i was thinking of a pi and an enjoi? are those good choices?

For flip tricks you'll want a narrow deck like something from 7.5-7.8, I use at least a 7.75 deck with size 10.5 shoes, works great. enjoy is a good brand, get their resin 7 deck for a lighter more durable deck it's made using a special resin that is lighter than normal stuff keeping the deck light and durable with 7 plys. smaller wheels like 50mm-54mm are good, if you use small wheels and low trucks you'll need some riser pads. Low trucks also help with flip tricks keeping yo ulow to the ground.

Watch the Flip riders as they rip, terrorize and party way above and beyond the call of duty. Enjoy antics by Rowley, Penny, Appleyard and the boys as they wreak havoc across the unsuspecting trail of North America’s finest venues and skateparks. For more info, updates and new video clips, go to:

Ive always been a Toy Machine rider, but I saw that flip has a 7.06×28.57 board which is awesome because i love smaller decks. My question is that are Flip decks heavy or light and does it have good pop.

dn't even get me started on flip.. the pop is sick, they r really good grinding boards, make sure u put risers on them tho bcz my tail on the bottom has got a lil' wore out they r realy light and strongi would get a flip over an element any day they flip smooth too
