| I agree with Skittles, and Jonathon, to a point.
I consider Cuatro to be medium, g12 to be medium low, and as for BW, I think they're medium. I dislike high kicks strongly, because they are just way to hard to control during flips, etc. Medium and lower. | |

| I had a bw old mold regular, and the kicks were my exact preference, as well as concave. I have a g12, and when I first got it, I thought the kicks were very high, but now I see that they are med/med-high. | |

| I don't like g12s. They just don't seem nice to me. The dips aren't very defined, and I don't like the fact about different kick heights. (Okay, I'm making a thread about some stuff.) | |

| I like medium-low kicks where the nose is slightly shorter, broader, and higher than the tail. I get that from my skating though. | |

| Most fingerboards when compared to skateboards through a size ratio would end up being 9 and 10" wide decks. | |

| As for wheels, like todd said, most wheels would be like, 60mm. That's why I like minis. | |

| But does anyone agree that the new berlinwoods are low kicked because what decks are lower then that besides flat?
EDIT: but if the board would be larger along with the wheels, then the ratio is different so then it could mach | |

| IDK, I've never had a BWNM. I didn't like the shape of the OMs which is why I never tried the NMs. | |

| Look at JRskater's new homewoods deck. Hes making the tail and the nose different, just like on a real skateboard. They look so realistic. | |
