Truck madness got me again, riding an 8.3 Element with very tapered kicks, listed as a 8.3 x 31.9 x 14.25 x 6.75 x 6.5, but the tail feels way too short. Tried going from forged to cast baseplates and it helped a little, but I was ghost popping for so much of the session. Took me 3 hours before I figured that I needed to put my popping foot on the tip of the tail and snap down harder than usual.
Still not out of the woods, got me wondering if I should swap to Royal or Thunder cast, or sizing down from 53 to 52mm wheels.
Fuck!
