^ I know I've mentioned it before, but a WB that is too short for me, makes my ollies/nollies feel like I am swinging a bat, golf club, or hockey stick while choked-up on the handle, which is to say it's a total loss of power. Stated another way, it's like trying to run, but not being allowed to break into a full sprint. For non-ollie tricks (say a f/s 5-0 grind on a ramp, any slappy variation, or even just turning out of a board slide), if a wb is too short, it feels super cramped, like a tall isosceles triangle that doesn't have a base wide enough to give it proper stability. Flip tricks get too twitchy/sensitive. I often find myself landing things with my front foot too far out over the nose (which can be deadly on reentry with transition, bank, etc.). If a WB is too long, everything gets really sluggish.
Unrelated, I had been religiously riding IV stamped DLX decks. I ended up with a III a bit ago, and I liked it. I got another III, and also enjoyed it. I decided to push the envelope, and got a II last week. I hated it. Too steep. Sometimes I think it's good to test your assumptions, if only to establish that they still hold true, and def still don't like steep kicks.
