| i recently have been using a redemption hybrid now if you've ever had a redemption you know how amazing theese boards are the craftsmanship is amazing, anyways the hybrid mold is a med/high and med concave. I thought that having a higher nose and tail made it easier for flip tricks, well recently i switched up to my redemption mid mold wich has a much more real skateboard shape and i am completely blown away because my personal preferance was off. I realize now that the mid mold actually works better for flip tricks. the board doesn't twist as much when you do kickflips and i hate to say it but im starting to understand the craze of the flatshape!

| yeah i love my g12 pretty much no concave but what most people don't think about is its not about making a fingerboard look like a skateboard its about making it preform like one. |

| MMC = flatshape? Nahhh mate. This is flat shape:    Nécrose <3 cant wait to get mine! They make frost g2 mellows look hardcore XD But, yea, I agree. I hate high kicks + concave. Mellow concave and medium - low kicks makes a nice deck ^_^ |

| med/low kicks - mellow concave for the most part but I do like some decks with med and high kicks just not my first preference. That Necrose old school is crazy! I want one so bad. |
