistently.
My biggest issue was finding the right truck tightness since I wanted both to have relatively similar tightness. I've been tightening my kingpin more recently for more stability before trick on taller obstacles, probably because my bushings are extremely worn in and the top ones have started to crack. And not having a distinct front (looser) truck made pinching on crooked grinds harder than normal. I couldn't tweak them and get a solid pop out when I needed to.
I'll try loosing both equally next session, failing which I'll swap both for spare I've accumulated.
