Wow really??? I'm trying to find a new long board. There is so many choices out there! its impossible to find the one for me. i love carving downhill and everything in between. i cant decide...
I'm about 5'0 or 5'2. pretty short. Almost 13. Ye i do some small bombing on the one high point in the place i live but that's about it. except for parking garages. mostly i like to carve, a little slide, but my favorite of all is hitting banks and fun stuff like that.
for banks, garages, carving, sliding, flip tricks, apex is the way to go. i found that although the dervish enables the rider to progress with ease, and so does the apex, but with the apex it can range from a complete beginner board to a completely advanced board. i think the apex is better than the dervish, even though the derv is a great board.
this video got me so stoked, its so good to to see young kids getting into it and putting effort and dedication into it. and on top of it your riding is still cutting edge stuff that a lot of people are getting into, including myself. all in all a great video, well shot, excellent scenery, and got me pumped to skate. well done
i guess, i never really took that into account... but when i'm actually on my feet people always notice that i take more steps than usual, but that's because of my height
Yea i have a friend that's twice my size that long boards with me a lot. I seem to do tech tricks with alot more ease. especially with shorter boards.
well I think height is a big part of it really seeing as you are 5'0 you should go with the apex. No offense to jake but look at how awkward his tiger claws are on the dervish. But, they're much cleaner on the apex. I'm 5'6-5'7 so I like the dervish better and a bomb a lot. But really the Dervish's length will hinder more than add you.
ahaha yep i do for my height, actaully i'm considered 5'4 on my license.. so 2 inches more. still your a guy so you'll hit that growth spurt soon =).. hope that isnt a insult either ha
nice video but damn dude learn some new tricks

wouldn't boneless tricks be easier for you because you're hands are closer to the board when you pop it?
they always seemed easier for me when I was shorter

nice vid, too many steps on tricks where you catch the board, try and make it more flowing.
htime9119 3 years ago
i would, but if you haven't noticed i have incredibly short legs, so boneless tricks require more steps for me than it would for someone else
