Does a lighter skateboard necessarily make tricks easier?

Question

Answer 1

a lighther board means when you ollie or do any other trick that demands for you to raise the board it wont be as heavy and it may be able to go higher.

Answer 2

It will make it easier to pop up.  It will make it easier to flip usually too, not always because some boards are soggy or stiffer than others and they have different concaves.

Normally, since it is lighter you can pop it easier and even flip it easier.  However, sometimes you are sacrificing strength and overall durability.

Hope that helps you out!

Answer 3

yes .

when you ollie , it'll be easier to ollie higher because the board is lighter and easier to bring up in the air more .

And for flip tricks you wont need to flick as hard because it's so light .

Try an Uber light deck with some venture superlight lo trucks .

Answer 4

yah,listen to justin.

Answer 5

Don't listen to Justin or his duplicate account skater19.  The weight of the board doesn't necesarily make tricks easier.  The skill of the person is what makes tricks easier.  I can heelflip a longboard.

Also, don't get an Uber Light.  They weigh the same as any other deck, and are very fragile.  I tried one out about 6 months ago.  The board got a pressure crack on me in 2 weeks, making it useless, so I snapped it in half.
