    Default Sounds of Pumping?

    I've been trying to pump, I'm not sure how successfully but my board has been producing some interesting sounds and would like to have them interpreted. If anybody can take some of their palm-reading talent and apply it to this thread, go for it (sarcasm, bad at that).

    Anyhow, my board when pumped (hopefully) side to side produces what sounds like the wheels turning faster then when the board is in the center spot on the trucks. So it makes a whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-etc noise. Each whoosh was at the same audible pitch indicating the same speed was achieved with each pump (hopefully).

    It's hard to tell if it was actually a pump or not though... I'll try some more tommorrow.

    I reckon that'd pretty much be pumping... Does it feel like you're going any faster than if you were doing nothing?

    Yah, sounds like. What makes me wonder is the fact that your not sure if you were pumping, its hard not to know when you're pumping. Its a pretty unique feeling when you're applying energy to the carve and getting surplus drive out of it. Sounds to me like your bang on tho...ooooh what a feeling
