Will going to 49mm-50mm wheels help with ghost popping? I went from Indies and now I'm ghost popping a lot on my Ventures, but they feel great when I'm not ghost popping. I think I have max 53 wheels now, got the red spitfire lock-ins wich are awsome.
As someone that likes to switch things about, I hear you.
And I’ve got some upcoming sessions (hopefully) that are going to SUCK, because I haven’t been skating.
Yeah, smaller wheels maybe, might would help.
But.....just being on your board more, getting acclimated, that’ll solve all of this.
Creating more variables (by constantly changing your setup) when the act of skateboarding is already so full of them, can only make things more difficult.
If I remember correctly you said you hadn’t been skating for quite some time, gained a bunch of weight, recently came back to the game. Rad! Welcome back! Give yourself a break with the setup.
Switching your board around can be fun, and a distraction from the rest of life, but the results are definitely shit like ghost pops, and attempts at tricks that make it look like you’ve never skated, and then the rare sweet spot, popped, perfect whatever.
Or just buy the wheels I’m sure you’ll be better than ever.
