^weird fact; I heard lance rides 139's or 49's with that model and that he likes the overhang.
I haven't skated the same shape in the last few months. Lately, I've been riding a Pete's Pig 101/8 X 32.5 It's a great board, sort of a boat but a really fun time. Tailblocks like a dream. If you haven't heard of Pete's stuff check it out @petespigs. Before the Pig I was riding a Mark Gonzales X Jason Lee Prime Heritage board 9.5 X 31.5 I had an awesome time riding this board, it's based on a Gonz shape from the 90s and it's great for both street and transition. For Bowie fans, the graphic makes more a great wall board. Before the Prime board, I was riding a Scram Leaf board 10x30.375 Felt like Chris Cope riding this board, except for the fact that I can't Invert haha.Yo man. What's up with the tails on the petespigs? I hate steepness! I hate very much concave too. I looked on the site but like most skate sites there is no photos of the kick tail angle.

Originally the indy 169 had a 9.5 inch axle and the 159 had the 9 inch. Now the 169s indy produces are only 9 inches wide. 215's are fuckin useless so if you want a wide truck the biggest is the 9 which is wack for a full sized 10 inch board. ACE 66's are 9.5 but they bend. Indy if you're out there make a real 169 thank you.

you can never go wrong with blazers
What wheels are those?
Just doing some research... anybody have the Anti Hero Cardiel football deck? The 9.18?I had one when it first came out a few years ago with the Zapatista on it, I was running 159s or ace 55s... BMC probably remembers better than I do.
How do you like it? Do you use Indy 159's or 169's for it?

I like it so much that I bought a second one for a backup. It really doesnt feel big at all but the extra room for foot placement is awesome. Unfortunately I've been out of commission due to a mountain biking crash and haven't had much time on it the last week
People who are skating the Dane1 shape, what size trucks you have on those? Currently I have some 159 Doom Sayers Indy's on it, but sometimes I wonder should I put 169's on :-\ Love the shape!

I’ll spare you the pictures when I set up a Simon Woodstock-style skimboard with trucks as a slappy tank this summer.
I am beginning to think 149 is too small for 8.5. I think you need 169 for a 9 inch and no smaller than 159 for 8.75. Spacers only push the wheels out .125 inches per wheel, so really 149 with inside spacers is ideal for an 8.25 deck. Up to you but I have been playing around of late and lurking hard in trucks thread. You could get ace 55 also.

Which companies make boards over 9" wide and under 32" long?
I really would like to find more big & short boards to skate. Been skating a lot of the Polar Dane shape and also had one Prime Woods Dune board. Which companies make boards over 9" wide and under 32" long?
Theories has one shape called The Delivery Board that looks pretty good, anyone skated it?

Krooked Risers

Been on 8.5” for a while with indy 149s, want to move up to an 8.75” or a 9”. Can I counteract the overhang with some extra washers and big conical wheels? I would love to not buy new trucks.

I’ve been skating the Girl 9.125 phawt shape on Indy 169s with 54mm formula fours. It’s been a blast to skate transition with, but the 14.75 wheelbase makes the pop feel a little sluggish, especially towards the end of a session.

Depends on your wheel choice. If you are running a fat wheel (40mm+ like a Slimeball) then I would put 159s. The wheel will be flush with the axle, or even past if it is a super wide wheel.
If you are using a more modern wheel width - in the low 30s - I would use 169s because the outside of the wheels will be about flush with the deck.
I have a Schmitt Joe Lopes with similar dimensions. I ran 159s on it for a while and liked it when I was using my late 80s Mini Rats, but when I put modern wheels (56mm Spit F4 Classics) on it to ride it in bowls I found it too narrow and ended up with Ace 66s. If you look at pictures from back in the 80s it was not uncommon to see a little wheel outside the deck on the back.

Tailslides. Depending on how small and narrow the tail is sometimes you have about half your foot on the tail and to me it feels like you’re on the tip of your toes sometimes. With a wide square tail your whole foot can be on it, I like that feeling.

Has anyone skated the AH Old Yelle’r deck? If so post picks.
yeah I really want to skate one.Expand QuoteHas anyone skated the AH Old Yelle’r deck? If so post picks.[close]
For reference my current boards are Powell Frankie Hill, Scram Wopper, Scram Spiff and a Creature Partenen Large, all on Indy 169's.
I was super stoked when I first saw the Ol yeller. All the specs are damn near perfect for my size 14 feet.
Here's the but, all my other board are somewhere between 14.5 to 15 wheelbase. The Ol yeller has a 16" WB, that took some getting used to when doing things like slappy grinds, the front trucks hit alot sooner. It's the only board I have that takes a few minutes getting used when I pull it out.
Has anyone skated the AH Old Yelle’r deck? If so post picks.
Thinking about redrilling my Winkowski, because the only thing I wish this board had is a slight longer nose for disasters etc. Will probably use a 169 baseplate and drill where the extra holes are up the front, anyone had any experience with something like this? What size drill bit etc will I need?
How's the nose situation with the Winkowski?I had one for about two weeks. Could not get used to the basically flat nose. If you need a fairly steep kick nose on that shape look at the Scram Wopper, really digging that deck currently. Or if you want something in between the Heroin Eyeballer has what I would call a medium kick nose. The Herion Deck is almost identical to the Santa cruz decks in shape.
I've been so close to get it but always ended up thinking I might regret it.
Been skating a lot of Dane 1's and I've just setup this board:
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1314/2513/products/hun_deok_concrete_1024x1024.png?v=1528961040
It's HLC so I'm pretty dubious but I bought rails and hopefully that is going to solve my problems.
I wanted a 9" board but the order got fucked settled of a 8.5 Drake Jones guest board (which is lucky cause it was sold out everywhere). My new trucks are 151's. I won't be able to set it up for a bit due to being in hospital... Are the trucks gonna be too wide for the board? Is anyone running a 8.5 with 151's???You should be ok, btw sucks that you're in hospital, hope everything is good.

Nice setup. I ended up getting some 159 indy hollows but im still looking for some wheels. Any recommendations?
In short, which of the listed decks and wheels would you suggest for a rookie riding rough ground? (And apologies if this isn't really the right thread)That shop deck looks really fun, the nose shouldn't be an issue it's just an aesthetic thing, I would go for that deck otherwise the Creature Partanen deck. 159s, 54 spitfire chargers and 1/8" risers

Thanks for your reply dude! I'm assuming you mean these? https://session.no/conical-chargers-clear-blue-54mm-80hd (https://session.no/conical-chargers-clear-blue-54mm-80hd) Also, would these still be hard enough to learn powerslides on?
Will message the shop about deck dimensions too - the shape of that Creature deck looks pretty nice, but the photos make it look a bit shorter than some of the other decks. I'm not particularly tall but my legs are pretty long for my height so I'm a bit wary of shorter decks/wheelbases
No. Those wheels suck. Sticky and slow. If you want cruiser wheels, get cruiser wheels. If you want hard wheels, get hard wheels. There is no middle ground, sadly. I live in Finland and the streets here are rough as fuck too. I have a separate cruiser and a separate trick setup.
For cruiser wheels from that shop the 60 mm Ricta Clouds would be my choice. I’ve got them in my cruiser and they’re awesome.
To help you get over rough ground getting bigger wheels will help as will wider contact patch. But a hard wheel will still not be exactly pleasant to learn on on rough ground. For harder wheels from there I’d get the Spitfire Conical Fulls in 54, 55, 56 or 58 mm.
You also don’t necessarily need a big ass board to cruise on. Learning tricks especially on such a behemoth will be more tricky. Could just go with a normal size setup with normal size cruiser wheels. Will be more tricky learning stuff where you have to rotate and wheelbite will instantly pitch you but other than that you’ve got a setup with pretty normal dimensions.

Cheers for this. I think ideally I'd go for cruiser wheels then as I already have a relatively fresh set of F4s on my current setup (so could cruise around, then swap to F4s when I get to something resembling a spot). For that same reason I think I'd for the go Ricta Clouds 60mm rather than the 56mm. Would 8.6ish seem like a good middle ground for deck width? I feel stable enough on my current 8.25, the main reason I want a new deck is because this one is pretty chipped and likely waterlogged.
i recently rode the krooked drehobl 9.25 and loved it.
it tapers a lot (8.5) over the back truck, which made it a bit tricky to fit trucks but with 159s it felt super smooth.
i like the extra leverage you get over the front truck, but also i have to put extra effort in to land things cleaner

How are those Zealous bearings?[close]
Out of the box they are a bit slow. The lube in them seems pretty thick. I was disappointed at first, but then as I rolled them longer they got faster. The thing I liked about them is that they seem to be sealed super well so they last. They may not be as fast as my Swiss 6, but they are no maintenance and they haven't slowed down as they get older. With the built in spacers you can tighten them down and they are silent. It's really odd to be in a super smooth park skating them because your board just sound so solid when you land.
I have them sitting in a set of wheels I don't use any more. Next time the bearings in one of my setups takes a shit I'll start using them again. As far as cheap bearings go - they are the favorite I have tried.
Other bearings I have tried that didn't perform as well:
Reds, Mini Logo, Autobahn, Churchill, VXB, Daddies Ceramic
However do you guys reckon I can get used to 15.5 or 15.75 WB for flatland/ledges?

How are your rotations riding a 15wb? If you're confident fs and bs and ready to put more effort into rotating then sure go longerDo you mean like kickturns or pop shove-its? I can do both with ease but 360 pop shove-its require bit more effort than a standard popsicle.
I wasn't ready for the change when I put thunders on a 14.5 wb compaired to when I had ace..
I'd grab the garg because it's not much wider than what you're on and I like a less aggressive taperIt is wider, but I don't think that it's going to feel wider because of the aggressive taper and the 9.75 only being around the front truck. (I think)
Aces are great man
Will do that if I really can't make it work with the standard WB and nose length.Expand QuoteHowever do you guys reckon I can get used to 15.5 or 15.75 WB for flatland/ledges?[close]
Both of those have short noses. Drill them to get a more palatable wheelbase and longer nose.
Go with the one you are more stoked on.Yeah I'll just get the crest then and I'll see if I can make it work. I already have been trough the phase of 'relearning' my tricks on a longer WB so I'll just apply the knowledge I have.
Your skating will adjust to your setup, just don’t get frustrated if tricks don’t work like on the old setup, rethink and relearn or focus on other tricks (for the time being)
Also if you are on 159 Indys I would invest in f4s, aces might be nice but 159s are great too and not worst at all.I'll keep that in mind thanks. Is wheelbite that bad on the other shapes? I do like to ride bigger wheels yeah. Currently with the 60's I have 1/2 inch riser and loose trucks with bones meds and I only get a little bit of wheelbite.
F4 compared to ml is a huge difference.
Shape wise i’d Recommend radial slim if you ride big wheels (55+)
Make sure to post a pic once it’s setup.

Here's the top pic. I feel like pics don't do it justice. I was surprised by how much wider it is in front than in the back when I got it and I looked at the pics for quite a while online before I ordered it. Anyway, it's a nice board for sure. Double drilled for 14.75" and 14.25" wheelbase too.
my wife skates that one, at the moment. we wanted to support the FL guys.
the shape is crazy, huge nose and decently large tail. medium wheelbase and a lot of taper.
at the widest, which is pretty centered it is like 8.8ish and over the trucks 8.4.

I was going back and forth between 8-8.75 for the last few years and figured I would see what a 9 feels like. Feels good to have the extra foot space. I think its a bit long for me, but I have an 8.8 Scram I’m going to ride next which is shorter so I think that will suit me better
Does anybody know of a 9" that is under 32.5" long?
Does anybody know of a 9" that is under 32.5" long?
Polar does a popsicle with a 14.38 wb that is 9 wide and around 32.25 long.
I saw a 9 in the newest run with wheel wells.
Not sure if the dimensions are the same though.
Anyone have any opinions on Santa Cruz wood? I've been looking at grabbing this because it's 9.31" and a similar shape to the Polar 1991, but 31.9" long with a 14.25" wheelbase, and i can get it half price through work. Would love to hear some testimonials from anyone who has skated a santa cruz recently. (https://i.imgur.com/mEnEL5F.png)

I just started riding one of the 10.34 Santa Cruz Winkowskis yesterday and my first impression is that the deck is very very light weight. The concave/kicks feel a little different than the bbs/pennswood/south central wood I usually ride because everything is sharply angled rather than curving. Not a huge difference, but a little noticeable. The tail is interesting because it kicks up twice. Like there is the normal kick angle behind the rear truck, then a second slight angled kick about an inch and a half from the very end of the tail. Makes the tail feel different depending on where your foot rests on it.
I only have had it for one day but so far I really like it. The only downside is that I think the wood, though lighter, might not be as strong as I am used to. I did a bunch of wall rides yesterday and one corner of the tail is half way to razor tail already, wheareas other decks I ride seem to be more resilient. It is possible that this is more because of the shape (fish tail shape) than the quality of the wood though.

The concave of the winkowski is very different from most other sc boards, they are more normal.
I also loved the shape, concave and low center of gravity rocker feel of the winkowski, but I snapped the tail clean off after like a month which has never happened to any other deck I rode
The Santa Cruz Jim Phillips PreIssues are looking good. I want the one with the Faerie sitting on the giant mushroom for the wall

I’m an old kook. I’m fairly ok with saying that out loud in a shop (I’m just confirming others suspicions). I find it really really hard to use a tape measure in a busy shop. It’s just embarrassing.

I was skating around in circles while enjoying a beer after work the other day for about 15-20 minutes. Put my phone down for a little bit to film myself doing a couple tricks on flat. Kept doing things out of frame, but it doesn't really matter. Cut the session short to ride my bike to the butchers'/deli before my wife got home from work (Also they close pretty early). Once I got home from the deli, I watched a bit of the clip noticed all of my nollie flips were really bad, so I went out and did another one. Nothing impressive here, but it's raining in NJ and I would usually use this time after work to try and skate so I'm a bit bored.

I have been eyeing that deck for my 9+.
The tail is so old school and I appreciate the airwalk.
I might get this or a Polar 91 or 92. I can’t decide.
Also there is a new TG LTD 9 inch that is pretty good looking.
That ground looks really shitty so just landing a nollie flip is alright in my book.
dane rides 159/55s on that shape. 55s are completely flush with the truck mounting area width, it's very tapered. 169s are a bit wide on the back, flush on the front. 159s are flush on the back, a bit smaller in the front. for an authentic 90s look, 159s would be the right size.
The Dane1 shape was made specifically for Dane, right? So I doubt he uses anything other than 66s on it. 55s would be too magic carpet-y. I’m using 169s personally, but 66s are on deck.

I don't think it contradicts you and it wasn't meant to. I bet we'd both agree the the "right" size truck just comes down to personal preference at a certain point. I was thinking more about what the ideal truck for Dane's shape would be, and considering that he rides for Ace, the shape was probably made with Aces in mind. Not sure about the sizes he actually rides.
the dane 1 shape was out way before he got on ace.
Really good looking setups, the Gonz and Chico. Not sure if I like the shape of the Chico though, looks a bit like the cardinal football that is ways off.are you sure thats not the 1991 shape?

I had that board and I used 149s on it and it worked well. Prob best with 159s/ 151s as 161s might be overkill with the taper- like others have said above...

that might be pushing it but i rode mine with 149s and it was fine.do you know what the rear tapered to? Truck width? Seems like 44 would be narrow and 55’s preferred but maybe it tapers more than I thought.
Hang it, there's hella couch shapes to skatewhat shapes/ brands are you feeling? I could probably get an AH brown bomber from the same shop I'm about to buy a tonne of stuff for!
skate all the boards! you can still hang it skated and value the sentimental value of a chico board.that's usually my approach but I kind of regret skating my welcome chris miller re-issue. yes, the Chico board isn't the greatest graphic but it is gonz + super limited so if I was going to hang some gonz art in my place this would probably be the one.
keeping decks unskated just pays up if you want to resell them "mint condition" (but then don't even set them up)
or if the graphics are super good and imho the chico graphic is random and not one i would admire on my wall.
that might be pushing it but i rode mine with 149s and it was fine.I have a pair of 149 thunders lying around so that could work. total DLX setup

I'd say 55s are going to be too big and 44s too small. This is where Ace is lacking an 8.75" truck. Same deal with the CK phawt and Cardiel football. Going to have to wait until Spring for a good sized Ace trucks for this type of shape.

Venture 6.1

Love the board, long tail(almost 7”) and on the mellow side which I prefer.
As for the venture 6.1, I have a few setups, on with thunder 151 and one with Indy 159. They all have their advantages but the grind clearance and stability of venture has me coming back.
42s just seem too gimmicky to me.
Never skated any but I just can’t imagine them having any advantages over say 50s

That thing will be hokey. To much nose kick and concave and kicktail. That shape is from no era at all just a weird compromise and nothing like the orignal. If your getting reissues the only ones that are not all concavy and kicky are the Visions (dont tell anyone here if you purchase the 'gator'!) without the 'modern concave'. Every model comes in 2 versions, 'modern concave' and 'og'.
Since I am a tall and lanky fuck I rely on a bigger board.Thats sick like those Fixer boards alot. Post update once its set up. I've looked at most of the board you've mentioned. Are you mostly skating mostly transition with the pig tank
When I was young I rode 8.25s (before that I just took the board that looked the best, had no clue about sizes),
but then quickly upgraded to an 8.5.
About a year later I discovered that there were bigger trucks and I copped some 169 and an 8.6 Creature.
I didn't stick too long with 8.6, since it's a weird size so I went up to an 8.8 and then shortly after that I went up to a 9.
I used to ride lots of creature Boards. They're big boards are usually quite long but I didn't really like the wood. It's very stiff and I broke countless boards on frontside disasters and then I got sponsored by a local company.
The problem with the boards I got from the company was, that they pressed 9Inchers on normal wheelbases / lengths. They were like 9.0x31.5 and a 14.5 Wheelbase or even shorter...
That was also the time when I discovered Ace Trucks and my wheelbase got even shorter. I started having problems with feebles and smithgrinds and started looking for other shapes.
So I started riding Anti Hero Boards, they usually have pretty legit lengths / wheelbases on their boards:
Then I went over to the polar 9.75 Dane Brady Board, but this thing is to short, eventhough the shape is so nice:
9.75", Length: 31.375", Wheelbase: 14.125"
So I then dabbled around with the Santa Cruz Boards, but the Tom Knox Punk Reissue I have just has very weird concave on it. It seems like the board is flat in the middle and then tapers...
Then went over to Welcome Boards:
Never really liked welcome but the boards were very good and lasted a long time...
But then I found the perfect shape for me.
It's a Death 9.75 Dave Allen Board, perfect length, perfect wheelbase and very good wood:
Width: 9.75 Length: 32.25 Wheelbase: 14.75
I also ordered some Fixer Boards from Unheard and I am very excited for them:

When I was young I rode 8.25s (before that I just took the board that looked the best, had no clue about sizes),
but then quickly upgraded to an 8.5.
About a year later I discovered that there were bigger trucks and I copped some 169 and an 8.6 Creature.
I didn't stick too long with 8.6, since it's a weird size so I went up to an 8.8 and then shortly after that I went up to a 9.
I used to ride lots of creature Boards. They're big boards are usually quite long but I didn't really like the wood. It's very stiff and I broke countless boards on frontside disasters and then I got sponsored by a local company.
The problem with the boards I got from the company was, that they pressed 9Inchers on normal wheelbases / lengths. They were like 9.0x31.5 and a 14.5 Wheelbase or even shorter...
That was also the time when I discovered Ace Trucks and my wheelbase got even shorter. I started having problems with feebles and smithgrinds and started looking for other shapes.
So I started riding Anti Hero Boards, they usually have pretty legit lengths / wheelbases on their boards:
Then I went over to the polar 9.75 Dane Brady Board, but this thing is to short, eventhough the shape is so nice:
9.75", Length: 31.375", Wheelbase: 14.125"
So I then dabbled around with the Santa Cruz Boards, but the Tom Knox Punk Reissue I have just has very weird concave on it. It seems like the board is flat in the middle and then tapers...
Then went over to Welcome Boards:
Never really liked welcome but the boards were very good and lasted a long time...
But then I found the perfect shape for me.
It's a Death 9.75 Dave Allen Board, perfect length, perfect wheelbase and very good wood:
Width: 9.75 Length: 32.25 Wheelbase: 14.75
I also ordered some Fixer Boards from Unheard and I am very excited for them:

I mainly skate transition yes. Miniramps, Bowls and an occasional Vertramp...
The big boards work well on street too, the only thing I cant do with them is flipping my board... But that might also be cause of my loose trucks...
I just set up the fixer board but I could only skate flat with it, but the thing is amazing. Very good weight distribution on that shape and it just does what you want it to do.
I'll go and skate a miniramp tomorrow with that thing and I'll post an update on that session

^If you want one of those, hit up the local that sells Krooked and work something out. Those'll be hard to find. They made 300 of those Evil Beemer shapes and they were gone pretty fast. I dunno about that shape or how dude skates such a long ass wheelbase but good luck in your journey.
I kinda sweating that Drehobl shaped deck though.
Anybody has an idea on what size trucks to use for the Primitive Villani deck? (9.125) Thinking about 151 Thunders.
basically a longboard but still want. only 150 made. any links on this?This limited release stuff is wack. To make a prouduct (for once) that has some actual personality but not really make them just tease and be lame about it.

yeah they all seem to be priced as art pieces so ill have to wait and hope for a reissue.
that new drehobl is one of the better looking graphics in recent memory id snag one if i was in the market for a new shaped deck

What's the tail (length) like on the Drehobl Rig shape? Kinda short? Shops below are saying 6.25"SoCal and Tactics measurements are usually accurate so that's likely to be the correct tail size. It does have the shortest tail out of all the shapes you mentioned FWIW. All of the noses look pretty different too. It's probably down to a matter of personal preference. I hope they keep it in the line because I'd like to cop one in the spring.
159's would be flush in back?
How does the shape of the nose compare to the Polar 1991 and 1992 shapes?
Anything else similar?

I've noticed dlx likes short tails, must be something they think helps with response.
Personally I want A much longer tail. 6 7/8 is preferred. That Drehobl shape is great except for the tail length.
Having a size 12 means my foot is always slipping off, especially for bluntslides,tailslides.
Even 6.5 for a tail is really short, 6.75 is good. The 9 polar popsicle I am skating has almost a 7 inch tail.

These last two posts are so hot.I'm glad you're enjoying the nostalgia too. I've only got a couple decks left from the 80's, wish I'd hung onto more. Your boards sound like a pretty cool mix for the era. Ooh! Cellblock 3's? I started skating as an expat on the other side of the world and then landed in southern California in 1991. Overseas ppl were riding whatever they got at home the summer before, or the summer before that.. I tictac'ed around on Tracker Ultralites and Gullwing Street Shadows mainly cuz I thought the huge Indy's and 10" board I had were too heavy. And Hensley.. Friend had Indy 149's? I should have gone that route. Ppl seemed to either have Indy's,Trackers or Gullwings? Probably whatever the shop sold or pushed. I can't really remember that period as clearly.. In socal it was Indy country until the bolt pattern changed. Some ppl were riding og Ventures, rarely Thunder. Tracker if you got them for free.. Then there'd be the random guy on 80's Gullwings (the ones with the groove) or the steel trucks (g&s or San Diego truck co?). After the bolt pattern changed it was mainly Venture Featherlights but the older guys stuck with Indy.
What were the common trucks of this era? I was in a small town, and a small kid, during this time. I had some weird choices: tony hawk, and then a Cab, standard fare, followed by a Peanut Browne Airbourne, and a Bryce Kanights, Scott Oester 3 Indians and then I quit skating for years and years. All of these boards were pretty basic, maybe the Kanights was moving towards a modern shape....can’t remember. Anyways we were putting cellblocks and big wheels on them. Had Indy’s, no idea on size. The boards were huge and heavy. When I started skating again in the mid90s.....I gave my boards to other kids trying to get people to skate with. In a way I should have saved em, but it’s always better to skate with others. I would love to have a setup from this era. Or one with modern stuff to mimic the vibe. It’s super fun to cruise on wide short boards. I always really wanted a Natas, but never got one, why I dunno, other than we didn’t want to have the same board as someone else.
Right before I faded out of skating (for the first time)
I remember seeing some kid in town with the double kick vision, and then another one had ‘venture lowriders’ and stuff was clearly changing.
Interested to see what you go with. Thanks for sparking some memories of an easier time
Thanks for the replies. I thought/feared the Drehobl dimensions were correct cuz the tail even looks short in pics. Rocket ollies suck but nervous tail/blunt slides and random wilsons are what scare me
And dammit for Chico and the Professor putting the idea in my head that I could redrill the tail 0.375-0.5". Wheelbase would be a lil tiny but I'd be more worried about too many fingers of flat. Would that be weird for blunts on parking blocks? Madness
I've only looked at online pics but have a local I can try..
I like the look of a fuller nose, mellow taper, wider round or square/round tail
Dimensions I'm thinking 7-7.25" nose, preferably not shorter
14.25" or shorter wheelbase, 14" is great
+6.5" tail, 6.625" minimum, 6.75" seems good, 7" doesn't sound crazy tho
Going by online top pics I like the Drehobl, Polar 1991, and Hensley Stained Glass
Really like the Drehobl and 1991 nose shapes. Think they remind me of the old SMA or Sims Everslicks
1991 shape I'd prefer shorter WB and longer tail, actually like those dimensions on the 1992 better. 1992 nose shape has a Frankenstein's forehead look to it?
Hensley, WB is too long but the Watson wood puts me off more than anything else
Any suggestions? Preferably 1991-92 style shape, not an egg but I'd think about it if the nose/tail weren't too pointy
Might just get 159's and an Alien 8.75" while I hunt around..

Have you considered the Polar Dane1? Short-ish wheelbase but the shape is super fun and functional.I have. I'm embarrassed to say that I have a sheet of paper with 20+ deck dimensions and it's on there.

satan, I think the Lib Tech Rat Tail might work for you apart from the wheelbase which is way longer at 15”. Someone here had one and really liked it. It was super light too for such a big board. I think it was on par in weight to a normal 8” board or something. Some light trucks on that and you’ll be chilling with a light big boi! :)Man! I thought you were trolling me with libtech but I actually like that shape, money bumps and all. But, yeah, 15" wb would be huge for me

Ive been doing some research...my biggest issue is i dont like a big nose, especially when its bigger than the tail.Nose smaller than the tail? There's lotsa 80's reissues out there, I think most are on modern (double kick) concave. Powell, Santa Cruz, va va v v va v Vision! Um, and lotsa other old school stuff
I wasn’t even looking at Polar but after reading a bunch of posts on here, i have to say the 1992 shape looks promising, looks nice and balanced from a dimensions perspective.
Maybe also check out the Theories Special Delivery shape. Tail is 6.625, nose is 6.375 with a 14.25wb. 9x31.5 overall so you can still post it in here too lol.

For non reisssue there's the Alltimers Fossil Gang and Frog Milac decks. Look like the same shape to me so I'm guessing it's a generic BBS/Generator cruiser shape. I filed this one under redrill the nose longer..

I mainly skate street too, I'm trying to get back into skating pools and vert. but I'm also a big guy so even my street decks are wide and 14.5 minimum WB. I remember back in the late 80's when I started skating, I read in transworld (or someone told me...its too long ago to correctly remember) that your wheelbase should match your shoulder width as thats the most comfortable position for your feet.
also, would love to get a blood wizard, problem with a lot of decks is I live in Australia so we get a limited supply of decks and models. the Black Label ones are cool...I especially like the their 8.88 wide curb vulture or lucero X2...but technically, I can't speak of anything under 9 here ;)
Just tonight Santa Cruz put up a 40% sale on their decks and they have a reissue of Tom Knox discord deck - that thing is very tempting too. Early 90's reissue, so more nose that 80's and more useable, but 9.9 wide...not sure I want to go over 9.25 wide

Thanks for all the info and advice Satan. (Thats a sentence I’ve always wanted to use!)Yeah, it's funny seeing that too.
Yeah you’re right its the early 90’s shapes that i dig, i use to ride HStreet for a while back in the day and always liked the shapes and noses on those. Learnt most of my flip and spinning tricks on those decks. But i never got into nose grinds or slides, or switch for that matter, so i get the new shaped boards are accomodating for all those tricks, but i have no need for it and i find a big nose a little off putting. In fact I have mainly ridden popsicles backwards too and use the bigger nose as the tail.
Anyway enough of my bullshit skating backstory. Yeah I skated my first anti hero deck last night...and i have to admit i really liked it, the kick thing you mentioned makes sense, i did notice i didnt have to look at my backfoot for ollie placement, i could definitely feel it more than on any santa cruz deck ive had.
Also like you i dont want magic carpet on a 159, all those old decks tapered at the trucks so we rode 159’s...and there was a small amount of overhang, but that was helpful for flips.
I got my OJ Super Juice wheels yesterday so i set this up for the meantime...im gonna chill on buying a deck for a bit, but that Grosso or something from black label might end up being the go to...tbh the Grosso shape looks exactly like the 8.8 Lucero shape...he probably borrowed that on his way out!

Yeah by sizing down slightly and lightening up my setup I've definitely been able to skate for much longer and more frequently now. Definitely worth slipping out on some tricks going fast a bit more from time to time.

Nice, good shit. If you're into skating around with soft wheels but also wanna do some tricks, maybe consider some oj keyframes in the future. They're a bit harder at 87a and a good bit slimmer so they end up feeling much more nimble whilst still being wayyyy better on rough ground than a street wheel.
I know its not an exact comparison, but I have a zip zinger that I sometimes mess around on and with keyframes I still got some flat tricks (tres, backside flips, fakie flips, bigspins etc). I tried putting some powell gslides on (slightly softer at 85a, same size, just way wider) and tres, bigspins etc instantly became 10x harder, all back to normal when the keyframes came back on.

That looks like it might work good with Ventures since the nose and tail look super long after redrilling[close]
the nose is at 7.5 and the tail was untouched at 6.75. not chopping this deck up so im stuck with it for now. doesnt seem like it will be much of a problem though
gonna try both 151 HL and the 6.1s, see what i like and stick to it until its time for a new deck. gonna stay around 14.38-14.5 for my serious setups. didnt take me long to see how much easier it is and i feel my sessions can be longer now[close]
Yeah by sizing down slightly and lightening up my setup I've definitely been able to skate for much longer and more frequently now. Definitely worth slipping out on some tricks going fast a bit more from time to time.[close]
for sure. everything is so twitchy on a shorter wb. took my eagle for a spin to see if my bad bearing would seize and with the 14.5 wb, i finally got my mini super juices to bs powerslide and roll away. on the longer wb i feel the turn just wasnt sharp enough to slide without completely stopping. also got a kickflip with the fat wheels which i couldnt do before. im sold on this shit! this will really do me a favor for my skating[close]

This sounds spot on. I was eyeballing the 54-56mm 97a slime ball mini vomits for a soft, normal sized wheel that still slides and isn’t too heavy
(https://i.ibb.co/k35WRLk/CE992502-229-A-46-DE-9-F0-B-53-CF9-FF884-EA.jpg)damn dude i just got this deck recently! super excited to skate it, it looks like a lot of fun. im gonna toss on my ace 66s and 58mm/101a spitfire classics and i think im gonna really enjoy the wheelbase on it as well as that fun shape. i've been trying to learn frontside laybacks and maybe that .25 inch wheelbase increase from my last board will help a bit.

Mob grip
Indy 169
Oj keyframe 54mm
Mini logo bearings
shorty’s allen
Blazer low GT
Deck is short/small wb for me but I can revert and carve nicely and ollie it fine. Just riding around neighborhood, no parks. Wheels feel really great compared to spitfire 80hd Chargers.
Madness has me thinking venture 6.1 eventually to stretch wb on this and throw the 169 on an AH 9.1” shaped eagle.
Treated myself to another fatty. I just couldn't resist.
I think I'm going to get my first pair of Aces, 66's, to put on it.
This will be the longest wheelbase I've ever skated, 15".
And now I'll have 10 completes in my trunk. A nice round number.

I've think I know how but maybe I'm missing an easier or more accurate way.
The only way I can think of finding the centerline is to use the edges of the existing bolt holes, draw parallel lines off those edges, and then measure to the center of those lines. Could line up on front and rear trucks if concave doesn't mess with that.

Damn i really want one. Congrats mate.
I wish they shipped to Australia...or do they? Gotta check it out.
Picked up some 66s and got the Lance set up.
First impressions after 2 sessions. 1 at the park. 1 at a curb spot.
15" wheelbase is huge. It's insane what a difference half an inch makes. In the pool at the park, I like it. But on the street course and in the streets, it feels so slow and heavy. Ollies are shitty and take a lot of effort. Managed a couple kickflips. But forget about tre's. Shinners with this beast hurt more than usual.
On my warpig I can do pretty much all the same flat ground tricks as on my 8.3 popsicle.
I think the pig will still be my preferred fatty.
First time on some Aces. I now understand what it means when people say they are turnier than Indy.
Pay no attention to that blue board on the end. It wants to be included; but is only 8.9. ;D

From a brand I never heard of before called coda. I think they are pressed by Chapman but not sure.
Set this board up today and gave it a quick roll. Feels amazing. I put these trucks straight on from my old board which were silent, then on this one they were squeaky as hell. Board feels higher too. Weird.looks really good nice grip job. That’s a 32” x 14.38” wb? What’s the rear taper to?

I picked this up last spring and had it set up with some Ace 55s and the same F4s. It was quickly relegated to strictly cruiser status, OJ Super Juice and all, I couldn’t pop the thing for shit. Shuffled some gear around (55s back onto my regular 8.5” set up) and threw these Ventures on if for no other reason than both deck and trucks were just laying around at that point. Long story short, I can finally skate this thing the way I originally intended. Neighborhood cruising, ollieing manholes, blasting out of curb cuts and the like. They just repaved most of my neighborhood so the streets are super smooth and the F4 101s are perfect. Probably not worth it to buy Ventures in the appropriate size, I’ll just keep these 5.8s on here a while until I want to use them again elsewhere.

Venture 5.8 (stock w/ bones top washer)
F4 101 56mm classics
I picked this up last spring and had it set up with some Ace 55s and the same F4s. It was quickly relegated to strictly cruiser status, OJ Super Juice and all, I couldn’t pop the thing for shit. Shuffled some gear around (55s back onto my regular 8.5” set up) and threw these Ventures on if for no other reason than both deck and trucks were just laying around at that point. Long story short, I can finally skate this thing the way I originally intended. Neighborhood cruising, ollieing manholes, blasting out of curb cuts and the like. They just repaved most of my neighborhood so the streets are super smooth and the F4 101s are perfect. Probably not worth it to buy Ventures in the appropriate size, I’ll just keep these 5.8s on here a while until I want to use them again elsewhere.[close]
isn't the wheelbase under 14" on that board? i wanted to try it for that reason but never found it[close]

I stay clear of anything less than 31 long...recently i got nostalgic about boards i use to ride in 80’s and 90’s and bought a few reissues...the original Barbee ragdoll was fine as its 31.5 i think...then I tried the Vallely and even the new Winkowski shape...got dangerous pretty quick. Simple things like pushing and then getting your feet back on the tail...a few times my feet went past the tail and onto the ground. Landing tricks, again, back foot too close to the edge of the tail.
Im sure you’ll get use to it...i’m just to old to risk a hard fall just to get use to something.
Yea deeper turns for sure and a mix of stability and squirrely. I thought they would be too big but turns out I love em. More grind space and carve too.Expand QuoteLove the turn on 161's but anything 54 or larger needs risers.

I can't even ride 54s without risers on 151s....
Do the 161s turn better than the 151s?. I know they are slightly higher. just wondering if this gives them a 'deeper' turn?

Picked up some 66s and got the Lance set up.
First impressions after 2 sessions. 1 at the park. 1 at a curb spot.
15" wheelbase is huge. It's insane what a difference half an inch makes. In the pool at the park, I like it. But on the street course and in the streets, it feels so slow and heavy.

On my warpig I can do pretty much all the same flat ground tricks as on my 8.3 popsicle.

I've got 6 hole Indy baseplates that I've used before to redrill, but it only changes it a small amount.
Tried a new way ant it worked pretty good. Took a smaller board and made it the baby spoon and then put bolts through both decks and into a baseplate. Then at the front used the smaller deck's holes as guide to dril new ones. It was super late at night, so I didn't even use a powered drill motor. Just chucked up the bit and turned it by hand. Worked fine.

Indy aftermarkets - the orange ones, they feel harder and a little more responsive than the stock ones -which are so much better than they used to be, but the aftermarkets are still my preference.so. sick.Expand Quotehttps://www.instagram.com/p/B89NZbGFP9z/[close]
btw what 90a aftermarket bushings and how did they change the 169? Any first impressions on the deck? Loving the shape...
i have 66s on my winkowski and they fit pretty dang well, too
I'm getting older and although i do like to spend about 30 minutes a year on a board in the 8" range and rode a 8.6-8.75 for awhile, I find that once they are broken in they feel too small. I got a scram earth ski 9.5" troll deck with 169s and 54mm oj ditch witch. nice and low and after riding 149s and 159s for a decade a decided to size up and they feel great. Chico Brenes borrowed my board at les skatepark and rode it for awhile complementing the pop and he really liked the feel, his 8.75 was nice and light but still felt a lil skinny, 149s on the shaped 8.75 chocolate deck with 52mm spitfires. I got some 9"-9.25" popsicle and shaped decks ready to grip but I'm holding onto this scram deck as long as I can. wide decks seem to save my feet and yeah you should ride a board you have fun on, what big deck are you working with?
14”the biggest of boys

fatty swap out.
I tried, but just can't hang with a 15" wheelbase. Lesson learned. Also the tail was huge on the Lance. And I'm not really a fan of a super fished out rear. I did like the nose though. Hopefully I can pawn it off to someone.
Put this Gonz on. 14.38 WB.
Downsized from a 60 F4 classic to a 56. And ditched the risers.
So far I'm very much liking the change.

I'm 6'1" and weigh 165 and somehow I rarely get wheelbite on very loose trucks. After 27 years of skating I've been through every bushing set up there is and after finally feel comfortable on 78a's. I'm 39 years old so I'm not jumping down stairs or anything, mainly slappies, manual pads and mini ramp. I'd suggest getting risers for anyone else though.

Been skating the Gonz for the last few weeks. Super fun for curbs and other low impact street stuff but I can't flip it for shit. I have 151s on it but about to try it with 55s. It is going to be relegated to cruiser status soon as I haven't landed a good kick flip in 2020 yet...
Anyway, what trucks you rolling with on that?

thats nice...hows the 60mm slimeballs? you got risers on that set up?The Slime Balls are amazing imo - 97a and super fast - good for asphalt and smooth parks as well, can still powerslide just fine on both. I just switched from 1/8" to 1/4" for a deeper turn. I like these ACEs for this 80s theme cruiser - I got my custom Theeves on my normal street cruiser.

I put them on for a minute but wasn't feeling them on that board. That being said, if you put the washers on the outside you should be totally fine (with some slight hotrod). Brown bomber is 8.625" over the front and 8.5" over the back axels.

I took out my Franky Villani football on 55s the other day, felt amazing for 30 mins til it felt too heavy. Skating after long work days sucks. Switched over to an 8.6 SC ever slick on 5.8s and it was more manageable (slated for another 45 mins or so) but just not as fun.

I’ve been feeling similar recently.

Took my 8.75 out for the last two days and realized that I wasn’t as out of shape as I thought. But it was just not as fun
Skating cons right now so would be a big change. I'm always tempted by the look of the kalis tho but I don't think it would be good for me. Thanks for input btw.Expand QuoteThis is a little off topic but I'm wondering if bulkier shoes, like the kalis OG look weird with big boards?[close]
Don't buy Kalis for skating. I got some of the re-issues and they're WAY too fucking stiff. The soles are too thick as well (even when broken in).
Great chill shoes though, if that's what you're going for.
For retro, skate shoes, I'd get some Vans Half-Cabs.

Those both look like fun! What does the Gonz taper to over the back truck? I was thinking about getting one but I only have 55s.Would guess it's about 8.8-9, 55's will work fine on the back, especially with wider wheels. 66's leaves nuts showing. The front might not be that stable with 55's, but it's also a matter of taste.

I know some people were asking if we could add photos of some of the bigger shop deck shapes we have, so today I did that. And added dimensions with wb in the description. It’s a work in progress, if you select the size the corresponding photo should pop up. It’s not perfect but we are trying. Maybe eventually we will have pictures of every shape for every size 7.75-10 but sometimes we get multiple popsicle shapes in one size because the wood shop runs out.

My big set up is a 9’ popsicle and there are no problems with Ollies. Takes a little more effort for flip tricks than my smaller set up, but not a big deal.

A flat deck and short nose just needs extra height ie. risers or big wheels so it is as steep as a modern nose popping it. Also buttonhead Hardware really helps to not overshoot the nose.
The only thing that is important to me is a longer wb so the weight stays behind the front truck when landing.

Fossil here. Yes, I learned to ollie and kickflip pre popsicle. Wheelbase was huge, and ridiculous considering I was 5’.

Like the board just floats around. Confuses me greatly. All of this 360 flip business is really turning into a struggle

Lately I've been wondering about an exercise board. Short wb, lil wider. But definitely heavier, no light trucks. Try not to go too crazy with the wheel size cuz that's where the weight matters most.
Practicing flip tricks on that should make you feel buff when you go back to a lighter setup.

