So just curious how can I find my perfect wheelbase match in correlation w/ height & shoe size? I’m average size being 160lbs/ 5’11/ shoe size 9.5 us/ n I skate street preferring snappier, quicker more responsive pop. Any leads in the right direction would be appreciated a shit ton 🙏🏼
I'm 180lbs, 5'10", US10 and also prefer quick snappy pop
Anything with a short WB of 14.25 or under I want Thunders or Ventures to push the WB out
Anything with a longer WB (say 14.35) I want ACE or Indy to pull that WB in.
Width doesn't seem to matter all that much (except in tranny or hucking, I prefer wider decks)
What doesn't work for me, ever, is a 14.25" WB + anything from the ACE/Indy/Theeve/Tensor/Tuck the WB in scenario. I end up feeling too cramped.
TL:DR:
14/14.25" WB with Ventures or Thunders (Street) is for sure the snappiest combo to me, flippy, quick pop/insta ollies
14.3x/14.4x WB with ACE/Indy/Theeve/Tensors (bowls) bit more stable, slower ollies (good for big ollies imo)
15"WB = Never, flip tricks just disappear on me
What's funny (apart from the OCD) is that you would think a long WB with short WB trucks = Short WB with long WB trucks would be the same thing, yet they aren't (wheel position I guess).
I'm really enjoying the Primitive 8.25"x31.85x14"WB, 8.25" Venture, bones V3 combo
