| I noticed from a few videos that most fingerboard companies sell ledges which are only around two inches high. Other than manual pads, I usually prefer 4inch+ high boxes or ledges as I tend to catch my flip tricks around that height.
What's everyone's preference here on obstacle sizes? |

| I prefer lower stuff because I tend to go for quick flips, I love doing massive flips onto high things though sometimes, aha |

| Medium. I never use my box 1 without pallets because its too low. I like the 1 1/2 inches high. |

| My vista ledge is a little shorter than my liska, and it is perfect for flips to grinds. Not trying to harsh your style or anything for that matter, but you may want to flip a little lower/get shorter obstacles as your tricks will come out cleaner |

| Guys c'mon! I think 6 inches is perfect... not too big, not too short. If your ledge is shorter than 6 inches don't worry! Women don't care about that!
But on a serious note, Idk how tall it is but the KL bench is like perf height for me. |
