I must choose the Trick pedal.
I have worked with both pedals
and I mean every which way to
Sunday. The crucial elements
are there in both but the Trick
is the more dependable pedal.
I use twins and I have to always
keep checking my Boa's. They
are constantly needing attention.
When you look at my old pics
of the pedal, the cams are set
up in a radical way that, with
the foot-board pushed away
from the rim, allows for that
wonderful snap-back.
The Trick allows the same thing
but much more simply and you
can see my dials in the photos
of that thread.
https://bcwtj.forumotion.com/t3-the-trick-pro-1-bigfoot-longboard?highlight=trickI am not going to bring up the
foot-boards because I have
exhausted that.
The Trick has everything, does
everything and solid and stays
that way. I wish the Boa could
just just hold onto its settings.
They just can't, for me. Once,
I set up the Tricks right, they
stay right and the compression
is so comfortable for me.
Fantastic designs. It's in the
materials, I think and there,
Trick has everyone, I feel. The
team, there, is innovating and
always looking to improve.
Mike is fantastic. I should tell
you about the tour he gave me
of the shop, here.
The new HH's look absolutely
earth-shaking. Cable-players
are going to flock and I can
see Pearl and the rest looking
to duplicate the design but I
know the patent-lawyer and
that is not going to happen,
at least, here, in the US. Ask
Pearl about that.
Of course, there is no doubt
that Trick is SO high-end. It
is a boutique shop, clearly. I
mean I think I am the only
one actually thinking about
buying a titanium kit. The kits
are VERY expensive.
I will be going back, again,
for another visit because I
hear that the twin attach-
ment rod has been modified
again and that the left feels
more like the right more than
ever before.
There is one more thing that
I have to say about playing Tricks:
The disk/circular tension-ing
dial allows me to make ad-
justments WHILE I am
playing!! THAT kills for me.
So, there it is. Trick is the #1.
A general note: I have concluded
that players do not exhaust the
different set-ups these pedals
allow. When I set them up for
someone else, they can't believe
the action. They just do not look
at the whole spectrum. I find most
setting them up like a typical pedal
and you are just putting rags on
a princess if you do that.
Again, look at the settings on the
cams in my pics and you will see
where things get radical. Both
of these designs deserve time.
When you find it, you will jump!
