Help on Dancing and tricks?

[Syn]

Hey guys I have an Arbor Blunt Bamboo with Paris 180's, Abec 11 Gumballs 78a 78mm, and Super swiss 6 bearings. I originally got it as a downhill board and it is amazing at, it can control high speeds with no wobbles, i just love it for that. But lately ive started dancing too and tryin tricks out cuz school started so i ride my board on campus (no hills). I was wondering if u guys think if the blunt is cut out for dancing because it does have kicktails and is wide and long so i imagine tricks could be easy...but i am having difficulty doing shove its and an other tricks... i am able to cross step somewhat and do other neat things and am wondering maybe it just takes alot of time and practice, but i dont wanna waste the time if the blunt just wont do it..i never see anyone with a blunt who can do tricks on it, im the 1st person that ive seen with a blunt and has started doing stuff on it...

I wanted to see if any of u guys have the blunt and have mastered doing whatever on them or if i just need a complete new board or if its just my wheels (cuz they are 78a and for sliding i hear u need alot harder wheels, cuz i would love to slide also). Thanks in advance!

Pretty much any board can be used to dance and you have yourself a pretty good platform to bust some moves on so all you have to do is practice to get them down 8)

Ya you can dance on any board with a decent wheel base.

It looks like a decent board for dancing, since it has a wide nose and a nice tail in it.

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to do a shove-it with it. It just may take some practicing, just like everything else.

cool thats what i was thinking. i was just hoping i wasnt wasting time cuz maybe some of u have tried it on the blunt, switched boards and then were able to actually do it so i didnt want to waste time lol.

Thanks again guys!

Yeah the problem is that skateboarding is difficult. Most things can be done on most boards with enough skill and practice. I hate shuvits on dancing boards, but could do them all day on a street deck, wheee.
