what actually is pop

[CasperGuy]

what actually is pop?as i know is how high the bord goes when you stomp the tail.if im right then i dont understand how a board cant have pop or how they loose their pop?

[TROGANMAN]

pop gets lost as you use it and ware down the board

[copsandprepssuck]

pot is pretty much how big your tail is so when your tail wears done you lose pop

[Jyro Blade]

its how well the board "bounces" back against the ground when u ollie

it wears out cuz the wood juss starts to wear out, break, n crush together

n it cna have little pop cuz it duznt have a good kind of wood, kind of shape, arrangment of the wood plys, type of glue used to keep the plys together, and how good the wood is cut and produced

yup lol

Pop is da sheeit when yo board is new and stiff, and it has that SNAP dawg. Once its gone, its wack. dawg.

pop is how high ur bored bounces. the higher it bounces = higher ollies. depending on how feet not leting ur board up

is it true the thing he said about the tail?

well when ur tail deteriorates yea u will lose pop but that not usually the case

the board juss wears out alot, the board nvr completely loses its pop either, it juss sux

k first off u double posted

n second lol u said poop (k yea srry i sounded like i was 12 or suttin there)

anyway i think a board duz lose its pop and sum do have better

it depends on the skater but u cant expect to get the same results in ur ollie usin a walmart deck as when ur usin a pro board

it mite not be as huge as every1 says but i think its gotta exist in sum form

There is such a thing as pop, me and some friends were doing an ollie circle,we have to ollie one after the other and whoever messes up 3 times is out, and with my 3 month old blank deck i could pop like 7-8 inches then my friend let me use his brand new toy machine and i could feel the difference, I had to try less to the the same or higher ollies

Wouldn't that go on for an hour or longer? I could understand if you haven't learned much else than an ollie, but once I learned ollies I didn't just not land one randomly. If it was over something, that would be different.

Oh, and what I believe to be pop is the board's snap response. When you ollie, the board should pop straight up. The less snappy/bouncy it is, the harder you have to pop to get the same reflective force. With strong enough legs it doesn't really matter, but it's alot easier to get a high ollie if the board is new and has the right hardness. I think shape is more important if you do flip tricks though. When the plys of a board get worn off, the board has less response. Eventually, the tail shortens and then it becomes difficult to get the edge all the way down.
