your trucks aren’t keeping you from doing a kickflip. buying a new skateboard won’t help you do a kickflip. the only thing that is gonna help you do a kickflip is practice. lots of practice. maybe the question should have been “does anyone have tips on doing kickflips?”
damn kids always looking for the easy way out.
if your board feels too heavy you’re not getting enough pop off the ground. just try to be a little more snappy with the tail. in all reality if it is an equipment problem it’s a broken or non existent tail, but you should still be able to do a kickflip on it, it will just feel a little soggy. i remember one day my friend broke his deck and switched to a backup that only had 1 inch of tail left (seriously), and he was still doing 360 flips and impossibles on it.
by the way, all the wheels, trucks, and decks at your local skateshop are all about the same quality, all it is is personal preference. the best wheels for you are the ones you like to ride, the best best deck it the shape and size you like, best trucks… i’ve skated many different brands of trucks and i can’t tell any of them apart.
