pumping on the nose

Schitzo Sk8s · pumping on the nose

First off let me say how cool it is to find a site dedicated to one of
my favorite styles of skating, great job!

I really dig pumping with my feet placed farther forward and holding my hand farther back to control my weight

I really like the Mermaid from a
quality standpoint, not sure how my style would work on it though

The Pulse with its multiple truck placement options seems cool
LDP seems the obvious choice, although it seems to be missing the concave

Any suggestions on a set up?
btw I'm 6"1, 200 lbs with fat feet[/code]

LD skater since 1971

I use to way 200 lbs plus when I started at the begining of summer and now I weigh under 180lbs.
I just angle my lead foot over the front truck and place my other foot at a angle just about 12 to 18 inches apart and I have never had a problem pumping off the nose.
