are you lifting your back foot up quickly after you pop the tail? If you slam your back foot down, drag, but don't lift the board won't be going anywhere. |

Your local skateshop should have good quality complete setups for about $80. Keep in mind that's for a blank deck or the shop's own brand (which is typically a blank with their logo on it), a big label deck like Birdhouse or something will cost you extra. |

Yeah get a blank there just as strong as element, birdhouse, habitat etc. and cheaper. The big brand names might be a bit lighter but thats all. My first set up cost me $190 AUD not sure what that converts to in US though. _________________
