Title: Ishod's Twin Tail Shape
Post by: ZEBRA on September 12, 2014, 11:41:47 AM
Who's had one??

Is it actually symmetrical?? Can you pop an ollie on either end and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference??

I haven't found one at a shop in my area, so I haven't been able to check it out for myself. Thanks in advance!!!

I would totally do symetrical if I was designing a deck, that'd be rad!

I have my fears of it being a little small, too. But, I figure there's no harm in giving it a shot. Could be the best board I've ever skated. Who knows.

Stepping on one, was it symmetrical though?? Cause if's not, then I have no interest.

definitely seemed symmetrical. seemed like a great width and concave too. almost got the gonz ishod graphic but I like my boards to be atleast 32 long

Ive had a Mystery Tom Asta shape that was the same idea. Loved it.

I rode the Mystery Symetry (see what they did there?) 8.25"Carlin, was quite fun but felt more like two noses, I'd rather have two tails; the Creature EvilivE series is right in the middle of a hybrid tail/nose length.

If they are totally symmetrical, I would love one. I had an element fiberlight twin tail in like 05 that I miss dearly.

Yeah it's symmetrical, but I think it's 8.38 wide. And like chillout said its short compared to width. I feel anything over 8.2 should be at least 32 long or more. Everybody's different. Check one out you might love it.

I'm the same way. I like mine 32" long also. That's the only thing I'm worried about, but if the wheel base is the same as a 32" DLX board, then it probably won't be that bad. Thanks for the info.

Thanks to everyone for the info. Seriously appreciated!!!
