Tried both of those at CS3. The pocket one can is more portable and can be fit into a rucksack but it has quite small transitions so it's harder to skate. I bought a Winkler mini dos because it's more suitable sized for skating and isn't that much more than the Pocket. It is quite bulky so it's not that suitable for taking it with you to places.

if you have neither. its the dos all the way imo.
the pocket is great, but more novelty compaired to the dos.

DOS all the way. The pocket is fun, but ultimately the DOS has better all round use, and is such a fantastic mini. Love mine

ive got both and personally it depends what your looking for
a sesh ramp for your marble park your gonna setup pocket wins
when you have friends down the road from you who FB go for the DOS
overall i think that i would go for the DOS its 10-15 euros more than the pocket but if u travel alot id go for the pocket its super sexy and sturdy its got some realy nice features and if you turn it over you have a bridge shape which is realy nice
the dos is very big and i mean that its good for seshing with friends i personally use my pocket more but i sesh the hell out of the DOS when i use it hope this helps

The pocket is not a proper miniramp. You're not gonna pull off many smooth runs in that thing.
The DOS on the other hand, has proper sized transition and therefore is a proper miniramp. You can rip that thing to pieces.
Not hating on the pocket, but if you want an actual miniramp, then go with the actual miniramp...

I think the pocket is better, I was supprised to see how big the DOS was, and the transition on the pocket really isnt that hard to get used to and certainly isn't hard to use, it's much easier to take places!

get the dos, it flows more like when you land something your not on the other side of the ramp... also that guy in the first video really grids my gears

Yee maybye dos but i got skateshop with g6 park 300 meters from my house so i ride dos there everyday but i think i will get a dos (meybe?)
Subject: Re: Pocket winkler or Winkler mini Dos? Mon May 30, 2011 7:27 pm
Woah, that's awesome. I really wish The Works skatepark would invest in a G6. They had the money to invest in TVs with Playstations but a G6 park would be so sick.
