So the board i have now, the nose is curved more then the tail. I guess so you can slide your non poping foot up without going off the deck when ollieing. But im going to get a deck from blankdecks.com, and i want the nose to have the same dimentions as the tail so i can do a shuvit, and then another shuvit without haveing to worry about the difference in the nose from the tail.
Do you guys know if blankdecks boards are symetrical. Its kinda hard to explain and i dont think i did a very good job of it either.

opps. i kinda spelled nose wrong...

Well they were definitely differant when i first got them. Very noticeable. And i always do a trick on the reglar tail, and then i try it on the nose and never pop it cause it is higher then the tail.

i definately notice a difference between nose and tail, but i don't think it is to the extent the i can't to tricks

I find the difference huge, but that's magnified by crooked bushings which I can't be arsed fixing.

WTF?

just about all boards have a bigger nose. youll just have to deal with it, its not as if the nose is so massively huge that you cant do a simple shuvit on it.

Well, maybe its cause i wore my tail down to much. Well thanks all.

you have an ok idea, but i think it has been done before (double tail).

personally,i like my nose a lil bigger, for some reason it just feels more comfortable to me than skating the tail as the nose

bah, i hate directional boards. id like to get a board with the same nose and tail as well. but all boards these make the nose bigger to make nollie tricks easier from what ive been told. search around for a 90's shape. those are symmetrical

The nose is supposed to be bigger to catch your foot.
