    I'm a poor Japanese skater.
    I use a plain cheap street deck for freestyle.
    For the tail, shave the round in a straight line. Apply deck tape. High curvature of the nose and kick. The freestyle deck is completed by processing the cutting board and attaching the tail guard. (The cutting board is 15mm thick)
    Wheels are expensive, so I use inexpensive soft wheels (85A) for roller skating.
    It is convenient if you raise it slightly and adjust the rotation.
    Freestyle will become more popular around the world. Thank you for the useful information. I love you.

    Have you tried from the nose? Or reversed your bolts on the end of the nose.

    I think the modern popsicle can’t be that bad for freestyle. Rodney Mullen designed it and does all his freestyle on one. In the nineties we used to mix in some freestyle to our street too. I used to do a lot of Casper tricks and one of my friends used to try to do walk the dogs as fast as he could. The popsicle works. It’s the exact opposite of what you were saying about people tre flipping flat boards.

      Rodney developed a popsicle to adapt to street skating because the industry literally stopped making free style boards that doesn't mean a freestyle board still isn't the best thing for that specific type of skating exclusively yes you can throw in free style tricks with a bigger board but your best tool would be a smaller baord curated for that kind of skating

    • @SarahParkMatott

      Sure! That’s why I like to frame them as complex advantages. they really are give and take. And the disadvantages aren’t limiters 😃 The nuance is just different 💪

      @@yes11889 I’m not saying that the smaller, flatter boards aren’t better for pure freestyle. I’m saying the popsicle isn’t bad. If I was going to skate nothing but freestyle I would get a double kick freestyle board but I am a street skater who wants to learn freestyle. That being the case I think a street deck with some freestyle features is the way to go for me. Rodney designed the board to be the most versatile shape possible. The industry ceasing to make the boards was incidental.

      @@SarahParkMatott Yes! The setup has to match the skater! That’s why I like your channel. You get it. You’d be shocked by how many freestyle guys think I’m trying to fight for even mentioning street boards.

    you could probably contact the right place to have them shape your own personally made decks. is that possible?

    • @SarahParkMatott
      @SarahParkMatott  ปีที่แล้ว

      It actually is possible! There is a place called Open Source Skateboards that can do this. And there are quite a few clips in here of me riding one in this video too. It's run by an awesome skater named Beau.

      You know what? I would love to try one if a friend had one to borrow! I especially find his second pockets to be interesting and I love square, twin tails. It's just so large. I've struggled to skate other large boards continuously, so I'd be afraid of wasting the board and not using it.
