Detune for freestyle?
 

Ok so I just got a 156 ride kink that im using for jibbing and butter, and I was wondering if I need to detune my tip and tail. I saw s video on youtube and the guy said for freestyle it would be best to detune your tip and tail and also to detune your board near the tail where it starts to bend up. Would this be a good idea and is there any shops that can detune it for me if it would benefit me?


Here is the video: YouTube - Detuning a snowboard

think about it this way, all rome boards come detuned when you buy them :) hope that helps

lol its a ride tho not a rome

Personal preference...

i kno, but rome is a very respectable company

well is the tail and tip edges even usefull for freestyle?

Well isnt ride too tho

Bickering aside, yes, Ride is reputable as well. IMO, don't worry about the nitty gritty, just wax your board and go ride. The board will naturally start to detune itself with time...

ok so just dont worry about detuning the tip and tail

I always detune the tip and tail, even on my longer carving board. It helps prevent the nose and tail from grabing especially when your tryin to go straight.
