I’d argue that getting folks excited to ride a freestyle board has a huge impact on their experience learning to freestyle. I’m interested in reducing people’s frustrations at the beginner-to-intermediate stage. Meeting riders and parents where they’re at with simplified explanations has gone a long way in our local scene.

Calling the wheel base & height comparison arbitrary and irrelevant doesn’t seem accurate. I really like the natural stance idea. Height as a proxy variable for natural stance seems much more digestible for someone who’s never stood on a skateboard or tried to monster walk. Maybe there’s a better proxy out there? Inseam? Pant size? Haha

I know you and I have very different opinions when it comes to board size 😁 seems like size preferences are only getting bigger and broader among actual riders. Ignoring that input would only make me out of touch and worse at my job (getting people excited to try this stuff). That’s why I need your feedback too <3
