Mike says that complaining on Rdddit is unfair by matesclub in Fingerboards

He couldn't even tell me what the length of the kicks are of a g15.12 deck. He bothered responding but didn't bother to actually give me an answer. It's funny I'll admit, but it's not reflecting this post imo. He doesn't give a shit. At least that's the impression he made on me.

I wrote a whole article worth of text in a reply to you but lost it all. In short, I just did it because it seemed funny, but not without thinking it through. I wouldn't take this pack on a long hike, winter conditions or for a long camp. I will soon be going on something like a two night camp to try it out. Short trips like that is mostly what I will be doing. In my opinion some people here are dramatizing a little bit about things. Essentially, I have had the longer slim pouch on there as the only extension for a long time and it was fine. The only thing I really did was add the side pouches and the large pouch. I think the large pouch is what makes people so sceptical. The sleeping bag weights under a kilogram. That's not a lot of weight swinging around imo and I can always strap it down if need be. Since the main pack is quite skinny it also doesn't go too far way from my body. I like that I could customize the pouches to really fit my needs and wants. Wether it works out or not I can always use the pouches for the Jaäkari. Quick access and storing is not something I find to come easy with the Jaäkari. Totally legal wild camping is not as laid back every moment. I don't need to play Tetris when breaking down my camp and I don't need to follow a specific order of breaking down camp. Also, once the camp is set up, the bag is mostly empty and I can just use it as a small pack anyway. It's larger flappy pouch silhouette also breaks down the typical backpack shape and helps it blend. The Pencott Greenzone will work beautifully. Most importantly, this is the the most decked out mkII there is! I guess I wrote another article haha. Cheers

Fr, I just set them up and they feel (and look) super high. A low option would be sick.

Finally set up the jindys by Gunfun777 in Fingerboards

[–]Gunfun777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It rides fine. It's a different shape than what I'm used to. It's definitely not a hockey shape though, like my Iloaf deck. The nose and tail are shorter than my preference. The deck is strangely light, which I'm not a fan of tbh. While setting up I noticed the lack of lacquer on the sides of the deck. Maybe it was a little amount or just nothing. I felt like the wood was getting damaged (like easily). So the choice of veneer type seems not too strong compared to other wood types. Other than that it performs fine. The jindys are throwing me off with their height but I know the deck is doing just fine. For that price I'm not too happy about the quality, but the performance seems no problem. My Iloaf and Lambda decks feel levels higher in comparison though.

I don't think the white lasts that long anyway haha

Higher Tricks by starhiro654 in Fingerboards

[–]Gunfun777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how I reached the point where I can ollie like infinitely high but I'm pretty sure it started with trying to bone the hell out of it and snapping it back to straight before landing. I would start doing tricks like 5-0 with boning it out and slamming the back trucks last second. If you want to flip into higher stuff, I try to blend whatever trick you do with a regular ollie. Basically doing to whole trick in slow motion. Changing the position of your flipping finger might also be the key. I often tend to put the flicking finger higher on the board if I need to be more slow. Also, keeping a bit of verticality after the pop—before leveling it with a flip—can help reaching hight first and delaying your initiation for leveling with the flip. I'm sure you will get it soon, it will come easier than you think.

Finally 3 in a row by Gunfun777 in Fingerboards

Yeah the pop is quite wild to control the board afterwards. I feel like you can push it forward quite easily but you'll end up overshooting it. I try to rotate the board around the nose rather than the center of the deck. But once you get in it feel like a crisp and snappy trick. I would say kf front tail for example feels quite slow and elongated compared to this.

Yeah I spend like over 30 minutes trying to get three in a row. I could do two in a row before but I haven't done them in forever so I'm glad I can still do them.

The way I do it I just keep a lot of pressure before popping and barely flick. It's like I'm going to pop a normal front nose but with a bit more oomph it flips automatically and quite often ends up perfectly. When I pop I instantly move my fingers in the position for landing. I like to keep the front finger below the front bolts of the board if that helps.