Agree on leg strength.
Saw something with Gonz talking to Tyshawn maybe? Gonz was riding a beemer, or similar and saying once they went back to regular boards how shit would be easier.
Beemers and the like look very fun.
A wider board that looked rad to me was/is the girl/choco couch shape. Simon has a sick one. Not sure what size trucks he uses, maybe 159s? Board looks short. Maybe that Australian Girl skateboards am Rowan? Uses something similar. His board/truck set up look big.
As an aside, I have always stared at trucks when watching footage, which is fucking insane. Sometimes a different skater comes on screen and I first notice the trucks being different, and then look up like ‘so and so doesn’t skate thun....ooooooh’. Mental case.
I’ve also always had a hard time being positive of board truck width. So many skaters are small, the angles that are frequently used to capture images distort things, and.....yeah. Super important.
I have short legs for my height(30 inseam 6’ tall) and anything over 14.5 wb 32.25 length feels like a long board for flip tricks. There is a tipping point for me, I’ve skated plenty of decks that are 9-9.75 that are shorter that I could 3 flip on easier than an 8.25 dlx full shape that has 14.5 and 32.5 length(measures flat). Also kick on the tail plus wheel size changes that response.
I wish I could just set a board up and go but it doesn’t work like that for me.

Originally the indy 169 had a 9.5 inch axle and the 159 had the 9 inch.

ACE 66's are 9.5 but they bend. Indy if you're out there make a real 169 thank you.

The truck to width ratio only applies to popsicles. If you really look, most 10" shaped decks are about 9" to 9.5" at the axles.
I ride a 10" Black Label Lucero with new 169's and it's fine. Most of the old school "pig shaped" boards would carry even smaller trucks that that.

Just set this up - it'll be my cruiser/bigger transition board this year. I'm fulfilling my contractual obligations as a Tired team member by skating this. Need to fulfill my minimum of eight photos and 2.3 minutes of footage.
But seriously:
- Tired Sigar, 9.25 x 32 - Not sure of the wheelbase, but I'll barely be flipping this board. Never skated a shape quite like this, it feels good though.
- Ricta Clouds, 78a, 56mm - Recommended by Roger Bagley, softness recommended by Sundaynuggets. Chose 56s for a decent-sized cruiser while maintaining functionality with tricks, I can't do much on 60+ mm wheels. 78a because where I live is too crusty.
- Independent XI 159 hollows - these were on sale and I couldn't pass them up. I originally wanted the satin white Ace 55s, but they run a pretty penny for me these days. Never had hollows and it was surreal to see the holes in the axle.
- Bones Swiss - used these on a prior setup. One of the bearings is getting rusty (RIP), I never clean my bearings. They're still super fast.
I'll post it again when it's skated and give an update about how it went. It feels comfortable just to stand on, so I've got a good feeling about it.

Ask and ye shall receive. I'm not a pro at cutting grip along the edges, as you can see. I rode it around a bit and the bushings are way too squirrelly, but aside from that it's tits. Kind of a miracle that the front wheels don't stick out.

Crosspost from the considering buying thread, but i'm looking for board options to put Indy 215s on. I'm keen to get a set now they're around again, and want to see what 10"+ boards are out there. Seen the GGIs and the Dogtown Bigfoots, but keen for some other insanity.

In my opinion you can ride them on much more than most people do. 9.5” and up and in general everything with a wide tail.
All kinds of scrams, sc winkowski, even. or heroin eyeballer (very similar shape with modern concave)
A lot of the prime and new deal reissues work for sure.
You just want to ride them as loose as possible because they turn pretty, pretty poorly.

Been riding a Baker 8.475" B16 board and wanted a bigger board/ cruiser that was an inch longer in length and wb (also, at least 9" wide at the trucks). Never really messed with Antihero, but the Green Giant ended up fitting that criteria almost exactly. Really dig the shape and size of this board.

Just set this up - it'll be my cruiser/bigger transition board this year. I'm fulfilling my contractual obligations as a Tired team member by skating this. Need to fulfill my minimum of eight photos and 2.3 minutes of footage.
But seriously:
- Tired Sigar, 9.25 x 32 - Not sure of the wheelbase, but I'll barely be flipping this board. Never skated a shape quite like this, it feels good though.
- Ricta Clouds, 78a, 56mm - Recommended by Roger Bagley, softness recommended by Sundaynuggets. Chose 56s for a decent-sized cruiser while maintaining functionality with tricks, I can't do much on 60+ mm wheels. 78a because where I live is too crusty.
- Independent XI 159 hollows - these were on sale and I couldn't pass them up. I originally wanted the satin white Ace 55s, but they run a pretty penny for me these days. Never had hollows and it was surreal to see the holes in the axle.
- Bones Swiss - used these on a prior setup. One of the bearings is getting rusty (RIP), I never clean my bearings. They're still super fast.
I'll post it again when it's skated and give an update about how it went. It feels comfortable just to stand on, so I've got a good feeling about it.[close]
Damn, that looks great![close][close]
Ask and ye shall receive. I'm not a pro at cutting grip along the edges, as you can see. I rode it around a bit and the bushings are way too squirrelly, but aside from that it's tits. Kind of a miracle that the front wheels don't stick out.

I am going to be joining the club next week. I started on a SMA many many years ago, and I feel its finally time to return to my roots and pass my popsicles on to my boys.I know I am leaning towards 9.5 deck with 8.75ish trucks so I can still flip it fairly easy. There are some absolutely beautiful setups in this thread..so much inspirationI just saw an SMA Natas board that's coming out that's 9 x 31.25 with a 14" wb that might do it for you. Basically a longer, skinnier version of the classic Natas shape. I got an email about it and am sorta loving those dims. Maybe it'll get snapped up by the collector's but I might try to pick one up if they stay around.
Ima cross post this here, seems more relevant

Crosspost from the considering buying thread, but i'm looking for board options to put Indy 215s on. I'm keen to get a set now they're around again, and want to see what 10"+ boards are out there. Seen the GGIs and the Dogtown Bigfoots, but keen for some other insanity.
Anyone running 215s on anything?

Surprisingly, the pop feels like my old B16 Baker board (concave is almost identical too). You definitely feel more planted, because of the the longer length/ wb, but it's not sluggish, or long board feeling at all. I'm 6'3", have a 35" inseam and wear S11's, so It might feel different for someone smaller. As for type of riding... Pretty much street cruising while ollieing over, on and off whatever and trying to grind/ slide low shit. lolhow’s it ride, pop? Pretty small wheels. 169’s fit perfect.

I have literally stared at thousands of shaped boards half the day. I truly wanted to mimic the exact shape of my very first board, which was given to me by hometown hero and east coast legend Mike Bovarnick aka "Gravedigger". I have skated a few Zero decks over the years and never even knew they had cruisers until I saw this. I am pretty damn exited as I dont think I could get much closer.

Holy shit, I haven’t thought about that SMA in decades. That was one of my favorites as a kid. I vaguely remember it being an ever slick or something, with that thick plastic on the bottom. Is that right, or am I misremembering?

The Zero is 1/4" shorter in length and it's wb is 14.25, I think it says 13.75 on the SMA. I wish it had the same sub 14" wb because I plan on pairing it with 6.1 Ventures (at this moment) Haha

The wheels are from an old set-up that was barely used, so I wanted to see how they felt, before going with bigger ones. I'll probably get some 53-56mm 99a Conical Fulls, but I actually like the way these small Slims are feeling. Also, the 169's rear axle just barely sits in from being flush with the deck, so I couldn't even ask for a better fit.
Almost went with the Orange Crusher, but I found out that it has a truck width of 9.0/ 8.8 F/ R and wanted a little bit wider board, so I could play it safe with the 169's. I think the Orange Crusher would be the better choice if you like doing flip tricks, or want the option of running an 8.75" truck, though.
If that works out for you please let me know. This will be by far the widest setup I have used in like 20 or more years, so I will be a mess for a while.

I see a few of you guys on here are running 159s or 6.1s on the Dane 1 and liking it. Thats a 1" difference correct? The deck I just ordered is 9.5 so I wonder if I should try the 5.8 Ventures I already own on it before I buy the 6.1s.. Although the two decks are very different shapes, any thoughts?

I think 159 and 6.1 are both 8.75 axle, so same width and the Dane 1 tapers so the 8.75 axles are nice on that shape. One inch might feel weird on a deck that doesn’t taper, though plenty of folks ride set ups like that and don’t mind.
Might as well try the 5.8’s if you already have them to see how they feel

I think I will try them, Looking at the shape again the rear truck might be pretty flush. The front truck will definitely be magic carpet but I think thats how alot of us ran them back then. I just found a brand new set of 54 mm 97a slimeballs in my box of shame too
Eh... the 5.8 are 8.5” and Dane 1 tapers to just under 9” in the rear like 7/8” I think if I remember.

In my opinion you can ride them on much more than most people do. 9.5” and up and in general everything with a wide tail.
All kinds of scrams, sc winkowski, even. or heroin eyeballer (very similar shape with modern concave)
A lot of the prime and new deal reissues work for sure.
You just want to ride them as loose as possible because they turn pretty, pretty poorly.[close]
Good to know, thanks.
Turn bad? I just imagined they'd feel like bigger 169s. Chuck em on a riser and get busy but that's a shame. You know if the wide Aces or Thunders do any better?

I really like that Dressen shape too. I think there's a Creature board with the same shape. Also a wider Creature that's double drilled. Maybe 14.5" and 14"? Thought about getting one of those but if I'm being picky I'd prefer BBS for a shaped board, the flexiness fits th old school feel. And I really like how I can feel the "spoontail" in the concave.

The dressen that I posted up there is a real similar shape to the zero, 14.25 wb too. There’s a slick version out now. Might fit the nostalgia perfectly?

What companies make shapes similar to Scram? I’m in Australia and having a hard time finding them. What is the concave like on them? Flat, deep, old school?
This is mine from a few pages back and would love similar suggestions. Running 169 Hollows and 58mm Radial Fulls now.

It's not BBS which is a bummer, but Im exited about the shape and concave. And the wheelbase is 14 1/16" so thats a pleasant suprise. Also it is 9 1/4 ish" at the front trucks and 8.6 at the rear trucks so MAYBE my Ventures 5.8s will work out..fingers crossed. Most importantly when I stood on it I know I still will be able flip it. Also I just noticed there is an oil stain on the concrete that looks like that skull sticker. I did not do that on purpose and I am scared now.

Set up a new cruiser. I wanted to support my local during these times, and have a cruiser that's lighter than my old one.

Bones 1/8" risers (I'm going to replace them with 1/4" risers in the future)

It rides and skates pretty nice so far and the wheels actually slide (not as good as a hard wheel), but I was doing stalls on a parking block and tiny chunks of the wheel came off already. Not big enough that it affects its performance, but it's still a little disappointing.

How’s the taper of that deck over the rear with the 169? Nice set up. You tried keyframes? they grind decently so far for me, probably a bit closer to the street wheel than those mini juice but still roll really well.
I have those same mini juice neon green and they’re chipped to shit but still skate fine. Unless you take out like a solid 1/4 of the wheel they keep rolling. Supposedly the super juice are better with chipping but if you’re trying to do tricks and slides getting something in the mid 80 duro range is best.

I wanted to buy smaller, pointier football shape but told myself I should set this back up and finish skating it.
I’ve posted a couple configurations of this board over the past year or so, this one is my favorite so. Highly skateable even with a sub 14” wheelbase.
TFunk 9.1
6.1
101 tablets (about 50mm now)
That TFunk looks nice.I don't think any of the Polar shapes hot rod with 169s. Measurementwise, it's longer than the area over the back trucks but if you look down it's fine. Lots of talk in this thread about running 169s on the Dane1 for eg and those dims are very smiliar. I think you would be fine.
Thinking about picking up a Polar 1991 to go with my Green Giant, but I'm guessing my 169's would hot rod in the rear...?

How’d you like those!? The Zogger and Fink haven’t been talked about as much.
What trucks do you use?
I started skating in the 80s and have a huge spot in my emotions for those shapes. I’ll randomly search for zorlac boards, stared at a Cab dragon for way too long the other day.
I skated a friends Natas reissue awhile back and loved it, it had a rare graphic, that looks more like doodles, was too shy to ask how it was setup but it kickflipped like a skateboard should.
On the other side I had Nolan’s scram board that was made by Assault, and although everything was super dope about the buying experience from Scram (like beyond cool actually), I could not skate that board for shit. Like at all. An ollie was disgusting and dead feeling.
Lots of the Santa Cruz reissue boards look cool and really flat.
Sorry for the wall of gibberish. A semi functional, in terms of riding through the street, ollie, kickflip, 80’s shape is always tops on my list of wants, especially when I’m not skating often, and even more so in these trying times where I’m regressing towards childhood, mentally, at a rapid rate.

I love the Zogger and the Fink! Same, I started around 89/90 and I still have a soft spot for decks like the ones i saw the older kids riding back then. They both have medium concave and decent kicks and skate surprisingly well doing basic street stuff. I would love to ride that same shape but with more concave and slightly steeper kicks. I just set up my Fink again a few days ago and have been having a blast on it. Originally I had Indy 169’s on both Zogger and Fink and they felt good on the Zogger (because of the short tail and no fingers of flat) but the Fink has a longer tail and a little bit of flat so it felt weird to me on Indy’s. I traded a buddy for some Venture 6.1’s and have been riding those on it for a few days which feel perfect on there. They actually turn pretty nicely, though not quite the same as Indy’s or Aces, but I like the stable feeling and they turn well enough.
I have a Santa Cruz Winkowski that I’ve skated a bunch and it’s just way too flat for me to enjoy the feel of. The Fink feels similar to that shape but with more medium concave and the tail angles normally whereas the Winkowski has an interesting double angled tail (Mellow tail from trucks to almost the end, then it kicks up again for the last two inches or so).
I’m riding NFG mfg 54mm “square” wheels on it for street and switching to Oj mini super juice when I want to cruise or when a spot is far away. I’ll post a pic in a bit.
I think the Zogger is my favorite out of all the shaped decks. That thing is inexplicably fun to ride, shape feels good on my feet and is functional enough to spend the day skating street on it without getting bored. I was worried they were discontinuing it because no one has any online or in shops, but Tactics looks like they have one coming soon which means they should hit shops again in the next few months.

On the other side I had Nolan’s scram board that was made by Assault, and although everything was super dope about the buying experience from Scram (like beyond cool actually), I could not skate that board for shit. Like at all. An ollie was disgusting and dead feeling.
Lots of the Santa Cruz reissue boards look cool and really flat.
Sorry for the wall of gibberish. A semi functional, in terms of riding through the street, ollie, kickflip, 80’s shape is always tops on my list of wants, especially when I’m not skating often, and even more so in these trying times where I’m regressing towards childhood, mentally, at a rapid rate.[close]
I love the Zogger and the Fink! Same, I started around 89/90 and I still have a soft spot for decks like the ones i saw the older kids riding back then. They both have medium concave and decent kicks and skate surprisingly well doing basic street stuff. I would love to ride that same shape but with more concave and slightly steeper kicks. I just set up my Fink again a few days ago and have been having a blast on it. Originally I had Indy 169’s on both Zogger and Fink and they felt good on the Zogger (because of the short tail and no fingers of flat) but the Fink has a longer tail and a little bit of flat so it felt weird to me on Indy’s. I traded a buddy for some Venture 6.1’s and have been riding those on it for a few days which feel perfect on there. They actually turn pretty nicely, though not quite the same as Indy’s or Aces, but I like the stable feeling and they turn well enough.
I have a Santa Cruz Winkowski that I’ve skated a bunch and it’s just way too flat for me to enjoy the feel of. The Fink feels similar to that shape but with more medium concave and the tail angles normally whereas the Winkowski has an interesting double angled tail (Mellow tail from trucks to almost the end, then it kicks up again for the last two inches or so).
I’m riding NFG mfg 54mm “square” wheels on it for street and switching to Oj mini super juice when I want to cruise or when a spot is far away. I’ll post a pic in a bit.
I think the Zogger is my favorite out of all the shaped decks. That thing is inexplicably fun to ride, shape feels good on my feet and is functional enough to spend the day skating street on it without getting bored. I was worried they were discontinuing it because no one has any online or in shops, but Tactics looks like they have one coming soon which means they should hit shops again in the next few months.[close]
Thanks for the review(s)!
I have the suspicion that there is something proportionally off/unfamiliar about me setting up the 80s shape, with no risers and 54-56 wheels as opposed to the cellblock III and 60’s. There is some fit voodoo/angles I don’t understand.
Been trying not to fuck with Indy. But the 80s man. So stoked to hear venture worked decent.
The zogger looks super sick, didn’t want to roll the dice having to buy 9” trucks and so forth and then not like it.
Thanks again for the thoughtful response.

My pleasure, glad to help!
For sure, I originally had some 60mm spit Og classics and later 61mm Winkowski oj’s on those kinds of decks as smaller wheels didn’t look quite right, but on a whim started messing around with 53-55mm on the Fink and it actually feels awesome and doesn’t look too weird now that I’m used to it. I’m also riding my trucks a lot looser than I did last year (when I was riding 58-61mm on everything) and now the smaller wheels seem easier to manage with the loose trucks.
If you don’t want to mess with Indy’s the Zogger would probably go well with the bigger thunders. I still have my Zogger and Thunders so I’ll set it up this week and let you know how it feels
Shoutout you two for not taking the truck stickers off.
Would love to try riding both of those
At what point did you decide 1/4” riders over 1/8”?

Both of these options look like they’d work great with some key frames or the like, skating around and looking at shit like the creep I is.

Those Ventures look real nice on that wide board... I'm trying so hard not to get some 6.1s... You might have just broken me....
So I’m about to turn 33 and have skated for over 15 years. I’ve stopped the last few years cause of knee pain, but ready to get back into it. I prefer big boards, fun shapes, etc. like skating pools, parks, and transition.Is this the board?
I bought two decks from Street Plant. One is 8.5” popsicle and one is 9.25” (blends Matt’s H-Street King Size Board (1990) and Mike V’s World Industries Snake Board (1990) but features Modern Dimensions on a Modern Mold).
Is there a truck size that would cover both of these size boards? If so, which size? If not, should I get two different sets of trucks for each board?
I was thinking:
Indy 159s for the 8.5”?
Indy 169s for the 9.25”?
Or hopefully one would cover both?
Thanks in advance, guys!
i reckon with the right wheels you'd get away with 159s on both

Seeking some help with finding a new deck to go with a set of Independent 215s I have. Currently paired them with a Krooked Rat Stick but the nonexistent nose and the small wheelbase make transition skating and ollies less than ideal. Trying to find something 9.5" or wider with a decently sized nose and minimal taper. I've been looking at the Antihero Ol' Yeller, Scram Grave Digger, Scram Fink, and $lave War Pig. Would appreciate some input from anyone who has skated these boards or have deck recommendations they liked skating with 215s.

If I’m riding a popsicle I like board to be maximum the same size as my trucks, but I’ll go down as low as 1/2 in below my truck axle size
For shaped boards I’ll do anything from 1/4 bigger on my trucks than the measurement over the truck mounting holes or I’ll even do trucks the same size as the widest part of the board
It feels great honestly

I recently upgraded to 60 Classics. The wheelbite is a MF so I need some risers. The wheelbite with the 56s was very minimal but it’s unbearable with the 60s.
And the 215s fit it perfectly. It stands up perfectly when in primo and doesn’t hot rod or Frankenstein at all.
I also skate a Cab Dragon with Doom Sayer 159s and the 56s. I occasionally swap them with 58 80HDs.

No, I’m gonna order some risers thru eBay or see if my friends have an extra set. All skate shops I’ve ordered from this quarantine have taken over a week to ship.
And yes, it’s very easy it slappy curbs. Sometimes it feels like simply riding onto a rail laying on the ground. However it’s harder (for me atleast) to control the grind. I normally skate a 8.25 with Ace44s and 56 wheels, and I can feel the extra inch and a half of truck when coming off a curb. When skating a curb on my normal board, it’s a lot easier to slide my back wheels into place for an easy come off when I’m starting to slow down or losing control of the grind. When skating curbs with the AH/215s, there’s a lot more board. Sliding the wheels into place sometimes can completely throw me off balance.
It can get hard to push. I def feel it in my legs the next day after a long sesh. It’s a very heavy board and honestly feels like a chore to carry up hills. However, the momentum you get from Bombing hills or even going down the slightest incline is amazing, unlike any setup I’ve ever skated. I haven’t gotten speed wobbles once. It’s one of those set ups where you don’t realize how fast you’re actually going.
It’s feels just like a mega popsicle deck. I have a pretty solid fakie flip and a couple other basic flatground tricks. I’m only 5’7, 135lbs with an 8 shoe, so a 10in board is giant for me. The largest board prior I’ve skated besides the cab is a 9.1.
It's an addiction. Did I need another setup? Of course not.31 and a half is more like a big beautiful chode
But I can't help myself. Love me some BBB (Big Beautiful Boards).

Love that slave warpig
I had the chance to pick one up at a great price and am kicking myself for not pulling the trigger
Expand QuoteIt's an addiction. Did I need another setup? Of course not.
But I can't help myself. Love me some BBB (Big Beautiful Boards).
I'm still tinkering with it. Think I want to add a 1/8 riser. Its got 56 classic full F4s now. Might change it out to some 58 Conical fulls or 60 Classics.

What’s the concave/kicks like on that curb crusher? Steep?

Yeah, the pig is still my preferred fatty. I think its the more normal tail that just makes it incredibly functional. Treflips like a dream. I'll be getting another one for sure.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteIt's an addiction. Did I need another setup? Of course not.

All 3 of these are bareback wood. So its not flat. But I wouldn't say steep.
Quarantine day drinking and tax returns got me to join the big boys. Haven't set it up yet since I'm trying to stay out of the streets, but I'll probably break down and turn it into liquor store cruiser in the coming days.

Board looks nice (as does that curb crusher set up).
I have some irrational hatred for the ‘liquor store cruiser’ name: tws used to repeat these stupid tropes, this being one, style for miles another, and I just. Hate. It. Really grinds my gears.
I stayed inside for way too long. I am NOT advocating for social closening, nor needless exposure to you or others, but a cruise on less crowded streets really helps the mentals

Completely justified hate for the liquor store cruiser name. Only reason I use that language is just that's the mindset I have to use to justify setting it up to myself in the age of social distancing. We all know the real reason I got it is because I only do bonlesses and slappies.
Also for anyone interested in the grave digger, widths over the trucks are 9" and 9.25" for the front and back respectively, so 169s fit it perfectly.

The pop definitely takes getting used to, but it wasn't impossible. I even got some nollies in haha. I am going to try and see if the pop improves with some old 1/8 risers or no risers next session though. Hopefully the wheels will allow a lower ride even with 58's. Do Ace's shorten the WB by a lot?

So true. I think I could flip a 10" board with a 14.25" WB easier than I could an 8.5" with a 15" WB.This, I could flip a 9.125 Polar Boserio board with relative ease but this one was a nightmare.

What did you like/dislike about it? I'm probably just gonna stick Ace 66 and Spitfire 58mm 99a Classics on it.
Also found a pic of the board from way back then

It’s a perfect mix of transition and street board, adjustable wheelbase is actually useful on this board rather than all the other huge ones
Kickflips feel great on it, lots of meat behind the front bolts and the tail is fanned but not too flat[close]
Thanks, now I just need to find a shop that actually has it in stock. I'd get it from Black Label's site directly but shipping+tax is another $20 or so and it doesn't come with grip[close]
Fuck it, just spend the extra $20 and buy it directly from Label. Last I heard, Lucero was running that shit out of his house and his best bud just died. Throw an OG a bone![close]

Thing is, I'm forcing myself to not set it up (or at least not put trucks on it) until my current board is through so I'm not stuck with a stack of used but good boards. I'm most certain that I'm going to ignore this principle after a week.
Also here's why it never hurts to ask politely for free stuff. It also came with a 9" sheet of Jessup (If you're reading this, thank you John!!)
(https://i.imgur.com/diTZYCn.jpg)
Anyways, here's the deck measurements for anyone interested.
It actually measures just barely at 10.18" instead of 10.25" at its widest point (but I really doubt that's a big difference for a deck this size).
Length is 31.5".
Wheelbase is adjustable, 14.5" and 15".
Tail is 6.875" x 8.75".
Nose measured from the 14.5" WB is 6" x ~7.5".
Nose measured from the 15" WB is 5.5" x ~7.5".
The width across the middle of the back mounting holes is 8.875".
The width across the middle of the front mounting holes with the 14.5" WB is barely 9.75".

Dude, that's so fucking cool. Lucero is one of that last truly good dudes out there. Did he sign that poster for you or is that a print? Either way, makes me want to order that 10" I posted above direct from him, just for respect.

Hi, first post here. I got this set up w/ my stimulus check. It's a bit more of a cruiser board now but I have some other wheels I could put on it if I really wanna try and "skate" it.

Excellent. Is that clear grip tape over the art on top?

I don’t care for G-Slides personally
those spits will surprise you if you ever go out to cruise on em
the 99a 53mm conical fulls have convinced me to avoid buying softies for a long time. would rather just get a bigger size conical full(56+), roll over everything, and not have to worry about having too much grip for slides. those wheels are fast as hell

That madness board look like an 8ballr board ish.
I haven’t had That Scram (fink). I had one with a similar tail/shape. It was sick, really rad quality. Best folks too. Super nice. Anyways, I don’t do inverts it’s skate transition. 99% of the time I’m in a parking lot by myself, quietly hating myself, attempting to do a kickflip or some shit. So the board I had, with bigger wheels and 169s wasn’t exactly a tre flip machine. I hooked up a co worker that wanted to skate. Of course now I want an 80s ish shaped board, and i love their Zorlac influences. I should’ve got like a cellblock riser or something

Girl Kennedy 9.25" couch shape
ace 55
old spitfire classics used to be 55mm w/ bronson g2 (also courtesy of Chromeandflammen)
good question I was racking my brain over this a lot before getting the 55s for the deck.
anyway, the shape does taper, 9.25" is just the widest point at the center, my rough measurements are
8 and 15/16" over the front bolt holes toward the nose
9 and 1/8" over the front bolt holes toward the center
8 and 7/8" over the back bolt holes toward the center
8 and 5/8" over the back bolt holes toward the tail
since Ace 55 have a 9" axle they are pretty much perfect on this board.
Nothing sticking out, wheels almost flush, which I prefer
I initially set it up with Indy 149s which worked surprisingly well but is way too tippy and the magic carpet killed me.
be aware that the nose and tail feel really steep because of the 3 fingers of flat. nothing you can't get used to though.
hope this helps!
Skated the Riky deck for a few days, and I think it better suits my needs as a cruiser (needed a new one anyways).
(https://i.imgur.com/iRbha8P.jpg)
There are three fingers of flat on this deck, and it's been messing with my skating. I tried Ace 66s with 5/8" risers and 58mm Spitfire Classics, and the pop was super light and inconsistent. I tried Indy 169s with 1/4" risers and same wheels, and the performance was only slightly better. I think Thunder 161s would definitely be a better fit, but I don't have any on hand. In addition, the big tail has been messing with my shuvs and the tiny nose has ruined my ability to flip the board.
I'm currently looking for decks that perform well with Aces. Do Heroin Egg shapes work with Aces? Looking for really good and consistent pop.

Still looks good for a tranny board, if that's your kind is thing. Maybe some Ricta Clouds for cruising and Spits for tranny? Then you've got a double-threat.
Seeing some of these boards makes me want to have 2 set ups... One popsicle one shaped
Well I'd love to ride nothing but shaped boards but I'm worried that it'll fuck with me a little. I guess I should stop comparing myself to my fav skaters. After all it is an art.Expand QuoteSeeing some of these boards makes me want to have 2 set ups... One popsicle one shaped[close]
1 regular setup and 1 cruiser is all you need.
I found that having multiple setups for specific skating (ie 1 for tranny, 1 for curbs, 1 for street, etc) always ends up in you only using one of the setups that's good for everything.
Anyone ridden a Zig Zogger? Kinda keen. Really want a Beemer but they don’t make enough.That second beemer that just came out sold out so quickly.

I have one of those and love it. Feels kind of crazy at first, since it’s so short and round, but is super fun and has nice pop. I came from popsicles when I first got it, so it was a drastic jump, width wise. Now I go back and forth between popsicles and wide shaped decks, so it doesn’t feel too weird when I set it up every now and again. As far as trucks go, I last had Thunder 161 on it and it felt great, but Indy 169’s also work nice on it too. It doesn’t feel like the kind of deck where the truck/wheelbase dynamic is a big deal, so pretty much any wide trucks that turn nice would probably feel good on it. I’ve tried Indy 169, Ace 55 and Thunder 161 on it and they were all nice.

I took it on its maiden voyage yesterday afternoon. For the first 30 minutes, I was seriously struggling. Even pushing around was punishing and ollies felt like doing bunny hops on a beach cruiser. I was pretty much ready to pass it on to the next sucker and absolve myself entirely, but then "something clicked" (had second beer). I started pushing harder out of frustration, and that inadvertently taught me that riding super fast into shit makes everything better and won't kill me. I did the longest slap grinds of my life and credit this board with giving me the nerve to just bash into things after over 20 years of apprehensive skating.

somone DMed me about the Trukfit on the girl couch shape and I thought I'd share my measurements for anyone interestedQuote from: larryhagmanExpand Quotegood question I was racking my brain over this a lot before getting the 55s for the deck.
anyway, the shape does taper, 9.25" is just the widest point at the center, my rough measurements are
8 and 15/16" over the front bolt holes toward the nose
9 and 1/8" over the front bolt holes toward the center
8 and 7/8" over the back bolt holes toward the center
8 and 5/8" over the back bolt holes toward the tail
since Ace 55 have a 9" axle they are pretty much perfect on this board.
Nothing sticking out, wheels almost flush, which I prefer
I initially set it up with Indy 149s which worked surprisingly well but is way too tippy and the magic carpet killed me.
be aware that the nose and tail feel really steep because of the 3 fingers of flat. nothing you can't get used to though.
hope this helps![close][close]
Thanks for posting this. Running the Love Seat shape right now and for over the trucks:
Back truck, back bolts: 8.5"
Back truck, front bolts: 8.625"
Front truck, back bolts: 8.875"
Front truck, front bolts: 8.75"
I'm skating it with Indy 149s. The WB is the shortest I've ever knowingly skated at 13.875, otherwise I would run it with Aces.[close]
any carpet ride with the 149s? i hv the Primitive Anxiety Man egg shaped 9.125" 14.25"wb deck. was thinking either pair it with Ace 44s, Indy 149s or Thunder 151s..[close]
I have the Villani Egg which is the same shape setup with some Thunder 149’s. I love it! Skates like much narrower board. I can still flip it fine. No crazy magic carpet feel/look. I run two washers on the inside. Board tapers to about 8.75 at the wheels. Really any of those trucks would work well. Thunder 151’s would be the most precise fit width wise. I wish Ace had an 8.75 axel truck.
(https://i.imgur.com/hnOOED6.jpg)Slight magic carper over the front of the Love Seat but the back truck is basically flush. 159s looked too wide for it to me and the 149s look and feel great. I actually just swapped them out for some ace 44s with extra washers last night so we'll see how they do as well.
Faulk! Looks like a tech deck. Would love to give that a spin even though I highly doubt the functionality of a 10“ popDo you question the functionality of an XL shirt or size 15 shoes.

It’s actually great! I was worried that the length and wb would mess me up as I’m used to riding shorter boards, but it surprisingly feels like I have a lot of control with the extra length. Reasonably steep kicks with very little flat and medium concave. Has great pop!

Sick shape. Thanks for the details folks.
And FI that truly shows the flexibility of range w/44s. I’ve got mine on an 8” ps stix, working great. Really hope they don’t change the size
How's the pop feel with Aces? Girl couch decks had pretty big fingers of flat iirc

That thing is a behemoth! The deck is making 159s look like 139s, or something.

Amazing. I think I'll try one of their boards to replace the 10" popsicle at some point. The shape must cut down on the weight enough to make it more skateable.

Riding pretty much exactly the same setup atm.
The leftover skateboards clone of this scram 90s.
Sams shape and dims on 169 and ex 58mm f4.
Love it!
Do any of you guys keep a popsicle in your lineup or do you just ride big boy setups exclusively? I find myself leaning more toward my 9.5 than my 8.38 popsicle lately even though I mostly skate street.

Same. I skate pretty much only street and ride a popsicle, but am slowly shifting to using my bigger set ups more and more often because they are so fun. I do mostly the same tricks on both, give or take but usually switch back and forth depending on what feels good. Oddly, I get a lot more mileage on my big set ups because I switch decks a lot and reskate each one three or four “seasons” whereas I tend to ride my pops all the way through without switching.
Not sober, hope that made sense haha

And I now have 12 setups. ::)
This one was my excuse to get some 6.1s.
14" wheelbase. I was scared. Never skated anything this small. Well I'm sure I have back in the 80s or 90s before I knew about wheelbase. Turns out, I really like it. Instead of feeling cramped; I feel spring loaded. Its quick and fun. Was the most hesitant about how it would feel in the pool at the park. A little squirrelly on a couple re entrys; but not as bad as I thought it might be. Kind of squirelly on landings in general. Just takes some getting used to. By the end of the weekend; I'm in love with this thing. It might just replace my "normal" board.
On the topic of the Ventures, damn these things are high. I feel like I have a riser pad on. But because of that, I'm able to have the trucks almost wobbly loose and not getting much wheelbite. Running all stock on the bushings; and they feel fine.
54 Conical fulls.

It won’t make any difference if you find the right shapeI do have 14.125 wb, but I do have Ventures on it which brings it out quite a bit.

Right here with ya. Used to be the easiest, now they are not.
I cannot do them standing still. Rolling is way easier. I wish I could help, because I know the pain well. I like a pointy tail, and if I haven’t been doing them recently then a truck like ace/Indy/venture hi. Helps me get under and scoop it (this cannot be true, but whatever).

Alright another Dane 1 post coming...at 6'5 im more worried about the length that wheelbase. that deck is shorter than my patience
How tall are you Dane riders? Im three weeks into riding mine (Thunder 161 and 54mm conicals) and really having fun. Tricks like kickflips are actually been easier (although maybe not higher) than they have been on the 8.5 with 14.5 wheelbases. It does feel a bit short however for my frame; I'm 6'2".
I met a dude at the park also riding one, he was a few inches taller than me and killing it.
Im really having fun so im pretty sure I will buy another but I was hoping for any reflections on the short wheelbase of the board.
yeah I’m 6’4” and a half and out my Dane 1 to rest for a bit. Had it w 169’s and 54 keyframes and 54mm conicals. Funny you say that about kickflips but after jumping on a 8.75”/14.5”wb popsicle I just forgot how to flip the Dane. The pop just seems so much more predictable on a pop. Only kick “flips” and minimal at that. Probably just getting used to eithr/or but I don’t know. Ran out of room quick on the Dane, feel cramped and dunno about the tail. You use risers w the 161?

Sounds like a nice setup. I plan on using Venture 5.8s with double inside washers but if they are too narrow I will move up to 6.1s.

This super ripper skates that board with the 5.8s. I think someone mentioned that Simon skates it with 159s (6.1 equivalent) so sounds like you are on it. Those things look fun

With the way it tapers, it'll take whatever kind of trucks. 5.8s will definitely be good. I switched to the 55s because I have some event wider boards up next, but anything with an 8.5"-ish axle up will work with it.

Yes, 169s. Aftermarket red 88 conical bushings. Turns good. The wheelbase was advertised as 14.75. But when I measured, it's more like 14.625. This thing is more of a coping crusher than curb for me.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteIt's an addiction. Did I need another setup? Of course not.

I need to get my hands on that krooked beemer 2 pure evil
I had one of the couch shapes last year with thunder 151s. I snapped it quick but it felt amazing while it lived.
Since then I had been on 8.125 boards but I recently got a pair of 169s and I’m skating them with an 8.62. I want to get a deck that works better with these trucks and I was thinking of that Heroin Egg or a Drehobl deck. Anything that’s not too crazy shaped and doesn’t taper too much in the back and has medium to steep concave. Any suggestions?

Wood quality is significantly better now. It pressure cracks fast, but it doesn't affect the deck performance/durability.

I loved this one and it’s got steeper concave and kicks. It’s 8.8 so 169’s should feel fine on it (I was using Ace 55’s on it when I rode it last and those were awesome)

2 things I don't like...its too short and my grip job didn't turn out how I imagined it.
although I had buyers remorse, during my first session with it, I managed to pop pretty big ollies, by my standards. We started piling up obstacles and ended with highest ollie at 57cm (22 inches); which for me is the highest in the last year and half since starting up slating again.
I'm gonna try putting 159's on it and see if it feels any different

good question I was racking my brain over this a lot before getting the 55s for the deck.
anyway, the shape does taper, 9.25" is just the widest point at the center, my rough measurements are
8 and 15/16" over the front bolt holes toward the nose
9 and 1/8" over the front bolt holes toward the center
8 and 7/8" over the back bolt holes toward the center
8 and 5/8" over the back bolt holes toward the tail
since Ace 55 have a 9" axle they are pretty much perfect on this board.
Nothing sticking out, wheels almost flush, which I prefer
I initially set it up with Indy 149s which worked surprisingly well but is way too tippy and the magic carpet killed me.
be aware that the nose and tail feel really steep because of the 3 fingers of flat. nothing you can't get used to though.
hope this helps!

Nice! How do those Oj’s slide? I have some 56mm 101 mini combos that I thought would slide are a lot stickier than I thought. Curious how the 99 are because oddly enough my F4 99a’s always slide better than the 101’s I’ve tried. Wondering if it’s the same with ojs

They actually slide good I heard people complaining about them being too grippy but IMO they feel very similar to the spitfire F4 99a I just switched from.

It's the widest board i've ever owned by a long shot, but the shape feels tiny. the aces pull it in super tight, i don't know if i like that yet, pretty keen to get a proper skate in on it[close][close]
ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA HOW WIDE THIS COUCH SHAPE IS OVER THE TRUCKS? WONDER IF I COULD SWING 44'S OR 149'S ON IT....

I'm lowkey gonna try to start skating smaller boards again but I've been on a 9 for like 3 years now and anything smaller feels so wrong at this point[close]
I have a couch/powerslide shape (G048) like lysdexia (clever username, btw) has that I'm about to set up once my Indy 159s show up. I have 149s that could work... but may magic carpet a little in the front, but not so much in the back.

A way to minimize hot riding or magic carpeting that I'm going to try with my 149s/159s is either putting the 2 washers on the outside or the inside of the wheel to pull in the wheel or push it out to look more flush and see if that works out.
Here's photos with indy 149s for reference! Hope these help ya, alongside the actual measurements mentioned above.

Looks like a good time
I skate mostly street with 1/4 risers and 58 mm wheelsyeah good call. Want a board with wheel wheels. Seems like this dane1 gonna be relegated for cruiser w keyframes. Use the conical full on the maybe popsicle I “may” try to learn something on and curb stuff
Do the 56 you’ll get used to the pop feel fast and they just feel faster and roll over more shit
Never thought I'd be the "quiver" of boards kinda guy... but I just set this up for when I don't feel like getting ATV on my regular 8.5" popsicle or cruising on my tiny zip zagger.
- Chocolate Tershy Powerslide/Couch (G048) shape: 9.25" x 32" x 13.875"
- Mob Grip
- Indy 159 Hollows (standard baseplate not forged)
- Bones Easy Streets 55mm worn down to 51mm maybe?
- Bones Reds
- Indy hardware
Biggest board I've tried but this beast looks like so much fun to dork around and barge some curbs, tranny, etc. with! I have rails I may throw on if I feel like going full slappy with it. Lol
Will share my thoughts once I catch a session or two!

One of the best things about skating an 9"+ board is, how easy flip tricks are when you go back to a "regular" board.
I went down from an 9.8" Gonz to an 8.5" popsicle this week. Flip tricks feel amazing. Def feels a little strange on Slappies and transition though. All in all, mixing it up is good. I might rotate from now on... Different boards seem to bring out different things in my skateboarding. It is a journey I'm digging.

Xen- set up looks fun (and I’m not a street plant fan). Full dbl drilled....can’t remember when I’ve seen that.
The Cory Bellingham part is a favorite. Simon Bannerot, and Rowan Davis (rowbagz ig) both skate the love seat shape (I think) and they do really well/look like they are ‘just skating’ and not ‘skating a big board’ of that makes any sense.

The bulk of this is on the Phawt/ Cardiel shape... I keep coming back to this to see what's possible on a 9"+ board... Everything he does looks so good compared to on an 8.25" or whatever he rode before....He kills that. Didn’t realize that deck is 9.1” and Length: 32.625". Wheelbase: 14.25". He makes it look way shorter.

Good question, I don’t think he’s really tall, maybe 5’10”? Maybe?
It’s a really fun shape. Had 2, huffer, passed them both along eventually. Didn’t feel like i could break it, or at least not easily. I had 151 hollow lights when it was set up the best. Also tried it with 169s, 159s. Treflips were a bitch, for me, everything else was great. And dumb fun to just push around on.

