I learned how to do horizontal tricks with the Dark Sonic. If you do choose to buy it, you wont be disappointed. My new Supernova handles horizontals very well also. However my Dark Sonic seems to be so forgiving and stable with Horizontals. ---

I’m fairly confidant in saying the dark sonic was made for horizontal play. That was one of the bigeye factors that went into the design. Also the finger grind. ---
