Maybe if you’re stuck on definitions. I just see not having a tail as a limitation, especially if you’re skating park- They’re just designed more for tighter turns and the leverage you can only get from a tail. Nothing wrong with adjusting to the environment. Check out the GONZ [VIDEO] ripping the transition on a longboard over 30 years ago. All possible because of a tail, but I definitely wouldn’t call it a regular
