Dinging?

Yesterday I was practicing popping up on my 7'3'' Bic ( the board lying across a double bed with plenty of support). However, everytime I put pressure down on my knees to stand up, the board kind of made a 'denting' sound as if the outer layer was being pushed/forced in. I've checked for dents but theres none clearly visible. Should I still practice popping p like this, or will it mess the board up? Afterall, it is a solid Bic?

Dont practise popping up on your board. The floor will do, or use a cardboard cut out.

Best way to practise popping up on the board is to put some water underneath it :wink:

Um.. yeah. Nothing but water will give it proper support and flex. You'll damage something.