Amazed by all of this, but in particular, the 169s across the board. If they all ride really differently, it says that I should stop staying that truck size is the biggest factor in how a setup will feel.
I think I remember that this is just a portion of the quiver. Is this your preferred size range? I repeat myself a lot (I’m older), and one of my repeated mumblings is that I love how big boards look, and feel, but get bummed when I can’t kickflip etc. Are some of these flippers?
I have so many more questions

Amazed by all of this, but in particular, the 169s across the board. If they all ride really differently, it says that I should stop staying that truck size is the biggest factor in how a setup will feel.
I think I remember that this is just a portion of the quiver. Is this your preferred size range? I repeat myself a lot (I’m older), and one of my repeated mumblings is that I love how big boards look, and feel, but get bummed when I can’t kickflip etc. Are some of these flippers?
I have so many more questions[close]
Yeah just a portion of my quiver, let’s say 20%. :-X This is for sure my preferred size range now as I’ve gotten older but I started out on a 8 in 1997. 8.38 has been my “normal” size for they last decade but I’ve had a fish shaped big board since before I was riding 8+ again.
8.25 popsicle, zig zagger, zip zinger, and a moose fish shape blank (I painted a skull on it even tho it wasn’t 1989 anymore) with trackers that didn’t turn and g bones. That was my quiver in my early 20s.
I’ve been skating sporadically the last two years cuz of work/life drama but I’ve kickflipped them all except that heroin, natas, and old yeller shaped AH. Not cuz I can’t, I don’t think, I just haven’t tried yet.
As far as feel goes...for sure they all feel different even tho I stick to a certain formula for my big boards. Bigger the board smaller the wheel.
The natas is like an 80s setup with bigger wheels even tho they’re F4s. Everything else is in the 50-54mm range, mostly. A lot have 51s since they didn’t have 50mm when they launched and that’s when I got most of them.
Square tails like p/reissue SCs and that moose are totally different when it comes to popping. I gotta move my back foot forward a little bit to get any pop on those long ass tails. I haven’t had a bbs board with a tail like that they all seem to be modern feeling if you understand me, lol.
I’m not good at most flip tricks. No frontside flips, inward/outward shit, switch shit, nollie. I’ll throw out a 360flip if I battle it but I hate that.
I grew up skating ledges but I’m not flipping in and out like Owen Wilson

14.5 wheelbase 32 Inches even for the length. It’s super sick being wide and short. I like it more than the orange eagle and most AH boards are usually longer The bigger they get. The 9 eagle popsicle is 2.5 shorter than their longboard 15in wheelbase, crazy
Everyone needs to lay of the stickers a lil bit.
I know stickers are cool but maybe we need to start a sticker thread so people can show them off without ruining their board.
When did a Labor sticker become the new Supreme sticker? Pretty sure they don’t sell zero or girl.

That Worrest with the big nose and the more rounded off tail looks really fun. I have never seen a shape like that without a square tail.

Tried a couple of those today and ended up on my ass. Gotta get used to the slickness. First session on the Aces I’ll confess I put my bones hards in them. Nut flush. I weigh 240 and that makes them feel good. The board deff turned better. Like I could dig in pretty far before I got wheelbite. I love that surfy feeling. Pop was good. Flips went ok. But I couldn’t get out of a slappy crook to save my life. I think I just need to get some grooves in them and work on it more. Didn’t miss the Indys at all.
Hmmmm...

I was curious about this too. I got a Creature Milton Martinez around Christmas that’s 8.8x33 15” WB. Steep kicks too. I’m tall but just do not have the leg muscle to make this fun to ride so it’s been sitting in the pile.Expand QuoteI have short legs for my height(30 inseam 6’ tall) and anything over 14.5 wb 32.25 length feels like a long board for flip tricks. There is a tipping point for me, I’ve skated plenty of decks that are 9-9.75 that are shorter that I could 3 flip on easier than an 8.25 dlx full shape that has 14.5 and 32.5 length(measures flat). Also kick on the tail plus wheel size changes that response.
I wish I could just set a board up and go but it doesn’t work like that for me.[close]
I’ve got short legs as well, so always looking for short wb/short length (14”/31.5”).
I saw Chico redrilled a board, giving an old school shape more nose/shorter wheelbase, and I think about trying this on some scram boards (love the company, but....I’m never gonna invert, I just want something sick looking to pedal around town on and see the sights, whilst attempting some flat ground). I wonder how quickly the redrill goes haywire, makes the board unstable etc...

The other day I realized I had a pair of mini logo 8.75 trucks sitting around with a 6 hole baseplate so I bolted the extended baseplate holes into the front deck holes and drilled the other four holes out, bringing the WB down to 14.75. I left the mini logos on and ended up getting just over 0.6” shorter axle to axle WB vs. the original WB w Thunders. Kicks are still steep but the board is way easier to pop.
Where I see redrilling potentially going wrong is just taking it down too far. I had to tighten the kingpin nuts a quarter turn to get rid of some instability with the new WB and the overall dimensions of the deck would get real weird with much more than 1/4” decrease which I imagine would be the case with a lot of other decks. I definitely had to think about front foot position a bit more when riding. I’d need to look but I’m wondering if decks that come double-drilled are shaped so the holes straddle a sweet spot or if the dimensions kinda favor the front or back holes.

Expand QuoteRicky Oyola on traffic slappy theories 9.25[close]
I'm curious -- what does traffic's "slappy" shape really mean? Just that it is 9.25? I was looking at their website earlier to see what width options there were and saw slappy as one with no other qualifier as far as I could tell
First time posting, recently been lurkin hard. Just started skating again at 29 years old, last time was probably 14 and I never really learned any tricks. basically a total beginner, but been following skateboarding forever and pumped to get back on it!
Wondering what any taller guys find as a comfortable wheelbase, I'm doing a lot of experimenting because I'm 6'7" (legs aren't crazy long for that height, but long).
I'm currently riding a Black Label Lucero 9.25 cruiser (15ish WB) with Thunder 151's and OJ super juice 60mm. I get that the big wheels will make a difference too. and a Polar Dane shape (14.125 WB I believe, and new Venture 6.1 and 58mm spitfire.
I'm honestly still working on slappies a little and trying to dial in an Ollie, with lots of just cruising and pushing on both boards.

yeah I’m with not overthinking it as well. But sometimes my boredom and gear likeness gets me wanting to try a variety of thing. But I just grabbed a 9” shop popsicle not really caring about the longer wheelbase (clutch V10 Squarish- round shape, prob better for transition which I prob won’t ride w it).

At this point, don't worry about it too much. I'm 6'3" and am skating a 14.5", but my last board was a 13.875". There are so many other factors and it's really easy to drive yourself totally batty with gear madness. Different shit works for different people just based on what you like to skate, how you skate, and your aesthetic preferences. Just try things you think look cool and you'll figure it out.
Here is a thread for tall-person gear madness, it gets bumped occasionally: https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=109009.0 (https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=109009.0)

Thanks! Yeah, 149’s probably would feel good on this too. I grabbed the 159’s because I’ve been switching back and forth a lot between popsicles and shaped decks from 8.5-10.25 but sometimes the bigger set ups felt clunky so I figured 159Ti would fit that range well and also feel a bit lighter.

Killer setup, spot looks very fun.
would thunder 148’s work on a 8.9/9 football/egg shape? Or is it pushing it a bit too much for that size truck.151 is the best for that, 149 would be pushing it too much imo.
That spot does look ridiculously fun. It would be cool to see some pics or footage of it. I just stared at it way to long trying to figure different things that I would try on it. That setup is dope too btw.

I'm kinda interested in the overhang convo, I've heard more people doing underhang (bigger trucks than deck) I have some 149s' (8.50) indys on a 9.25 deck, the overhang is kinda nice, planned on putting cruiser wheels on it but I'm lazy, just left the 58mm spitfire classics, board feels really good and turns super well if you lean into that extra wood, but the skinner truck scares me on grinds sometimes if I think about it. flips well and kinda leans out of primos, ever smoked primos? that shit was fucked

I have only ran Ventures (except having indys for a week or so) so I'm not much help there. I think spreading the wb would be the best bet though.

Go with what feels comfortable. With your height, wheelbase will make a difference. I'm 6'1 and I ride a Lucero 9.25 with 15 wb. I also have a 10 inch I like a lot. The wide boards aren't great for flip tricks, but they're great to ride, especially for big bros.

Just unusual. I am not a wood specialist, especially not with laminates but I know oak as potentially heavier than maple, less likely to fluctuate with moisture, so maybe not getting soggy or warped as easily. I would just like to see how it performs compared to the maple.
Edit: does anyone know more about the polyvinyl resin they use compared to epoxy? Isn’t that just glue?

169's will fit a 9" popcicle perfectly. If it's a shaped board, I'd recommend checking the width at the back truck. May have to downsize to 159's depending on that measurement.
As far as wheels, everyone is going to say Spitfire. If you want to continue with softer 60mm., check out Slimeballs and Rainskates.

Feels a lot squirrelier than my 8.75 (14 wheelbase) when actually riding and carving, but feels incredibly stable when pushing. I've yet to ride it faster than a hard push and carve down flat streets, but tomorrow I'll know more.

Did not expect to love this board so much, a friend of mine put me onto the shape. Now I’m stressing that I won’t be able to replace this one already, seem to be gone in Aus. Doesn’t feel short at all, and expect to hate this thing in the bowls but it’s pretty much perfect, can’t explain why.
this thing is MIA in Brooklyn area :(

New favourite whip! Unfortunately its not available anymore, but I still have 2 of them left.
Anybody know a similar shape? Or does BL use the shape on a different board?

I run 169 Indys and they fit flush across the board. Does taper a bit over the back but not too much. Outside that my shits vanilla, Lock In Spits, some cheap Indy bearings and Jessup.
I'm 6'4" with size 13 feet and I can only skate well on 7.75" boards.
Wider boards feel like dead weight and slow tre flips suck.

Yeah the graphics hide the curves!I have the same graphic but the loveseat shape in the on deck circle. My last loveseat felt dead after 2-3 sessions. Sucks because I absolutely love the shape, but the wood was junk.
Just got done with a long session on it...fuck its good! So much pop and although my flips are shit, they were easier with this for sure.
Bad news is i think i have some stress cracks on tail bolts...i can see it through the grip, but nothing under the deck...so might just be superficial...for now

I was hoping someone in here could help me. I know it's odd, but I got really hyped on the board from this stop motion clip and I want to set up something similar.. Just short fat and wide with non-huge wheels.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CCO7HDYBDjf/
Basically I'm looking for a board that match these criteria:
- Under 10" wide (8.5-9.5" would be ideal)
- Under 31" length (under 30" would be ideal)
- At least a little bit of concave
- Old school shape with square tail, flat or flat-ish snub nose and with the widest part of the board being in the middle of the board, not towards the front foot.
-Not a Powell as I had another one recently and wanna try something new.
If I could find something with a continuous line as edges (eggish shape but snub nose and square tail) that would be great. The best I've found is this Madrid board but the tail looks clumsy as hell, I wanna find one with more taper and even smaller if possible.
Basically I just want a smaller more tapered, slightly skinnier version of this:

It looks super fun but a little big for what I'm looking for. A 9" Zogger would be great.
@Deekay You should also check out some Natas shapes. I think that board is based on roughly what he skated in that Streets of Fire part that the animation was an homage to. There's also a few 101 reissues that look similar to that Blockhead Streetstyle that seem to be hanging around in inventory at places that carry shaped boards heavily. I'm thinking particularly of the Challenger board. Also, re:limited runs - you like a weird shape so you might have to kinda stock up and hoard. That's Big Boy shit.

I think I might go with this and re-paint the graphic. Nice with a little nose (although low-ish and short still which is cool) and concave to help with tricks but still keeping the same vibe. I've set up old school boards before and not ending up using them that much because they suck to skate, this might be a decent trade-off... Plus it's available in Europe so I don't have to wait 6 weeks for it to get here during these weird times.

I’ve skated one of these and it’s a good shape. Just wanted to give you a heads up that the tail is pretty damn steep. But if you’re good with that then go for it!
I came here in hopes that some of you guys and girls with big cruisers could help me out. I am looking to get my brother a birthday cruiser somewhere between 9.5-10.5. He just had his first baby with his wife so I think this is his way of preserving the child in him. He wants an old style feel to it, where the tail is up and the nose is flat. He has been asking for a while. I ride street on an 8.3 popsicle deck so cruisers are not my area of expertise. My questions for this thread are:
-Are there any brands in particular that you enjoy riding?
-My brother is looking at Santa Cruz and Powell Peralta decks, how are their cruisers?
-Should I be looking at larger sized skateboard trucks from indy and ace or should I be looking at long board trucks for a cruiser like this?
-A lot of people are saying OJ Plain Jane 54mm are the way to go for a cruiser set up; is there any competing wheels that you guys enjoy a lot?
Thank you in advance for any input. Hopefully I can make him happy for his bday.

The Santa Cruz and Powell has a nice feel to them and would be good choices if you think he will like the graphics and overall vibe.
You should definitely go with bigger sized regular trucks like Indy or Ace, it feels heavier enough already because of the size and longboard trucks would probably make it super fuckin heavy and hard to do anything else than rolling and turning on.
As far as wheels go, in my experience the wheels make a huge difference in the overall feel along with truck size since the deck is so wide. Will he do a lot of tricks or mostly "use it as a longboard" i.e. just roll around?
With a 9.5-10.5 deck, 54mm will be a little small, but it works if he wants to do a lot of tricks. I have a 9.5 old school shape board with Ace 44 and Ricta clouds 54mm that feels great and you can pretty much skate it like a regular 8.5 board with the exception of flip tricks being harder, but I had 56mm clouds before and they felt great too. Maybe go with 56-58mm plain janes? I'd definitely recommend the Ricta clouds along with the plain janes, although it does take away a little from that purist old school feel.
If I were you I'd try to figure out his main objective with the setup. If he wants to actually skate it and be able to do tricks, I'd go Indy 149/159 or Ace 44/55 with Plain janes/Cloud 56-58mm and risers. If he wants it to have a real old school vibe and mainly look cool, I'd go the wider option trucks or even one up and vintage looking 60mm wheels like Kryptonics or something similar.

Right now he is looking at santa cruz, powell peralta, and scram decks. He is definitely just going to be rolling around on it. Around his neighborhood for the most part. He most likely will not use it for tricks, especially not flip tricks. Still, I am going to look at larger sized indy and ace. That will definitely give him the feel he is looking for. Unless there are any other good brands for a cruiser of this style that you can recommend. I'll definitely look into some vintage style wheels also. I think that is the right direction for what he wants. Thank you for the info!Expand QuoteExpand QuoteI came here in hopes that some of you guys and girls with big cruisers could help me out.

Admittedly, I have only just seen this thread and not browsed it too extensively, but are there any >9" popsicles? I have been skating 9" for a few years now and it has been a revelation with my US15 feet, however I think I’d actually benefit from a 9.25" or even 9.5". Never seen any popsicles at those sizes, and I cannot have any other shape for skating street and park.

Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteI came here in hopes that some of you guys and girls with big cruisers could help me out. I am looking to get my brother a birthday cruiser somewhere between 9.5-10.5. He just had his first baby with his wife so I think this is his way of preserving the child in him. He wants an old style feel to it, where the tail is up and the nose is flat. He has been asking for a while. I ride street on an 8.3 popsicle deck so cruisers are not my area of expertise. My questions for this thread are:
-Are there any brands in particular that you enjoy riding?
-My brother is looking at Santa Cruz and Powell Peralta decks, how are their cruisers?
-Should I be looking at larger sized skateboard trucks from indy and ace or should I be looking at long board trucks for a cruiser like this?
-A lot of people are saying OJ Plain Jane 54mm are the way to go for a cruiser set up; is there any competing wheels that you guys enjoy a lot?
Thank you in advance for any input. Hopefully I can make him happy for his bday.
P.S. For reference, we were looking at this deck

Is this an ok cruiser deck?[close]
The Santa Cruz and Powell has a nice feel to them and would be good choices if you think he will like the graphics and overall vibe.
You should definitely go with bigger sized regular trucks like Indy or Ace, it feels heavier enough already because of the size and longboard trucks would probably make it super fuckin heavy and hard to do anything else than rolling and turning on.
As far as wheels go, in my experience the wheels make a huge difference in the overall feel along with truck size since the deck is so wide. Will he do a lot of tricks or mostly "use it as a longboard" i.e. just roll around?
With a 9.5-10.5 deck, 54mm will be a little small, but it works if he wants to do a lot of tricks. I have a 9.5 old school shape board with Ace 44 and Ricta clouds 54mm that feels great and you can pretty much skate it like a regular 8.5 board with the exception of flip tricks being harder, but I had 56mm clouds before and they felt great too. Maybe go with 56-58mm plain janes? I'd definitely recommend the Ricta clouds along with the plain janes, although it does take away a little from that purist old school feel.
If I were you I'd try to figure out his main objective with the setup. If he wants to actually skate it and be able to do tricks, I'd go Indy 149/159 or Ace 44/55 with Plain janes/Cloud 56-58mm and risers. If he wants it to have a real old school vibe and mainly look cool, I'd go the wider option trucks or even one up and vintage looking 60mm wheels like Kryptonics or something similar.[close]
Right now he is looking at santa cruz, powell peralta, and scram decks. He is definitely just going to be rolling around on it. Around his neighborhood for the most part. He most likely will not use it for tricks, especially not flip tricks. Still, I am going to look at larger sized indy and ace. That will definitely give him the feel he is looking for. Unless there are any other good brands for a cruiser of this style that you can recommend. I'll definitely look into some vintage style wheels also. I think that is the right direction for what he wants. Thank you for the info!Expand QuoteExpand QuoteI came here in hopes that some of you guys and girls with big cruisers could help me out.

Too long for a cruiser. Less nose will equal more fun.
Late 80s boards were always around 31” long. Check this shit out:
https://socalskateshop.com/Dogtown-Eric-Dressen-Re-Issue-Deck-Black-Stain-Black-Fade-10x3075.html#!?cc_decks=103347&c=cc_grip-tape
I really like the Dog Town style over Powell and SC. Also Eric Dressen is awesome, but it really doesn’t matter the brand but try to keep the deck length under 31”. Totally different feel.[close]
Did not even put the length into consideration. We are now checking out the same style but under 31 inches. Thank you![close]
Scram leaf. There’s tons of stuff that would fit the bill tho.
That blockhead limited board posted in here is rad.
That dogtown bigfoot board also look sick, dogtown has a lot of stuff that looks decent, surprisingly (to me).
If it’s only about the turn: ACE, imo. ACE also wheelbite less, for me.
Slimeballs were the shit back then, I haven’t tried em in modern times. Plain janes (key frames) are really plush, and I recommend them, but for my next cruiser I might do something more like slimeballs (or a similar ‘Old School’ wheel formula).

Hi everyone!
I'm new to all of this 9"+ board stuff. I've only had a madness 9.0 popsicle board with some 55aces. I sold both and bought venture 6.1s (I'm riding a 8.625 shaped board at the moment) and I'm thinking about buying a polar Dane1 board. Is the truck width good?
Btw in my country it is really hard to find these wide boards. I was only able to find a polar dane1 from the spring 2020 drop. Is it going to make a difference? :-\ :-\

does it make a difference (big vs small trucks)? I know that there will be a weight difference. After seeing all of this I'm kinda sad that I sold my 55s. And also is it still fun to skate it with 159s on? I think that 1991 shape would suit my trucks better and I'll wait and get used to big boards until I buy a dane1.

You can probably fit this with some oj mini super juice(or any wide/asymmetrical wheels) and wheels wont hotrod or poke out much. I have a similar scram with 169s and mini juices, it’s the best cruiser and I can still do a lot of tricks on it. I do feel like the new wheelbases on scrams are meant for ace’s tho.
But that leaf 2 graphic is sick, kinda want what you are going to set up. What wheels you thinking?

I had the original Daniel Shimizu Egg board. I remember the nose was shorter than the tail by a considerable amount, I ended up skating it with the graphic backwards after a while. Looks like they've swapped it around now. Pretty sure I still have that board in the UK somewhere.

It's a very good plank and I'm excited to try a flatter egg shaped 9+ board.
Just picked up an Anti Hero 9.1 Orange Crusher. Anyone tried one of these?
Not sure if I should throw Ace 55 or 66 on it.
The orange crusher is nice. I paired mine with 169s and it was the perfect sized up popsicle board with just a touch of shaped nose. I got another one new in shrink but I think I’m gonna skate something else inbetween.

I have one that I rode on 55’s last August. Still got a lot of life in it so I think I’m going to set it up again on 169 Ti some time soon.
Felt good with 55’s but I think 169’s will pop a little bit better for me on this

Skated this deck/truck combo for the first time yesterday and then again today. I like it. The steep kicks take a little to get used to but ultimately make me pop a little higher. Being a big dude I like a stiff deck anyway. :o The thunders feel good but I think it’s because I’m using a barrel bottom bushing. They take away that immediate wheelbite feeling of thunders. I’m coming from Indy 169s and the thunders are more stable and give me more confidence and they’re still surfy enough. I can still do slappies, skate the bowl, and do my limited flatground and ledge tricks.
How do barrel bottom bushings fit on thunders? I considered but always thought they would be a little off due to size.

It started as stress cracks after the second session. I have a mate that use to get girl decks and always get stress cracks...so i ignored it on mine. But after about a week the stress cracks got bigger and actually broke through the grip tape. By the end the stress crack was about 6-7inches long, relatively deep and i could feel the tail getting soggier and flexing as soon as id go down to pop.I feel you. Thanks for the info.
If i was a smaller lighter guy i could probably keep skating for a while longer...but at 6’3” 200lbs, it was struggling carry me

The concave is a little more modern that the OG but it's still pretty flat and I'm not mad at having an upturned nose. Shoutout to 6 hole baseplates as I wasn't expecting a reissue to have the old truck mounting hole pattern but here we are. I got lucky with that one. Also, I bought pink wheels on purpose.
Rail hack: The sticky padding on the back of the Candy Bars was pretty melted and half of it came of with the backing. Luckily, I noticed this ages ago and came up with a solution. 1/2" Scotch Indoor Mounting Tape worked perfectly and I'll probably do this for any rails I mount going forward. No mo rattly rails.

I love it, good for pressure flips, tail is just square/wide enough for blunt slides without sacrificing my tre flips and impossibles.
Frank told me it was an old Jim Thiebaud shape from 1991/92.
What's the benefit of a pointier nose over a full shape, besides preference?
It makes me like it even more to know it was an actual shape from that era. I love the combo of a pointy nose and round tail as well...mentioned it elsewhere but the Cardiel football is my personal favorite.

Glad to see you’ve come full circle. If that were my first deck I would put it back together no question. I had the Rob Roskopp with the monster face which I thought was sick at the age of 11–not so much anymore. I’ve been waiting for my 3rd deck to be reissued. That was the one I started skating parking blocks with.

Sweet Salvation griptape art. How are you liking the Indys coming from Ace? I used to switch back and forth regularly but as of late I have been strictly Ace.
I noticed with the pointyish nose my slappy crooks are way easier, and the front of the boards is much lighter giving it a whippy feeling(heavy tail/light nose/directional) vs a balanced shape which I don’t like as My Nollie flip tricks are non existent.This is why I'm hesitant to pick up a Dane Brady shape, small wheelbase and length. What do you think about pop with a lighter nose, do you think it decreases momentum in an ollie or easier because it's lighter. I'm thinking of trying some pointier shorter noses. I wonder it's effect on noseslides if any, besides less foot purchase.
There is a tipping point with most setups, I don’t want a super skinny nose but I don’t like a full one either. Classic 91/92 shape is perfect for me. This one has a 14.38 wb. I also noticed once boards go under 32 long they get kind of unstable.

I would say the nose of the Dane1 is pretty big. Length wise it's under the standard 32" but it's pretty close and the nose, though it tapers, is still there and is usable. My main issue is that it was a little wide and made my pop feel heavy even though the wheelbase is my ideal. For me it was a one and done even though it looks sick when I see pics of other people's set ups. In theory, I love it but it didn't totally click for me. Gonna try a 1992 some time soon.1991/1992 shape are both really fun. Both are at or slightly over 32 long vs the Dane is under 31.5 which makes my foot come off every Ollie I try. 14.25/14.4 wb is optimal for Me to keep my flip tricks And not have my setup feel like a Cadillac . Prefer 7 inch nose 6.75 tail. Dane nose is 6.5 or less, it works but feels more cruiser than functional.
I'm riding the 91 now which is pretty comfortable, but thinking of the 92 next, do you know the width of the 92 over the back truck, seems to taper more? I'm considering the $lave war pig too but can't seem to find all dimensions besides wb and length, the nose seems pointier and smaller, but after hearing these opinions I'm willing to try.1991/1992 shape are both really fun.

Frank told me it was an old Jim Thiebaud shape from 1991/92.[close]
It makes me like it even more to know it was an actual shape from that era. I love the combo of a pointy nose and round tail as well...mentioned it elsewhere but the Cardiel football is my personal favorite.
Just set this up and skated for the first time today, made for my short legs.

1992 does taper more than 1991, 8.6 wide at the back truck. I ride 159s because for any flip tricks the 169 is sluggish and almost impossible to flip.
It is the slick bottom bunny shape.
Looks like it might be a slightly slimmed down version of Jim's Real "Wrench Justice" deck from 1991.
speaking of how would 169 fit on that grimple? 9.1 seems pretty perfect.They wouldn’t, it’s narrow in the back. I’m not the flush up front/hanging out in back truck guy. Never had that hangup like most people do with magic carpet. Rather have a setup that is functional/practical vs the flush aesthetic.
Some hot shit posted in the last page.
Really curious about 1/4" risers and 58-60mm wheels now. Thinking about it seems monster truck status, something about lower quicker pop seems more comfortable. The higher feels tippy? Even with larger wheels?

I've had the same problem with 9"+ trucks. 8.75" is really as wide as I can go before all my flip tricks are done. I also advocate lining up the back truck with deck width. Hotrodding is not an option on wide shaped boards...

I've been running my 55s with no washers inside and it kind of gets the job done. I am also tall with 11.5 feet so maybe its not as big a deal to me. That being said, can't wait for the 8.75" Ace to happen. While I love the current sizes, there is a void between 44s with extra washers inside and 55s with no washers inside.
Speaking of, I have pretty much sold off all my standard size boards.

For the kind of skating I do, the shapes work so well and I love how they look and feel. I was always kind of resistant to the the idea of going all in but it just makes skating so much more fun.

Sounds like we are in the same boat. If I could learn to be more consistent with fliptricks on my big setups I wouldn't own anything else.

Funny you mention that because not too long after you posted that 7.75" setup I was running an 8.06" with Venture lows and was super into how easily it flipped BUT at the same time it just felt off for the stuff that I really want to do when I go skate. It kind of made me reassess things and realize that all my favorite skating of the past couple years has been on ~9" shaped boards.

I had originally bought this because it was similar in shape and dimensions to the Girl loveseat shape but on BBS wood. I also like the graphic a lot, though I'm kind of bummed that it has a blonde ply below it (which I'll admit is petty, but I've been spoiled). Anyway, I rolled my ankle pretty bad last weekend and am still not 100 so I just took this out for a few slappies and no complies and am pretty hyped. The loveseat had a ton of flat and then super abrupt kicks, whereas this feels like a mellow Baker mold where there is still some flat but the kicks are more gradual. I wasn't feeling up to trying anything switch/nollie but the nose feels nice and I think I'm going to like it.
Posted the top because the 55s work nicely with it and I want to say it is like 8.875" over the front pair of the back bolts. I can't wait for Ace to make an 8.75" truck but these aren't hotrodding or anything. I took out the MiniLogo bushings I was ruining because, though they were nice, the color and logo were annoying me and I felt like the hardness of the barrel made the turn a little too slow.

I didn’t like how short the tail was. With that double kick (which I love about the old shape), it feels like you have nowhere to put your foot. I skate with my foot in the pocket so it wasn’t working for me. I also didn’t like how ‘popsicle’ it felt. I basically only skate shapes, but this felt like a shitty flat pop, until you look down or move your back foot. I don’t know, just couldn’t do it. Plus I’m obsessed with Scram shapes, so hard to get down in Aus but so worth it. This Spiff shape is AMAZING - changed to Ace 66 and I’m stoked.

Anyway, I rolled my ankle pretty bad last weekend and am still not 100 so I just took this out for a few slappies and no complies and am pretty hyped. The loveseat had a ton of flat and then super abrupt kicks, whereas this feels like a mellow Baker mold where there is still some flat but the kicks are more gradual. I wasn't feeling up to trying anything switch/nollie but the nose feels nice and I think I'm going to like it.
Posted the top because the 55s work nicely with it and I want to say it is like 8.875" over the front pair of the back bolts. I can't wait for Ace to make an 8.75" truck but these aren't hotrodding or anything. I took out the MiniLogo bushings I was ruining because, though they were nice, the color and logo were annoying me and I felt like the hardness of the barrel made the turn a little too slow.

whats the width over the trucks on the big egg? trying to decide if I wanna go with 169s or 55s when I inevitably cop.
Might fuck around and just become "the egg guy," and have eggs for both set ups.

I had to take the thunder 161's off that chocolate couch shape, the taper over the rear truck was showing way too much bolts/wheels and really annoying me. It actually rode very nice, but irritated the rat piss out of me with the football shape/taper. I don't own any trucks with an 8.75 axle, so I'm gonna try some indy 149s on it to see if it's not too odd.
I also just blew out one of my Krux baseplates around the kingpin hole (super wiggly loose) SO i put the 161s on the 9.38 Scram Cope I previously posted. It looks and rides fantastic even though the taper measurements should say otherwise?
I'll give the 149s a try! and i'll also sign up at that forum!Rad!

(https://i.imgur.com/JixAT8h.jpg)This might be your answer if you don't mind the branding.. 9.5 x 31.9(ish)x 14.1 wb. After this picture, I put some 8.75 trucks with 53mm full conicals on and it was perfection. I know not alot of people care for Zero, but I don't care if "the cheif" rubs his balls on each one during production because they skate fucking amazing. It has just been retired and I have no complaints about the longevity. Best shaped deck I have ever skated, without question.
Treated my wide set up to some new 55’s and slimeballs.
Deck is getting a bit tired. Anyone got any ideas for something similar shape, kinda slimmer Dane 1 with a tiny bit more wb? 9.3 ish and 14.25 wb (or close to ) tried the Polar 92 before but didnt love it enough to go back

Funny you say that about the red wheels... I have a set of red Street Plant wheels I feel the same way about. Some days I like them and some days I hate them, lol. Mostly like them, but I’ll never buy another set of red wheels.
Andy Anderson is a magician and that board is sick. Nice to see that my 169’s will fit if I ever decide to pull the trigger on one.
I've got myself a local brand's pool shaped board(first one that's bigger than 9"). Really pleased with it. The site measures it as 10" but it turned out to be just below 9.5". I'm going to set it up with ace 55s and 59mm spitfire bigheads (maybe I'll put some santa cruz rails). What do you think about it?

A little wider but this might be what you're looking for. It's currently sold out on the Habitat site but maybe you can find one in a local?

I just ordered some 161 Thunder hollows mainly in an attempt to lighten up my fatty. I have been skating Venture 6.1's and their weight is not doing my old ass any favors. I have never skated Thunders before and was wondering what they were like, especially on big setups. After skating medium-tight Ventures for decades, I am just now starting to find the benefits of loose trucks (like turning) ::) and am hoping that Thunders were a good choice.
That all sounds really good to me. Especially the stability part, I have just changed to Indys on my popsicle and those combined with starting to skate looser trucks setting up for fliptricks especially on banks and stuff has been aggravating. I was hoping Thunders would be a middle ground in that sense. I skate small wheels and typically dont use risers, so I think I will try them without them for now. Thanks for the input man, much appreciated.Expand QuoteI just ordered some 161 Thunder hollows mainly in an attempt to lighten up my fatty.

Thunders are great, they are stable with a very quick responding turn that bottoms out a bit when you are really leaning in to it.
The quicknes of the turn mellows out somewhat with the bigger sizes.
Thunders are prone to wheelbite, if you are going with big wheels and you ride a bit loose, risers might be needed.
The baseplates are a bit shorter than most trucks, if you want risers that fit perfect Thunder or Krooked ones are the right size.
I have 151 and 161 with risers, it might be my imagination but it feels like the risers frees up the turn a bit, making them more surfier, because the trucks have more travel to tilt before wheelbite comes in.

I was thinking about it after Heywood chimed in. And now you as well, I think that I will get the risers to start with. That way it's one less adjustment to get used to down the road.

Agreed on risers. I really think an 1/8" riser enhances their turn. At least for the 151s I use.

Do it. Even if it doesn’t work out use it as the occasional cruiser.
I think having a shaped mess around board isn’t bad. It helps to take a break from more “serious” skating.

(https://i.imgur.com/zfL5px3.jpg)Thats sick! Good luck with your quest for one setup my friend. I had the same goal and still ended up with two 9+ and a tech setup. You can do it. :)
1000th setup for the month, no self control here. I got sick of having a ton of setups for specific stuff, so I’m trying to downsize to one setup. Figured I could still stay on a 9” but get something with a way shorter wheelbase. My last 9.25” had a 14” wb which was just too small for what I do. Let’s see if this solves the problem...

The kicks are HUGE on this thing, will take a little getting used to. I used to only skate boards with nearly 7” tails so this will be natural again eventually. May switch to 159 or 55’s if I decide I want to flip it a little more.
I didn’t want to start a new thread so I figured I’d post up here. I came across a set of Indy 215’s and was looking for some deck recs. I was thinking one of those 101 Natas reissues or that ATM click Donovan Rice. Fire away! Thanks!

Heroins Gold 10” egg is absolutely perfect with 215s. Powell Ripper (with the nose), the XL Heroin Curb crusher is good. Have had mine on a Madness 10” at one point to and loved it. There’s a couple Scram shapes such as the Fink and Pig as well.

I really like bones mediums and didn't want to go through the bushing break in period, I would rather just skate. The stock bushings could be amazing, but unfortunately I'm not patient enough to find out..
It is Prime wood and it was highly recommended by a pal on here a few pages back. He swears by them, and I can see why.
I did want to try risers with them, but I am having trouble finding compatible ones that won't cost more for shipping then the actual pads.

My first non BBS manufactured trick deck, but I liked the dimensions and the creature crew so i thought I'd try a dwindle made, I have a few madness decks as cruisers and they are good quality. Did a few tricks in the basement and the pop and size was perfect, we'll see if it gets soggy quick, or has any other problems, but first impressions the quality was up to par with bbs, solid feel no defects.
So I am loving my rudy fubk, It is a fucking blast.closest thing is the love seat. It's 9 x 32 x 13.875??
Coming from 7.5 to 7.875s, its insane how much more stable it is and although heavier, more appropriate for certain things, and just feels awesome.
When it is toast I want to get another deck pretty close to it.
These reissue are a little pricey though, but I will get another if there are no other options. Also thinking if they stop making them.
Mine says its 8.98 x 31.8. So really anything around 9 x 32, would be ok I think?
What would you big boys suggest, that is pretty close in shape and general size?
It's been a while since I've had a shaped board so I thought I'd try something different

I don't skate it very often so I hope it lasts because it is one of the best shapes ever imo.

I’ve been wanting to buy a bannerot deck just bc I back the kid hard and I love that he usually skates on a couch or a loveseat.
Haven’t owned a girl deck in over 15 years and I’m still nervous about trying it, but the loveseat and the phawt shapes just may have me try it again.
Please let me know how it skates and if it holds up.

Fellow users of rails. My rail popped off halfway.A big no from me to using a drill, but put some double sided tape on the rail first. It keeps vibration down and it stays in place as you install the screws. Win win..just check the screws after each session, and tighten if needed.
Should I use a drill next time or stick to a screwdriver. Never had one pop off. Not sure if it’s because of the board shape.

Seems like most people over drill wood screws, causing them to fall out instantly.I am also a driller. My technique is to not use the drill like I'm drilling. Slower speed, solid downward pressure. Know when to stop before you over do it. You can always stop and check to see if you are deep enough and screwing more will only do harm. You can feel it when you do it enough times.
I only tear out woodscrews in my rails if I hit a nasty seam/crack.
It's a technique. I've done it a bunch so kind of learned the right amount of pressure.

Guys, do I need to go from 14.5 WB to 15" WB?What's your inseam? If you don't know, measure it to get a good idea of what wb might work for you. I'm 6' but I have relatively short legs so I ride a shorter wb.
Skating more tranny lately than anything, or just curbs, manual pads (not in a tech way at all). popping ollies, dont really care about any flip trick at the moment.
I am trying to improve the tranny skills though. I am 6'3"+ too, so proportionately....does a longer WB make sense for me? Still gonna ride the 9s of course.

I believe the wb is a little bigger than 13.5. I can tell you I have skated one with Ventures which really extended the wb. I didn't really like it so on my second loveseat I used indys and it is perfect for me. I imagine that aces would be close to the indys in terms of wb, but I have never skated them. Basically keeping the wb short on that shape is fun.Expand QuoteIt's been a while since I've had a shaped board so I thought I'd try something different

I almost bought this because of the super short wheelbase, I think it's around 13.5"? Then I decided maybe it's a little too short. I'd be curious how this feels with Ace's.
I believe the wb is a little bigger than 13.5. I can tell you I have skated one with Ventures which really extended the wb. I didn't really like it so on my second loveseat I used indys and it is perfect for me. I imagine that aces would be close to the indys in terms of wb, but I have never skated them. Basically keeping the wb short on that shape is fun.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteIt's been a while since I've had a shaped board so I thought I'd try something different

that does look good. Yeah I’m curious to try 14.75” with ace. That 9” would be a good candidate for 55’s but would have to see top down and finger of flat etc. I’m not riding bowls or transition atm so we might be looking for different things.

You know, I like it, but I dont love it. I skated a 5' wood bowl with a tight pocket yesterday and it was definitely stable, but in skating street, it does feel laborious. That said, I am not flipping my board much but in frustration at the bottom of the bowl yesterday I did a perfect heelflip on it? Random.
I am thinking of picking up a couple of these in 9" - Pat says they'll be restocked soon.

14.75" wheelbase feels like a happy medium. (its literally the medium between the polar I was riding and the Antihero)
I am a big fan of Pat and Coda. Always have been. When I got back into skating I was glad to see they're still going and Pat is into so many cool projects now with the curbs and whatnot.
Coda is a great company and worth the support
Everyone involved truly cares about skateboarding and doing right by it
So I popped my hip out a few times the past few monthsNice to have you back :)
Last night I stepped on a board I set up months ago for the first time
Feels so good

My local got a few shop boards printed on Dane1 blanks, complete with wheel wells.
I couldn't resist. I snagged the last one. This was like 6 weeks ago. I had planned on putting my 6.1s on it once I was done skating the Siamese. But I just couldn't wait any longer. I don't have any 151s in my collection. So I did something about that. And they fit the board nicely. 56 F4 classic fulls. I tried it the first day without risers. But I was still getting a ton of wheelbite. So added a 1/8 riser and now its much better. Still getting some wheelbite. But not as bad and the turning is improved. You can see my wheelbite mark is right where the wheel wells start. Would need a wider truck to really get the most out of the wells.
This is my first time riding this shape and its pretty fun. Would like a little more wheelbase and a little less tail if I designed it myself.

whatever you go with make sure you take into account the wheelbase. big boards tends to mean long wheelbase for whatever reason. but then theres boards like the polar dane1 shape that has a 14.125 wheelbase yet is dummy wide at 9.75 so i hear its very flippable
ive got my eye on the dane2 shape right now cause that thing looks fun as fuck. 9.25 at the widest but
tapers to 8.75 over the back truck with a square tail. pair that with some ace 55’s and my oj mini juices and im cruising like a mad cunt

My favorite shape, as I've said more times than anyone wants to hear. The pic of the bottom makes the 55s look like they hotrod but they don't. Been loving the Loopholes but I just can't quit the F4s and how good they feel at every single spot. Also, it always feels kind of blasphemous to me to have big conical wheels on a football, but I know that is just more neurotic BS.
For big boards, do you go with riser pads and bigger wheels?
I normally ride 51-53mm wheels.

That is why I put Ventures on the siamese. That small WB. Couldn't imagine with aces. Don't they shrink the WB the most of any truck? To me, the biggest difference between the siamese and dane1 is the concave. Siamese being prime wood is so flat. The concave is more like a bank. Dane1 is bareback, so the concave actually has transition and holds you in better. And is just stronger feeling.Expand Quote

One thing I just realized: my fatties run the wheelbase scale.
Siamese: 14
Dane1: 14.125
Doubles ltd: 14.25
Gonz: 14.38
$lave pig: 14.5
Lance: 14.625 (redrilled from 15)
This has given the knowledge that my WB sweet spot is 14.25 - 14.5.
The smaller WB can be fun. But when I step back on something in my preferred range, it just feels more comfortable.Expand QuoteExpand Quote

I love Heroin and Polars shaped decks (both generator). I think footballs/egg shapes are a good intro to shaped decks as they handle like popsicles but get you used to looking down at something different than a popsicle.
I’m riding 169’s on a 10’ Heroin egg shape, which I love, but that might be a bit much if you aren’t used to it.

