| Kind of hard to come up with a good topic title, haha. I have a few different fingerboards of varying kick height, width, etc and it's funny that I have certain tricks better on each one haha.
My switch flips and ESPECIALLY my switch frontside/hardflips are much better on my high kick board. My flips into grinds/manuals, heelflips, tres, shuvs, and backside flip tricks are better on the medium wider board.
Just wondering if anyone else breaks out different boards for certain tricks. |

| I feel like when I used to have multiple setups I had different boards for different tricks, but with just one (or two) setups not really haha If it counts I used to sometimes do nollie tres on my old setup cause they were easier? lol |

| I've got a brutal coming in the post, that I suspect I will use predominantly for old and midschool tricks. Can't see it becoming my main over, say, a weca. Buuuut, yeah, some tricks are definitely easier on certain boards. I think a lot of the higher level skill in fingerboarding is being able to pull all your tricks on any deck, certainly that's what I'm working towards anyway.

| I used to rotate between 2-3 set ups and would notice certain tricks being easier with certain decks. But using multiple decks gets annoying after a while because you're constantly adjusting your feel and it made if counter productive for me. Now I just use one set up and I get some consistency |

| Only thing that comes to mind is riding a Brutal for oldschool/bowl tricks. I have a pretty specific preference for regular boards, so I don't really enjoy having multiple set ups. |

| I tried a few setups. and I always wind up back with the same one. It seems like I can only land tricks with my FFg14. I have personal noticed I can land some tricks better with loose trucks and some better with tight trucks. |

| this post inspired me to get my old setup out. 4ply g12 with ytruck x3 and oak rv wheels. have to say I feel like tricks are cake on this setup. so much pop over my g14 with x4 and ywheels. |
