Curious if any of you have tried flattening the kicks with your car? There is a couple of Enjoi boards that are around the size and wb that I like best and is hard to find. The kicks are too steep for me tho!! I think theres a 8.75 with 14.25 WB. Also a 9 with same WB
Currently riding a Shawn Hale Birdhouse thats 8.7 x 32 and (dont hate me) 14.375 wb. I really like shape but the only place that has them now is baker boys for $70. I love the shape but I've cracked on so far and the one I currently am riding is sounding like its slowly breaking ha!
Thank dudes!
Yes I have flattened lots of boards, mainly but not limited to BBS wood and they never have issues or break, but a friend of mine has cracked a couple of Dwindle boards by trying the park on the kicks method of flattening them out. It is odd, as some of the same boards have been fine and held up (but flattened a few degrees) but others have straight up cracked or broken from Dwindle - same boards from the same shop in the same drop, which doesn't make sense.
That is parking on the kicks with a small car (Corolla) for a short while for just a bit of change, or overnight for significant changes, which have taken the angles of kick on the tail from 21 degrees to about 17 degrees.
So yes it does work on Dwindle boards too, but be warned, just in case it is so stiff that there is no bend and it just cracks or straight up breaks.