I have definitely read that Heroin was apart of Baker Boys before, but this weekend as I was looking around, I didn’t connect the dots until last night. Baker is rad.
Ended up grabbing the 10” Gold Egg and the Street Baller 9.625”. Street Baller says razortop construction, hope I get along with that. Wanted to try a short board with long wheelbase. Gonna put Indy 169s on them. What size wheels should I grab, was thinking 54mm? Bigger than I’m used to, but not too big, and no risers needed with 55mm Indys.
I was ready to buy a 9.125 egg, but read posts saying 8.75 trucks are ideal for that shape. Not buying anymore skate gear for a month or two now, after these wheels. I read the post from Fos, about a 9.4 Space Egg and 8.7 egg coming this fall/winter, will wait for one of those as they work with my current trucks better.
Got a lot of info from this thread and the egg shaped thread, thanks to all.
That’s awesome, I’ve been mulling over trying the Street baller for a couple days now and just pulled the trigger on it. My Dane 1 is on its last legs and I liked how short it is while still having a nose and the street baller seemed like a good follow up to try.
Right now I alternate between 56mm Ricta clouds for cruising and 53mm F4 tablets for ledges/spots on the 10’ egg, but I usually ride 55mm F4 conical fulls which are real good on pretty much every set up I’ve had.
I’m focused a lot more on slidey tricks at the moment, but otherwise (because they grip a little more than F4’s), Loophole’s V and Square shapes are really great alternatives that I throw on some times.

No risers? I’d like to go as big as I can get away without risers. Also, have you tried the razortop construction?
That Baker 9.25, long and directional shape looked awesome, but the 14” WB had me scared with Indys. So I went with the Street Baller. More of a coffin shape than a missile. I don’t even know my shape preferences yet, but I know I’ll like the adjustable WB. For the missile shape, next year I’d like to try a Polar Dane 1 or 1991, or the 8.63 Anti Hero.
Did it hotrod much with the 169s?not at all. the 52mm are pretty thin wheels, but i rode it with 53 or 54 conicals for a while and that was fine too

Never saw this until just now. Ended up swapping the 55s for 159s (pretty cool because I put that Ace sticker on top) and took it for its maiden voyage today. IDK why but slappy crooks just pop off on this shape.
I had asked Fos when he was posting int he egg thread and he said they also do a no-quite-egg DMOTDW board with an adjustable WB that can be like 14.75.

I’m going to set mine up more cruiser style at first, see how it works out. I got some super juice 55m 78a wheels.
There is a video on Instagram where Fos shows some of the Fall 2020 decks, and he shows the razortop construction on the Razoregg. It doesn’t seem like it will take too long to adjust too, but at the same time it seems like it could make a significant difference in board feel. I’m intrigued.
You’ve skated the 10” Egg, the 9.4 Egg, and the 9.125. Which egg do you prefer, and why? How do the more hexagon or coffin shapes compared to the egg shapes or popsicle?

My favorite shape, as I've said more times than anyone wants to hear. The pic of the bottom makes the 55s look like they hotrod but they don't. Been loving the Loopholes but I just can't quit the F4s and how good they feel at every single spot. Also, it always feels kind of blasphemous to me to have big conical wheels on a football, but I know that is just more neurotic BS.[close]

I saw yours, it looks great! I ended up putting my 159s on it and am honestly pretty hyped on the combo (even if I have an Ace sticker on top). When I spoke with DLX they said the shape isn't discontinued, just out of stock, so that is a good sign.

Damn, this looks sweet! Wonder if this is the same shape/mold as the darkroom egg since both are BBS.
The darkroom is listed as 8.75" x 31.5", 14.25" wheelbase, 6.625" tail, 6.375" nose
Does the Cardiel match up? They look so similar in top view.

Damn. Now I get why their called Heroin skateboards, this sh*t is like crack. I can’t stop. .what does 10” egg taper to over the trucks? Curious about the 9.4/eggxorcist as well
I just skated my 10” egg for the first time today. First big board, first egg. Love it, although don’t think I’ll keep the risers and 55mm cruiser wheels on it unless I’m going long distance. Didn’t expect I could Ollie it so well. The board doesn’t feel all that massive, but the height and weight of the wheels and risers throws me off. Also the cruiser wheels keep moving fast out from under me on me when I land weird.

Nice. Just mounted mine up last night, went with the 14.125 WB as well. I planned on putting Indy 169s on it, but after measuring the width I decided with 151 lights as well. Feels great with hard 51mm wheels. I think I prefer these big boards low with small wheels. Gonna switch wheels and take risers off the very big gold egg.
Love the razortop construction after the first impression. Glad the Space Egg I ordered has it, it feels like I have slightly more control over the board.

I’ve only been riding the Street Baller around in my garage, but it feels a bit flatter than the 10” Egg. It feels significantly smaller too, the big egg feels monstrous. It also glows in the dark too haha, I love it. I’m about to take it out for a real ride now.

Yeah that 10’ egg is huge. I’ve been alternating between a Dane 1, a 8.3/31.5 long popsicle and the 10’ egg for the last month or so and the egg feels like a surfboard compared to the other two. The Dane 1 got me hooked on shorter wide decks that still have a decent nose so the Street baller should be right up my alley. Also going to try one of those Doubles Ltd Witch decks for the same reason. 9.25/31.5

I do like that surfboard feel, I haven’t felt anything like it. It’s just a little too big for anything technical, which was to be expected. I can however ollie higher than I expected on it, and shuvits are easy to land, and it has a great nose and tail for slides/stalls. I like it as a cruiser than can still play a little. It feels like a tank too, like it can take a beating.
I took the street baller out for an hour. It’s so good, I got used to the feel of the razortop in a few minutes and I really like it. Only a small portion of the board is significantly wider than 9.0, and the board doesn’t actually feel that much larger than the 8.5ish popsicles I’ve ridden. I wish I grabbed two, I already put a large divet in the nose from a curb stall.

I think it does but mostly because it’s longer than the other ones except for a Scram deck I have which is the same length and 10’ at the widest point but tapers a lot towards the tail. Feels bigger than that one because the egg stays wider through most of the deck. The only one I have that kind of feels bigger is the Krooked Zip Zogger which is real short, but is 10.75 wide and is semi egg shaped.

Good to know. Thanks for all the info. I was looking at the new Craig Questions Gold Rush 10.0, but after riding the huge egg more, I may have found my width and length threshold. I’m a big guy too. I still like it for a specific purpose, and will definitely be keeping a 10 in my stable for cruising, but I bet it will last me a while and I don’t need multiple 10s ready to go. Probably gonna go with the new ditch witch instead.
I just got a Villani 9.125 egg too. Wow, it feels small, in a good way. I’m going to skate the piss out of this thing. Everything feels great except the nose feels a little small and too tapered, it looks smaller than my Baker 8.475 nose. I feel like the Street Baller nose is a little small too, but I don’t notice it nearly as much. I’ll get used to it. Otherwise this 9.125 egg shape may be perfect for me.

Big boys and girls, I can't decide between indy 215s or 169s.Depends on the size/shape of the board really - and how you want it to feel/how/what you skate.

Thanks, brother! Never had a knee injury before and have always been able to bounce back from other injuries, so I have been bumming for sure. I had to pick up the 215 trucks, as that's what Danny has on his ditch set up. Ordered them in March from sk8supply.com before the whole COVID thing really hit and they kept pushing back the order even after I saw that other places had them in stock... Had to finally cancel my order and pick them up from Tactics...

Expand QuoteExpand QuoteWhat are some boards that match up well with 215s? They should be at least 10.5" wide, more if heavily tapered?[close]
Zip Zogger would probably fit that bill. 10.75 wide. I love that shape with 169’s and I imagine 215’s would be awesome[close]
I'm trying to convince myself to try a setup like this, the zip zogger and 215s are in stock a few places, but it truly seems like just a cruiser. I did read some old posts, maybe you and others, saying it could ollie well though, which is intriguing.
What would the zogger and 215s do better than the 10" egg on Ace 66 or 169s, besides cruise? I'm loving my 10" egg the more I ride it. The giant egg and my Welcome Effigy 8.8 are my favorite bowl boards right now. Giant egg still cruises so well too, and ollies higher than most of my small boards.
How are you liking your street baller. I'm liking mine for a different reason than I thought I would. It feels super small and light even compared to some thinner and lighter boards, I suspect that it's just cuz it's short. Does the Zogger feel a lot smaller than it is, because it's so short?

Honestly, the Zip Zogger isn’t any better for any tricks or anything than the big Eggs, but I do like it for Ollies and basic grind/slide tricks. More than anything it’s a super fun feeling board. It’s like riding a toilet seat haha
Man, I have a love/hate thing going on with that a Street baller. I took a break from it and set up another Dane 1. I think the Street baller is one of those decks I just have to be in the perfect mood for, like the Scram Fink. I’ll likely throw it on for a week or two at a time, love it and then get tired of it and switch off.
The Zogger does kind of feel smaller because of the length. The pop on it feels like jumping on a Pogo ball because it’s short with a short but steepish tail.

I loved my pogo ball. I got in trouble once for not letting a husky neighbor boy try it though, and declared he might pop it. But a few days later I made amends, and he got to hop around a little.
Fast forward to last Saturday and my fat ass snapped my buddies deck. The circle moved to completion.

I wanna skate now. Even more. Love those previous two set up’s. Still want to try the polar 1991 as a do it all. @Sundaynuggets how often are you swapping wheels? I feel like I could easily go back and forth with Keyframes and 99a spits..

I'm well acquainted with the Winkdogs, I think my dream shape would be:
The squareish old tail, the new shape from the rear trucks to the centre, old 10.34" wingspan from rhe centre to the front truck, with the new nose. Double drilled.
But right now I've got the classic shape on 159s and 58mm spit conicals, and the new shape on 55s and 55mm spit classics.

I think the Heroin 9” and 9.25” popsicles have shorter wheelbases than these other ones I see (creature, antihero, $lave, etc.) I may be wrong.
Someone on this thread a few pages back said Baker makes a 9” with a regular-ish wb. Like 14.5” or something like that. Maybe Heroin is using that mold. The picture of the 9.25 looks full and girthy tip to tail. That might give the 10” egg a run for it’s money in terms of stability and platform. Not quite.

My TU deck got a fat break in to from doing a bunch of fs bonelesses into disasters, but the rails kept it from fully breaking even though it's the reason why it's broken in the first place. There's also fat pressure cracks, but that didn't affect performance. Still good to use as a cruiser (if I had the parts) but too sketchy to actually skate transition.
Been skating this old Jason Adams punk point deck that I've had for months. Didn't like how it performed initially and got sick of seeing the graphic, so I sanded and spray painted the Black Label Thumbhead graphic on it. This was months ago and now that I'm skating it again, all of a sudden this shape is just really good.

Did not see that VilleWester board, that's funny though. His wheels are a different shape? Mine are the f4 classics.
Creature kicks seem actually steeper than the girl but not by much. the girl kicks are steep already because of the fingers of flat
Have not skated this setup yet just put it together today because it's raining and I was bored
Did not mind the short wheelbase at all on the Girl deck but I suck at skating so what do I know
I’d be curious about the fingers of flat on the Creature too, now that you mention it. That’s why I didn’t mess with the girl deck. Prefer as few fof as possibleI'd say it's about 2 fingers on the creature🤷🏻♂️

The mids definitely have weight on em, but not to where I blame my set up if I suck. The height is perfect, turns like they should, could of dealt without the shield on the plate but it’ll come off in time.
The NMBs I found on eBay, and for 13 bucks they’re as good as Reds. Might be better with time but damn their smooth.
The tail is hella square but so far I’m diggin’ it.

Did some research and Thailand has great bearing factories. Dude on eBay sent em quick and it’s a nice change to not look at reds.
Skeptical because it’s NOS, not sure how long that sat and when I gave em a spin they were smooth but didn’t keep. Once set up they’re better than decent.
The rumor is that Rockin Rons bearings are just NMBs and if I remember correctly he may have even said they were sourced from Thailand. One way or the other, they're still being made so maybe you got a hook up.

Except they're made in Thailand.
They are re-packaged NMBs. They've always been one of the better bearing manufacturers and far better than generic Chinese bearings. I've seen some NMBs sold on eBay or sketchy online stores, but I don't think anyone else imports them (and haven't seen them in stores for 20 years). Back in the day, German (GMN) bearings were between NMB and Bones on the hierarchy, but I haven't seen those for a long time either. I think Z (Z-roller) bought exclusive distribution rights to GMN during the late 80s and sold a version soaked in motor oil.

Just got this board, been after one for a while and jumped on it when they came back up. Blockhead Streetstyle, withmodern truck holes. Flat as a tack, normal tail & wheelbase length but with a shorter nose. Got some Pink 80s Rib Bones ready to go on it.
Dimensions: 9.125 x 30.125”, 15.5” wheelbase, 6.625 tail, 4.25” nose (longer because of modern hole pattern)

I set these up last week.
I took the risers off the Mutant, put on harder bushings and those orb wheels, and it felt really good skating in my garage. Wanna get it into a bowl setup like that. CalSk8 has this beast in stock online right now if anyone is interested. I hope Heroin does a run of these every year, same with the 10” egg. On 215s. I want more 215s in my life!
I did get the Gonz in a bowl a little bit, and a few minutes of cruising. It feels a little more squirrely in the park than my other boards for some reason. It’s got the same wheelbase as most of my boards, and on 169s, so who tf knows. It may need some Thunder 161s and smaller wheels. It may just be the longer tail changing up my weight distribution. It does however feel awesome cruisin around on the street and ollies super high. This and the Heroin Street Baller will have to duke it out for best city street mess around board, I’m moving to SF next month.
I just measured the Gonz at each axle. 8.875" in the rear, 9.5" front.
I may experiment with my 151s, but whenever I have trucks smaller than the board, I find I land on the edge of the board more doing ollies and trying to get my heel flips. Like accidental primo more often. That's just me.

Sorry to bug you, but can you check the wheelbase too?
And it is only single wheelbase isn't it, not double drilled, even though you could drill it out if it felt too short.
Is that Gonz just the sweatpants shape with a new graphic? I looked at the 2020 Krooked catalogs and didn't see it but I get that the supply chain is gonna be iffy for a while. It would be cool if Krooked kinda landed on a few consistent shapes the way Polar does instead of a weird hodgepodge with every drop.
Maybe they were doing this and covid fucked it all up and I'm a big dummy.

It's a shame Krooked do dogshit shaped boards, always pumping out these weird long thin fish things, with their best shape (Beamer) which is a rip off.

Im currently skating a madness 8.62 so not above 9 yet but im thinking bout it. Rocking ace 55 with this setup and loving it though. The particular on I have is slick in the middle but not the nose and tail. They def dwindle as some models have the impact inserts and im pretty certain mine said resin-7 on the top.
current one im skating. def looking at getting another and possibly 9+

this board is such a trip. i have a socal blank quite like it, i ended up making it into a cruiser/traditional skateboard. i thought about setting it up as a bowl board with some harder wheels though. let us know how it goes.

I don't like trucks wider than 8'' it messes up my grinds. Also I think it could look cool and more room to land is good too.

It would probably be fine. They taper to ~8.75" over the front truck so it depends on how you feel about that. I've skated the shape with 149s, 159s, and Ace 55s.

Doesn't seem blasphemous to me. I used to have a thing about no big, conical wheels on an egg but after trying it I changed my tune real quick.

Santa Cruz Dressen 9’
Indy 159 Ti
F4 Conical full 55mm
Reds
Mob
Pig rails
My first Santa Cruz since the early 90’s and I like it so far. Wood feels a little different than what I’m used to but so far so good. I’ve been on a rails kick lately too which are a lot more enjoyable than I expected. The local only had this color, but somehow the Cheetah print works with the Rose graphic to give the board a biker step mom kind of feel.
Anyway, they slide fast. Pigs seem to slide a lot better than the Bones rails I tried. Harder plastic I think.
Finally got my hands on some Krooked's.

nicely done. that set up is proportioned just right.

Nice. I’m digging the big popsicles too. What’s on deck for you after the Santa Cruz?
thanks, I am probably going with the 159's for it. Gonna be a little bit till I pull the trigger though because I wound up ordering one of those socal skate 9" deck which backs up the drkrm I just set up. Definitely looking forward to the smaller wheelbase, but I've found I like a shorter nose. Seems like the couch has a normal nose, and with any board where the nose is 7" or more I can't nollie very well for some reason.

I got one of those 9.25 Heroin popsicles with the shorter wheelbase I’m looking forward to setting up! I’ll either set that up or go back to the 10’ Heroin egg I was riding a couple months ago. I rode it maybe five or six times before switching out so I still have a lot of life left in that one.

I got the Street Baller on Ace 55s. I love it, almost as much as the Mutant, but I barely skate it. I’m having a hard time with my Ace trucks again. Mainly because I just moved to a crusty/chunky city and can’t use big wheels on them. I’m finding the razortop to feel exceptional under my feet, however it’s easier to chip than a regular top construction.
That 9.25 Heroin purpsicle is soo good. It’s all I want to skate right now, but alas I have Ace 66s on it and the small wheels get caught up on things for me.

Ya I get some serious wheelbite with Aces on wheels over 53mm and especially wheels with a wider profile than a classic shape. I like Aces a lot though, apart from that issue, so I just use them on setups that see no city cruising action where I’d want big wheels. Parks, flatground stuff and smoother street.
The purp is so awesome. The short-ish wb for such a big popsicle, makes it feel really manageable and easy going. The 15” wb popsicles definitely take a little more effort to do things, but I like those just as much in certain situations.
I like way too many of these shapes it’s getting scary. I was hoping I’d weed out and sell the shapes I don’t like, but so far that was only the Villani egg. At least I learnt from all this that I don’t need a board under 8.75” wide anymore.

I gotcha, totally forgot that I use risers on pretty much all my trucks, so that makes sense.
Yeah, the short wheelbase is what sold me on that. I had an Antihero in 9.1 and the wheelbase was around 15’ or so which was too much for me. I hope to see more fat boy popsicles with short wb, would be cool to see some -32’ long ones too.

I gotcha, totally forgot that I use risers on pretty much all my trucks, so that makes sense.
Yeah, the short wheelbase is what sold me on that. I had an Antihero in 9.1 and the wheelbase was around 15’ or so which was too much for me. I hope to see more fat boy popsicles with short wb, would be cool to see some -32’ long ones too.
Haha the shapes have a grip on me too. I think I like the Eggs the best overall[close]
Dude the 9.4 egg is amazing! I think I like it better than the 10” egg. You had an Eggxorcist deck right?
You ever skate a Krooked Beemer deck?

This definitely “feels” like the biggest set up I’ve had with its fat/full nose and tail. Moreso than a Dane 1 at 9.75” for example which I also have. Excited to try this, pop feels like it’s going to be snappy already.
pulled the trigger on a mutant and some 215's, I can't remember the last time I was this excited to set a board up haha. I also want to try that DMODW 9.25 Popsicle before they sell out, I've skated the orange eagle and a couple santa cruz/creature 9" popsicles with the long wheelbases and liked them a lot so I imagine the DMODW board will be even better.
Since some of you like shorter wheelbase:
I've drilled a second pair of holes in my baseplates so I can shorten the wheelbase by approx. 0.4" per truck.
Opened up a lot more options on decks.

@Sundaynuggets Zogger sounds fun! I’m honestly a little afraid it’ll be too much of a cruiser, but it’s worth a shot next year if it comes back. The 9.25 Popsicle on 66s with small wheels is definitely less board than the 10” egg on 215s/169s with big wheels. I will swap around stuff over the holidays and test this theory too.
what size indies are you riding with the dane 1? 169s?I run 159s no problem on my Dane 1.
This one is interesting - anyone on here?
I also noticed the wheelbase had been drilled down, which would probably suit more of you guys too - see pics.

yeah, i saw that.
the holes were still set back enough were the bolts weren't in the way on slides.
I always wondered why truck companies don't do this by default.
Today I had a few minutes to try the PP Slidewinder. Still pretty skateable for a board of this size. I could still do my ollies, 180s and stuff(no flips). Just needs a little more effort. Everything feels a bit more stable and slowed down. Solid feeling when going fast. I like it.
Short version: it's not the board I needed but it's a board I wanted ;D

I thought it was more of a wb modification....Koston is a little rare in that he’s cycled thru the big three trucks (most dudes seem to pick and stick with something)

I drilled the front trucks 1/2" back on the tactics deck to give me more nose and a better wheelbase for my height.
Don't drink and operate powertools. I messed up one of the holes. Oops.

So far I am digging this board a ton. I think the 169's fit it perfect. I might throw on my 159's for a session just to see how I like it. Im just getting back into skating so tinkering with set ups has been just as fun as riding.

Not sure how regularly they come out, but there seems to be one every other drop in the same size, shape, dual wheelbase, just different graphics.

Rode that deck before. I'd steer clear if you like big wheels. I had 58mm Spitifre classics with 1/4" risers on it, and it didn't feel good. Probably 55mm or smaller with no risers would be a better fit IMO.
58mm wheels on wide aces with no risers? Please tell me the secret, I can barely ride 53mm wheels with Aces.
Risers and accepting that you will get wheelbite in lifeI will accept neither.
i guess i wasnt being clear enough but i was talking about the evisen
Picked up some Ace 55’s on sale.
I need a rad big boy deck to pair with the trucks.
I don’t want a 15 inch wb.

Crail loveseat(9")/couch(9.25" shapes. 13.8" WB, 32" overall. More squared tail but otherwise pretty spot on. Loved my loveseat.
To anyone that has ridden the Grosso decks with the 90 degree top rails (Old Fat Guy Pig Shape): did you find that this cut actually helped with staying locked in? Or did it feel like a gimmick? Asking for a personal project.
Is that like the Razortop construction from Heroin?
Razortop definitely helps with board feel/control in most situations. But as mentioned it chips up a lot easier. I would totally buy one again, if the shape is right, but I prefer a rounded edge.
Lovely set up. 58s with no risers is a power play for sure.For now I tightened up the trucks because the thought of wheelbiting in big transition scared me. May consider risers once the bushings break in hah

Yes that is the one. A few different companies have done it and all called it different names, but it is just the rounded underside as normal but not rounded at all on the top edge.
I skate a 9.0” in popsicle shape only (no shaped boards). I am 6’ 2” and have a size 13 shoe so the wider board really helps. But one thing I have noticed is that I can only skate trucks that create a short wheelbase (indys). I recently tried ventures and hated them, it cause me to ghost pop all of my tricks. I’ve come to believe that when you skate a wide board and you skate street, longer wheelbased trucks don’t work well at all. I have been thinking of trying other short wheelbase trucks like Ace but haven’t had the courage to pull the trigger
It also would depend on the wheelbase of the deck, and the steepness of the kicks.

My original post is on page 72. I began with cruiser wheels but decided I wanted to get more aggro. The short wheelbase on Indy 169 allows for some nice side to side action. I have only skated Indy’s over the last 15 years but I feel like the 169 is the perfect blend of balance and turn for this deck.

Why the F is my rep going down!?!ha it’s a mystery. But also, it says you can’t receive PM’s, check your settings
now that i found my shape, the popsicle is going away for some months. should i swap out my swiss 6 to keep them warm and running?
That spot looks fun as hell!yeah it does. Looks perfect.
Finally set this one up, will use it as a cruiser first and maybe fuck around w tricks and curbs here and there.

Hey everyone,I would say the less you invest into that jalopy of a plank the better. That being said, Mini Logo 129s.
I need some advice on trucks for my 9.13 Andy Anderson deck.
At first I've set it up with independent 169 which are on another deck now. With indy 169 the tail felt weird/too flat and the setup was heavy. I thought about buying some Thunder 151 or 161 or... . Any advice?

The villani models on primitive are 9.125 with a 14.2 WB. Online says 14.5 but it's really a 14.2...right now I'm riding that volcom bannerot deck collab which is going good. Next up is that primitive morpheus deck.

Have you had any Flight boards before?
The feel of flight boards is so different to normal wood, no matter what trucks you have on it, but flight are also very lightweight, so it is odd that it felt heavy, unless you are used to a much smaller lighter board in general.
I know others who have that deck and although it was weird at first, they got used to it, but I wonder if it wouldn't really matter what you put on it, whether it would feel any different.
If the trucks felt too wide, you could try the size down, but I found Flight boards very flat and flexi compared to normal boards.

I think some people would be quick to say "Get rid of it" but everyone is different.
If you have other parts, or even other boards, try swapping things out and see how that goes, otherwise it might be a better wall board, or something that could be sold to fund a happier more comfortable deck purchase.
I have an && on my wall right now. It will be the next board i set up after my current flight is worn out.
But the && is much more extreme than most other boards. I used to like a deep concave, but the && is pretty damn steep at the flares.
I’m curious to see how it rides ( i plan on 159 titaniums) but I’m guessing i’ll keep it mainly for transition

always wanted one of those quasi boards, shame they didn't keep that shape in rotation, hope your ankle heals up soon because it looks like a tonne of fun!

I just ordered a 8.88 board and my other polar is a 8.75 so I won't be able to join you guys/ gals for a minute which is a shame because I really like this thread... will stop by periodically to check all the 9" + #deckporn though!

All the hype aside, do you think they live up to the cost? Or are they worth it, for how long they last?
Mostly the only guys I know who ride them are the older chill bowl rider guys, as they are the ones who can buy whatever they like, so it is ironic to me that they would never break boards, yet they are the only ones who can afford them.
They always sold out really quickly though, whenever shops got them in.

I’m kinda in the category you stated.
I don’t break many boards, but ride them till they’re soggy.
I’ve had 3 flights, 2 popsicles and a pool board.
As I don’t do much street, I don’t razor them much, which I think is really the only issue with the flights.
When I do get razor tail, I just sand the tips down and it’s still good to go. Change the grip, and yes, it easily lasts twice as long as a regular board. That much alone makes it worth it to me.
Plus it means less garbage in the long run.

I love the polar 9 popsicle. Nice long tail(almost 7”)sick! How was the adjustment with that deck and thunders? Compared to the 1991 shape? I have the same polar pop 9” shape on ace 55 and it takes me a bit to get used to the pop with em puling the wb in and the tail length. I use 1/8” risers, same wheels though. Looks like some consistent wheelbite. You recent set ups are very similar decks to what I have or want to set up

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately sold out as well. All good though! Lord willing I will have one soon.

I would have already tried one, but the width combined with a longer wb and overall length has me skeered, as I would be lost without my 3-flips and impossibles.

interesting observation for anyone considering 215s - the kingpin is 1/4 longer than the standard or hollow Indys and they come with a taller top bushing.BRB bout to make some 215 lows with a forged baseplate
This is great for anyone that skates super loose but if you're like me and skate medium it was annoying to get them feeling right.
I swapped the baseplates with some standards off a pair of 169s and it's all good now

I was using the stock bushings with the stock baseplates. I tried to put Indy aftermarket bushings but the top bushing was so short you would need to have about 3 kingpin threads exposed just to prevent the Daewon rattle.
Now I’m using the regular baseplates with regular kingpins, aftermarket Indy bushings and the nut flush. Feels like a good medium.
Before it was definitely too lose and too much wheelbite.
Last 215s I had were the Gonz ones. Not sure if there have been any changes but they were tough to turn. I have a new set and threw on aftermarkets because the person that sold them to me, gave them to me for the cheap but were missing bushings.

Tbh, the graphic isn’t exactly wall hanger material and I kept fantasizing about riding it ...
^^ I’ve attempted this ‘old person’ setup for slappys and flatground many times. I stubbornly then attempt to land flip tricks I used to have 20 years ago on setups that were way smaller/lighter. Chico can do it because he’s amazing.yeah by flat ground I meant doing tricks I’ve already known how to do for 10+ years haha I don’t expect a bigger board to help me learn any new tricks really, should’ve been clearer on that. My regular setup the last 5 years has been 8.5-8.75 anyways
Not to say the big setups aren’t fun, they totally are, especially for distance with bigger wheels and more board for more standing options.
If you want to do slappys and flatground, try that on your regs setup imo.
Big boards are very fun, not trying to discourage, but they haven’t unlocked any tricks for me.
I’m also way older than you, and too dusty to nollie flip on 55s, wide boards. Slappys are more fun tho

I’m an idiot don’t know why I felt the need to go off on some editorial bullshit.
My understanding is that Simon skates 159s on the couch/loveseat boards. 55 mm wheels work well with 159s. Those wide girl boards are dope.
(https://img.skatewarehouse.com/watermark/rs.php?path=GISBCRODK-1.jpg&nw=500)I recently had that shape with 52mm wheels in it as my “tech” board, it’s kinda football shaped so it goes well with smaller wheels imho. I think 54 are a good medium; still get tech but you can also bash into curbs.
Sup y’all, the older (I’m turning 30 but my body is 40+ from years of skating, lifting weights, and poor lifestyle choices) and more injured I get the more I’m accepting that if I want to skate I need to embrace learning slappies and flat ground and just cruising. Thinking of building a bigger setup to facilitate this, really liking the 9.25 board above, and it sounds like 159s would go well with it, though correct me if I’m wrong.
Any advice on wheel selection? Honestly I’ve always just ridden 48-52mm’s since my aspiring ledge wizard days and never really paid attention to hardness, but I’m guessing for this setup something in the 55-58 range, and maybe soft but not too soft, would be optimal?
Need some pop help. Having a bit hard of a time finding the pop with Ace 55’s. Have 1/8” risers. 54/55mm wheels. How would upping to 60mm wheels change the pop precisely? Think it’s also the super short wb and my height/leg length but also wore worn in 440 and toe felt slick/smooth. Vans pro had a bit more grip feel.
Swapped over to 169 ti 53.5mm height no risers. Looking for a sweet spot for muscle memory. Lower to pop does feel a bit more consistent and can feel how light they are in comparison. But now I’m in gear combo madness and wondering if 169 std would be the best bet

So I got one of those Ray Barbee flame decks the other day and I can't decide what trucks to run on it. It's 9 1/4-ish at the front truck and 8.5-ish at the back truck (kind of hard to measure because of the bumps) I'm thinking Indy 159s or 169s. Anybody got one? if so what trucks are you running?

Most shaped boards that are based on the 80s fish shape will either have massive overhang of the wheels out the back, or feel very unbalanced if you ride narrower trucks, but either of those would work, with the question being do you want a slightly wider more solid ride (169s) or a little less weight and not seeing so much truck (159s) on there?
Do you have either or neither or both? Sit something across the board for that length of truck to see anyway.
159 = 22.25cm or 8.75" axles
169 = 23.25cm or 9.125" axles
From looking back over this post with a Hosoi of similar proportions with 169s that I helped setup for a guy I know, I think that would be the better option, unless you are putting massive wheels like mini cubics or something on it, or want a super wide ride.

very curious to know how you like it, I have it as the next board up and I can't wait.
Apparently the grosso lance mountain deck is restocking as well.
Sold out at so cal before I was able to nab one. Don’t want to buy the black label grosso forever reissue because at $100 I probably wouldn’t skate it.
So I had this board custom made at deadbroke skateboards but not sure I’m going to set it up. 9” full with 6.625 tail, 14.5 WB, around 6.75 nose. Wood is solid and stiff but tail looks / feels too flat for me. The veneer they made this from is amazing.
For comparison it’s next to a HOPPS/ generator 8.75.

I just measured the Gonz at each axle. 8.875" in the rear, 9.5" front.
I may experiment with my 151s, but whenever I have trucks smaller than the board, I find I land on the edge of the board more doing ollies and trying to get my heel flips. Like accidental primo more often. That's just me.

Hi guys,
Just picked up a gonz stairs deck after not skating for some 25 years... just wondering if you ended up experimenting with different truck sizes. I ended up getting a set of 159 mids from a friend you think those will work with this board?
Thanks for your input

They will work, but if you feel like they are not so stable, going up to 169 Indy or 66 Ace might be more stable / too wide for your liking.
Depending on how you like your trucks, you might need to swap out those bushings if you like them tighter, but they will ride fine if you are lighter or like them looser.
The wheels will also make a big difference too, so if you got something like Slimeballs or big wide wheels, the 159s will be fine, but if you got some smaller skinny wheels, they might feel undersized for the board.
The best way is set it up with what you have first, see how that feels, then get what you might need with advice from a local shop if you have one, not to say they will be able to tell you everything, but at least you can usually check things out and size things up before buying.[close]
Never liked skinny wheels .. but with the lower trucks I was thinking of getting something like 54mm keyframes the board would be mostly for cruising with the occasional Ollie once a get my legs back
I figured based on the measurements listed above the 159s were a better fit at the rear compared to 169s
And I also got hard bushings as I am 200lbs

Man, I hope they do another round of that Cardiel shape.
been riding the 9x33 AH eagle board for a few years. best shape, and usually comes with a pink top stain. which has become important to me over the years for some reason. id rather not go skate than skate another board with a fucking yellow top holy shit. and i fuck with the overhang for getting extra squirrely in the city, i run 144s on that hog.

How often do you all switch between bigger boards and smaller, more “normal” popsicles?

How’s the wheelbite with the 8.75 Ventures and the 54 mm keyframes? I have a pretty similar setup and had bought 54 mm keyframes to throw on there to switch it up but I ride my Ventures decently loose and picture it being a disaster with the soft wheels.

Let us know how it works out for you with that much flat.
This deck (and a couple other reissues) use the K-15 concave. It's the concave they used on their older popsicles 8.25" and over, as well as some of the bigger modern shaped decks (9.26 Cab) before they came out with the K-21 mold.
The 8.25 popsicle had a 14.375" wheelbase and a lot of flat before the kicks. I did not like it. I stopped skating the board before it was dead just because I couldn't get used to the fingers of flat.
The 8.5" had a 15" wheelbase and had a much more appropriate feel to me. That concave can do up to a 15.75" wheelbase - but at that end it would have no flat. 14.75-15.25 is probably the sweet zone for that mold.
I like Powell, but they do have a limited number of mold shapes. Some of the other molds that would be more appropriate for this shorter wheelbase (K-12 and K-20) can only do up to a 9" wide deck. And they don't seem to do much in the 14.5-14.75 wheelbase range.
I love the polar 9 popsicle. Nice long tail(almost 7”)did you have to swap the bottom thunder washer to fit the 94a barrel bushing? Just curious because the stock thunder bushings are conical and the supercush doesn’t fit w the stock washer. The thunder replacement bushings match, supercush dont.

Ok Frankie Hill update.
I skated it tonight...was lots of fun. Feet position had to change a lot. I usually have my back foot down the kick on other decks, but with this i had take all the way up to the edge...it reminded me of how i use to skate (learned to skate) in the 80’s. When i got that everything worked pretty much the same way and the short kick and long flat wasn’t a consideration.
Kickflips feel really good as do shuvs...no comply’s are awesome as are fakie ollies and fakie fs ollies. The extra room for front foot makes everything comfy and safe! Dont ask me about other tricks, because that basically all my tricks!! But i have to say i had pretty high ollies, maybe its new board or something else.
The only issue i have with it is the length of board, I’m always fearing my back foot coming off the edge of tail or landing a trick and missing the board with my foot.

I had a black one of these as a kid, but when I stood on one many years ago I thought I would never want to ride one again, just the feel of them, as well as seeing the flat and steep kicks. Might be I am spoilt for choice nowdays and think how much more comfortable things like the AH Brown Bomber concave is to me, along with others like the Black Label Lance Mountain rat deck I have set up as a cruiser, or similar concave boards (anything on BBS wood that is).
Glad it works for you though, as that is all that matters. Looks so good as others have said with the grip job too!
Tbh, nothing beats the Brown Bomber for me either...this is a nice change before i get back to them. Also compared to the Black Label rat deck, its much more nimble...i loved the feel of that black label deck too, but i think when you get to 10” wide the length and wheelbase needs to be this short just to make it manageable...always found the black label really heavy and struggled to get it off the ground.
Mate...it’s funny i have both those on the wall...is your Natas the grey screen print version?

I thought the 9.0 was about the same, as per older posts, but it is also there on Skate Warehouse:
Features:
Width - 9.0"
Length - 32.5"
Wheelbase - 14.38"
A couple of other places also have it and show it to be those dimensions too, as per older posts from @144

Tbh, nothing beats the Brown Bomber for me either...this is a nice change before i get back to them. Also compared to the Black Label rat deck, its much more nimble...i loved the feel of that black label deck too, but i think when you get to 10” wide the length and wheelbase needs to be this short just to make it manageable...always found the black label really heavy and struggled to get it off the ground.[close]
Re Label rat - that is why it is the pump track board, but the guy who owned it first skated it better than Winkowski, maybe slight exaggeration but he could do anything on it. He is a small dude, but the deck sure is big!

how is the scratches on the right board so concentrated in one area?
Probably had a toe side rail
Would setting up a Polar Dane1 with Indy 215s be sorta like skating an 8.25 with 149s? Or would it be better to get some 169s on there? I see alot of people are even skating it with 159s, but I'm going for an extra wide/extra stable crust cruiser.I'm pretty sure dane1s are about 8.75 over the trucks, so there would probably be some hot rodding but it seems like a fun time regardless
I also don't think i'll ever skate a wider board so I wanna put these 215s to use somehow.
I just wanted the 8.5" shape a bit wider.their 8.5 shape widened to 8.75 was supposed to be the holy grail for me but i shouldnt be surprised they used the basic bitch dimensions. maybe they do an "se" range in the future? yeah right

Best egg I ever skated
Many skateboards are available in the market at different price ranges having variable specifications in today’s era. For the best electric skateboard under 500 (https://skateboardsuggest.com/best-electric-skateboard-under-500/), you will need to be careful. Selection of the skateboard with all the required specs is not easy while keeping the budget in mind. :) 8)

So...I noticed ATM is making9” pops now. Anybody have any reviews or know what the WB is on them? Wouldn’t mind trying one since they are a little cheaper. I’ve never skated one but heard the concave is pretty deep.

Craig questions deck
and the cruiser is the donovan rice
Just set up the Craig and only skated in the basement a little, all my spots are snowed over or wet atm. Super responsive with the 14.1 w/b it actually flips easier than my popscicle setup, maybe cause it magic carpets a little on 169s, being 10".[close][close][close][close]
its a shame most of the big boy shapes have mellow tail angles, but hopefully the villani egg doesnt disappoint me[close][close]
Primitive is BBS, just like Heroin.
Maybe cause I'm using 53-54mm with no riser, more height would probably help, I can get some pop, it's just weak. Didn't know they were BBS too, thanks.Expand QuoteI'm enjoying my Heroin questions with 169s, 60 classic and a 1/8 riser. No issue getting pop. The tail is really unique with some side rocker action going on. Reminiscent of an old H-Street. I had to switch up my technique to get it to tre flip. Instead of having my back foot in the pocket, I need to put my big toe on the corner. Then it goes. And it goes good.Expand QuoteYeah, it's 10"deck with a long nose it needs more of an angled kick to get it going, or maybe my leg is too weak. Who makes primitive, is their wood good, I've been considering a football/egg shape for my next one. Let us know how it goes.Expand Quoteim at the same stage. tried 55mm wheels and its just aight but id need like 58-60s to get it to the desired steepness. would need 1/4" risers and the setup would just be too high for me to really love. maybe try skating it backwards? for short nose shapes i find that i like the short "tail" long nose feel of riding it the wrong wayExpand QuoteYeah I think it has something to do with the eleverage or how it contacts the ground, it's just not reactive, the deck's not soggy, it must be the steepness, tail is slightly stubbier too, my wheels are 54, so maybe it's not enough contact, I dunno just feels off.Expand Quoteprobably has to do with the tail angle. have the same issue with my dane1, venture forged has made it better but still not perfectExpand QuoteHaving a hard time getting good pop on the heroin, way lower than my 9" popscicle and even lesser than the cruiser next to it. It's not a weight issue because it's almost the same as the popscicle.

Also...on the Black Label Jake Reuter 9" deck, i went to the skate shop and measured it...the measurements on the black label site seems to be incorrect...length is definitely 32.2 like the Tactics website says, and although everyone has it 14.5 WB, middle of hole to middle of hole is about 14.65 so not sure whats going on.

That is weird!
With that length of wheelbase, you could take it in .38 (using the six hole standard Indy baseplate guide) at either end and might be just right for you. If the tail was too short, that end would be good, but if the tail is nice as is, then you could take the nose end in and shorten the nose down some as well.
Might be too much work, but you could use a Brown Bomber as a template...
really contemplating getting 56mm classics today to correct the dane1 pop angle. nose isnt getting up high enough with smaller wheels, overjumping the board a ton when im going for higher pop.
stepped on the tail of my popsicle and marked how high the nose reached against a wall and it was about an inch higher than the dane.
(popsicle: venture forged, 52mm spits) vs (dane: venture forged, 1/8 risers, 54mm ojs)
is it due to the mellow tail angle? short nose? long tail? really like the shape but willing to call it quits if some madness cant get it perfect

I've had similar issues with my Andy Anderson deck. First I've set it up with independent 169 and it was pretty difficult to pop high ollies. Now, after changing to Venture 6.1, I really like how it feels. I think I wasn't used to the long mellow tail.
You could also try using another 1/8 riser before buying new bigger wheels

That’s great that you’re digging it now, as I said my first roll on it wasn’t as fruitful as I’d thought it would be but yeah, the tail is huge so where you put your foot would make a huge difference. I’m not going out of my way to put my foot in any particular place but the first time I tried to manual on it it felt really heavy and non cooperative whereas now I can hold my manuals pretty much as long as I like. Flips really nicely too even though I’m not doing too many flip tricks in my old age...

Yes. I can Ollie just as high as normal.
Trucks are stock, nut flush. It’s really squirrelly and stable at the same time. It’s an awesome setup, landed my first back 360 on it and I think it’s making me skate faster going into grinds. Bigger wheelbases are fun. Anyone remember where Freddy is talking about skating 16”wheelbases on acid with soft wheels?

Love it, not enough 80s boards / reissues in this thread. How do the 215s fit on it? Have always wanted a Natas to ride, might do it after this Old Yeller dies.
@jay_nev I've had the 9", 8.75", and 8.5" pops. They measure tape down I believe. I swear these boards are identical to the AH Eagle boards. I set them on top of each other and the shape, concave, tail, nose, and mounting holes aligned perfectly. The 8.75 is my personal favorite, but that's for another thread. ;)8.75” is the one I was looking at actually.

