Skateboarding question- Do you use the taller end of the board for the nose or tail?
I have a board with nose and tail the exact same length but the nose is slightly more curved/raised than the tail. I can ollie fine either way but im trying to decide which orientation i should stick with, (ie. should i use the nose for the tail or the tail for the tail). Do any of you jokers use the nose of the skateboard as the tail?
When I got my first skateboard the shop tech put red screws on the front of the front truck. If your board is designed to have a bigger tail, you should ride it that way.
Looks like you can ride switch. Weird flex but ok

Arent most boards designed to have a bigger nose though?

I only learned the difference between street and vert. Boards that can carve bowls and ride better tend to be a bit wider and have a bigger nose. Street boards for tricks tend to be much more symmetrical

Do you think some street boards are made to have a taller tail? The graphics on my board have the tail being the fatter/taller end. But the lower/more tapered end seems to be the end that should be the tail.
Bigger side is your nose, but TBH skate it however you want.
yeah the nose is typically longer and more pointed, and the tail is shorter and more rounded

I honestly don’t give a shit. It prolly matters but I use either side.
LukasSchroederyeah the nose is typically longer and more pointed, and the tail is shorter and more rounded
Are you sure about the nose being more pointed? It was my understanding the nose is usually more bluntly curved, as in it stays full width until it gets closer to the tip than the tail, which tapers earlier.
Nose is usually longer, tail is shorter and steeper for pop
DensecloudsNose is usually longer, tail is shorter and steeper for pop
Are you sure about the tail being steeper? I thought the nose was the steep part bc its easier to catch your front foot but if the tail is supposed to be steeper then my boards graphics are printed in the correct direction...
Can anybody verify this?
It can vary depending on board shape and size, but I've found the majority of the time with my new decks, it is. I would just see which end is longer, its most likely your nose.

GOOGLE:
Description: The nose is the front kicktail of your skateboard. It is usually slightly broader than the tail. Description: The tail is the back kicktail of your skateboard. It is usually slightly smaller than the nose.
Tnx gooby
Roller Blade dude you’ll never figure out which end is which dead ass

Yes. The back of the board is shorter for POP. What type of board do you have?
short and flatter tail for pop, and longer and slightly steeper nose for more flick
All times are Eastern (-4)
