finally moved into our new home
when i'm fully recovered from last week boxing up, working the cliffhanger and moving. i'll hopefully have chance to put up the old boards with the 'new' ones courtesy off jonjon (thanks once again, jon)
debating whether i need a kicker or not? jonjon's didnt when we took his apart. is it worth while?
any hints appreciated

Can you kick it?
Depends on the size of the wall and how hard it is to put one in seemed to be the general concensus when I was debating whether to put one in.
I would personally go for one if possible.
-
I'd go for just a small one, say 6".

what dave said. small kicker = more time with your feet on the main board = a good thing.
-
yeah still got my old 6" kicker
every inch counts i always hear

too small kicker and you end up with heel dabs. Or no kicker and the bottom 6 inches of the board is rendered useless anyway.
-
definately a small kicker
-
Small kicker allows you to put holds just above the transition onto the mainboard as well, so you get best of both IMO

Small kickers are good for learning on but don't really give you enough air time for proper tricks and that loooveeelllyy slow big air spin feeling. Ooops, wrong sport.
6" footboard, not 6" kicker.