Finally took this thing out for a (non-hydrant) spin. It's so big and small at the same time. It was speedy and stable at the pump track and it climbed up curbs without even trying. Hoping to get a better curb session with this later this week.

If you wanna live the shape life, you'll probably have to figure out what you want and then start experimenting with other similar stuff. The sites that consistently list accurate dimensions are Uprise, 35th Ave and unfortunately Tactics. Like you noticed, other sites sometimes list dims but aren't consistent. If you're using a search engine, you can often find the wheelbase listed somewhere if you look for the model name of the deck and then include wb at the end.

Can anyone suggest a 9" deck with a 15" or 15.5" wheelbase that has steep-ish concave, average kicks, bonus if it's from a known-good woodshop?
Been a while since I've had a board, and a lot of the deck descriptions I'm running into don't mention geometry, or sometimes even wheelbase(!).
I handled a Polar 1992 shape last year in a shop and it seemed really nice, but the wheelbase was like fourteen and a quarter.
Na they look perfect. I’m looking forward to swapping the 215s out for ace 66sExpand QuoteHell yea! What size trucks are you running?Expand QuoteExpand Quote(https://i.postimg.cc/MZBLSGXH/6-C8-D7-A8-D-7165-4-E08-B508-138-AE73-A6347.jpg)[close]

169s. I know some would argue 215s would be better, but the 169s feel stable, turn great, and don’t feel like they’re sticking out too much.

Yeah, that looks pretty good. Can't tell if the concave is more mellow or aggressive though. Also, $80's a bit steep..
That’s gonna be the new norm dudeIf anything, $80 is still too low but it's a round number so I bet it will stick. We were paying $75 when decks were $50
Sucks to say but I think this whole supply and demand price increase is going to be permanent
I expect decks to be $65 and up from now on, with shaped and reissue being more
Yea that looks good. Im pretty sure Natas never rode 215's back in the day.Pretty sure Natas was on thunder back in the day.

You are correct.
I'm not sure why people insist on such giant trucks on shaped boards. If you look through old photos from the time period. Most skaters had their back wheels lined up with the deck and the front was often a magic-carpet scenario. I have a 10" Tom Knox reissue and with super wide 60mm Bullets, 159s work great. 169s would be OK but 215s are overkill.

I agree with this. I’ve never really understood the point of 215s, for me 159s are like the perfect truck for so many different sizes

No doubt. Ride what feels good. Just talking about if people are looking to replicate what we rode in the 80s on these reissues, they should consider 149 to 169 for period specific authenticity.

That looks like fun!
What you got on that thing, eg Indy trucks, are they Santa Cruz 61mm 97duro or OJ elites?
The mid stages I have in older trucks are fairly accurate to the measurements, eg 146, 166 and some of those.Stages 7 and 8 are the stages that went to 6 sizes. Back to 9 at stage 9 according to the Indy book
The older 166 (stage 7 I think I made them to be) are definitely smaller than 169s by a touch and wider than 159s but as there are no size markings or stickers of any sort, a lot of the time they get size and stage wrong in the info for them.
These were a few I had back then (3 years ago actually), but I have more in wider sizes now.
I tried looking for the size info from a whole lot of Independent Truck history I had seen and saved, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I think it said something like Stage 6 to 8 had the "6" sizes, not the "9" stages, eg 136, 146 and not 139, 149, etc.

I posted this same question a while back but nobody seemed to know-
Does anybody know the WB on ATM 9” decks?
I have dm’d ATM/ SOP, no answer.
I asked So Cal skate shop , no answer.
It’s not listed ANYWHERE.
It’s some kind of trade secret.
Curious if anyone is riding Ace 66s on anything. Was riding them on a Santa Cruz reissue with key frames but was occasionally bothered by hot rodding on the rear trucks. Was thinking maybe one of those krooked sweatpants shaped decks could work?I've got 66's on my Gonz sweatpants, with 58 conical fulls

If anyone cares, I did end up finding a shaped deck w/ 15" WB. The ad copy said 9" so I went w/ Ace 55's. Deck is definitely closer to 8.8": Nuts protruding. Wish I had gone for Indy 159's.what brand? 8.8" with ace 55 - 9" axles will be fine. was just reading early people using 55's on 8.5 and 8.75
got me a sausage skates egg deck from @FrozenIndustries a while back and just set it up. It's a 9 at center point, wide tail, very tapered nose. I think 32" length. pretty long wheel base too. I was told it's the same shape/size/mold as a Cardiel egg. Threw a set of hollow indy 159s with some bones 56 and bones Swiss super 6. The thing screams and is surprisingly responsive to the few heelfleeps and shoveits I've tried. It's pretty poppy too. I wasn't really expecting to like it all that much, but out of the 3 decks I tried this week (orchard gangemi m2 8.5, toy football) I've enjoyed this one the most so far. Figure it'll be good for schlapping around and whatever.lets see that quiver! Sounds good

Did some digging and this post has good pics and info, both top and bottom pics of each - Ohhh Pelican 9.125 with 14.5 wb - as per question answered by the shop, so maybe hit them up for the length too. I zoomed in and they are PS Stix as well, which is a plus.

Did you have those candy bars on ice or did you find them recently.

It's weird, they look hollow in that pic, but it's actually got a vertical tab of the adhesive sticker material running through it, I guess to stop any slippage of the adhesive once it's on.

Yeah, got a heads up from a friend, and got them directly from the Welcome site. White, Pink & Green, 2 of each. It seems interest really picked up after Paul Schmitts Nine Club appearance, which probably gave them a nudge to do more. Kinda dumb they don't sell them in packs of 2, but whatever. I was after the New Deal rails too as they're remakes of the Schmitt Stix Type Is, but the Type IIs were my fav anyway. Cost me a bit to get them shipped, so stocked up on them. Worth the wait, they're super smooth.

Welcome / Professor Schmitt 'Candy Bar' Rails
Been after the Candy Bars for years, stoked to get a few sets. Couldnt decide what colour to put on, so went classic. Man, these things slide... It's like they're full of wax. Amazing. They're basically Schmitt Stix Type II Rails, which were my favorite back in the day.
The board feels amazing, super crisp and the shape rules. Really similar to my Tired board I retired. I always wanted a New Deal back in the day, but they were too hard to get in suburban Australia.

Fascinated by those Candy Bars and rails in general.
I love how they look, but I don't board/lip slide enough to justify them. Mainly because those are the tricks I get bodied on the most. Maybe rails would help?

Maybe others here can provide more info, but for whatever reason, some rails work better for me than others. I’ve tried OJ and Santa Cruz rails and they stick even on waxed curbs. Randomly, a set of shake junt rails I got on sale awhile back have been great though. If you’re not comfortable on board or lip slides I would find a double sided curb or something and wax the shit out of it and practice without rails first. I’ve eaten so much shit slipping out. Rails do provide a more consistent slide though so I would recommend them overall.
Thanks! Those are some yellow éS Accel Slim I got for $25 thanks to the sale gear thread. Had wanted to try some for a while and the price was too good but it seems that all the OG Accels I’d seen people wearing were actually slims so these were a little bulkier than I was expecting. Good grip though and they feel slimmer than they look after break in. First heel attempt left a sick-looking bright yellow streak of suede across the grip.I Love that graphic!Expand QuoteExpand Quote(https://i.imgur.com/znD0geP.jpg)

Pig rails suck. They're too low and the hardware isn't great. If you get Pig rails, you might as well not use them since they're too low to do anything.
Powell Rib Bones are my go to but those Schmitt Stix rails look really interesting.

im not a fan of how ACE look, so, i'd say go for the Indy 169. i obviously havent 'skated-skated' on the 1991 yet, so I'm not much use for you there.same, riding 54mm classics 97a at the moment. Love em and want to jump to 56mm with the CF.
i will say, the F4 97a are incredible. ive been skating the 54mm classic 97a on my regular set up and they are awesome for garbage midwest spots. they are quieter than the 99a, which at first sorta bothered me, but then it also sorta helps out when skating spots at night where the noise could ruffle feathers of people living above spots.
Are those stage 10 169s? I have a pair and other than the lack of kingpin clearance they are so nice.Wow @art hellman great stuff. Beautiful.Expand Quote(https://i.imgur.com/y9gvrUS.jpg)

Set this back up for runs to the store at night. Anyone know if someone makes this S5 / GS5 type shape but maybe a touch longer with a 14.5” WB? I really like it a lot, just gets a little squirrelly at high speed.
I have a heroin dead dave 10" with some stage 10 215 gonz indys and im not getting a good turn with the stage 10s. Anybody have a recommendation on what truck turns better an ace 66 (maybe wait for the new 77) or stage 11 215s?215s haven't changed for years so your 215s are the same as the ones you'd buy right now. If they're those blue and black Gonz trucks with the red bushings then those came out in the stage 11 era, just so ya know. The 66s that are out now are 9.35 but the 77s are gonna be 9.5 so still not as wide as 215s. Personally I find most of these wide trucks pretty surfy with stock bushings but if the 215s aren't turning for you maybe go softer than stock?

Is this still true? I was having a discussion with my local shop owner last week and he said that when Indy was moving production to China they broke the 215 mold and had to remake it. He said the Chindy 215s are slightly different than the US made ones.
I hadn't heard anything official but who knows maybe that's the real reason all those riders left Indy? I sorta don't see why that would be the case though. Even if the mold did break, there are existing 215s that they could recreate the mold from. Also wouldn't NHS have at least put out a press release or something about the "upgrades"?Expand Quote

i think it was along the lines of indy offering a lump sum or one time payment to use pros names on trucks whenever they wanted to. the money must not have been anywhere good enough since a lot of pros jumped ship after that.I hadn't heard anything official but who knows maybe that's the real reason all those riders left Indy?

EDIT: Based on pics it does look like the shape of the hangar was changed. The V from the pivot to the end of the hangar no longer appears to be gradual and ends in the middle of the hangar. The hangar also looks like it is no longer a rounded shape where the axle begins and is instead replaced by a hard straight line like an Ace. No idea if other changes were made or if any of this effects geometry. Anybody have new 215s in hand to confirm?

What size risers are you using? You need a bit more height than usual to dig into the turns I find. They feel really shallow without risers or with 1:8th

Looks super decent. What’s with the 148 bushings in the 161’s? It’s the second time on slap in a few days I’ve read someone running thunders with bushings from a smaller truck.

Been after the Candy Bars for years, stoked to get a few sets. Couldnt decide what colour to put on, so went classic. Man, these things slide... It's like they're full of wax. Amazing. They're basically Schmitt Stix Type II Rails, which were my favorite back in the day.
The board feels amazing, super crisp and the shape rules. Really similar to my Tired board I retired. I always wanted a New Deal back in the day, but they were too hard to get in suburban Australia.

I just ordered the new Ace AF1 77, which is 9.5” for a 10” board (at the widest point). Indy 169’s are a bit small at 9.125”. Indy 215’s are 10” but it might be too big and look like a Hot Rod if the shape tapers a bit.

That looks like a good time. Double wheelbase option on that?
@shpongle a lot of reviews and discussed many times, check formula four thread. They’re great. Highly recommended for outdoors and crust, even some have said for dusty parks.
@Esmith5488 that’s a great rig. No risers? Curious to see what you think of the set up

@PhantomBased the 77’s feel amazing. I tried to go stock tightness but I’m on big soft wheels with thin risers so it was wheelbite time, but actually after half a turn on each truck they felt great! Bushing are pretty mush broken in from the get go. Real surfy feeling, great carving... I was trying to slappy feeble this crusty slappy block and it was giving me a hard time but I think it was more lack of wax then the trucks themselves. 50-50’ing the long ledge at the park with metal copping felt really good and smooth.
First impressions is that those are quality trucks!
That’s one sexy setup @Sk.A.T.A.N

@Sk.A.T.A.N wait till you get used to skating it and anything below 8.75 feels like a twig
that's how it starts. one nice setup and you'll end up skating it more and more and the little twig starts feeling sketchy. so for consistency you'll take out that big old slapper and faster than you can imagine you have grown a goatie and huck boneless ones on every bank...

My first board over 8,5" also first post here, went all in with the old school pool style as my main board.
From online pictures and measurements saw that this deck was almost identical to the first Winkowski pro model and made in the same woodshop, so as fan I bought it, since they don't sell any of the fancy santa cruz boards where I live. + the sticker aspect got my respect.

first thoughts... I love this board. super fun, my first time with Aces and I really enjoy them. However my back truck fell off and I need to go to the shop to get a new kingpin nut. that sucks. besides that, love love love this board.

I ran my aces finger tight until I had the same issue a while ago, rethread and some loctite got me right again though.
My buddy said at a certain point for loose enough trucks just cause diminishing returns and becomes a liability, which I don’t necessarily disagree with. BUT I’m just gonna keep riding my shit jiggly loose because it’s a solid flex when someone who is objectively way better skates on your deck and says some shit like, “ah man how do you skate this?” And you get the incredible cop out of bit landing tricks and blaming it on the trucks. “Ah dude I would have had if my trucks were tighter, but I just can’t do it.”

So I've been riding the Mutant shape fore the past year and I have to say it clearly is my favourite board of all time!
But now after months of riding the same shape I am on the lookout for something new.
Unfortunately I have one pet peeve when it comes to big boards: I don't like the fact that most boards >9.5 are only 31.x in length. I like the fact that the heroin board has a 32 length and it makes it suitable for every terrain.
Doe you guys know of any shapes in the 10' range that have a 32' length?
The last boards I rode where the Black Label Lance Mountain board, the Mutant and the Fixer Pig Tank.

Yes, some of the current Black Label decks are big with dual kicks (like normal boards) especially the Lucero street thing, but that is a BIG board, so maybe the Adams deck which is more normal sized.

I have rounded off the punk point on a few boards when people were not keen on having a nose like that, which still works well as it is usually very long.
The green giant Antihero eagle is back in DLX and that is 9.56 but also quite long, maybe too long.

Also that gross is so sweet
bro the beach bum shape looks soooo fun. i wonder if 8.5 trucks would fit tho on em? hmmm
who's getting the beach bum? same shape as the gnarhunterI almost did, but I'm a little hesitant on the length. Seems like it would be a nice contrast to my green giant.
Here’s my current set upI really want one of Donovan’s boards unfortunately they’re just to short for me. Or I’m to tall for them. Whichever fits. Rad setup and glad to see his boards getting some love.

This is my first big board just got it yesterday. So far it’s super super fun, going from 149s to 169s is an adjustment, maybe I should have gone for 159s not sure. Definitely recommend this board, it was only $50 at the shop. It’s made at bbs too.

Hey Skibb and Freelancevagrant, you guys got me stoked to get one too. Looking at the exact same board and graphic as you Skibb.
How much does it taper over the back trucks?
Thanks.

I mean, it tapers a bit of course. But it's 9.75" at its widest point and theres no hot rodding with my 9" Ace 55 Classics, so it's nothing crazy. Maybe a smidge under 9" at it's narrowest on the tail?

Welcome / Professor Schmitt 'Candy Bar' Rails
Been after the Candy Bars for years, stoked to get a few sets. Couldnt decide what colour to put on, so went classic. Man, these things slide... It's like they're full of wax. Amazing. They're basically Schmitt Stix Type II Rails, which were my favorite back in the day.
The board feels amazing, super crisp and the shape rules. Really similar to my Tired board I retired. I always wanted a New Deal back in the day, but they were too hard to get in suburban Australia.

Nice! Glad to hear it! I would love to see that, please put it up here or in the art section when it’s finished!
Here’s a list. It was a bit hard to get the likeness right. First off, because I haven’t drawn recently and I’m totally out of practice. But also I wanted to remove all facial hair, and sometimes that really changes the way someone looks (like Modi with his beard). But for some reason I left Mugabe’s bizarre little Hitler ‘stache on.

How do you like Indy 169s on this board? That's usually the only truck I'll ride, but I've been itching to try some Ace Classics. I also only ride F4 OG Classics, so this whole setup is uncharted territory.

Expand QuoteAnybody have experience with 9” popsicles from Clutch? Looking at a Roger but curious about wheelbase and general shape.[close]
I had a Blood Wizard 9” pop that was Clutch. Very tapered nose/ tail almost pointy. WB was 14.5, length a shade over 32 measuring straight/ not flat on deck. The thing that bummed me out is that I have 9” Aces and they stuck out- the deck was more like 8.8 when I measured. It was worse because of the taper, more like 8.7 near the trucks. It looks like they measure before they sand the rails and they REALLY round off the sides. The wood was great though, a little heavy but snappy and not too stiff.
Anyone know complete dimensions of this?
Specifically width at back truck?

Was that the OG (no) concave or the modern concave version?
The OG just has the slightest concave through the board and flat nose, only a turned up tail, which was a bit weird at first but worked for a cruiser.
The modern concave version was actually very steep when I stood on one a while back in a shop.

This is the modern concave, this is gonna be my main rider so I felt like having no concave or nose may have made a lot of tricks difficult. It is fairly steep, but I do a lot of slappys so I like when my feet feel locked in.
It's pretty exactly 9". Arguably 8.9 but close enough that it may just be 9". I had one in a dusty box so I pulled it out and measured it but I did the bottom instead of the top because I had a couple of beers. I would pull it out and do it again but I just washed the dust off my hands.Expand Quote

As per the pic 9.5 x 31.75 with 14.25 wb.
I don't think the dimensions have changed much if at all from when they first came out, but the one I have with 169s and normal sizes wheels fits well on both the front and back, so I am going with about / almost 9" still.
They definitely didn't taper down too much at the back compared to other boards, and on another similar deck I have 159s with wide Slimeballs wheels which also sits well.
There is one here (on 215s), with subsequent comments after it (some people saying 169 or 159s were good):

Wheelbase. This won't help with your current deck but if you can find a wide board with a tiny wheelbase its way easier to get tech. Also small wheels.

WB/ overall length. I just retired a 9” pop that was 33”+. Flirting with a longboard. I’m not tech at all, but even fs rocks were hard on that thing, and some small shit was just unskateable.

Just standing on and rolling around the apartment feels crazy. Looking down and just not seeing a nose is super alien to me, even the dane 1 had more than this. It also feels like it's crazy tall-like I have risers on or something. I'm sure part of that is fresh af1s after riding broken in classics yesterday though.
Here's the measurements I took from it
Length: 30.5"
width (widest): 10.34"
width (front truck): 9"
width (back truck): 8.25"
WB: a fat 14.75, could call it 14.875
nose: 5"
tail: 6.75

Follow his IG. Once a week, he'll post shapes he'll be making that week and how many orders he'll be taking. Once his order goes live, he'll take orders (some order multiple decks) until all slots are filled.
Right now, I think he took a couple of weeks off to decompress, skate, and mess around with new shapes.
He's a legit good dude who just wants to make boards. This is his side gig/hobby, so understandably, he needs his time as well.
I'm on a 10" with 215s and it's a super fun slappy set up.

EDIT: Found this (https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=84855.msg3057782#msg3057782), so 169s should be perfect.[close][close]
It is a typo. The Couch is like 9" over the front truck and 8.625"-8.75" over the back truck. 169s will stick out a little in the back.[close]
Thanks! I think I still have some old 159s so I can try both. Prefer 169s though.[close]
Give it a shot! Might be totally fine. Please post pics if you do.

Absolutely gorgeous my friend.
Favorite shape, favorite skater, and one of my favorite skaters. +1 and I can’t wait to see it fully set up.
@EvenStevieNicks those Indys on the huffer look kind of like an older stage from the hangar shape, but I could be tripping. Anyone more well-versed on the stages able to chime in?
Anyway, nice stuff overall!
Thanks for the report and good luck with your knee! The Heroin setup looks so good, following up on the earlier conversation about it I am now fully set on getting one.
Have some 53mm OG Classics that I wanted to sell but might save for the occasion. Also seems like a good opportunity to try Ace, they look perfect on there.
My wallet hurts but it’s good to go in and try out new stuff once every decade or so. ;)

Good eye. I stopped skating at 31 when my career got cookin' and these were the trucks I was on at the time. I'd say maybe I bought them in 2008/9?
Finally nabbed a Krooked Beamer. What a journey.
Someone in this thread put me onto Prject, so I hit them up a few months ago and they called me when they came in. Legends. Then I put the order in with my local skate shop and they sent it to them with their next order. I got it for $260 AU which with exchange rate and the rest seems fine. I’ve justified it as it’s basically like buying 2 boards. And it’s rad as shit.Expand QuoteFinally nabbed a Krooked Beamer. What a journey.[close]
They came in to AU in the most recent Project Distribution DLX delivery as some went out to a couple of shops I saw, but they are still super limited.
Where did you get yours and for normal board prices or crazy "Grosso collectors" type of price?

Here’s where I am at with my current setup exploration:
Gonzales Sweatpants 9.81
169 Indys with Bones Hard bushings and 1/8" risers
F4 Conical Full 56mm
Bronson G3
Been skating this setup for a while, both street and bowl. Last change was going up to 56mm Conical Fulls, which has been a mixed bag. Super smooth, fast, and controlled especially on rough ground, however the board is quite draining to pop and really hard to flip. Gives me a lot of confidence, but I can feel my pop fading mid session already.

That Gonz looks so good, and makes me want to set one up (just got two from the most recent delivery) but also the 169s look perfect on it too.
Not too wide in the back at all.
The pics scale down for the window here anyway, or so I thought. Not too big on screen is it?
Just put [ img ] around at least the top and bottom views like this and I think you would be fine (then I will cut this pic out so it is just from your post).
Looks sick! Do you cut down kingpin and bushing by exactly the same amount?
I just ordered some Scram Bomber Boards:
Have you guys ever skated one of these? I am curious.
These days I just buy boards in bulk that are 10 inch wide, cause I go through boards pretty quick.
The only thing that bothers me about the Bomber is the length. I prefer 32 inches but i hope 31.75 doesn't make a difference.

Those ones are really good - overall a bit shorter due to a slightly shorter nose, so at least wheelbase and tail would be fairly normal.
I guess it depends how much you use the nose, but even a bit less on the nose is still good for most things.
When it is down to only a few inches and flat, things start to get harder, eg that Natas shape that all the fuss was about not so long ago.
Did some looking and found this:
https://energyskateshop.com/products/copy-of-scram-btp-dogii-deck-9-75?variant=35184213524643 (https://energyskateshop.com/products/copy-of-scram-btp-dogii-deck-9-75?variant=35184213524643)
Width: 10.0"
Length: 31.75"
Wheelbase: 14.75"
If you wanted a shorter wheelbase, you could always drill it down.
How old are you?
I properly learned slappies 2 years ago, at 43.
You actually don’t need to go that fast providing you have a nicely buttered curb.
And once you get the technique down, it’s much lower impact that ollieing.
Big solid board and looser trucks help with this. Looks like you got a great setup for it.

Almost 35. But a lot older at heart. Bum knee.
Really it's just my overall lack of confidence. Picked it up last year partially because I never even felt comfortable rolling at all. Got past that, but I'm just chicken shit in general haha

Hey y’all I’m here to ask for some advice.
I’ve been skating 8.5x32x14.5 decks on 159 (8.75) Indys and F4 conical fulls for a while but something doesn’t feel right anymore.
Thing is I’m considering going up to a 9 inch wide (not sure which model yet) and so I’d like to ask what’s the pros and cons of going up to a 9? (Keeping the rest of my setup the same)
Note: I’m 6 tall, size 10us, 180lb. I ride miniramps and small bowls 90% of the time and love transition but will eventually do a few simple grinds on small ledges and like 5 flip flatground tricks haha.
Also would you recommend a deck shape or brand? I like AH and Baker decks.

Best bet for you is going to be an egg. They transition you into the wonderful world of big shaped boards. They skate like a wider popsicle, more stable in transition, and they are a lot more forgiving because of the extra real estate. Plus they are just super fun.
Here’s what I would recommend as far as eggs/footballs go:
Anti Hero:
Cardiel huffer shape - 9.18” x 32.62” / 14.81” WB
Gerwer Egg - 9.1” x 32” / 14.5” WB
Black Label:
Reuter - 9” x 32.8” / 14.5” WB
Crail:
Phawt - 9.12” x 32.625” / 14.75” WB (basically a huffer Craig made for CK)
Primitive:
Villani - 9.125” x 32.187” / 14.43” WB
Heroin:
Dead Dave’s Mutant Egg - 9.4” x 31.625” / 14.4” WB
Symmetrical Egg - 9” x 31.75” / 14.375” WB
Standard Egg - 9.125” x 32.187” / 14.43” WB
The villani egg is the exact same as the heroin egg. When villani got on he wanted the exact egg shape and fos hooked it up for him. Best dude.

If you’re not doing a lot of flip tricks, there is no real downside to going bigger, except that once you go bigger, it’s hard to go small again.
Oh, and depending on what kind of grinds you do, if you move up to a larger truck (you don’t need to, you can keep 159s on a 9er), the lock-in will be a bit different, and you’ll have more play on the hangar.

How would length affect the ride?
I mean regular popsicles 9 wide are around 33 long / 15wb.
Whereas a shaped can be only 31.5 long keeping the same 15wb and width. (I know those will have less nose). So curious to try one…
I feel like long decks are harder to kickturn, slash, shuv, tre-flip and other rotation tricks.

If you can find those, why not go for it? The HLC 9" is really good, even though I'd appreciate a deeper concave. Heroin 9" is on my list to try, love BBS decks. Waiting for the new catalogue to drop this week. Never skated a Dwindle deck, so not sure about Enjoi.

I skated a couple of HLC boards and I didn't like it, broke them in less than a month and they were too flat for me. I'm not a big fan of Enjoi and all Heroin popsicles i can find are located in UK. I'm based on Spain and the shipping is expensive nowadays + there's chance of paying taxes.
I will check the Über deck, I asked them were they press them but my guess it's HLC too.

Board is pretty flat but I like that a lot. I really hope for Black Label to put out another board with that shape.
This is the perfect board in my opinion, I even prefer it over the Mutant shape.
Now I am really excited for my Scram Bombers. Hopefully it can compete with those two shapes

Can you measure the width of the deck where the axles sit, nose and tail? Thanks!
Anyone tried the Girl loveseat shapes in 9 or 9.25 with Aces? I'm thinking on putting my AF1 66 on one of those, but would the the axles stick out too much on the 9" deck?66's will stick out way too far on the loveseat imo. I tried 55's on it and I knew it wouldn't work without even skating it. Ventures and Indy both work great if that helps.

It's about 9.6 over the front and rear trucks. 169 indys would probably work and Ace 77s would fit perfect. There's a little axle poking out from the 215s which doesn't bother me

I think it depends on the stuff you skate. I have a curb/lazy day setup with 48mm F4 classics. But I never figured out if smaller or bigger wheels are better for curbs?
Alhough the smaller ones are more fun (for me).

So I just got done with my first lunch session on the bomber and I have to say it's a very good board.
Similar to the BlackLabel Board (Lance Mountain guest board) I skated before this.
I even managed to do all the tricks pretty quickly that I was afraid of losing because of the short nose.

Can anyone chime in on what the supply situation of these is? Didn’t fully understand the info in yesterday’s Heroin live feed on Insta. Are these sold out with minimal online appearance, or were the ones out there early bird sales with the majority of decks hitting stores after the catalogue drops on Monday? I desperately want to try this shape and missed out on the original Bigger Egg.

There were shipping delays getting the decks to most of the shops, the ones you're seeing out in the wild came from shops that got their orders on time. When the catalog drops, the direct to consumer sales start, so they're holding it back to allow the shops that had their orders delayed a chance to get the boards and sell them, before the distributor starts competing with them.

I can chime in before 144p gets on here.. I have 161 hollows on a 9" Polar pop and 9.5 shaped decks and they are amazing. I believe They are my first set of Thunders in 30 something years of skating so I didn't know what to expect. I did have to swap the bushings out for 94's because I'm about 210 lbs.

yeah rode 161's today and can't get down with the swirliness of the stock bushings. even had an ace top in. need harder thunder replacement bushings for sure. I also just don't really like the type of turn they offer either thoughJay do you run risers with them? I disliked how these "dive" into a turn(wheel bite) with no risers and with stock bushings. But when I added 1/8" risers with harder bushings it was game on.

The age old question. What makes a man a man, the size of his deck, or the size of his truck
My buddy knew I was doing some ditch skating today and gifted me a board he had gripped and put on ice. I appreciate the grip job just wish that it was in black, but I can not complain at all. Loving the size and shape and always appreciate a good friend hooking me up with some cool shit. I also was just in California visiting my brother and I was able to get some shit from his house that I had been storing since 2014 which is how I came up on the wheels and the old Indys.

Look who’s on a set of Indy’s :P

Ha I'm going to have to try it so I can use that excuse! It truly is amazing to me that guys can ride them jiggly, I don't think I can even push my wheels to the board by hand :-[Expand QuoteLook who’s on a set of Indy’s :P

They’re coming your way soon my dude! Sorry you gotta get new bushings though.
@Seventyfuhkinseven I don’t ride all of them that loose but I blame Matt Rodriquez. I normally only ride aces but will never cut down the bushings or remove washers, but still ride them jiggly loose. But I found those indys and will always get my front truck as loose as possible. I do keep my back truck a little bit tighter and keep the bottom washer on, but still jiggly.
Honestly, it’s pretty fun once you get used to it. It helps with slappys but it takes time and a few payments to the concrete tax, especially with transition. But it’s also my favorite flex when I let someone who is objectively way better than me ride my set up and they say some shit like wooooah how do you skate like this. It’s also a great excuse for not landing shit. “Oh man I totally would have had that if my shit was a little bit tighter, but I just can’t do it.”

Wow, that’s a radical shape! I am awaiting one of their 9.5" eggs, really curious about the quality of the wood.

I had several Blasts before. Can't complain about the wood
(https://i.imgur.com/Gf7UoaC.jpg)Is there a huge difference with such a big wb? I go on 9" pop kicks all the time and I am always too chickenshit to try one of these. I have it in my head that I will lose my fliptricks for some reason. The AH 9's seem like they are always available too..that is definitely not the case for Polar 9" pops.
Orange Eagle, stamped “I”, Classic 55s and F4 99 Classics worn down to about 50mm. This thing is much longer than my 9” Polar I was just on, but it feels good. I was skating a deck with a 14”wb like 4 months ago and this fucker is 15” haha.

Thanks for the insight man, I am finishing a 9" Polar right now. Next is a 9" stump which I am excited about, but I know those are rare too so I think I will try the AH after.Expand QuoteIs there a huge difference with such a big wb?

Exactly the reason I wanted to try the AH. I just want to know if I’ll be able to rely on this shape or if I’m gonna have to wait on Polar drops/try to find other alternatives.
After one session at the curbs last night and one at the park today, I really don’t notice a giant difference. All my standard tricks work and feel good, except for kickflips - BUT i blame that on the shoes. I’m still trying to get used to the flick on shelltoes. They went to shit on my Polar too as soon as I switched to these Pro Models (and I was doing the best kickflips of my life on that Polar with my Fastbreaks.) I’m confident I can get the kickflips worked out.
I had been working on bs/fs flips and 360 flips a lot recently but have not tried those on the AH, it could be a disaster once I do but I gotta figure out the flick with these shoes first.
I think it’s worth noting I’m 6’5” and all legs.
That tip with the shelltoes worked like a charm @Seventyfuhkinseven Quick session before work this morning and I’m loving the board and shoes now. Thanks homie!Hell ya!!!
Sadly the 58mm 97A Conical Fulls never seemed to reach Finland, only 54mm.
Would it be stupid to use an egg as a cruiser/slappy board? I have a black label adams 9.5ish punk point which I use for this purpose currently with 87a wheels - are egg boards built more around actually skating them (like Villani, Axel, etc)?
I previously had a heroin streetballer shape which was way more fun than my current setup - could slappy, ride transition, 360 flip if you felt like doing more than just cruising. Almost none of this shit feels good on the punk point

I had ordered a Dane 1 but the shop doesn't seem to want to send it, so I got this as a consolation prize.
Redrilled the WB with the Chems tool since 14.5" is longer than I like. Also made my first sad attempt at a surf stripe. I got to skate it for an hour and so far I love it, feels good to have put the 44s on and not bugged out thinking I needed new trucks.

I like the idea of the 44 on that, must feel like a surfboard
the tiredskateboards.asia website messed up my order. i ordered the Golf Deal 9.375" deck. but when i received it today, the width is actually 8.875". The sticker on the deck says 9.375". plus the 8.875” deck is cheaper then the 9.375". already msg them on insta. waiting for a reply.

My Sigar was listed as 9.25" x 32.25" with a 14" WB, but it ended up being 9" x 31.625" with a 14.38" WB. Ended up loving it and still keep it in rotation, but yeah. I think all their measurements are just wrong.

wanted to order the 9.5 Blast along with the Snelling deck but they didnt have it on their site. i've been skating some Blast decks since big Heroin decks are rare in mainland Europe since the pandemic hit. i think the concave feels similiar, i hope you'll like it.
i would love to get my hands on a Mutant Egg or better, the 10" egg for a curb setup. but theres about a 6 months delay now. and even then not sure if they will hit any stores in my country.
i asked in the setup thread but is there any difference in the couch and loveseat shapes aside from the .25 in width?

Yeah from what I gather you guys are still a month or two away from having them available at all, even in the states they're hard to get.

im able to reserve the decks at my local who orders them half a year in advance. but i reserved the Mutant and it never arrived. reserved the Goldrush and it never arrived. reserved the first Dead Dave pro deck and it never arrived. i really dont know whats going on with the euro distribution but its really bad. but seems to be getting better now
only over 9.5 board they got in a years time was the Giallo Dead Dave. and that was a month ago. half a year after its release.
the Blast mascot is such a great graphic indeed. and yellow boards are my favorite color too. i hope they keep making them so i can still grab one someday.

im able to reserve the decks at my local who orders them half a year in advance. but i reserved the Mutant and it never arrived. reserved the Goldrush and it never arrived. reserved the first Dead Dave pro deck and it never arrived. i really dont know whats going on with the euro distribution but its really bad. but seems to be getting better now
only over 9.5 board they got in a years time was the Giallo Dead Dave. and that was a month ago. half a year after its release.
the Blast mascot is such a great graphic indeed. and yellow boards are my favorite color too. i hope they keep making them so i can still grab one someday.[close]

How are FA 9"s? The measurements seems similar to the anti hero orange eagle.
I was on a 9 polar and i Loved the mellow kicks & the 14.5WB.
Got a 8.75 AH White eagle which feels like a tank in comparison with the 14.65 WB.
How are FA 9"s? The measurements seems similar to the anti hero orange eagle.i skated a hockey 9, and its the same shape and dims as the 9 inch ah eagle, doesnt have the hockey nose. the 8.75 does have the nose tho, and the 14.5 wb is nice too

I can never find a shape I like so I said screw it and decided to just make my own. I got an uncut blank with a truck jig relatively cheap from a place nearby (Scouthut Skateboards). Spent a week or so messing about with shape ideas then went for it. Cut on a home bandsaw and edged with a rasp and sandpaper. Couple coats of yacht varnish to seal it, then a quick masking tape paint job.

Square nose and Popsicle tail
Ace Classic 66

While not perfect I really like it so far, could do with making the tail a little bit longer as it's a bit stubby. Definitely going to try again once this one is dead!
Has anyone set up the latest Gross Black Label deck?
Have one coming my way and I don't want to keep it on ice.
I know the widest says 10.25" but do you guys think 215s would be too much? Or should I go 169s?

unless you riding skinny wheels i wouln't put 215s on it. it tapers a lot in the back, its at best 9" at the back truck. i don't have it so can't measure anything though. but from the ones i've seen setup almost everyone had Indy 169 or Ace 66s on it.
think people that do run 215s on it (remember seeing it once), already rode them and just accept the hotrod. thats what i did on my Callum McRobbie deck too.
i would never recomend buying 215s for fish shaped decks.

damn thats legit so much cheaper to get Blast than it is in mainland europe these days. since brexit is in full effect we have to pay extra import fees for UK orders. legit paid double the price with shipping and import fees on my last one. they need a good euro distributor.
got the new Snelling in last monday. this is actually the first time i bought a shape twice. really solid deck.

Shameless question in response. How come 9"+ popsicles with 14-14.25" WB are so rare? Does this involve custom orders that increase cost, or is there an assumption that most people are buying wide boards for transition? I believe 9-9.25" popsicles with short WB and medium to high concave would sell well, but obv the sample size of people I have talked to is rather small.

I am seeing brands adapt to the larger board short wb but anything over 8.75 is very rare sub 14.5 wb
My theory is a handful of customers who prefer giant wb(15+) are so vocal that woodshops/brands think that is the normal dimension for that size.
Also brands try to make what the team rides and I don't see too many mainstream brands with riders using 8.75+ size decks that aren't older and prefer larger wb.
NHS has the stumps boards because andrew cannon rides that size 8.8-9, Ron Whaley too and they bother prefer short wb.
DLX had a 8.75 14.25 wb pre covid that I tested and was told would be coming out but assuming wood shortages and such pushed that back.
I also see a mentality from most brands that can't relate to a 9+ popsicle because they live and skate in an area that rarely goes above 8.5.
I've also seen people sizing down quite a bit too and we are selling more 8-8.125 than before.
Brands like Heroin capitalize on that niche because they have riders who like and ride that stuff. As common as you might think larger decks are, the majority of ours are sold online and out of state.
I can't see larger decks with short wb over 8.5 being a huge movement any time soon.
The numbers just aren't quite apparent to the brands out there.

Agreed. I like Ace so I have no choice but to use Classic 55s (or AF1 66s) but really an 8.75" axle truck will fit best on this deck. I'm hearing Ace might actually come out with one soon. I think they will work best on the long WB of these boards.

Question, I’m looking at that blast 9.5 eggy shape. Anyone had that and have some dimensions on it?
Got a pair of ace AF1 77s and I’m looking for a new deck to pair it with and looking for a good fit.
Yeah the af1 66’s are a better fit for the 9.5 egg. Something like the dead Dave 10 that has minimal taper would work much better for the 77

The original Mutant looks so good. I had plenty of them, then they put the Dead Dave graphic on that shape, and eventhough I like Dead Dave a lot, the graphic isn't one of my favourites.
I wish they would reprint the original Mutant graphic in some different colors. Imagine a whole assorted set of colors for the mutant.

So the 77's fit perfect. The width is 9.6 over the front trucks and 9.5 over the rear trucks. 66s would definitely work as well but 77s give a perfect fit

How do the AF1 77s fit on it? Could you be kind and measure the width over the axles? :-* I have AF1 66s and classic 55s but would have no problem getting either classic 66s or AF1 77s for it.[close]
So the 77's fit perfect. The width is 9.6 over the front trucks and 9.5 over the rear trucks. 66s would definitely work as well but 77s give a perfect fit[close]
Nice! Thanks for the info. Now I just gotta find that board somewhere. :)

Yeah, that one doesn’t even ship to Europe (except Sweden, oddly). Been trying to hunt one down myself to no avail. The second batch is selling out in the US now while the board has not been available online in the EU at any point.
They probably don't have them yet, but Ponke's in Helsinki carries Heroin and it seems like they got the last batch of stuff earlier than most of europe.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteCurrent setups

I got the mutant egg from there about a month ago. Last one they had. I also asked my local if they’d be willing to get me a curb killer and they said they’d be down but they don’t know if and when they could get them. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that either of them will get one and they won’t sell out so fast I’ll miss it.

Yup. Even worst is not many online shop ship to my country in South East Asia. i got the symmetrical egg which sells for almost usd100 from a skateshop sumwer in another south east asia country. Even the Girl/Chocolate boards cost extra usd10 from the normal crailtap store. But the shipping cost is bearable..most of the time no tax will be charged.

wait is there no shops in general where you're at? or just not the boards you want?
i see tons of people ride Scram in Thailand while here in Europe i can't even find them. whenever i do find a shop that carries them they're sold out. some of their shapes look fun.
back to Heroin in Europe, since last year i've kinda been curious about how the distribution works here and i actually expected there to just be like one big distributer for all of mainland europe. i was surprised to find out almost every country got their own distributor here.
while only 15 Curb Killers going to France doesnt sound like much, i'd be surprised if that many would even sell in my country. don't think big boards are that populair here in the Netherlands. and from what i understood the Netherlands might not even get any Curb killers at all. atleast not at my local.

Big fan so far. This is my first time skating something poured by Creative and they feel great on rough ground. Also, now that the tread is worn off the slide really well.

Curious as to what grip folks prefer? Assuming 9”+ sheets. Looking for longevity rather than initial absolute grippiness; I don’t shred shoes and I often wear out the grip well before the deck is done.
yeah usually Jessup or Jessup Ultra for me. dont really have a preference there. also don't care if its a 9" sheed as i cut it up and play with it anyway.Expand QuoteCurious as to what grip folks prefer?

