Not sure I agree about "longer means more pop" The shorter the WB the quicker (and higher) the pop it'll be(in my experience) The longer the WB (which they say means more "balance" for transition skating) the steadier the ride(why long boards and cruisers have longer WB's)
@@arielvillaverde9507 the theory behind it The smaller the wheelbase, the closer the front axle is to the rear axle. This ensures that the energy you have to expend to get the deck in the air is less than with a larger wheelbase, which increases leverage. On the other hand, you generate less energy that catapults the deck up. Or in other words. A deck with a larger wheelbase will require more power, but the deck will also pop higher.
Your right! The smaller the wheelbase the more responsive the board will be and it’ll make it pop quicker! (14.25 & under) boards with longer wheelbases like (14.5 & up) really start to feel sluggish & heavy in the street. But I can say a lot of this does depend on your height! I’m 5’11 but I ride a 8.75 with a 14.8 wheelbase. I skate the gnarliest park in the world so it’s Necessary haha
The real problem is you're focused on carpenters solutions to thrashers problems. Lol thanks for the info. new knowledge, new me. 🙏
