yeah defiantly hit your lipslide stuff a lot at the beginning. like doing lipslides w/ shuv-it outs and just stuff like that, it helps a lot to get the feel of the board and work on balance which will help for the time you decide to bust out the kickflip.

ok cool thanks. but now i need to know to ride with fins or without i see the pros riding without and i was also reading some of the post about it but i am still not sure. because once you lose the fins don't you lose a little control?

with out them its a looser feel, i ride finless, ilike it loose, its easier to turn the board and stuff, but one of these days i might try fits, just because i havnt in so long and to try it out again, but i suggest finless, thats just my opinion though

well fins help to stay straight when ollieing and stuff, but if u ride finless then the board is more forgiving if u dont land right, for ex. if u dont rotate a shuv-it enough but still get ur feet on the board then u have a better chance of landing it, what im gonna do this summer is practice stuff without fins then once i get it dialed ill put the fins back on, hope that helped

I like a real small fin 1.0 or smaller is great. I am going to drill my homemade skate for 4 Trip outer fins.