Jessup Ultragrip. It also comes in 10" these days but that isn't very widely available at least where I live. Better grip than normal Jessup, wears down slower than normal Jessup or Mob. My current 9.25" I gripped with 9" Jessup Ultragrip. I just put it mostly in 9" strips there. Bit more cumbersome than gripping straight with a sheet wide enough but I don't mind as I like to fiddle with my grip anyway. :)

Also curious how many people are in the "must have wide grip" category or how many are in the "make whatever I have work" category?
At one point there was no wide grip available, only the 9 x 33 sheets, or even the 8 x 32 sheets going back a long time, so we would cut that up, run it sideways, put racing stripes, or do anything just to make a smaller sheet fit a bigger board.
I know some people would even use part or half another sheet just to try to cover the whole board with minimal to no gaps, or others who would not even set up a new big board if they didn't have a total black top cover (as in a single sheet to totally cover the whole board) which was not much fun for them.
Even the orange eagles are a bit too long for a normal sheet, so either the nose gets a little trim, or somewhere in the middle gets a small gap, from boards I have set up in the last year or so for people.
Any recommendations for Indy 169s?
I had a Heroin Streetballer (9.75 at its widest, squared off tombstone shape) that I loved and rode to death. This was mostly for cruising, curbs, and some goof-around flatground, not my normal setup.
I've tried a Polar Dane (too short wb), Black Label punk point (I can't even explain what I disliked about this), and now Heroin Mutant shape (10.3) which is way too big and wheelbites constantly. Please tell me there's some shaped board I can use and that I don't have to give up and just ride a 9" pop as a cruiser/fuck around board...

Do you know what sort of wheelbase you do like?
Short - 14.25 and under
Med - 14.5 give or take
Long - 15+
As you said, Polar Dane is only 14.1 or so, which is very short. The Black Label Jason Adams boards are usually on the shorter side too (often dual wheelbase at 14 and 14.5), but Black Label do make some great boards in the 9+ range, eg Lucero 9.25 which has a long wheelbase that can also be drilled back, a couple of Antihero shaped eagles (short wb yellow 9.55 wide and long wb green 9.56 wide), Scram shaped 9.5 or 9.75 if you can find them, Welcome 9.25 in a couple of shapes, so there are quite a few out there that work on 169s.
I can post a whole lot of links to various board shapes too, depending on where you are, eg USA, EU, AU, etc.
169’s go with anything about 9” over the back truck with the right wheelbase- 14.25~15. I’ll stick with 169’s on 10’s too, but use a wide old school wheel. Or 10” trucks and regular wheels. Usually skate 56mm+ wheels on bigger decks and risers are usually required. I’m not above adding wheel wells, either. My last few were: Winkowski birdcage, Black Label Adams punkpoint (liked it better on 8.75’s) Powell Ripper (the one with the modern concave and 4-5” nose, big assed deckcrafters square boat - switched to 184’s, Black Label Lucero racing stripe.
If you like Heroin, the Craig Questions/Behemoth 9.5 is really close to what I’m riding & loving now. The AH green eagle would be in there, too.

Fuck I wish I could get my hands on a Winkowski. Thought about trying the Madness blunt shape (10") to see if it was similar even but I guess I have to be more careful with buying 10" and up decks. I thought the mutant dead dave shape would be fine (even with big old school wheels) but I'm still getting bad wheelbite, which was never a problem for me previously.
I agree the punk points felt better on 159s... I wonder if it's just because they cut away so much at the back or what. Definitely the surf-iest shape I've ridden but I couldn't keep locked in on 5050s for some reason and it got real skittish at speed for me

Yeah, the Winkowski situation is fucked up. They were ubiquitous for years- 2&3 graphics out at a time; has anyone had more sig wheels? Next thing you know, resellers are getting 3 bills on eBay. Hopefully they’ll put them out regularly again, but SC seems to have gone full hype /limited run/FOMO on their reissues and shapes. Anyway, based off photos, I’d say the madness blunt would be a good Winkowski alternative.
Trigonometry and that bitch physics definitely fuck you on bigger boards. More lean for a given input and board/wheel contact at a lower angle. I was going to say wheelbite doesn’t bug me, but I routinely get pitched coming out of slappys at the wrong angle.
My biggest concern with punkpoints is that the pointy ass nose is going to do my Achilles like that tyke with the scalpel in Pet Cemetery. Razor top decks, too. Both thankfully usually result in premature chips that I’ll either re-glue or retire the board.

Did you find the Green Giant to be really slow and heavy? I really like the shape under my feet but there's just something about it I can't gel with, and I tend to grab other boards instead.

I’ve been skating 8.75s but finally stepped up to my first 9. It’s the loveseat shape. The short wheelbase makes it still easy to pop and flip. I’m interested to see if it feels too squirrelly on transition though. I skated a 5 foot quarter and it felt normal so I’m hoping it’s fine.
I won a Heroin Curb Killer from their latest contest and I wanna make a dedicated curb setup out if it, but I was wondering which size trucks to get. I have some Ace 55s laying around but I guess that they'll be a tad narrow on a 10 inch egg. Indy 215s seem to stick out a bit as the egg shape tapers quite a lot, any suggestions on the best fitting truck?

oh damn you won it, thats sick! congrats.
i got word they should be hitting shops in the netherlands soon aswell.
anyway i heard the Ace AF1 77s are the best fit for it.
but 215's are a lot of fun to skate. those with small wheels made slappys so easy for me.
but i'll probably set mine up with my 196's since thats what my street setup has already. that is if i ever get one ofcourse.

Congrats! Super fun board.
I've skated it with 77s and 215s. It tapers to 9.6 over the trucks so 77s do fit bitter and in general make the board feel more nimble. The 215's make it feel really stable and I don't really notice them poking out. I would say it comes down to your preference in Ace vs. Indy but if you plan on doing anything tech or flipping it, definitely get the 77s

They do? I'm still looking for a Zane Timpson Theatre deck but I have yet to see one in a European store. If you're looking for Heroin decks in The Netherlands I could recommend checking out Route One, the UK webshop, they stock them for better prices than Skatestore, even with shipping from the UK. Don't really know what their policy is on taxing since Brexit, but I've seen a lot of shops guarantee no extra costs on shipping acros the border.
Anyone know the dims on this? I know it’s 9 1/2” and about a 14.25 wb but they don’t have anything on the site other than width.

out with the old, in with the new.
its a shame i coulnt skate the last 2 months due to an injury, would've liked to get some more sessions on the Siamese. but i can't sit on the Craig Questions any longer. i've skated the 10" Big Guy shape before and that one was so good. the new 9.5 shape is a slimmed down version of the Big Guy, can barely see the diffrence, its a bit slimmer in the middle, wheelbase is the same, tail is the same and the nose is a little shorter. i'm sure im going to like this one.

Did you drill the back truck back on the orange eagle? And if so, why? I don't want to diss you, I am just curious to know. Both setups look really fun.
^That's a nice shape and I'm really glad that brands are putting out shaped boards with smaller wheelbases these days

Interesting that the other boards have the more normal length and wheelbases, but the shaped board is shorter, which might make it more fun for those who want that sort of thing.
I went looking for the top to see the shape better and found a good one of it.
I can see the BBS hologram sticker on the top of these boards (over the back truck bolts) so it would be interesting to see if they are the same everywhere.
As per the previous post, the site also has all dimensions of these decks, which is always nice.

But really, I always find if a tail is shorter than what I am used to, it throws everything off, but if it is longer, it is way less of an issue and easier to skate.
Might just be me though, but I would take a board with a 6.75" every time over a 6.5" tail.

I ordered one of those uma roman decks, hoping its like the ba or polar 1992.Did you get a Roman for the shop? I was gonna order one but I figured I'd wait to see if you guys got it in
I got a dressen slick and it sat for a few weeks and warped already, pretty bummed.
Originally the indy 169 had a 9.5 inch axle and the 159 had the 9 inch. Now the 169s indy produces are only 9 inches wide. 215's are fuckin useless so if you want a wide truck the biggest is the 9 which is wack for a full sized 10 inch board. ACE 66's are 9.5 but they bend. Indy if you're out there make a real 169 thank you.
That's gonna be tough, been a few months at least since scram dropped any of those and they sold real quick.
Yeah unfortunately I don’t think it’ll happen and if it did it would just be a random ebay reseller

As far as the wood, PS Stix make decent boards, a bit more mellow than some woodshops, those dimensions look pretty good, like some other PS Stix cruiser / bigger board shapes I have from other companies, so I would say although I haven't seen or skated that one, they would be a "thumbs up" from me.
** I also copied your post and added it to the woodshop thread, as the top pic is good for reference.

@shpongle just hooked it up with the anti-hero old yeller deck. 9.9", 16wb!!!!!!
I've got a set of satori softies on the way from a Craigslist person tmrw but what sorta trucks should I throw on???
I've got a new set 159s, venture 5.6, and ACE 33s. Not thinking any of em will feel right.
Never had a dedicated cruiser. Closet thing I'd ever had was a REAL Aces series shovel head with 159s and 56mm F4s that doubled as a pool and street board.
Help me, please :o ??? ::)

If I recall correctly, the Ol' Yeller is 9.75" over the front trucks and 9.5" over the back.
I would think the 159s would work if getting a new set of trucks isn’t in the cards for ya right now.
Personally, I’d say grab a set of 66 classics, 77 af1’s, or 215’s.

I'm looking for some feedback on the ND Siamese or maybe the 9.8 Gonz sweatpants. They would be used for regular skating, flip tricks..curbs ledges extra. And run em with 6.1 Ventures. Thanks yo.i liked the Siamese. but the nose was a bit short. did my noseslides on my tail cause that felt more comfortable. Sweatpants has a normal nose.
Thanks man I wasn't sure on the length of the nose. That makes it a no go. The Gonz is looking good but something similar shaped but in the 9.5 range would be even better.

Sweatpants I have are maybe 9.3 over the front but 8.8 over the back, so that would work well on those trucks. Also 14.38 wheelbase is about medium, not long or short, which makes it a fairly good all rounder too.

I've got both the Siameses and Sweatpants. I'd recommend the Sweatpants. I want to pick up another one. Mine is getting pretty thrashed; its gets a lot of use.
The main drawback for me with the Siamese was the 14" wheelbase. But maybe you like a short WB. I had mine set up with 6.1's & 54 F4 Conical full. I've got the Sweatpants, WB 14.38, set up with 169s & 60mm Classic F4's. And it's still very nimble.
Wood wise, the Sweatpants is superior with that BBS. Siamese is Prime and very flat feeling. The concaves are like bank ramps instead of transition ala BBS.
When one of my friends saw the Siamese set up for the first time, he said it looked like a turtle. I can't get that out of my head, and its so true. All round and short.
In the last 6 months or so; I've really cut down the size of my quiver. At one point I had 19 completes; with Indys, Thunder, Aces & Ventures of all sizes. It was fun, but in the end it just made it more clear what I like and what I skate the best on: Indys and a wheelbase of 14.25 - 14.5.

About to pull the trigger on one of these…anyone skated it?
Thanks man!!
One of the guys I know has the New Deal Siamese (which is on Dwindle wood here in AU) and it felt short and squat, probably much the same as others, so as said, unless you like short boards, it was not comfortable to me.
I can see it in that top pic for sure.
Sweatpants, both views, top and bottom, just in case you needed it...

Shape is FUN once you get used to the concave/tail/flat nose.

I’ve got that Winki in the slimmed down “street”version- bit more nose, no whale tail. Retired due to shiny grip, but tons of life left. I should regrip. Cruz missile II concave is sick.
Also have the hair-o-ween “street baller” version.

I’m still hoping I’ll get the curb killer somewhere eventually. Been thinking if the purple Ace 66s would look rad on it. Not a big fan of colored trucks but I’m not against them either. For a big egg shape going for some slightly ridiculous looking trucks should work nicely I think. :)

ya they are! sole of the right shoe started peeling (my back foot, i'm regular) in a few places after 1 week of light skating! they've offered me a replacement. gonna see if this super glue holds better than the shoe goo that didn't...before i decide to send em back. i really love these, maybe it's just the new grizzly grip????

Got this 9.5 Craig Questions shape to try something different, and thus far I'm really liking it. Just have a question about wider decks, does anyone find that they snap faster? I have snapped 2 out of 3 Heroin eggs in about a month of skating them, even though I've never snapped any of my 8.5 popsicles. Just bad luck or does anyone experience the same thing on their Heroin decks?
I was hoping that wouldn't be the issue but damn I sure hope that's not true for this one. Snapping two eggs after about 1 month of skating them made me fed up with big boards for a while, but I just love what Heroin stands for as a company too much to stop riding their decks.
The first one broke on the inner holes of the nose while ollieing into a small drop and landing in the worst possible position. The second one was actually on a flatground ollie over a parking block, landed a bit weird and cracks started to show around the middle of the deck. It's not like I'm ollieing down 10 stairs on them or anything. It all happened during low impact stuff where I mess up on my landing.

Yeah, it's all part of the game and I'm not blaming the brands. Just thought it was striking that only my 9+ BBS decks snapped and all my 8.5 DLX decks were fine. My 8.9 Fried Egg was fine after months of skating it so that made me wonder if the bigger size had anything to do with it.

Love that graphic.
I’ve got the same one in the stack. Im also currently skating that same shape with the Trash Panda graphic.
Shape is FUN once you get used to the concave/tail/flat nose.
How are you planning to set it up?[close]
Just set this Heroin up thinking this would be the closest to a Winkowski I'd ever get

How is the eyeballer shape wise compared to the winkowski? I had a couple winkowskis but had to stop skating them due to have no nose. Looks like the eyeballer has a little more nose
2 back to back busy work weeks with a visit to my parents / my sister and niece during the weekend in between means very minimal skating. I skated like shit on Saturday (not that I'm especially good, I'm just someone who needs to skate 3-4 times a week to feel normal on a board usually), so I stopped by the shop Saturday and saw this weird ass shape and thought it might be fun to mess around on.

Frog board that's 10.25 at the widest and 8.5 at the skinniest which is right at the back truck.
Some old 149 hollows I picked up around 5 years back - tossed some new bones mediums in there (back truck feels a little squirrelly but I skate ventures on my primary board so that might be the reason)
54 OJ Keyframes- I might swap these out with a set of 58 mm f4 Spitfire OG Classics I've been sitting on
Reds
Mob (Normally I ride jessup but it's what they handed me at the shop. It's not like I specified anything and I'm cool with it.)
(https://i.imgur.com/UVkPIiHl.jpg)
Gripping it was odd because it's wider than a sheet of grip and this was the only thing I could think of that would work.
A little clip from when I first set it up Saturday afternoon and then a little test ride around the skate park when I proceeded to suck at skating on my regular set up Sunday morning. All the tricks I normally do but this board is pretty fun to mess around on. Please have mercy on my nollie flip and switch flip off the "nose" of this thing. I figured out how to do things off the nose now but these were my first attempts.

I re drilled it to 14.25 but it felt off.Thanks for trying the redrill on the loveseat. I was gonna try that if I couldn't find something with a 14.25wb
Also I have short legs Thom so the length didn’t bother me.
Wheel wells! You have to skate that thing at some point. Hang until next summer and then shred.

Just got the Curb Killer Meme Contest deck in the mail and I'm having a fierce internal debate about if I should or shouldn't skate this one. Looks way too fun to keep stocked to be honest...
Not sure if this is the best thread for this, but looking for a board shape with a really big nose, or even a board with a long enough WB that redrilling the holes wouldn't make it feel crazy short. Open to modification suggestions to make noseslide popovers work a little better on wider curbs...
Probably showing my ignorance here but what’s the appeal of sizing up and skating a larger (larger to me being anything above a 8.5) set up? Just curious because I’m considering trying it out because I’m just starting to feel bored of my consistent set up

For me, the bigger set ups feel more stable and I like having the extra space for my feet when I’m cruising. Trick wise, I like the extra truck space for ledge tricks, though they are harder to pop and flip.
I’m not sure why, but to me it also feels more fun going super fast on big boards.

Yes, definitely feeling way more stable for almost everything (except tech for my lazy legs) but I never worry about weight on any of my boards.
From having my regular setups at 8.38 and 8.5, but also having any number of bigger setups which are fun for a whole lot of things, including but not limited to pump tracks, cruising around when not feeling like skating too hard, recovering from injury, going fast board, slappy curb or similar type of stuff and of course as a lot of people will have a smaller board for tech, then a larger board for transition, bowl, vert, or whatever else they want to skate more so in the parks, bowls, ramps category.
A big board can still do everything a smaller board can too, with more space to land on, if you get used to it.

I’m out of my element when it comes to big boards so I feel like this is the right spot to ask
Planning on ordering the Lasek Powell re-issue and I got a pair of Thunder 161s that were given and I was wondering with the shape of the tail will they stick out? Feel like Ace AF1 66s (or any 8.75 truck for that matter) will fit better. Gonna be using it for primarily cruising and the occasional slappys.

Does anyone have any recommendations for decks to use with 215’s? Ideally, with a 14”-14.25 wheelbase. I’d get a heroin 10” egg, but can’t find one for sale online. I am open to redrilling wheelbases. Im leaning towards an egg or popsicle shape. I searched for the 35th ave 10” popsicle as well, but they are out of stock.

Longer wheelbase decks are more stable for the most part, but then turn slower than decks with shorter wheelbases (regardless of the truck and bushing setup), which is why the older vert ramp setups were so stable for getting up to pretty high speeds on the bigger ramps.
That is not to say that those boards are not fun to ride anywhere, on any size transition or even for other things, like pump tracks with soft wheels, but the shapes with minimal to no nose also mean that the board is very much a "one way ride" when compared to a popsicle - eg skate the tail more so on an old skool shape, vs skate the nose and the tail on a popsicle or double kicked board.
Sometimes it is fun to see what people can actually do on 80s boards anyway, such as that video of Andrew Cannon / the NHS guys skating the Natas blind bag boards when they came out.
Overall 80s style boards are definitely lots of fun as a transition setups, no matter what your skill level or trick bag is, with so many younger skaters jumping on some of the 80s style setups and having a great time at the indoor park where I am.
The Heroin shaped decks are a happy medium between old school pig shapes and modern decks for me. Currently skating the Craig Questions shape and it's got the square tail but the nose is big enough that it's still possible to pop off it.
long wheelbases are shit on steep transition.

Sorry for bumping my own post like a twat but was hoping for some advice. Finally gripped and stickered this thing, got some rails and have some old trucks and wheels to put on for now but wanted to maybe just get a fresh set and have fun with it. Ideally I’d like it to be skateable like a normal board so no soft wheels. But what size trucks and wheels would be ideal? Also benefits of running one rail as opposed to two? Any input would be great! Thanks in advance to everyone who is much more knowledgeable than I am on this.
I skate mine with 6.1 Ventures and 54-56 Spitfire conical fulls. I have never had good results with one rail so I stick two on.

Finally gripped and stickered this thing, got some rails and have some old trucks and wheels to put on for now but wanted to maybe just get a fresh set and have fun with it. Ideally I’d like it to be skateable like a normal board so no soft wheels. But what size trucks and wheels would be ideal? Also benefits of running one rail as opposed to two? Any input would be great! Thanks in advance to everyone who is much more knowledgeable than I am on this.

I do skate it with 149s and 55 OG classics . The back truck sits pretty close to flush and the front is just a little inset. 149s or similar sized trucks will make it feel more like a popsicle. For me it’s the best all around shape. The short wheelbase makes it super agile but being a little wider also makes it feel pretty stable too. It definitely skates like a normal board. It’s my main setup and I normally skate ledges and some transition. For wheels I would go with whatever you normally ride. You’ll be surprised how well you can flip it.

Nope, it was a Stu Graham garbage pale kid deck from probably 9 years ago that I sanded the graphic off way back when. I have a trunk hoard of decks. I think that was my oldest. Still straight as an arrow. Next oldest I have are pre prison CK1 phawts x 2.
Edit: i've been holding onto that sticker for the perfect board. It's an old Paisley Skateboards sticker. Anyone else familiar with that feline?
Hey guys - sorry for jumping into an in depth thread with a pretty basic question.Girl loveseat has a really short wb so take that into consideration. Wide popsicles are really fun, I only have a size 10 so 360 flips/heel flip shit give me a tough time on 9" pops but with your gunboats that shouldn't be a problem.
I've started skating again after a 15+ year layoff. I'm hoping to mostly do flat ground stuff and hit the mini ramp in my local park. I'm about 200lbs and rock a size 15. Back when I last skated, anything over 8" was considered a super-wide vert deck, so I'm a bit lost trying to figure out what deck would work best for me.
I was looking at new decks, and I'm split between getting something like an 8.5/8.6 popsicle or something like a Girl loveseat/couch deck. Which would you recommend for re-learning kick flips and tre flips
, with some miniramp mixed in?
tl;dr: restarting skating, sz 15, light flip tricks and miniramp. 8.6" popsicle or loveseat?

I’m out of my element when it comes to big boards so I feel like this is the right spot to ask
Planning on ordering the Lasek Powell re-issue and I got a pair of Thunder 161s that were given and I was wondering with the shape of the tail will they stick out? Feel like Ace AF1 66s (or any 8.75 truck for that matter) will fit better. Gonna be using it for primarily cruising and the occasional slappys.

Before you make another potential mistake, be advised that only Indys with cast baseplates on 159 and up have the 6 hole pattern that will fit on old school drilled holes
There’s a few that make trucks with the old skool pattern besides Indy: Tracker, Gullwing, a bunch of longboard companies’ tkp offerings.
It's the authentic old hole pattern and yes independent is the only truck brand to make it still. They make all their reissues with the original hole pattern if I'm not mistaken.

all things i definitely should’ve considered before purchasing haha.
so ended up mounting the trucks that could fit through them, drilled the holes and had to do it on the risers too (using the real 3ply) and finally was able to put it together.

(https://i.imgur.com/aVQ5SYt.jpg)damn! Mine is finally coming to an end, I usually switch out my boards quicker but I've been pushing this one to the limit just because I love it so much, you're in for some fun!
Finally I had time to set this beauty up.
-Krooked Chico El Guest Board 9"
- Indy 159
- 99a wheels I'm trying to run down as much as possible
- Wald TORX Bolts.
I'm planning to buy the Ray Barbee Clouds Krooked which is 9.5" and I'm not sure which size trucks match it with. I want to ride Indys and at that width it would indicate a 169 but would it be best to got with 159 or even 149 and use wide wheels? If so, does anyone have any soft (not cruiser) wheel recommendations with a wide riding patch?I just got one recently and am torn whether to use 159s or 149s. It measures at about 8.5" over the back trucks so 169s would probably be too much hot rod. I'll probably go with 159s since that was my original plan. My idea is to make a Neil Blender type set up so I'm trying to keep it close to a Six Track width. The taper from the front trucks to the back is really aggressive and then the tail fishes back out to about 9".

149s and F4 54mm 97a Conical Fulls would probably work just as well as those have a very wide contact patch.
Feel like every week I’m in a board crisis.
Fooling myself that trying a smaller board somehow I’ll have more tricks. Just get frustrated and go back to what feels good.

@nekro I had this setup earlier this year, barbee clouds on Indy 159s with spit conical full 56s. Honestly felt great, I at some point switched the trucks to ace classic 55s and didn’t feel hot rod-y.

I just turned 47 and decided to do 47 tricks before work. Everything besides the nollie tre and bad fs flip were on this 9 popsicle.

I am pretty regimented and have a strict workout routine. Lost over 20lbs since June. Coming up on my 48th. Thankful I can still roll.

It is by far the most usable old school shape I have ever come across. Measurements are great, concave is as well. Unfortunately I do have a lot in the tank for energy/skills atm. But I can still recognize an amazing shape. Someone good could kill it on this shape. The unfortunate thing is that there is little to no chance of finding one (at least for me anyway)Expand QuoteExpand Quote(https://i.imgur.com/YcVaiGH.jpg)

That deck looks hella nice. I will try to find some more info about that. SC everslick?
Love the setup Jaya bonderov vibeHolyshit. An eternity of gnars for that bud.
If they did a black/ grey version of that Santa Cruz, I’d be all over it! How is the pop with the slick bottom?Pop is really good. that wormburner kickflip doesn't show it, but that was just wrong foot placement tbh. When I figured it out the deck popped better than my new 8.3
Anyone skating a 10" Heroin Eyeballer? I grabbed one of the new Ditch Witch boards which is the same shape, just wondering what trucks would fit best. I've got 169s, 159s, and some AF1 55s on the bench. I'm guessing it'll all depend on wheel width in the end, just curious what others are using.

I'm on the Eyeballer.
Have it set up on 169s with 61mm Winkowski OJs and 1/4" risers.
169s fit the front fine and ever so slightly hang over bottom which is 8.5" at it's widest.
If you want ZERO hang over, go 159s.

Yeah it's a looker for sure. We'll see how I like the nose after I ride it a few sessions, but so far it's real nice. Feels real tossable under my feet and I'm really liking the wheels; I don't know how to really describe it but they feel crispy.

As said, if you are a big board enthusiast, most in 9" are 33 with 15 wb or close to it, with not that many on the shorter side.
They can be redrilled but for such a long board to start with, I would be more inclined to seek out shorter boards, if you prefer something less than that.
The Doomsayers 9" was a bit less, when I checked their new stuff, along with the Creature and Santa Cruz stumps boards, which are a lot shorter.
In looking around there are actually quite a lot of 9" popsicles with shorter wheelbases, but I don't know how common they are in any given area.
At least some of the shops that have searches with width options can come up with some good ones.
Longer 14.75 to 15 wb include Antihero, Hockey, Creature, Madness, Black Label, Uma
Mid 14.38 to 14.5 wb include Polar, Heroin, Enjoi, Doom Sayers
Short 14.25 or less wb include Creature, Santa Cruz, and a Heroin 9.25
That is just from a quick search.

That’s a really dope setup. For some reason the more generic/bland setups have a stronger appeal to me than the fancy ones. Also, I just love 169s, both the look of their proportions and skating them. Generally not into the looks of big, narrow wheels but these 58mm Classics look sick. I suppose they are worn down a fair bit?

Good wood, perfect shape. I think the will reprint soon , so keep your eyes peeled
This year has been my first deep dive into setup madness in 30 years of skateboarding. I clearly went overboard, however I do enjoy all of these setups. All Indy 169 (Ti) and Spitfire F4 except for 159s and Autobahn wheels on the cruiser.
The Powell Rat Bones reissue used to be my filmer board. I kept it when I sold my VX a long time ago, it’s a fun cruiser. 10" x 30" and completely flat.
I only skate the Krooked Gonzales Sweatpants in the bowl now, but it used to be my main setup. Really fun shape that translates well from and to popsicles.
The Heroin Symmetrical Egg is absolutely incredible. One session so far and loved it. Couldn’t help myself and got a second set of Titaniums for the occasion.
My first Heroin 9.25" popsicle quickly became my go to setup, got a stack that should last me a year. Set it up with Titaniums and F4 99A Classics, best board ever.

Nice quiver. Any axle bending on the Ti's? My 169's are pretty cooked and I was considering some Ti replacements, but I'm worried about the axles. I bent the axles on my standards, which is odd because I'm basically no impact.

So far, so good. I’ve only been skating my first set of Titaniums since August. I don’t seem to bend axles with my type of skating, even though I skate a lot and am quite heavy. Not jumping down anything higher than a three stair. Never bent any of my regular 169s either, as far as I can tell.
Not going back to regular 169s if I can afford it. The big but lightweight setup has really elevated my skating. I also like that they are a bit lower, feels more connected to the ground. Though that’s probably just in my head. On the OCD side of things, it’s cool that 7/8" hardware properly locks without cranking down too much since the baseplates are thinner.

It's funny how some things just work so much better, eg the lighter trucks and thinner baseplate with 7/8" hardware.
The other curious thing is although I have seen all brands of trucks (including Indy in regular, hollow and titanium) with bent axles, the trucks of multiple brands with titanium axles were the only ones I could not get straight again, no matter how hard I tried.
Most regular and hollow axled trucks, I could sit the hanger on a jig I had made up and hammer them back to straight, but titaniums stayed bent and even cracked the hanger on the underside when it did move a bit on one truck that was heavily ground down.
Just something to note anyway, but on bigger boards, having lighter trucks really does make a significant difference.

This got me curious and I read up a bit on steel vs. titanium. I feel this article has some of the answers:
https://www.thomasnet.com/articles/metals-metal-products/steel-vs-titanium-strength-properties-and-uses/
Apparently the properties of titanium make it much harder to work with, which would explain why you couldn’t straighten the axle once it got bent through repeated/constant force applied when skating.

Any of you guys skate 215s as their main truck? I’ve gone through all sorts of madness over the last few years, sizing all the way up then all the way back down… but finding myself skating pools and looking to eventually start messing with vert again I want to go back to my Scram 10” with 215s again. I just recently learned inverts and think I’m going to keep concentrating on them for a bit so the bigger setup shouldn’t hurt.
Will be keeping a Loveseat with 159s around at all other times for everything else though.

I’ve gone through all sorts of madness over the last few years, sizing all the way up then all the way back down… but finding myself skating pools and looking to eventually start messing with vert again I want to go back to my Scram 10” with 215s again. I just recently learned inverts and think I’m going to keep concentrating on them for a bit so the bigger setup shouldn’t hurt.
Will be keeping a Loveseat with 159s around at all other times for everything else though.
I just pulled the trigger on a Tired Terrible 9" and looking for advice on which width trucks would be ideal. I'm not sure of the measurements across the trucks holes. Can anyone help?

Initially set this up with 53mm spitfire lock ins with 159 Indys, and hated it. Reset to bigger wheels. Feels so good. My 49 year old self is getting flashbacks to 14 year old me.

I got this because Rodger Bagley said it was one of the best boards he has ever ridden. So I put it together as a slappie setup. Ive been skating 8.25 for over 20 years back when that was a big board so I wasn't taking this too serious but I got a chance to skate a little transition with it today it might become my everyday setup. I'm impressed

The bird cage graphic have been on walls for a minute. Send it in a few different shops. I was surprised those have hung around for so long. Guess it’s because that graphics isn’t as insane as his other ones.

The stock bushings were a little too soft, so I replace the stock top bushing with a bones hard bottom bushing. Let's me have the nut tightened just to the top of the kingpin and still have the medium/loose turning.
With Indys I always had to ride them a bit looser than I wanted to get the turn I wanted. Aces definitely turn sharper and I can have them a bit tighter while still turning sharp. Good carve and pinch, way less wheel bite. Definitely sticking with this setup for a while.

One of my shop kids has been riding 58’s and his board looks cool with the wider cuts and he rips on them, I literally had no problem adjusting. I expected to struggle, but this shape has a longer tail so maybe that helps.Is this shop kid named Simon? :)
Of course ¨̮Ha I love it. Kid embodies skateboarding better than anyone in a long time. I buy at least 3 of his decks a year.

Really liking this shape, already skated the Craig Questions 9.5 version of this but the 9 seems perfect for me. Can't wait until the weather gets better so I can really take it for a spin, or at least the indoor parks open up again. Zane was my favorite pro so I'm definitely beating this one up until it's dust.

Were they skating it like a normal board, or set up like a cruiser or something else?
Just curious, not a worry either way.
I could see that thing being tail block central - just have to tail block everything in sight - with such a wide squared off end.

A couple of others had issues with quality of Powell decks recently, at least one guy did put in a successful warranty claim on it, which also cracked / snapped within the first few skates.
Might be an option for you.
I'm thinking of getting one of these for the park/transition (or the GT 9" Totem).. Reckon Indy 159's would be too narrow? Switch to 169? Switch to Ace?
Looks like you've had no shortage of wheel bite!

Love my ghost Beamer. A fuckin weiiiird board to ride. super light for its size.
Stepping up to a 9" Polar Dane Brady and Ace trucks has made me a better skateboarder at 35 years of age and 100kg. Those wheel wells make ALL the difference for me. I ride 54 wheels and softish trucks and used to have wheelbites all the time. Not anymore

never tried decks with wheel wells.i think i should.
This one popped up on something else and I thought of this thread.

9 x 32 x 14. Pretty sure its BBS, same sticker on front trucks and made in mexico…assume this is probably public knowledge by now. Im pretty sure its very similar to krooked guest deck, but feels more rounded and tail may be a little wider. Feels like a slightly squarer version of a Brown Bomber.
I love the long tail, feels really comfy and stable and very nimble with the 14” WB.
I set it up Indy 149’s with medium bottom bushing and hard top bushings and 54mm 97a F4
^^ sick .. did you end up getting 3 of them ?? @sammyz
I really hope Deluxe + Anti Hero continue to make Grosso decks, or at least some with his 9.25 shape with the squared off nose.
Fun shape but not hot on paying eBay prices.

I was too keen asking in the Setups thread, but then read this one.
Thanks for putting up info and pics - really good to see.
Sorry I forgot (but pretty sure you had said before) but did they work out reasonable in overall cost, or still pretty expensive compared to normal AU RRP on pro boards?
I don't need exact details, but I know others were looking at that board - big board with shorter wheelbase being harder to come by than a long board with long wheelbase for the same width and shape.

first big one/cruiser I've ever set up
Anti Hero Ol' Yeller 9.95, 16" WB!!!! (thank you @shpongle)
Various pieces of tape, the cut out is from Solstice in New Bedford, MA
ACE 55
soft as fuck orange Acid wheels from some board I got at a 2nd hand shop (on a set of nice usa 149s)
Andale bearing that came with thrift shop wheels
Santa Cruz rails
over all, it's pretty fun to play with. I do think I wanna throw some hard wheels on. Not really stoked on the rails, but maybe I need a few sessions to figure out a different balancing act on my board slides.
I intentionally set this up with the softies so I wouldn't leave the ground, but soon found that I had to keep that front foot near the bolts for ollies and heel flips. I have a hard time skating without popping...
all told, after 90 minutes on this today and then switching back to my 8.5 with 159s and 56mm, it felt like I was riding a childs board!

What shapes do you all like for big concrete transition? Best I can really do is some 5050s and standup grinds, some frontside ollies, etc and I was thinking my big krooked gonz sweatpants (90s shape like the dane) with 169s would help but it appears to not be giving me any better lock-in. Are the huffer or phawt shapes fun for transition, or would the square-er tail of the 90s shapes be better?

I would be inclined to say any board with a longer wheelbase is usually better on big transition of any surface, be it bowl, ramp or whatever, as you are usually going at faster speeds so having a wider and lower stance makes skating it a bit easier for most normal people, even if it is only slightly longer (like the huffer / phawt) at 14.75 but others often go for the 15" as a solid ride too, most common on some of the bigger boards from "all rounder" type companies (Antihero, Black Label), with not so many options the companies that focus more on street / curb skating in that range. That is not to say that there aren't good boards (with longer wheelbases) from those companies too, but there might not be quite so many.
As to tail shape, it is down to what you feel more comfortable on, as some people will prefer a popsicle or rounded tail and others will prefer as much board under their feet as they can get, both options working very well for those who are more used to it, along with the other way round being quite weird or uncomfortable if you are not used to it. Getting used to some of the tails on Santa Cruz reissues, or even on a Black Label Auby 80s shaped deck was a struggle for me, but a more mellow square tail on other boards from Black Label or Antihero were easy to get used to.
The only thing I would add (not deck related) is bigger wheels, 58 to 60 mm being way easier on big stuff too, which help with the lock in factor. That is not to say that smaller wheels are no good, but for me, something around a 56 mm is good for everything too.

I pretty much only skate transition, everything from mini ramps and bowls up to vert ramps. My main board is a 9” popsicle with 15” wheelbase and 58mm wheels. I have size 12 feet so 9” is the perfect width. I can skate any transition well on this setup.
I want to like shaped decks, but I feel like they always make some things easier and other things harder. For example, square tails make frontside grinds easier but backside 5-0s harder for me.
I have two huffers because Cardiel is the best, not because I like the shape. One is a cruiser and the other has some big 95a wheels that I use for indoor or slippery parks. It’s fine for smaller transition, but the taper in the front makes it a little narrow for big transition. My toes end up hanging over because of the taper and that’s sketchy on big stuff. I have this problem on pretty much every shaped deck. You might not have that problem if your foot isn’t huge like mine. The 14.75” wheelbase is good enough for big transition, but I wouldn’t go any shorter. 15” wheelbase is my preference once the transition gets to be 9’ and up.

Closer to the Grosso although it’s even closer to a polar 92, really similar just a hair less wide / less curve. I really liked it / preferred it to the 92 I had.
The dressen is closer to the Dane but slightly less wide slightly longer nose. The Dane 1 is an awesome fun shape and really nimble for its size

Looked into this company and they have some sick shapes in general. Definitely happy to know about them, because that's a cool shape
I'm liking the shape also, reminds me of the boards around in 90/91. The squared off tail appeals to me.
Where did you get it from and is there another from this company with the same shape and different graphic? I've searched for this Blender tribute model but can't find one for sale anywhere.

Same. Got a shaped 9" and 169s during the peak of shortage stuff, not realizing how much it tapers at the rear leaving me to monster truck a bit. Not actually too bad on this particular shape. But all the shapes I think of replacing it with work better with 159.
Granted, at the rate I ride it, I probably won't need a new one for a few years, so...

What's the previous deck?
My boredom at work caused me to cave and order a Chocolate couch deck. A little disappointed in myself cause I’ve never been a Girl/Chocolate fan but the size/wheelbase/shape combination was calling me as something I needed to check off the list of shapes I’ve tried. How bad is the Craig wood? I haven’t heard great things in general but I seem to usually have good luck with gear issues so I’m optimistic.

They've improved greatly over the past couple years and are really solid. My only complaint is that they pressure crack really easily, but I personally found that this doesn't affect anything (ymmv of course).

The current version has the Gnarmaste graphic but it's coming in at least two other graphics that I know of so it looks like it's staying in their regular releases.Expand QuoteExpand Quotesize 12.5-13Expand QuoteExpand QuoteFor people skating 8.75"+ popsicles, what is your sneaker size? I'm currently on 8.5" and it still feels like my size 12's are hanging off the board a ton. I just have so much 8.5" gear it's going to be tough to switch to 8.75 or 9".[close]
I’m also a size 12. I rode 8.5 for nearly 20 years then got a 9” AH orange eagle about 3 years ago. Since then I’ve ridden a few 8.75” decks, but I can’t do anything smaller than that now. Going up in size is easy, coming back down is tough. Once you ride a board where your toes don’t hang over, going back just feels wrong[close]
stuck on 8.5 for the time being...missing the extra width
if more brands made short wheelbase 8.75s thats all id ride
square 8.75 is basically nonexistent for some reason
might have to start redrilling and shaping my own boards
9.0+ mandatory for transitions[close]
Alien workshop makes a full/square(ish) 8.75 with a 14.25 WB that I'm a huge fan of.[close][close]
31.75 length>32.25 of the AWS
dont need all that board for street skating imo
Curious if any of you have tried flattening the kicks with your car? There is a couple of Enjoi boards that are around the size and wb that I like best and is hard to find. The kicks are too steep for me tho!! I think theres a 8.75 with 14.25 WB. Also a 9 with same WB
Currently riding a Shawn Hale Birdhouse thats 8.7 x 32 and (dont hate me) 14.375 wb. I really like shape but the only place that has them now is baker boys for $70. I love the shape but I've cracked on so far and the one I currently am riding is sounding like its slowly breaking ha!
Thank dudes!

Very nice setup! Putting together something very similar myself.
Are your new 215s super loose/rattle-y where the hanger meets the pivot cup? I just picked up a set and you can physically shake the hanger back and forth in the pivot cup a decent amount and the pivot cup falls right out of the baseplate if you take the hanger out. Was a little bummed on that but it might just be the mold they’re using now…

Finally crossed that last .25" threshold and set up a 9" pop to enter into OFFICIAL big boy territory. First sesh was a good time.69 bruh. Nice to see 169s on one of those Enjoi 9" pops. I figured it would be barely noticeable hot rodding but still cool to see one set up. Shoutout Jake the Snake

That 9" Enjoi looks nice. I enjoyed my 8.75 Enjoi, and I was just thinking about setting it back up last night. Also found myself clicking around their site last night doing some window shopping (9.12 football looking real nice.) They were never, ever my thing but I guess I like Enjoi now?

Skating 169s on a couch shape right now. They’re a little noticeable sticking out in the back depending on what angle you’re looking down at but it’s not too bad.
Such a surprisingly good shape. Had to rein myself in from preemptively buying another one of the same deck.

Took mine out for a quick flat/ curb session and I am now in the same boat... want another to stockpile... so fun. The 151s work so well with the short wheelbase. Made the transition from a 14.75 WB with Aces feel pretty seamless.

They have their own wood shop for sure…pretty sure it’s the same company Santa Cruz used back in the 90’s ( furniture company in WI.). Super sturdy wood/ mid concave. I had a wide mouth shape 8.5 a few years ago and it was great.

I know it’s probably sacrilegious to say this here but I didn’t get on too well with the 215s so I threw on a pair of 159s with some 60mm OJs and this is now one of the nicest cruisers I’ve ever skated!

Got the deck for cheap off a guy who gripped it with clear and rode it once. Even with a heatgun the clear grip was a pita to remove, couldn’t get any large pieces to peel off so it came off in a bunch of tiny chunks and looked like peeling dead feet skin. Nasty. Left a circle of it.

Can’t decide between Ace 55/66/77 or Indy 215. The board is about 9.5/8.8 over the trucks. Leaning towards 215 cuz they’re novel but I want the quickest steering I can get on the SS Sweatpants &#128741;

Beautiful setup.
I also think the Dane 1 is the most fun shape and especially fun to spice up my usual grinds, slides, sometimes manuals street skating by adapting to the shape. I’m waiting for Polar to put out another graphic of it in a new drop so I can stock up. I had the same one you have but the graphics a little too busy for me to commit to buying multiple decks.

Lovely setup!
Do you have risers on your setup since you are having 56mm wheels?
I´m on my first Dane 1 and totally in love with it. I´m with Ace 66 classics instead, but got quite heave wheelbite issues with 54mm Spitfire tablets. So I made wheelwells by hand (front only), got better but would hit wheelbite if going up to 56mm that I would like try.

