i actually find i can't pop at all on a zap. i don't know why. i hate that thing now for anything flatland related. even tricks like 3 shoves feel so much more in control on my dbs. and tricks like big spins the twin tip is where its at... i just need to get a lighter twin tip... i think jim gordon is going to help me next year with that...

i can not compare it, but i hear nemos are weird and flex like a biotch. but they are more flexable than stiff. if you like stiff boards then im not to sure if u would get used to a j-gordon quickly. its flex out of 10 as 10 being alot, its about 5.

For sure! I want to try out a set of Skimshops some time too tho. But I like the feel of the Astro beakers no doubt

I heard they were harder than the Astro Beakers but softer than Dakines *shrug*. It's not like Traction or skim is super common around here to go around trying out traction.

Plus I think the boards look super-cool with the pads on there :-P
Funny tho how the guys I was skimming with at bend tried my little board and loved the traction over their wax. But nobody ever puts them on their boards. Maybe it's just cause it's not "easy" to get traction around here
(sidenote: I'm working on fixing that ;-) )
