Rope question

I am currently using the bottom run Liquid Force poly rope (the thick one). The store up the road is having a big sale and they have the thin Spectra rope on sale. I'm sure it's better, but what exactly are the performance benefits of moving to this rope. I'm pretty much just doing small jumps and slides? Does the thinner rope aid in that? Does it make getting up easier (none of my friends can get up)

Thanks

Steve

r u getting a good deal on it? the spectra will help later when you start doing filps and spins. but if ur not getting a good deal on it, just keep ur same rope

Yeah, how much are they selling you the Spectra for?

the thin one is probably non stretch and it will help when ur cutting in and when your in the air doing something.

The thick one probably doesn't have much stretch either though.

bought the Spectra line for $25 and grabbed some Transit bindings for $100.