Hey thanks so much!!
Yeah, I rock a 1/8th riser - should've mentioned that. I still get a little wheelbite every once in a while but not too bad. I'd say I ride my trucks on the looser side of medium, but not anything crazy. I think with 1/8th + wheelwells you'd have no issues at all!

So good, but I wouldn't go for 215s on anything besides a 10+ pig. Others ride it with 169s or around 9" trucks (Ace 55 or AF1 66) and it works really well.
The 215s are just too big overall for me on almost everything, but in saying that some people love them on anything.
Crazy how people set up boards and then get rid of them so quickly too and I would have been straight into getting rid of the clear grip too.

Agree re 215s. I had 215s on my Krooked Gonz initially and they were just way too wide - heaps of wheel bite and hot-rodding all over the place. Settled on 159s which are perfect at the rear and probably a bit narrow at the front, so I think i'd be comfortable running 169s or 159s on this deck.
I had to cut deep wheel wells on the Warpig cuz I refused to accept I needed risers on loose Ace’s/56mm wheels and kept wheelbiting on the rail on my heel side so I cut it down. Also need to move the rails inward cuz the deck almost scrapes on slides so this thing is getting some more speed holes soon.
Whatever board OCD is, I have the opposite.
Yeah the nuts were ground down at a steep angle and the washer had mushroomed around so they had to go when I replaced the blown out bushings. Had to push down on the hanger and use vice grips on the nut cuz there wasn't enough for a skate tool to grab on to.Expand QuoteI had to cut deep wheel wells on the Warpig cuz I refused to accept I needed risers on loose Ace’s/56mm wheels and kept wheelbiting on the rail on my heel side so I cut it down.

my friend once broke one when a screw stripped and he tried to pull it off, then still kepy using it, i thought that was what happened.
i had a 14" wheelbase deck with rails last summer and you could see the shape of the wheels edged into the rails there. tey need to make shorter rails for short wheelbase decks.
did you switch the kingpin nuts on the old indys? mine are in a similiar state but the nuts are worn down to where i can even adjust the back truck anymore.

If you want less threads showing, run bottom bushings top/bottom. The bottom bushings are the same height as the new tops on the 215s.

Would running low bushings work?
Or am I reading this wrong and you need higher bushings?
I just saw another email from Old Skull with products from The Heated Wheel by Neil Blender), including some decks, a couple in 9+ sizes and from the pics they are on BBS wood, the second one looking pretty good with a 9 x 32 and 15 wb, almost a longer wheelbase version of the Couch / Huffer similar type board.
This first one I would be drilling down as a 15.75 wb is a bit long for comfort.

Got to see these in person the other day and can confirm that the shapes are on BBS wood. The popsicles look like a mix, with at least one of them on Clutch.
Anyone skate the Gonz sweatpants 9.81 shape as a street setup? How did it compare to other shaped boards? The dimensions look good to me.
I’ve been bouncing around between a few shapes recently trying to decide which one I like best as a daily board to skate. The Dane 1 and Chocolate couch have been my favorites so far. Not a huge fan of egg shapes or bigger popsicles or anything with an enormous wheelbase. Wanted to give the Gonz board a shot too. I guess my ultimate goal is to try to settle in on a favorite shape and stick to it for a while. I’ve been consistent with skating Indy Ti 169s (best truck IMO) though so I’m looking at decks that decently accommodate those.
Current board:
Nonconform 10' * 31.5 ( 14.25 WB )
Ace classic 66s
Old September Wheels 55mm
Real Rail
Nonconform x Souljah Grip

Just bought 2 Madness 10” blunt shapes. One for a cruiser with 159’s and 60mm Oj Juices and the other for main board with 169’s hollows and Oj 56mm hardlines. Will post photos once I’ve built em up
Is that the one with the 15.3 wb?
Anybody happen to know to how much https://frogskateboards.com/products/jesse-alba-pro-model-deck (https://frogskateboards.com/products/jesse-alba-pro-model-deck) tapers? It's 10 at its widest but it reaaaally tapers much at the back truck. I was wondering if it would be less then 8.5? I have 159's and not enough money to buy new trucks unfortunately. If it is 8.5/bigger than that, I don't have to worry about much, if any, hotrodding, better safe than sorry. :D

you’ll be fine with 159’s bud. I’ve ran 159’s on an 8.75 football with out a noticeable hotrod.

@DefyGravityGuy for what it’s worth, this polar football tapered to 8.2 over the trucks and here it is with my 55 classics on it. No noticeable hotrodding at all. Guarantee you’ll be okay with whatever that frog tapers too.

Maybe it is just cause I had that 80s fish shape a lot growing up and still have a few newer 80s fish shape on modern concaves as cruisers, but as they all taper in significantly at the back, there is always a fair bit of wheel showing over the back axle, which is normal for that type of setup.
The front wheels sit under a touch with almost any size trucks compared to how much the back would stick out, but the most comfortable was 169s on with big square wheels, for period correct looks, but they can be skated with any options (eg 159s) and still work fine. Some I even have set up with 139s on Mini Cubics and the wheels still sit nicely.
That board looks like it goes in to about 8" over the back trucks, just going by eye with a copy and paste of the front bolts over the back bolts, as per pic below.

Sorry I can't help you with weight but maybe @yourbreakfsat knows? Tactics is usually right when they list weight I think because it's a shipping calculation thing.
OK so based on the 19ish gram difference between the standard 151 and 161s, I would guess you could safely add between 15-20g to the Hollow Light weight on the 151s. Still likely the lightest 9.125" truck out. Also the height on the Hollow Light 161s is 52mm.Expand QuoteStandard are listed as 53mm according to ThunderExpand QuoteAre Thunder 161's 52.3mm high?

Been skating on and off since the late 90’s and this is my first Chocolate/Girl board. Wanted to give this shape a shot. It would probably work better with 159s but I want to keep rocking with this set of 169s on all of my main setups until they’re axeled.

No, disasters still work the same as before.
But feeble grinds and smith grinds are a lot easier since you lock in a lot easier.
I think it's mainly a habit though. Can't go back to a board without rails and two rails make the board just too slick.
When it comes to the board I have to say that it is my favourite board of all time. The graphic is simple, yet it comes in different stains. The shape is simply perfect for my skating and the wood is very high quality

My wife just gave birth to our daughter on January 2nd (who I love so so much) so I have been doing no skating lately. Just getting used to being a parent. For a little bit I thought I was probably not going to skate again for a very long time. It was really nice this past Saturday and when my new born was sleeping my wife watched a show and I got a quick 20 minutes out back. I'm someone who needs to skate 3-4 times a week to feel normal, but that hasn't been an option lately. It's been rough out back so I had to sweep just to not hit too many rocks and sticks and stuff. I didn't want to spend my entire window sweeping the entire thing so I spent 10 minutes sweeping half of it. I filmed these really quick which was confusing for the angle then I had way more fun when the phone was away. Here's just a couple quick tricks while I get used to the new set up.

Congrats man, I just had my first daughter 8 months ago on top of adopting my wife's 2 year old. Not gonna lie, the lack of sleep is rough, and stays rough. People are telling me it starts getting much easier when they're around 4 and potty trained/sleep all night.
As for skating, I got back into it specifically because it's much less time consuming than mountain biking (was my primary hobby). You can hop on your board in the driveway at any time. Bring your board to work and skate at lunch.
I have that same deck as my cruiser on Venture 5.8's. Good luck with dad life.

Scram dropping new boards soonYou made my day! I’m almost out of the Cinex shape(JL pools). Bought about 14 of them once I found out they stopped that shape and I’m down to 3. Just a heads up it’s listed as an 8.8 but in actuality it’s a 9. Try it, not a crazy shape and fully functional for tech shit if that’s your thing.

Pretty wild axle slippage on both of my 159s. Anybody ever run 149s on a Dane 1 or similar? Seen it in the wild and and I'm gonna do it either way, but I'm curious to know if anyone here as does it before.

Damn! 159s have been my favorite larger truck (I also like 139s, the rest of indy…no). My USA made stage 11s didn’t slip, despite me setting them up on 8.25s and missing every 3flip I tried.
None of the above is even remotely relevant.
On shaped boards, I like to match the truck size to the deck width, in the rear of the board. I can’t remember what the Dane1 is back there (8.75 probably). 149s (5.8s) with extra washers would probably be my preference. Front will be real tucked, but extra leverage for the turning.

It's funny that axle slippage is coming up on 159s. I bought a couple of pairs of 159 Hollows during some crazy skatewarehouse sale and I got two trucks where the axle is clearly longer on one side than the other. This was peak Covid era and China made so who knows if they were able to keep up the same quality standards during that time. They ride fine but I'm always on the look out for more severe slippage.

On shaped boards, I like to match the truck size to the deck width, in the rear of the board. I can’t remember what the Dane1 is back there (8.75 probably). 149s (5.8s) with extra washers would probably be my preference. Front will be real tucked, but extra leverage for the turning.
What was the average truck size in the 80s? I was young and didn’t know. I’m talking like bones brigade era boom.[close]
It's funny that axle slippage is coming up on 159s. I bought a couple of pairs of 159 Hollows during some crazy skatewarehouse sale and I got two trucks where the axle is clearly longer on one side than the other. This was peak Covid era and China made so who knows if they were able to keep up the same quality standards during that time. They ride fine but I'm always on the look out for more severe slippage.[close]
Thanks!
First real setup had tracker ultralights, my parents bought me a used complete that was basically mint, had everything. Hawk. Copers, lapper, tail rails even.
Later one of the neighbors informed me that the ultralights were wack and that I should trade them to him for his Indy’s. My mom was bummed. I rode the same Indy’s for a few years until I quit. Wish I still had them. The kingpins were…barbaric.
Anyways, it’s interesting seeing some guys from that era, I THINK (could very well be wrong), that cab, Tony, Lance, Hosoi, all ride 149s.
For whatever that is worth.
Expand QuoteExpand QuotePretty wild axle slippage on both of my 159s. Anybody ever run 149s on a Dane 1 or similar? Seen it in the wild and and I'm gonna do it either way, but I'm curious to know if anyone here as does it before.[close]

Ive been wanting a dane1 but don't have any trucks bigger than 149 didn't think they would work
I have 149's sitting in front of me
have some f4 Radials and plenty of washers maybe this could work
@Nth syd bear @ok not too bad right?

149s with three washers behind each wheel, I am sure them being 58s helps. I don't think I'll get to skate it today but I'll try it tomorrow.
@jakeumms I'm glad I'm at least not alone. I initially though the issue was with the nylock on one of the nuts but it happened to both and has gotten worse. You're probably right about it being COVID-related QC issues. First time this has happened to me since the 90s.

This is hot!
I’m a magic carpeter, especially by the standards of today, but even with that bias, I gotta say that those proportions (deck to truck ratio) look really ideal. I like how 159s turn, but I have to think you’ll be able to get more turn out of this setup, and definitely more flip. Looks dope.
I have espoused some protectionist/or buy local, depends on your perspective I suppose, views re: USA made goods. I prefer to buy stuff closer, mainly a jobs thing. Anyways, some of the rhetoric around the China Indy’s has been pretty uncomfortable, and inaccurate. The bushings seem to be as good as they ever have been. And indy has long had possibly the best qc out of all the truck companies. Best durability. Sucks to hear that they’ve had a rough patch.
Looks magical
This is good and I see something similar in my future
Even if I didn't like it with normal wheels I reckon that would be perfect with super juice 55mm
In the meantime I'm going to put these 149s on a love seat ive been sitting on .. ..

I hadn't seen any in person, but since you have had the Huffer, how does this one compare?
Looks like a bit more all over, as in a touch bigger, longer, etc but still fits the same trucks, so would be a good one for people if they wanted a slightly bigger Huffer board.

Easily on par with the huffer as being my favorite shape of all time. Little bit longer wheel base, and a little bit longer and wider overall, 9.3” with a 15” wb and 33” long is really fucking comfortable. I can’t wait for a good transition session on this set up. I’m going to start hoarding these because I really don’t want to run out or they stop selling these.

Ive ordered the the 60mm super juices for my cruiser. What truck size u guys recommend to psir em with for a deck that 8.5/8.75 at the back?
If I’m down realllly bad, I’ll skate a 9” popsicle. But as it stands I horde and stockpile shit to hopefully never run into that position again. As it stands now, I have one 9” popsicle in the stash, and the odds of me actually skating it are slim to none because I consistently am buying decks. By choice, I will never skate a popsicle if a shaped board is available.

You could get away with anything from an 8" to an 8.5", those wheels are very wide. Im skating a shin surf with those wheels and 139s and they're flush in the back, almost over (board is just about 8.5" over) Something like a 149 might be better if it's closer to 8.75".

Went to the park with my orange eagle with the intention of just taking it easy. Someone asked me to play skate, I said yes, and I was able to flip it around way more than i thought I could. Almost landed a couple flip tricks I haven't landed in over 15 years. 15" wheelbase, Aces, and 57mm wheels... just so far outside my normal range of measurements but it worked. It was also exhausting.

That shape is so nice, i havent rode mine yet but I'm on the white eagle right now and I'm never stepping on a deck smaller than that again.
Recently found this Swedish brand that does a board with 9x33 so in hyped to support some local ish stuff. 90€ for a anti hero or any dlx is steeep. 75 feels like the norm atleast.
Who else makes boards with this shape/dims? Hockey, krooked and maybe real? Its fun to switch up the graphic sometimes.

Not sure if you get Black Label over there, but they also came out in a 9 x 33 and same wood / shape as Antihero too.
There are a few others from EU brands but I haven't seen any in person so don't know wood, measurements or concave.
Where in EU are you guys paying 90€ for Antihero decks? 69€ seems to be the standard price in Finland and there are sales around the year if 69€ is too steep for you so you can get the stuff cheaper and stock up too.yeah as far as i know Anti Hero or any DLX for that matter is still cheap, my local got their pops for only 60 euro.
@MysticalTypeExperience @Argyle @jsettle I know this is almost a month later but thanks for the congrats fellow dads. Still trying hard to find time to skate especially since my job is based on Central European Time when I live in New Jersey so I just don't sleep really at all but I'm always home with her and if she naps I'm able to get out back and skate a little if my wife doesn't need me to do anything and I'm not working. Just getting in that routine and figuring it out, but it's been fun. I know this has nothing to do with any set ups or anything, but I just wanted to say thanks.

i've finally given in an bought a Dead Dave. i tried getting the original Mutant, and then tried to get the first pro deck, but both never got to stores here cause of Covid issues.
then after that i kinda strayed away from getting the shape and buying tons of other shapes, now its readily available everywhere since the Video City drop. knowing i'll love the Dead Dave, i started getting commitment issues. the Dead Dave will most likely be a shape to stick by, and even be the shape to ride both street and transition on, making me able to go back to having one setup. probably making my skating a lot more consistent.
but now i still got a stack of both street and transition decks to last me another year..

yeah those are 169's. its very magic carpet. but i found out i like that. i've been riding the 169's on boards that were 9.5/10" over the front truck so they were allways atleast a little magic carpet. that last deck i didn't like was very tapered, even at the front trucks. so the trucks were flush and it started messing with my head. i felt like i shoulnt be seeing that much wheel every time i looked down. and this might be mental but i felt i missed some leverage for slappys or even steeper turning.
i used to skate 215 untill last summer/fall when i went back to 169's they just feel a lot quicker to me. and i was terrible at locking in on metal coping on the 215's. slipping all over them. definitly not going back to those ether.
i'd say if you got some 169's laying around its worth a shot.

If you’re using words like “flip my board” I’d go with the 159s on the Dane 1. I’ve skated a few with 169s and it’s great for ledges and curbs (which is perfect for me) but for flip tricks that rotate and even shuvits you kind of lose the scoop with the back trucks/wheels sticking out a little past the edges of the deck.

The rails are trapezoid shaped with the edges rounded down.

Wait, are you referring to the edges of the deck or the plastic slidey bits?
I’ve got the same deck, even the same color way. The shape seems to be a nod to his early Madrid deck Lucero did the art for plus some bits and pieces from his other early models. Actually, after some sleuthing, it looks like a Santa Cruz-era Lucero Cross with a Grosso/Blender flat nose. I kinda wish it was the original shape, but whatevs.
I’m leaning toward a period setup, so pretty much samsies but 60mm wheels. Might go re-ish or NOS, but 58-60mm conical or radial full would work pretty damn well.
From where the sun now stands, mine will not hang, now or ever.
You ever see an old shape that you'd think would be cool to skate but it's not made anymore so you do it yourself? That's exactly what I did.
Black Label John Lucero Emergency Cross, reshaped. I cut down the nose making the length from 33" to about 31", and added a taper. I also redrilled the already double drilled wheelbase to 15", so here's to hoping the deck doesn't break when I step on it :v I did my best to match the original 80s/90s Santa Cruz shape, but there weren't many clear images of it.

Before/after:
Santa Cruz shape vs my work
The obvious difference is the taper, but I wasn't sure if the taper was steep due to the photo angle so I played it safe. Overall, not bad for having little to work with.
^It was a Rocco SMA Division board before it was a Santa Cruz release. Lucero was an early Rocco investor and got a run of the Red Cross boards that was meant to be the first drop from Lucero Skates, similar to what we would see later with Blind and 101 with Gonz and Natas. The catch was they were some of Prime's first decks and they hadn't quite figured out how to make them yet so all the early SMA decks broke super easily. A startup Skate Shop in my town carried all of Rocco's product from that time period and board breakage was definitely an issue. My Red Cross broke right under the front trucks from riding off a curb. I focused it at the shitty skate pen (paved square near the baseball field, no ramps allowed) my town forced us into and got a pic in the town paper. That pic got me kooked pretty hard at the time but I would kill for a copy today.
My memory is obviously fuzzy but your approximation of the OG shape looks pretty good, particularly in the tail. The pics you posted of the SC version definitely make it look like more of a severe taper than it ever was around the back trucks. Also thanks for confirming that the modern Red Cross was an embiggening of the original. I was losing my mind trying to find dimensions one night but was sure that what the Label had out wasn't the same as what I rode 30 whatever years ago.
All this Label action and late 80’s/early 90’s talk is killing me in the best way. I remember Santa Monica Airlines Rocco Division, SMA World Industries, Lucero Ltd all happening so fast it was hard to keep straight.
I think the Lucero 12XU looks like the most 88-89 shape. The street thing/van man/max evans shape is a solid early 90’s shape. The racing stripe/thumbhead/cross is a boat, more like a pig with a nose on a modern mold, but super fun.
I might post my setups, but I’m deeply private and vastly insecure. Plus, I’m too stupid to figure out how.

Been lurking through this thread trying to get more info on the Polar Dane 1 and 1992 shapes. I'm getting back into skating after a few years and I got a P9 with 149 thunder trucks and 56mm 92a Ricta Clouds. I'm not loving the shape so far, so I wanted to try 9"+ board and I'm really interested in the Dane or 92. I'm not sure which trucks I would get, I'm debating between 151 thunder or Ace 55, and I want to keep my same wheels.
I'm curious if there's anyone here who has experience riding both the Dane 1 and 92?

For a lot of people it is more about wheelbase than the width, between comparable boards, so if you are shorter or prefer a shorter wheelbase the Dane 1 will be a fairly good board to go with, as it is very short, stubby and easy to skate for street stuff or normal park, whereas anything with a longer wheelbase will be more stable, especially if skating bigger things or going faster, or if you are taller and have your feet further apart.
I meant to add the 1992 shape is a bit more normal with a lot less taper to the back end and slightly longer 14.25 wb, still short to medium wheelbase, but it might be a bit more stable and a good go to board. Not sure how many of them are still out there though.
Either of those trucks will work on it too, but the Ace trucks bring in the wheelbase, whereas Thunder extend the wheelbase a bit more.
Ace = short quick turns.
Thunder = might be more stable on the Dane 1 for some people.

Picked up a Dane 1 with wheel wells, I'm so excited to set this up! Just waiting on grip and trucks.
Does anyone have any experience riding a board this size with thunder 149 (or similarly sized) trucks? That's what I have and I think my grip is gna get here before my trucks do.

Anyone rode the winkowski shape?
I just started riding the orange eagle shape and should probably stay with that forever but Id love one as a cruiser. Nothing better than looking down on a shaped deck.
I had the Evisen shor west deck which, as far as I can tell, is a copy of the fish tail winkowski shape. Very good shape, surprisingly easy to skate and I actually have it one some juices right now for cruising.Expand QuoteLooks like Berle painted and FA’d a Winkowski deck.

Skated mine with 149 Indys with a couple extra washers after I slipped an axle on my 159s. Honestly preferred it. As Long as you have some wider wheels you should be good to go.

The place that does our shop decks always changes the shaped deck options as they become available. At the moment no 9 shovel in any graphic. 8.8 is closest.
I suspect with shaped boards waning in popularity we will see even less options. We are definitely selling less. Bummer because I love them.
Eggs do well and a few antihero ones are good, gonz 9.81 and winkowski have fans. Obviously Andy Anderson has legions of them but in general we are selling way less than last year.

I seem to recall they had a few options for shaped boards in previous / pre pandemic drops, from low 8s up to 8.8 but nothing over 9, but most were a bit more generic or too small for anything I was really interested in.
I didn't know if that was the same old one just relisted or a new size option, like Polar with all the Surf / Surf Jr and similar options.
Still hadn't ever seen the old shaped boards in person, even though it had been on sale a lot online, mainly because they all had shorter wheelbases, but this one is supposed to have a longer wheelbase as well, which made me curious, especially in light of all the Chico and similar boards around too.
Did that one you had seem like it had those dimensions, or is that board long gone?

I was looking at a tfunk 8.75, wondering how much flip trickery would still work. I’m sure someone can do it all, on basically any sized board, I do wonder where the point of diminishing returns is in regards to width of setup, and flip tricks. Of course there is much more to skatelife than just flippery.
Anybody that rides 10” pops have a few words on why they like em? Stuff like a 9” popsicle setup just seems like it’s an 8.5”, proportionally, for some bigger folks (what I’m attempting to convey: I’m 5’8”, happily ride an 8.5” setup, makes sense that 6’+ person would enjoy a 9”+ setup as it wouldn’t be ‘that’ big, to them).
Lots of blah blah here from per usual, but I’ve been fairly shocked/weirded out, that an 8.5” setup feels better than the smaller stuff I’ve always ridden. Makes me wonder what the next step up is like.

I agree with what you’re saying and only came to this realization earlier this year. I’m 6 or 6’1 size 12 shoes skated 8.5 and was getting toe drag constantly flip tricks inconsistent. Moved to an 8.8 and I feel stable I feel comfortable setting up and landing and my consistency on flip tricks have improved. I feel I can even Ollie higher. But I was close to impossibles landing some and slipping out or on nose when k was on the 8.5 and now I’m back to not even close on a 8.8. Maybe that’s a wheel base issue though. Idk. But idk if I can go below 8.75 now
For anyone looking we will have 9.5,10,10.25,10.5 popsicles later this week.Glad I held out. I was about to settle as I didn’t think y’all would have any for a while!

That would make sense with the surf/ surf jr. though because the spade is very similar dimensions to the original surf. Like polar too, I don’t think the wheelbase is as long as they make it out to be, but not short like Chico’s board or crail couch/ loveseat, my spade is 14.375 from memory.

gonna experiment with the passport spade shape
9.125/31.7ish/between 14.38-14.5 wb
accustomed to bloards that length, just shorter wheelbases
wonder if i can handle 14.25> if length stays constant
really not that many options here so this should be a quick test[close]
That one looked like it would drill in nicely on the front, which would make the nose more normal and the wheelbase shorter.
I am curious what the wheelbase actually is, given some places had it listed as 14.5 and others as 14.38 or so. Might be similar to the Polar measurements, listed longer but not quite that.
The six hole baseplate mod at .38 would be perfect for your 14.0 to 14.12 preferred wheelbase on paper.[close]
measures @8.9/31.5/14.38wb
might be too short but im not sure if the longer wb counters it
gonna hold off on it for now

I messed up on the griptape because I didn't account for the deck taper when doing the stripe which didn't have enough room for me to make a stripe, and I should've done the gap a bit further back. Might redo it eventually, but it works and I might do some griptape art to make up for it.
Had my best session in a while on this, so I might've found something to stick with :v

The funny thing with the Huffer is the tail is a good sized / normal tail when compared to most egg shaped boards, which more often than not have such tiny short tails.
In looking at that board, I think it would be fun for those who are not worried about tail size, or like the short and sharp tails, so in that regard, the dimensions look pretty good, 9.1 x 32 with 14.5 wb.
The 8.6 popsicle seems like it has a good shape and dimensions for a mid sized board, but obviously not for this thread.
That other big board also looks pretty good, 9.8 x 32 with 14.75 or so double drilled, that someone else posted earlier, if I recall without looking back over the history of this thread.
I guess it might be a bit big for what you wanted though.

i like the shape on that one. but think its one of their worst graphics. i actually think their graphics gotte worse overall lately. didnt know that was possible.

you mind me asking what do they actually cost over there? i've been at underdog distribution and they definitly sold me on Scram as a brand, but cant get them in mainland Europe. actually considering getting one over in japan if they open up again.

I love the quantum bearings, fast and durable.Is that shape about the same as the Dead Dave 9” shovels?

@144p how are the af1 77s with that? I got that deck too, was gonna run some classic 66s but I like a bit more magic carpet…They are pretty flush, I’ve never been mental about truck width so I suppose most people prefer slightly in vs flush or slightly out. Lots of grinding space.

Would the Heroin Curb Crusher XL be a good fit with Ace 55 Classics & 60 mm OJ Super Juices? The Super Juices with the 55 Classics sit at pretty much exactly 9.375" wide.
I fucked up my back a while ago and it's taking somewhat long to heal so I figured I'd focus on getting excited about cruising and set up a new cruiser instead of trying to go fuck up my back even worse jumping around with a normal set up.

55’s would work. 66’s would be better IMO.
With the 60mm Super Juices you’d most def need 1/4” risers. If you don’t want risers, try the 55mm Super Juices — I ride these and can still roll over a ton of stuff with no wheelbite.

Thanks. Wouldn’t you think that the 66s are too wide with the OJs? The wheels would sit about 9.75” wide. The Curb Crusher XL does taper quite a bit.
It’s also got wheel wells and I’ve ran the 55 Classics with 60mm Ricta Clouds on 1/8” risers before and have been fine. The clearance is the same as with 54mm wheels and no risers.
If you have any other suggestions for a deck which is around 9.375” at the axle, I’m all ears. Finding cool stuff in this size doesn’t seem all that easy. Not into Powell or Santa Cruz personally.
Also I have the OJs already and would like to use the 55s for the cruiser.

i measured my curb crusher, seems its about 9.3 at the back. 9.75 at the front. measurements can be slighty off since i had to do it with a broken in half ruler. but hope this gives you an idea.

@PRISON IKE dude that’s a rad set up, don’t take this the wrong way, it looks like a full-size tech deck and that rules.
That’s awesome! Looks tiny and huge at the same time. Total mindfuck. How does it skate?
Everybody is 90% correct about their guessesi found out about the heroin/mandy collab through this thread and was set on getting one for the wall until i actually saw the graphics, what the hell is this
Also, why are you so opposed to a Mandy board? I almost got one to hang on my wall
@off dude how do you like the sweatpants graphic/shape? I’ve been wanting to get one but the wb is so short it scares meshape is really nice, wide at the front and 8.75 at the back

and then there's the one that's just the movie poster, which is fine, but pretty low effort
the one posted in here earlier i'm ambivalent on and i think might only have positive feelings towards it because it says "mandy"
this one actually is sick but the illustrations would make better standalone graphics, like they should have just separated these illustrations out into a series of decks

Just nabbed this 9.6 Heated Wheel board and my puzzle brain is already trying to assemble the perfect set up.
It’s gonna be my ramp board so I’m thinking some 56mm+ spitfires? Also I’ve only ever ridden Independents… 149s, 159s…
Asking those who know… would throwing Ace 66’s on this thing A) be a comfy transition, and B) would they fit well with the taper of this board? Definitely could take some pointers on truck size in general from anyone who’s handled this one before!
Thanks in advance. Extremely fired up about this board, it’s a dream deck for me.

Nice, appreciate it. You recommend AF1, I take it?
You can always use something to measure the dimensions from a pic of the deck. I used this site recently and it worked really well:
https://eleif.net/photo_measure.html
Just upload the pic and put the reference line on the widest part of the deck, enter width of the deck for the reference line and then draw lines to where the axles would be and read the widths on the table.

Honestly, I’ve only skated the AF1s to the degree that I’d be comfortable recommending them. I have some Classics and old Lows, but I haven’t put them into the rotation because I’m worried their future might be short. Trying to commit to stuff I know is going to be around for a while.

I am more curious about the wheelbase, mainly thinking redrilling it down to about 15 would be way more comfortable than at 15.75 which is what was listed.
It almost seems like the wheelbase is drilled into the concave of the nose, but it is also funny that the BBS dot mark was so far below the current holes, which is about where I would think the front truck would sit best.
With all that, I have only seen pics - detailed pics, but still it doesn't compare to the real thing in front of me.

It almost seems like the wheelbase is drilled into the concave of the nose, but it is also funny that the BBS dot mark was so far below the current holes, which is about where I would think the front truck would sit best.
With all that, I have only seen pics - detailed pics, but still it doesn't compare to the real thing in front of me.[close]
Its part of why I wanted to try this board, I’m pretty tall (basically Blender’s size) with big feet so I’m hoping the oversized wheelbase helps this fit a little better. I sometimes feel like I need something more substantial when I’m riding ramps.
personally I like the fuller shape of the nose on the couch/ loveseat, can sit on those slappy nose slides for hours! Squarer kick is also easy for me to stay stable with tail slide tricks… personal preference though!Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteI'm on my 2nd couch in a row atm, I don't see myself skating any other shape for the foreseeable future...I just got my 3rd, waiting on ice...Skating em with 6.1 v-hollow Ventures is the perfect setup!![close]

Just got to try someones quasi egg and the tail was extremely flat, which isn't what I like. Is the loveseat a bit steeper? Are they all the same or is it like DLX where you just don't know which concave you're gonna get?

Could be my usual case of fall-in-love-with-every-board syndrome but honestly the couch might be the best shape out there. Feels perfect on the 159s too.

I thought I was alone in this regard. Every first couple of sessions that I'm on a new width/shape I skate better than ever. I'd think that I've found my holy grail shape and then skate something completely different and fall in love all over again. It's just in boards too as I always ride 149/159s with 54mm F4 conical fulls but I can't seem to settle on one definite deck.

Actually one more loveseat question because I'm mad.
Wanted to buy one right now, but the graphics are just so terrible. This makes me think of buying a couch (the green one looks nice), and if it's too wide at some spot, just sanding it down into more of a loveseat.
So my last question is, are the loveseat and the couch the exact same concave? Can I just turn a couch into a normal loveseat or would I end up with a super low concave loveseat?
Does anyone have any experience with/recommendations for 9"-9.5" decks with a longer wheelbase (14.25"+)? Only thing that's stood out to me is the double drilled Krooked Cresant

I’m on a Black Label Black Widow, which is a 14.75 WB I think.
Width over the trucks is 9 in the back, maybe a hair under 9 in the front, but I get zero magic carpet on my Ace AF1 66s.

I think most have been covered, but the question is what sort of wheelbase are you really after, as in what is your most preferred option?
Popsicle or shaped as well?
Many brands have longer wheelbases in popsicles, as per other comments, Antihero, Black Label, Darkroom and similar have the 9 x 33 with 15 wb, then shaped decks with 15+ wb including Antihero, Black Label, just for starters.
Brands with shorter wheelbases (still over 14.25 - 14.5+) include Polar, Heroin, Dwindle or HLC brands, Santa Cruz, Creature and shaped decks including Welcome, Madness, and DLX brands.
I think I compiled a list at some point, but would have to go back over old posts to check.

I don't need any decks right now, but I think about this specific Label board a lot. I've recently skated at least 5 popsicle Label 8.5s in the last year and a half. Probably my favorite shape/dimensions (have a couple more in the stack), but this Widow keeps calling out to me!
Good to know it works well with Ace AF1. I'm an Indy guy so I was thinking 169 and playing with washers, but I'm tempted by Ace since the WB is so hefty at 14.75. I'm 5'10 and 14.5 is my ideal.

Hey guys,
Although I thought I never would, it looks like I'm going to get myself an old-school set up, Powell Vallely or Cab, something that I had back in the day. I have a few questions for those with experience with these re-issues:
Trucks: I skate Thunders, so it's 161 right? I see people set up old Powell boards with Indy 159's and those are even narrower and they look fine (in photos at least). Shops around here don't carry re-issues so I can't go to the shop and see for myself.
Second and even more important question: can you actually skate those fucking things? I'm not looking for a cruiser, I want to actually skate it. I see what Max Geronzi does with those boards but he could skate a 2x4 and I'm no Max Geronzi. I'm looking for a simpler way to skate, stop worrying about flip and switch tricks, do some basic curb/ledge/tranny skating, maybe find a bit of a new spark to the whole thing.
I don't know anyone with such a board so I can't try one before I buy one. I'd need a whole new set up so it's expensive and I don't want an expensive board to gather dust in the corner. Or maybe I'd be better off buying a new driver or put that money towards a new set of irons that I'd actually use instead.
Sorry for a bit of a rambling post, I'd appreciate any input, thanks!

I feel like the others have covered some really good points, but here is my take on it as well, coming from working in skate shops and being around a lot of product, including standing on almost any and every variation of board, both old school and normal current styles, as well as skating many of them, even if it is just one run in a bowl or something when someone set up a new one and we all got a bit of a go.
First question is what is your current setup, not so much about the brands, but more sizes, types of product you have had that works for you in the past, etc? You said Thunders (which are a really good truck) and will still work on anything, but what else?
The only other thing I am really aware of now are how in my mind a board I had back in the 80s with that concave (or lack of) and whatever was on it, just does not compare whatsoever to the modern setups, specifically concave and feel of some bigger decks of similar dimensions to the old Powell, Vision, Santa Cruz boards, but many companies like Black Label as just one example, do regularly put out big boards that are shaped like the older boards in a modern concave that do not cost half as much as high price reissues and skate so much better than those others too.
You can still fit it out with all the modern brands of whatever product you want and it will work and in turn be way less likely to gather dust in a corner and help you have a good skate on any terrain, as you mentioned.
I don't know your location, or what sort of stock / brands any local shops do have in stock, but often going into those shops to just check out anything in a wider option - stand on whatever you can to get a feel for it if they will let you - which will then help you to make a better decision.
As for big board options in brands that work, there are so many looking back through this thread, but anything from DLX - Antihero, Krooked, or as mentioned Black Label, then others like Heroin, even some Frog, or Scram, some of the Dwindle boards like New Deal, 101, Madness or PS Stix boards like Dogtown, just to cover most of the major woodshops, but that is by no means the end of a list either.
Alright, after lots of deliberation I've narrowed down my 9" popsicle search to two options:
Polar 9" (with wheel wells):
9 x 32.25
14.5 WB
Nose: 7"
Tail: 6.75
Hockey 9" (Same shape as AntiHero):
9 x 33.25
15 WB
Nose: 7.25
Tail: 6.75
I'll be riding them on Ace 55 classics and 55mm F4 classics. For context, I'm currently riding a Dane1, and while I really love it, I find it's a little squirrelly for me and I notice my feet feeling a little too close for comfort. I'm 6'3" with a size 12 foot.
Overall I'm leaning towards the Polar deck but the extra wheelbase and and length of the Hockey deck does intrigue me. My concern is if the Hockey deck feels unreasonably heavier or clunkier compared to the Polar. How does each deck handle different kind of tricks? Does anyone have experience with either deck or with something similar?

The 9" Polar Shin popsicle I have is 14.5" and makes it feel pretty agile for its width. I set it up mostly for bowls
a 15" wb is going to feel like a boat unless you are used to it. I'd only go back to a 15" wb if I wanted a dedicated vert set up.
Coming from the Dane 1 you'll probably like the shorter wb option of the 9" Polar instead.

Yes, I did. It was right in front of me when I read that post. Put my glasses on and everything. 14.5 on the money.
Meanwhile my Shin surf model is 14.38 as advertised.

They must have changed it at some point then. I’m wondering if the same applies to all the others they’ve mislabeled. I haven’t bought any Polar boards in a good while due to the wheelbase measurements being wrong. Could consider getting the 9” popsicle if they actually changed it.
anyone know where I can get a 10in traditional popsicle?

Past 3 setups 🤌🤌🤌Correct.
After riding a 9"x33"x14.75" popsicle some time ago and stopping because it felt too long, I got a couch and I'm still not happy. It's kind of the other side of the big boy spectrum I guess, it almost feels like a normal 8.5 deck and doesn't really add anything for me by being wider around the middle. Now I miss the stability I had on the 9" popsicle.creature stumps 9/32/14.25 wb is probably what you want
So here's to the next one, any recommendations for a middle ground? 9" with 14.25-14.4" wheelbase and a bit less taper maybe? Oh and I like em steep. The couch tail is also a bit too mellow for me, especially with the 3 fingers of flat. Kinda ridiculous. It feels like a mini board.
I think I would like the couch if I had 8.75 thunders or ventures, but I'm definitely not buying more trucks. Currently riding it with AF1 66s, which makes the pop feel stupid light. Might just try it with 8.5 thunders I have.

Expand QuoteIs the madness 9" pop the same shape as the 9 Orange Eagle?[close]
I don't usually look at Dwindle / Madness decks much, but two I just looked up had very different dimensions:
(1) Madness Engraved graphic 9.0 x 33.3 with 15.0 wb, which on paper would be about the same as an orange eagle and still in stock in a few places, so guessing this is the one.
(2) Madness Mujeres 9.0 x 32 with 14.25 wb, which is about as far away as you can get from a long wide board, but most likely old stock as there don't seem to be any available online.
Dwindle has their own shapes and concave, but it couldn't be that far off, besides the significant difference in concave between the two woodshops.

Yes, they are 97A. In my opinion these wheels are good for any kind of terrain. But I like them the most on wooden ramps because they grip perfectly but you can still revert out of tricks

Nah these ones are 99a and a tiny bit narrower than the 97a ones. They’re a really good all round wheel.

Please let me hijack this thread for a quick question related to big boards.
I usually ride a <8" popsicle for street tricks, but coming to a certain age I'd like to have an cruiser that I can also skate occasionally. My first board in the early 90's was a wide board, and therefore I'm looking into something considerably bigger. I recently got the occasion to ride a few minutes on a 9.5 Krooked Ray Barbee (the Friends deck with the fishes) and I absolutely loved it! So I'd like to get one (with rails, of course!) - now question is which trucks. For wheel size, I'd probably go for 55-58 mm, definitely not higher than that.
I've been riding Thunders for the past 17 years or so, and the board I tried had Indys which felt much stiffer than my usual Thunders. Obviously it could be down to rider's preferences... but I have two questions:
1. Do I need to consider switching from Thunders to Indys/Aces for a bigger board? I usually ride my Thunders loose and use a small 1/8 riser to avoid wheelbite.
2. Which size trucks should I buy? I don't think I'll ever go higher than 9.5, but might go a tad smaller. I guess I'd still have to go with the Thunder 161's or the Indy 169's?
I've been skating for 30+ years and I'd love to give it another 30+ years so thankful for any tips you guys can share.
Please let me hijack this thread for a quick question related to big boards.i have that exact krooked board and i have mine set with thunder 149 team hollows with a 1/8 riser and 56mm conical fulls. i’ve also put indy 159s on it but those stuck out a bit in the back and i ended up going back to 149s. If i remember correctly, I believe the shape was designed by ray specifically for 149 trucks but i could be wrong. I’d say for big shaped boards you’d probably want to go for some 151s since those seem to be a good all rounder for larger decks. At the same time, you could always get 149s as well which opens up the doors for 8.3 to like 8.75 shapes :) really can’t go wrong!

At first I was thinking what a copy?!? But it is a Slime Balls x Tactics colab.
The other pictures of that do make it look quite interesting.
I am thinking mainly the big wide tail is the best thing about that shape, but it could feel like a scaled down and squared off Huffer too.
Being picky but I also like how it has a stained top and bottom layer ply, so if you weren't into that graphic, it would still look good stripped to the wood stain.

Anyone skated the Krooked Frame Face 9.81 x 32 yet?There's a lot of talk in this thread about that shape where we refer to it as the Sweatpants shape. Now that I think of it, I dunno if that was ever official or if that name just stuck because it used to always have the sweatpants graphic on it.
Just ordered one but can't seem to find any measurements of the width over the front + back trucks, here's to hoping I have a pair of trucks that fit - guessing 66 Classics should be ok.

To save you a bit of trouble, I would say don't go any bigger than AF1 66/Classic 55/169 etc. It's just under 9" over the back trucks and the widest point is just under the front bolts. I rode it with 169s and it was very nice.

Managed to get a Krooked Phantom from my local. 8.0 across the front trucks, 8.5 across the back trucks, >10.0 at the widest point. Does this count as a big board? Debating whether to set this up for fun or put it on the wall next to the Grimple Nighthammer
Thanks for the added info.
I thought that the Tactics other boards were shorter wheelbase than that Slimeballs colab, but it is probably just me. Not sure what board I am thinking of now that was only 14.125 or so, but anything around the 14.375 wheelbase is a good overall board.
Maybe I was thinking for someone to drill it down to 14.0 and give it more of a nose, which would make sense.
For the simple graphic, or lack of it, that one sure does make it easy and you can even choose the bottom stain, which is nice.

