Where is the sweet spot on the OMEN

[Geordie]

Hey guys,

I took my omen out for it's first spin today....pretty safe to say it's a lot different than the byerly I was used too. If any one that rides an omen could help me out that would be greatly appreciated. Where should I position my feet for a good solid ollie? Any other hints? thanks.

a lot of people ( myself included) say dont be afraid to ride your back foot all the way to the edge on the tail .... this might help but also take it out if you can and just mess with different configurations to find your sweet spot

if you can pick up your back foot while riding. you will know your weight is centered and that should be the sweet spot.

back foot all the way back, and dont be afraid to kick the shizzle out of it. once you learn to use that extra bit of concave, that's where all your pop comes from. pm sleucrew for details.

i ride that board more like a skateboard with my back foot almost hanging off the tail

im the opposite on my omen.. i used to ride my back foot all the way back.. then i started riding with like an inch of tail left on the end and i felt like i popped better..

lake tarpon, I agree with you. I ride my Omen like a skateboard, but when I skate, my back foot sits in the pit of the rocker. Right in between where the tail begins the fifth stage and the very end. Also, I keep my front foot damn neer the center of the board. I found that you can do a true skateboard-style ollie like this. Opened up lots of doors in my progression.
