hey, I was wondering if the nose is supposed to be steeper than the tail. I have a blacklabel topshelf and I just noticed that tonight. Its hella easier to ollie higher and smoother like that but isnt it backwards?

some guys skate the nose as the tail at first...it wears it out so when the nost is razor tailed(razor nosed?) and lost its pop...you switch it around...so you gotta nice fresh new tail after a month or so

I really don't give a shit which side I use. I usually just skate the other side once one of them gets a razortail/nose.

The nose is bigger and longer, but only by like an inch. Not enough to really make a difference.

^^^ Not always. Sometimes it is inches bigger.

so all this time i thought my nose was my tail? it always looked awkward with the steeper side in front... i noticed tho that when you kick the board up to stand that the logo is upside down... i thought it was supposed to be like that... and when they put my lucky hardware i thought the green screw symbolizes the nose... i am so confused hahaha
