    Default Can some longboards not do tricks?

    This is something like my board:



    I really want to do tricks on it, but Im not sure if I can do manuals and things on it because the tail doesn't really look like it will, help?

    Should be "Can some riders not do tricks?" Your board can do anything you make it do.

    Manuals may be a bit tricky on that but nose manuals look like they could be done ok. It looks like a good platform for dancing too, so that could put cross stepping and the such into your arsenal. Probly could even do some shovits, just go out there and try it 8)

    Thanks for the advice

    Just been out and nose manuals are near impossible on the thing, lord knows why. Managed some tail ones though, just needs some practice

    i mastered my cross stepping on a big ole S9 plank that looked just like that. The trick is to flip it around and Bam you suddenly have a giant nose that is perfect for learning shuvits, 180 pivots, and manuals

    Shove-iting the board may take some practice but I would say that its a nice platform for cross-stepping and other boardwalking.

    I actually use my Lush Mako for boardwalking/dancing and it feels good man.



    theres a picture of the old Mako.

    Its basically a 44" pintail

    the only thing about pintails when manualing is that it pops up faster, so i usually put my back foot a little behind the bolts

    but you can't do an inward heel on it, or a tre, and more than a handful of other tricks


    board designs do have their limitations

    You kidding? The strike is only limited trickwise b/c if you do anything more than a 3 set it'll break
