Their board backwards. Pop shuv it only trick I can see why u would

I've actually never understood why the tail of a popsicle is smaller and shorter than the nose.  It would make sense to have more board on your tail.  I think that's why the trend the last 5 years has been these "full" type shapes

I'd assume it's to compensate for the inequity in control with the non dominant foot, i.e. you have more surface area to land on for a switch tail than a regular tail to make up for the the fact that most skaters can't "stomp" as hard with their back foot riding switch as they can regular, if that makes any sense.

And not a single legitimate slide or pop mark. Barely illegitimate ones. If every board tells a story, I feel like this one is probably in Portuguese.

doesn't he ride the smaller version of it more though?

I think he mixes it up. It definitely feels more like 8.25" with real estate in the middle, which is good for me. I don't think I'd like the 8.75" version. About to go session it at the plaza to see if i can relearn some #fliptricksafter40