My new set up after 13 years without skating. My 5y/o son and wife chose the board and wheels (but I paid) and I chose the trucks and so on. I haven't bought a grip yet.

Now, I want to skate again and I want to remember those wonderful years so I accepted the board my family chose for me. No nose at all and 10". I've read the whole thread and sometimes it have been answered but I would like to ask for myself.

100% yes, I have the same deck with slightly different parts and it's doable to do the same tricks you've learned on a popsicle. It'll take time getting used to the shape but once you do you'll have it on lock.

Just be aware 13 years is a long time and you’re probably not going to get back what you had. Just realize that, have fun, and you’ll be fine.
Corey Duffel has another Dream Girl shape coming out with his name on it, this time on Welcome. He put a short run out on Adored earlier this year and in the ad copy on his site he talked about borrowing the shape and getting sign off from JK to use it. The Welcome product description doesn't mention which shape it is but it used to hint, as of last night, that it was well known. Weirdly enough, today it just says custom shape designed by Corey lol. Anyway, I love the shape and am psyched for it to be back in circulation even if it is a sketchy ass Welcome drop.

Crailtap has the 2 for 80 deal going with griptape and free shipping. They have the 9.12 phawt shape and the 9.2t couch shape available to pick...thinking of snagging one of each for the deal. Thought id share if anyone is interested in those 2 shapes!Good looking out!
I just set up this lovely beast here, and that shape is no longer available, so I’m already looking for my next.
I’ve been eyeing this for sometime now, and never thought that I’d purchase an Alien 2.0.
But here I am, semi-bonered over this canuck flagged beauty.
Is it the same wood as the 2000s era Alien?
I was a big fan back then…

I think this is another Dream Girl shape. The dims are just ever so slightly off but I barely measure over 9" on the Adored Dream Girl I have. I wonder why this is the third one from as many companies this year when it used to be a JK exclusive? The only common thread is BBS, though that's not confirmed for the Uprise deck. Also I totally get that maybe I am the only one who gives a shit but it's my favorite eggish 1991/2 shape. The graphic on this one is pretty dope too.

I'm sure you have a feel for the trucks now but just a heads up, I bent the shit out of mine doing slappies. I never had an issue with the 5.5s but my 5.75s did not hold up. Hangers still have a ton of life left in them too.

Just set up a heroin craig questions board , do bigger boards feel soggy ? Feels like this board doesn’t have much pop or is it the softer wheels ? Otherwise love da big board and short wheelbase.soft wheels definitly feel more soggy.

Is it the shaped Craig Questions board? I usually like Heroin decks (although I seem to chip them easily - not sure if it’s the razor edge or just coincidence) but for some reason that specific Craig Questions shaped deck just didn’t work for me and felt kind of clunky. I think it was more that shape though - it’s wide without having that taper at the tail coffin-ish shape like a Dane 1 or a Krooked Sweatpants so the wideness of the tail messed with me popping tricks. That’s the only Heroin deck that’s ever felt soggy in my experience. In general I don’t think most big boards feel soggy or clunky.
Grabbed a 9.5 Black Label Jason Adams Curb Shark. Very stoked to get this out once my knee heals up.
Specs:
9.5"x32.75" with a 14.625" wheelbase. The deck is actually about 9" at the trucks so I threw some Indy 169s on.
The dimensions of your deck may make it feel soggy. A longer tail shrinks your pop angle in some cases, so you have to adapt to it, or compensate it with larger wheels or raisers. Most Heroin eggs have longer kicks, like 7", or even 7.25".Expand QuoteJust set up a heroin craig questions board , do bigger boards feel soggy ?

My Heroin 9.75” symmetrical egg felt soggy. It’s the biggest board I’ve skated as a normal board with the heaviest trucks. Not sure if it was the size of the thing or if it was just soggy. I had hard wheels on it. I’ve had 9.25” boards with longer wheelbases and soft wheels not feel soggy at all so who knows. Heroin BBS so I wouldn’t expect them to be soggy but it is a possibility.

So good!
I had a couple of the other Adams boards (Six Gun re-release) but they tapered too much, so just didn't balance out. In looking at that one, I was still hesitant, but it looks much more normal right through.
This is the second one of these on here which triggered my thought to question the width over bolts, which as you said is about 9.
Thanks.

Yeah, it's not a severe taper from bolts to bolts. About a half-inch difference on each end compared to the center of the board. Haven't had a chance to ride it, but I'd imagine is feels more like a 9" board than a 9.5".
My only concern is killing myself or someone else with that nose!

Punk points used to be a little more prone to chipping up if the board ran into something, but overall they still held up well and didn't kill anyone or anything while I had them.
I forget which brand but there was a super pointy board from someone else a while back that was a bit more of a weapon, maybe Assault Skateboards or something similar and that thing was dangerous.
Funny how quickly some people moved out of the way of that thing when it was hauling ass round a busy park.

I was curious about the size of that board, besides the quoted 9.25 width, but the funny thing is all three sites have different measurements.
Guessing it is on the shorter side if it has a shorter wheelbase, 14.1 to 14.25 listed, with one having length at 32+ (maybe measured with concave) and the other having 31.5 which adds up better with the wheelbase and the shorter kicks.

Anyone ridden it with sub 9" trucks?Is that the shape they used to sell as the big cruiser complete? If so yes I've skated it with 149 Indy and thunders. It works but I already prefer trucks a bit smaller than deck

It was the same for me until recently. For some reason I’ve been getting more German shops in my results lately. Is it because I’ve been visiting Germany a bunch or because I’ve been specifically seeking out German skate shops or because I’m taking German lessons at work or because I’ve been listening to some mad German après-ski music, I do not know but it is a welcome change as ordering anything from the US or UK to Finland isn’t really cost effective. Also it’s nice to order from actual skate shops and not from some big ass chains with huge online stores.

I think that’s the fact that they haven’t changed is the reason I have a problem with them, I have so much love for 80s and 90s skating but I think you can continue to keep that era going without supporting people who are as awful as him, they could do everything they’re doing but not use his name, I don’t know if I’ll ever be okay with the fact that they continue to keep his legacy going, which is a shame because like I said, I really love everything else about the company.

I love the look of skull skates decks but I can’t bring myself to support them because there are still so many Duane Peters decks from that company.

I agree with you 100% on DP. But I think the relationship with Skull has ended and anything they may have on the website is old stock. The relaunched Brand X / Toxic is the newest train that he has latched onto. I have seen numerous instances on social media where people have posted concerns about his homophobic and xenophobic rants, as well as the bat shit crazy conspiracy theories like his stories that Tony Hawk is responsible for the death of his son. In response toxic just deletes the comments.
It bums me out that over the last five or six years companies have continued to support him. I love almost everything that pocket pistols does. But I believe they were making Duane Peters boards as well for a while.

If they are just selling off old stock then that’s understandable, just the fact that there’s so much stuff led me to believe they were making new stuff and I found that a bit upsetting.
Thanks to so much overstock and recent sales I made myself a Christmas complete…Damn that’s beautiful.

Hey, I think I want to join the big board club. Things is I’ve found that I’ve grown quite a bit since I was 13-14 years old. In 2000-2001. Back then I rode an 8 and everybody was all up in my face about what business I had riding such a huge boardFirst of I want to welcome you to the big boy club, we ride the big wood here (pun intended)
I have some questions for the experts here.
1. My 8.6 creature has “tub” concave, and I’m not sure I like it. I can’t steer my board very well unless I have my front foot at an angle while I’m pushing. Does the 9” creature decks have the same concave or a radial one?
2. Will I need a “tech” deck i.e. the VX or flight? I’m 275 pounds/125 kg atm. Will regular 7-ply or Epoxied 7s stand being stood on?
3. I’m 6’2”/185cm and 2’/60cm across the shoulders. A rather large old man, and I’m not very stable as I’m top heavy. Should I go for wheelbase, width or both?
4. I’m looking at 9”+ popsicle decks and lightly shaped boards, not really the 80’s ones. Creature Willis Kimbel pro models and Antihero Orange eagle or green giant is what I’ve been contemplating.
Have any other recommendations I should check out? +15” wb with decent kicks. I have Indy 159, but I don’t mind sizing up to 169.
I know it’s a lot, so thanks in advance.

Whatever you do, don't go for the 9Inch Flight Deck. The shape is horrible.
If you are afraid that your weight mitht cause your board to break, go for a widrr board. They usualy dont snap as quick.
Most creature boards have a very aggressive concave and are very stiff, maybe not your best choice.
If you want a big board that lasts a long time and is fun to ride I would really recommend a Black Label board here. Haven't snapped a single one and that means something

I'll ditch the thought of a flight then. Creature/Santa Cruz doesn’t make any VX bigger than 8.8” w/ 14.25” wb ATM.
I’ve never snapped a deck so I must be pretty light footed. But the thought of having an indestructible deck is really appealing. I’ve no doubt my 8.6” will ever snap or crack.
My board has the tub concave with a bit of flat in the middle, does the other boards I mention have the same? I really like the stiffness, as I feels more secure and less soggy. When I stand in my 8” the wheels come further apart.
Concave like this:

I’d very much like a radial over the tub, as I can steer with my toes while I’m pushing.
Looked into black label and there are a few interesting ones, but they’re not readily available in Europe. I.E. can’t find one in Denmark or Germany. Have to order from the Netherlands, but they only have like 6, and only a two of them are bigger.
Edit: pictures look like shit. Sry.

I'm 6ft and 265 and I like the Indy 94A Barrels. They feel pretty medium for me. I tried a lot of bushings though.

It looks like you are kind of facinated by the "indestructable" board thing.
Although I back that, I have to let you know that you wont find a big board that is using any kind of technology for that matter.
When it comes to concave, NHS boards (SC, Creature) seem to have very aggressive concave.
I personally skate Heroin, Label and Blast boards. I am 6.7 and around 90kg and go through a board about every month or two.
I would recommend you to buy a board that you like the shape of and if it snaps so be it. I even cracked
my flight deck, so all the tech wont really save you here.
Maybe try a Polar board. They can be easily found in Europe and habe some good shapes. Depends what width you prefer.
Are you looking for a board in the 9-9.5 range or bigger than that?
Yeah, I don’t really do all the dangerous stuff like gaps and drops. My skating is at a pretty low level. Literally don’t skate anything higher than 5’/150cm
probably the Orange Eagle or Huffer is a safe bet. those will fit well with the truck you already have. huffer is 14.75 wheelbase but thats stable enough.
Antihero are on the more affordable side of big boards spectrum too. and there allways available, cant say that for many other big shapes.
snapping boards also really depends on how/what you skate i guess. i'm in the 100/110kg and never snapped a deck. but i also never flip my board. and definitly no gaps or drops.
just skate curbs/ledges and transition.
personally i am very stoked on flat middle concave in boards. the way Heroin and (Gnosis made) Blast decks are is perfect. not as extreme as NHS concave tho i think but never skate NHS so can't compare.
normal concave gives me cramps in my foot when pushing a lot. but i got wide ass flat feet.
for Black Label, Skatetilldeath in Belgium has a bunch in stock too, but might be the exact same as Sickboards has. normally Titus would have too but havnt seen them there in a while. theyre allways dificult to find in europe sadly.
The only industrial strength thing you'll likely need are some hard bushings. 90A are super soft in your weight class. I'm 6ft and 265 and I like the Indy 94A Barrels. They feel pretty medium for me. I tried a lot of bushings though.Expand QuoteHey, I think I want to join the big board club. Things is I’ve found that I’ve grown quite a bit since I was 13-14 years old. In 2000-2001. Back then I rode an 8 and everybody was all up in my face about what business I had riding such a huge board
I have some questions for the experts here.
1. My 8.6 creature has “tub” concave, and I’m not sure I like it. I can’t steer my board very well unless I have my front foot at an angle while I’m pushing. Does the 9” creature decks have the same concave or a radial one?
2. Will I need a “tech” deck i.e. the VX or flight? I’m 275 pounds/125 kg atm. Will regular 7-ply or Epoxied 7s stand being stood on?
3. I’m 6’2”/185cm and 2’/60cm across the shoulders. A rather large old man, and I’m not very stable as I’m top heavy. Should I go for wheelbase, width or both?
4. I’m looking at 9”+ popsicle decks and lightly shaped boards, not really the 80’s ones. Creature Willis Kimbel pro models and Antihero Orange eagle or green giant is what I’ve been contemplating.
Have any other recommendations I should check out? +15” wb with decent kicks. I have Indy 159, but I don’t mind sizing up to 169.
I know it’s a lot, so thanks in advance.[close]
Other than your retro 80s fish styles with huge wheelbases, you've got shapes that have straighter rails and bigger noses in the very early 90s which Polar covers really well. The 1991 has a 14.5 wb now though there have been some out there with 14.38 in the past. That's as big a wheelbase as you're likely to see for a early 90's shape unless you get something double drilled and put it in vert mode. Then it would be around 15". Welcome puts out a Chris Miller shape like that and I have a small hoard of them. After that, there are Eggs which keep it around 14.5 but there's the Huffer shape that has a 14.75wb. Enjoi puts out a 9" pop that has a 14.38wb on a mellow concave, steep kicks mold. There is some lineage with the Dwindle/Enjoi wood and NHS/Creature stuff but I don't think the wood and the molds are exactly the same. Maybe it's just they are all single pressed and at the same factory in China? Someone set me straight if you feel like it.
If you're comfortable with the overall dimensions, the Orange Eagle is reliably available and has been for years. It's too much wheelbase for me but I can think of a couple of people who only ride that shape.
For the record, I'm not a big fan of any kinda rocker concave and I don't get why NHS keeps trying it.
Most "normal" boards do have way more "normal" concave, so on average quite different to Santa Cruz / Creature boards, which are definitely really good boards that I appreciate, but cannot ride myself as they just don't feel comfortable.
As to which boards will work, it often comes down to which woodshop and concaves used, so as per people talking about Black Label, Polar and many others including Antihero, who all make readily available bigger boards, they are all from the same woodshop too (called BBS), which then makes it way easier to find a board I am comfortable riding - almost the same concaves, although some might be a touch more mellow, others a touch steeper, but feel nothing at all like other woodshops, such as the ones that Santa Cruz / Creature come from (Dwindle / Excel).
From being in and around skate shops a whole lot, the best advice is go in somewhere that has a reasonable selection of brands and stand on any and every board you can to see what feels more comfortable, including boards you might not ride for specific shapes and sizes, just to get a feel for them and once you work out which one feels the best, then it is way easier to look up which woodshop they come from and get something from that range, even if it is online rather than in person.
I know that is not always possible, but going in to which ever local shop there is around, close or not so close, it is worth the effort, more so than only buying online and trying to work out after you have set a board up if you like it or not.
Some would say the madness alone of working out which woodshop feels the best and limiting your options from that is a step in the wrong direction, but it is up to each person to work out what they want, what works, what doesn't work and go from there.
Given you are in a specific country in Europe, things can sometimes be a bit more painful, between who has what, but others who do live in various places in Europe usually have good advice on here for others too.

Actually, Powell makes Flights all the way up to 9.7.I would probably be real comfy on the long wheelbase flights, but I hear the kicks are somewhat low and the concave mellow.
I had an 8.75 flight popsicle from them, and my only complaint was the long wheelbase. I redrilled it on my && deck (along with sanding off the sharp edges) and now I actually really like it.
And yes, it lasts a stupid long time.

Now they are through the new supplier and distributor Quarter Distribution, things might take a minute to get boards to whatever specs they want through the "unknown woodshop" (China or where ever) they get theirs from, rather than previously Gnosis UK making the boards to order.

When I was getting in a lot of Creature stuff for a side project shop quite a few years ago now, one guy always wanted the 9" and they were huge to stand on, big steep concave cross ways as well as steep kicks, which I don't think has changed any after standing on one recently in a shop, but the tails were more on the shorter side when comparing to similar boards.
I am not a steep concave / steep kick person, so they felt totally wrong for me, compared to my AH orange eagles which I have had a few of, more as a fun board, but they still skate fine as a normal big board too. Concave was really good for the size and shape, same dimensions of 9 x 33 with 15 wb too, along with a few other brands which use the same BBS wood for their 9 x 33 decks, all with really good ratio of nose, tail, etc, but I am more biased in that regard.
The others I know who have that size board ride them with Indy 169s, but a few are riding Ace trucks in the 9" variety now too, which also works well, although they are way more loose truck / turny / carvy type of rides, you can put hard bushings in them so they are not so loosey goosey. I have had setups with both of those and prefer Indy, but again, that is just me. The Ace trucks still skated well and worked nicely on it.
The two orange eagles I have set up right now both have standard Indy 169s, Spitfire Classics, one with 58mm and one with 54mm wheels. A couple of other boards of similar size have Spitfire Conical Full 56 and 58mm with thin rubber risers, but I haven't really skated them a whole lot as I prefer the Classic shaped wheels myself and they are just used completes for other people to try when they want to skate a bigger board. They all still work fine though.

Thanks for that rundown. I somehow had a brain fart and didn’t finish my previous post. The train of thought I was on for mentioning that guy with all the eagles, was to say that I’d like the same consistency but differing graphics. Even though the graphics in the eagle are really good.
There’s a sale right now that puts the Toy Machine 9” x 33” x 15” right in my scope.
You mention other boards, that are like from the same mold as the eagle? Which one should I check out?
For now, in the long run the Creature will save me a bit of money per deck compared to the AH eagle.
Don’t think I’d mind the steep kicks and concave of the Creature. I just wanted to see pictures of it to see whether any of them had the tub.
Def gonna get me some 169, but can’t decide on forged or standard hollow. Ideally I’d get both, and that way I can use 56mm wheels on the forged when they’re worn down to 54. Use the 56mm/standard hollow for transition, and 54mm/forged for street.
Do you think I could do that with the current Gonz shape and put the Huffer wheelbase on it?
you guys seen that new Unity board? looks pretty good.
9.75" wide, 14.1" wheelbase. seems its the same shape as the Hanging Klansman deck from Real.
I'm 5'6 120ish and skate 8.25-8.5. I don't usually pay too much attention to wheelbase but the last board I had a Real Zion Cathedral was 8.28 but the wheelbase was just above 14 inches so it felt like a much smaller deck. I like being able to get a cheap or free old deck from a friend and be able to skate it if it's in those parameters and I would say a lot of skaters are in that width zone right now. I don't know I could be wrong but all my friends seem to be there. I'd like to try a foil wrapped Primitive egg shaped deck like Franky rides but I'm scared of spending 60 some odd dollars on a gamble.

The one and only thing I would say about those egg shaped boards is they have a tiny, tiny tail.
If at all possible, try to see one and stand on one before you buy it, because that killed that idea for me completely when I saw and stood on it. Or any egg shaped board for that matter.
Not that I need a big square tail or anything like that, but a normal tail of boards you have skated will be both longer and wider to the tip than something like those Primitive egg shapes.
Some people love them, but others find them very difficult to skate normally.

Creature concave is all the same, so the smaller Creature boards will be the same concave as the larger Creature boards, just a different mold for the much longer board.
BBS molds are consistently the same throughout their own boards too, so right off the top of my head, I can't remember too many options that are currently in stock in 9" boards with the 33 length and 15 wb, but there should also be a few other options with shorter wheelbases that are good boards and decent wood.
Did I see you are EU based? That changes things with looking up shops to get boards from as well, but I know a few shops that use BBS and get wider boards in, but most of those are in AU (where I am) or more commonly in USA.
I usually look up boards with width being the first thing, then check the other measurements, but some like Polar have shorter wheelbases and length, as do Enjoi from Dwindle, which is comparable to Creature boards in concave.
https://www.skatedeluxe.com/en/toy-machine-sketchy-monster-9-skateboard-deck-multi_p109412
This Toy Machine deck looks like it has PS Stix wood - warning sticker and front bolts laser engraving - which is different to both BBS and current Creature concave but should be a good board to get too.
Are you sure all the Creature offerings come with that flat-cave/tub in the middle and angled up sides?
If they’re all this flat imma have to go get my name changed cause I can’t ride this.
That’s the exact board I’ve been looking at, albeit at another retailer. The board above is my second coming back to skating, and my first was an 8” x 32” x 14” shop deck. That one flexes so bad under my weight I don’t dare ride it anymore.
So I’m not really biased towards any specific Woodshop or anything. My board 20 years ago was a 8” Santa Cruz, which was huge for back then.
Yeah, I’m in Denmark. I’m mostly limited to online shopping because: 1) distance 2) availability and 3) price.
I’m mostly looking at 15” or above wheelbases which leaves out a lot of boards and brands completely. I.E. Polar, cause they’re all short.
I feel like just ordering a bunch of stuff and just send back the things I don’t immediately gel with.

It is very possible that they have changed, from ten years ago, to even one year ago, or even between some shapes and sizes, but I feel like all Creature boards had a lot more concave than was comfortable for me, as well as steep kicks.
That is relative though, because someone recently had a go on a 9" orange eagle I have set up and said how steep it felt, which was weird cause their board was way steeper / different woodshop so different concave and press mold feeling, with the orange eagle feeling pretty mellow and very comfortable for me.
A flatter board will flex a lot more right from day one, with a steeper feeling or deeper concave holding the board shape way more.
One of the reasons I was never that keen on Flight or similar feeling boards is how much flex they start with, when compared to normal all wood board constructions, but as well as that, having a board with zero give whatsoever was also not to my liking and too far off the top end of the scale.
As you said, maybe order a few things and send back anything that you can't get on with. It might be easier in that regard than trying to make something work you have bought and not getting along with it.

I feel like some of those could work, but could also flex right out or just break under pressure.
Anyway, it was fun having a look at what was currently available.
looks like im permanently returning to 9+ boardsSize 13s are more like 12.25" (assuming they're a company that does 31cm some do 33cm)
did some measuring and found an equation for my madness
10.5 is supposedly the average mens shoes size in the us
we can assume 8.25 is the average board size
10.75”(size 10.5) - 8.25” = 2.5” of overhang
11.5”(size 13 rounded) - 2.5” overhang = 9.0” or 8.25” equivalent
9.0 = 8.25
9.25 = 8.5
9.5 = 8.75
9.75 = 9
never struggled flipping “big” boards. well, me sized boards
im not really heroins target demo but they got the shapes

im seeing 29.5cm for mens 13 but close enough. wont trip on itSize 13s are more like 12.25" (assuming they're a company that does 31cm some do 33cm)Expand Quotelooks like im permanently returning to 9+ boards
did some measuring and found an equation for my madness
10.5 is supposedly the average mens shoes size in the us
we can assume 8.25 is the average board size
10.75”(size 10.5) - 8.25” = 2.5” of overhang
11.5”(size 13 rounded) - 2.5” overhang = 9.0” or 8.25” equivalent
9.0 = 8.25
9.25 = 8.5
9.5 = 8.75
9.75 = 9
never struggled flipping “big” boards. well, me sized boards
im not really heroins target demo but they got the shapes

The problem I've found with scaling up is the weight. For a while I liked 9 with 169 and 56-58mm wheels and felt like I'd scaled up the setup to match my size but as my abilities declined found the weight of the setup really contributed to my pop and control getting worse for general street skating (jumping shit, ledges, Manny's, flatground etc)

This has been my thinking for a little while. Which is why I have a 9.25 in the mail (I’m a size 14 shoe)
u left the most important dimension out. general rule of thumb is your dick

Do you think I could do that with the current Gonz shape and put the Huffer wheelbase on it?[close]
Generally speaking, yes it is not too hard and usually works fairly well, but drill the nose out more so than the tail.
Is that the Sweatpants graphic / shape? * I say sweatpants, as that is the (roughly speaking) 9.8 x 32 with 14.38 wb, but the graphic changes a fair bit, current catalog being "Gathering" graphic.
https://krookedskateboarding.com/fall22/kr-fl22-d1-08.jpg
Using the six hole baseplate, it is easy to do the bolts up tight, drill out the spare holes, then turn the baseplate around and drill out the inside holes. That is 3/8 longer, so that and the existing 14.38 will become pretty much the Huffer 14.75 wb, or 14 3/4" if that makes sense.
I wouldn't mess with the Gonz sweatpants shape.The nose and tail are just about the same length. If you lengthen the wheelbase you'll end up with a tiny nose. That shape is really well thought out. Just an unsolicited opinion.
^Totally not a Frankie Hill Bulldog which it self is just a Vallely with a nose. Please excuse this flex I think the board is sickNM it's a drilled back Vallely. Even sicker

Anybody here that skated a Zip Zogger before? I've been intrigued by the shape but couldn't find any available. Saw that the Sam Davidson Zogger finally has a graphic that I like, so I might give that one a try if I can find one in Europe.

If you have a zogger shaped hole in your life, fill it, but it's not going to be something you pick over any other board most of the time.

It does seem a little too close, compared to the 3/8" distance that the six hole baseplates give, but I know people who have done it and not had issues.
If I recall, someone on here did break through the other sets of holes, but that was when the board shot straight into a curb or something that might not be quite "normal use" but I didn't go looking.
I have a Deathwish board here that is double drilled 1/4" apart on the nose and it looks like it would hold up well enough.

Taper. Dunno what that width is at the trucks but many are far narrower at the trucks than the widest part and I at least don’t like hot dogging one bit. I’ve hit my foot in my back wheel too many times doing that while having trucks too wide for the deck width at the back truck.

For eggs and football shapes, you want your trucks narrower than the width at the wide point due to the taper.

I posted some thoughts here earlier already. Maybe you can check those too. Overall compared to an egg I would say that this is quite different. The tail feels like a normal 8.5” tail (albeit short) whereas on an egg the tail is usually rather pointy. The nose is huge in width. Plenty of space there. The widest point of the deck is where you’d normally keep your front foot. Compared to an egg this gives you a lot of leverage. On an egg the widest part is in the middle where it really doesn’t do much for me at least. It’s a rad deck and quite different to anything else I’ve skated. I’ve ran it on the 14.75” wheelbase myself for what it’s worth. Short wheelbases are not for me. Probably doesn’t make a huge difference to how the deck is compared to an egg though.
Could i get the general view of whether to run 8.75 or 9 width trucks on the Winkowski dope planet. I read the main man runs 159s, which i have, but then he also eats cold pasta out the can, which i dont do.Straight out the can is more room temp than cold. Doesn't he ride those big oj wheels (called rockets maybe) they might overhang the axle and make the trucks feel wider.
Looking at grabbing one in BF sales if the 159s wouldnt feel a bit small.

First post, but I’ve gotta say—reading through this thread has been super educational. I didn’t know squat about wheelbase or truck geometry or anything, so thanks to everyone posting their knowledge.
I just bought a Dead Dave 10.1” (it’s coming in the mail) and I have a question about trucks n wheels. The DD appears to be pretty wide down the whole length, rather than tapered or fishy shaped, but I’m hoping can still make my Indy 169s work with the right wheels. Do you think 169s w the fat-ass Powell dragons will be sufficient? Thanks OMC
The ACE 77 would fit nicely as well and not be too gigantic.
215’s are fun but limiting.
The 169’s will sit in a bit but be fine.

I have a Natas 10" board with 215s and I agree they're limiting. Love them as trucks for using it as a cruiser, but for skating in a pool, sizing down to 169's felt best.

I have a Dead Dave on Ace 77s right now but ran 169s on it before. Depending on which dragons you get they shouldn't magic carpet too bad especially if you run a few washers inside. I was thinking about getting some of the dragon formula rat bones to replace my cruiser wheels, I think those plus 3 washers inside would work great for your DD 169 setup.
Thanks for the advice, guys. It's good to know the 169s will likely do the trick, since trucks are the one thing I don't like buying new.
The Dragons I'm looking at are the "V6" shape, which look pretty wide.
@minilogoflow, I have some old formula Rat Bones and just measured them...they extend 4-5mm beyond the axle bolts.
i swear by the mutant shape with 169's. the perfect setup to me. and if you already have those and are used to them. the least you can do is try that before anything else.
Using this tool: https://eleif.net/photomeasure along with the top down image of the deck on the Skatewarehouse site, I am getting 9.60 over the back trucks on the Dead Dave shape. Either 77s or 169s would work with some carpeting and 215s would hot rod a decent amount. I got 9.85 over the front trucks for a frame of reference.

i'm riding Spitfire OG Classics, kinda wide. but thinking of just switching to Classics since all i do are slappys so wanny try a rounder wheel.
i'm not worried about the wideness of the wheels, i found i like magic carpets. kinda freaks me out when i see too much front wheel.

Only the French and Dead Toons Mutants are double drilled. I'm riding the French deck right now, and I didn't wanna go for the small wb as the nose is already huge on the long wb.
speaking of scram... I finally burnt through my rocket 88 (the blue one) and set up a new Fink II. loving the shape, having a usable nose again is great, and the 14.5 wb makes me feel very zoomy compared the the 15 on the rocket. 10" by 31 inches long

How in the world do you end up with such a groove in the middle of the truck?
I skate mostly transition and I have a significant groove on the heelside of my back truck and toeside of my front truck.
But the middle of the truck is barely getting any scratches.

its 14.6 from memory. by white eagle you mean the huffer? i would allways skate 14.75 before and don't notice a difrence on the mutant since its so minimal.
i love the shape cause it got that 80's vibe with the bumbs but it got a big ass nose so you can skate it like normal.

i don’t have all the measurements but i do remember the back truck mount area measuring around 8.75. i would personally run a 159/151/ AF1 60. i think 55s would be too small

Speaking of Black Label, it is interesting to see their 9" popsicle that used to be the same dimensions as the AH orange eagle, that was 9 x 33 with 15 wb has changed to a more manageable shorter board, which I think some people might prefer.

I just bought an orange eagle, it's going to be my ramp/transition board. I'm curious to see how it's going to fare on a ramp. I wanted a larger popsicle; I'm coming from a 9.25 shaped Tired board and just felt like a change.
From what I've been reading, the 15-inch wheelbase isn't going to allow me to turn as quickly...but since I'm skating transition, I don't think it'll matter that much, and it'll provide me with more stability overall.
It was either this board, an Uma 9.0 egg, or a Polar Hjalte 9.0. Went to the shop and discovered I don't like an egg's small nose and tail, and the Polar isn't readily available where I live. So I bought the board from the shop, happy to support the shop, and I'm hyped to skate a new board.
What do you think Brim, did you like it on your ramp?
Hey Slap. I had this thing set up as a cruiser for a while, but the shape seemed too good for just beer runs.

That looks like really good fun!
Is that one normal (modern) concave or the old flat with only a slight tail / nose kick?
Some I had stood on felt so clunky but the look of that with what seems like modern concave seems like it would work well.
Not a worry either way, but I know a lot of others have something like that in the original no concave variety, which seem better on a wall than under my feet, but that is just me.

Been considering one for a while now and finally got it in a New Years sale. Hyped on the color as well.

Trucks seem to fit perfectly, but haven’t been able to ride it yet. Stoked![close]
I have Ace AF166s on my Dane and I've never had any issue with the 9" axle. I like a little magic carpet so I'd be fine with an 8.75" axle too.
I'll be 48 this year so the Dane1 is right up my alley... old school-ish shape with modern concave etc makes me happy.
Plus I love the short wheelbase.
Hopefully you enjoy the board as much as I do![close]
Have fun with your Dane1! It's a super fun board and got most of my skate time last summer. Iset up mine with Ace Classic 55s and Conical Fulls 54mm. Next wheels will be Keyframe 56mm because I'm more into cruising with it.[close]
First Session was amazing, couldn’t believe how well it flips for such a big Board with an oldschool-ish shape (even though that’s what everyone said and that’s why I bought it)

I’m too much of a coward to step to a 9+ but I woke up today and all I wanted to do was skate my Passport spade, (8.8 I think) and it was a great time, recently put some Oski radials on it from OG Classics and it skates like a dream.
The stub nose makes things trickier but it felt great when the Ollie’s leveled out like normal

The spade is very similar to The Polar Shin surf shape, which now also comes in 9.0 too. It’s funny, I couldn’t really nollie well on the spade, but I got the point where I could really jam in noseslide tricks on it, whereas on the polar I always felt like there wasn’t enough room on the nose….

This may be one of the largest conventionally available decks on the market. The Alva Pescado Grande rings in at 37" x 12" with an 18" wb. It's about the only deck I've seen that makes 215s look small.

the pescado graphic layout bothers me. I assume maybe it was limited by board shape and screen size, but leaving the head right at the truck mount is a shame. I do bet that board is a fun shape to skate though.

Just ordered my first 9" skateboard. I've gone up as far as 8.88 and usually skate 8.75. I love the newish line of Dead Dave graphics from Heroin, so I had to order one.
So I’ve been skating the AH Orange eagle 9”, mostly because of how highly it’s been recommended. I love it. It’s like they took a small board and just made it super big. Lengthwise it’s a boat tho.
I also got it to start trying different Woodshops, to kind of broaden my horizon, and narrow the field in regards to future boards.
Mine didn’t have a Roman numeral, but I thought all BBS DLX boards did? It did have the “Skat within your abilities, made in Mexico”-sticker. I’m in Europe if that matters.

I'm interested in an info on this shape as well.
Thanks Brimmo! I found a Tommy Guerrero FB post from early 2016 about the pink Hot Butterknife board where it was listed as 9.3 x 33. DLX stays weird with their measurements. Is that about when the shape was first introduced? I looked through what was posted on artofskateboarding and there just wasn't much there for TG's early Real board output. Essentially, I'm trying to figure out if it's a new(er) shape or one they pulled out of the archives. The shape is pretty similar to the Blind Skull and Banana which was similar to most of Mark's Blind shapes so I thought that might be the jump off. Now that I know it was out at least a year before the S&B reissue I'm less inclined to think they are related at all.
Also, only dlx decks have the Roman numeral,
Not all bbs decks.
.The pink version is from Spring 16 so I guess they carried the graphic over on to a different shape for the next season. Appreciate your help!
Then this one here, next catalog actually so I wasn't far off.
The only board over 8.5 in both catalogs, which is why it was so memorable to me anyway.
So many boards being put out back then too!

The crazy thing is I think I have had maybe about half a dozen Gonz boards (or at least wacky DLX boards) with what seems like one off or weird shapes, that I haven't seen before or again, so I am thinking I might have to do some more looking - both at the DLX barcode stickers on them, or for the ones that are skated, some key words usually mis spelled or otherwise difficult to look up, eg this one
Krooked Gonz Effishant deck that funnily enough comes up as Gonz Elephant deck on ebay cause someone couldn't read the bad spelling.

Back then the person they had doing shapes was all about long wb and lengths plus short tails usually(I think tg equated a quicker snap to a shorter length) so the dlx shapes of that era usually followed that logic. I skated this one Krooked board for a year, back when shaped boards were less than a novelty. I still have one because I loved it so much.

If memory serves me correctly, the Effishant was basically a Tyshawn Baby Beemer as far as specs/shape goes without the Beemer mold or routered out wheel wells/weight relief spots. I had one of the Baby Beemers years back and had the Bird Beemer, and while they were super fun to skate, I never quite got over how bizarre the center recess feels.

It is quite possible that mine has been sitting around in a warehouse. I’m in Denmark, and i bought it from the Danish branch of the British Skatepro online shop. And it was discounted some. Not many skaters here, and most ride smaller boards.
It’s a great board anyhow, and it seems legit enough.

During the pandemic quite a few orange eagles didn't get the stamp, as per three I picked up in 2021 that might have been going elsewhere for other brands, but were pulled and reallocated to DLX in BBS. That is the theory anyway. They are the same wood, same concave, same everything only the warning sticker is right in the middle of the bolts over the dot, where most boards have them, compared to the DLX boards that are above the bolts so people can see what number the board is.
At that time the orange eagle was near impossible to get, along with quite a few other shapes, especially in the bigger sizes, so I was stoked to grab them and I think I just happened to be in the right place at the right time when stock arrived.
I also happen on some older stock now and then too, although it is increasingly difficult to find any boards pre press position stamp nowdays, but some shops have had some boards sitting around in clearance bins or even in the back room or whatever, that people might not notice so much if they have the generic eagle graphic, compared to something that is easily dated for a specific run.
People in places other than USA would often have a significant delay on product too, eg I am in Australia, others in Europe or harder to reach places might also have some similar things.
Not a worry either way, as pretty much every single board for the last four or five years has had the press position stamp for DLX boards, but there have been the other occasional brand that ended up with some boards marked for DLX that were reallocated, eg a Heated Wheel board had a III stamp I saw not too long ago and I think there was another one someone had taken a pic of and sent to me, but I can't remember the brand now.
Funny really, but they are all legit boards from BBS woodshop.
Thanks man! My tits have been significantly calmed by you telling me this. I think it’s exactly one of those cases you’ve described.
But now I’m starting to doubt if it actually is just a very faint “I” I see in my pictures.
Who TF knows? I’m a dumb noob-kook. Just happy I got what I ordered.
One final important additionFuck, that Lone Gunmen sticker really ties the whole room together!

Expand QuoteJust ordered my first 9" skateboard. I've gone up as far as 8.88 and usually skate 8.75. I love the newish line of Dead Dave graphics from Heroin, so I had to order one.[close]
I liked the new Dave series a lot too. Got the same graphic, but I came from a long time of skating the 10 inch Mutants, so it felt really weird to be back on a popsicle again. The first session felt so sketch, but I was able to pop my tricks higher. Riding Indys again after 6 months of just my Ace 77s didn't really make this proces any easier, but during the second session everything felt familiar already. I never have trouble sizing up, but sizing down and adjusting to that feels terrible.
bit the bullet and got one of the new Blast decks. now i really wanna try the new wood and set it up as me next board. but i also going on a trip soon and probably rather ride a shape i already know i like and skate the best on when traveling.
so i'm stuck on deciding if i set this up next or just do another Heroin Mutant.
this 9.5 Mutant Smasher is really cool to me casue i absolutely loved the Kaiju inspired figure they did back then and still regret not buying one. aswell as the original and japanese Smahers beeing some of my favorite boardgraphics of them.
and this shape is one they did a couple times before too and i wanted to try it for a while.Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Very cool, I'm bouncing between indy's and ace's too. Though a size or two down 159 and 60 af1's. I didn't bother sizing my indy's up for the 9" because my wheels stick out so much they should be flush with the 9". What are your thoughts on the razor top (??) thing Heroin does? I've gripped the board up and stood on it and my first though was this would give super shinners. I am super stoked to ride it though, and I'm tempted if all goes well to buy a few more just because I get such a kick out of the graphics in this newer line.
my main issue is the nose beeing really short throwing me off after skating Curb Killers and Dead Dave's all year. i just can't get noseslides on this and my foot slipped off a couple times too. on the other hand crooks have never been this easy. makes me wonder if big noses drag more on crooks?
also notice i pop my 180s much better on this board. maybe the loonger tail or lighter weight play into that.
i still got 5 weeks to figure out if i wanna commit to taking this board with me on my trip, or just set up a fresh Dead Dave before i leave.

I also like 159s on 9" popsicles. I like the tiny bit of magic carpet I get with them, but I do add an extra washer on the inside to make it a tiny bit more flush with the deck.

Totally feel this. The Mutant has a huge nose, so switching to any other deck will make it feel so tiny. The first 3 sessions on a 9" Polar popsicle felt like skating a 7.5 after skating two Mutants back to back.

Different opinion: I've had some epic shinners with the razor top and now sand it down to regular style before gripping any boards.

Same.
I had a couple of variants on that edge (Antihero old man edge, Heroin razortop) and between chips and other issues, I would rather get a board with a normal edge.
Was it on some or all of them now that have the kicks rounded off like normal and just the middle rail area still razortop or is it the whole way round the top of the board?

All recent decks I've seen from them have the kicks rounded off, which makes the extra chipping not that noticeable. I'm indifferent to it, but some people seem to like it. Grosso always skated a similarity top ply as well.
A recent trend I do not like, are wheel wells. All my Polar and Heroin decks had wheel wells that were very visibly uneven, and I always get bad chips at the thinner parts of the deck. I've never had any problems with wheelbite, so I'd rather just have a normal deck.
I think “razor top” is the one with the sharp edge going round the board and “razor edge” is just the sides.
I’ve had one board with it. Gripping that board was difficult. I was slicing wood off. Other than that I can’t say it did much anything for me. It was on the widest board I’ve ever skated though so that might have an effect. I did notice it but didn’t mind or find any advantages.

razor edge also makes the actual standing surface of a deck a little wider. thats one i notice but probably mostly visially.
i hate how wheel wells look. and also have smashed the thin parts where its super weak yeah. its creating more problems than it solves for me as a heavy wheelbiter. i'll also still wheelbite a ton with wheelwells. (and 1/4th'' risers and just measured, 50mm wheels.)
i gotta loose some weight maybe.

That looks like it adds up really well for someone who doesn't want quite as long a board but still wanted a good width.
Looks like a good shape, nice big round tail too.
Can I be that guy and ask for a top pic please?

Not a worry.
I can easily see the outline of the board and stoked it doesn't have a pointy little tail like some other boards of similar proportions. That was the main thing. A wide board with short to medium wheelbase and short pointy tail seems to be quite common and is a deal breaker for me.
Much appreciated!

That board looks sick in a good way!
I’m still quite new to skateboarding and dimensions, so I wouldn’t understand how anyone could be looking for something completely different than me and why no-one makes the perfect board for me.
Having skated the Orange eagle for a couple of weeks now, I have narrowed my FOV in regards to boards. It’s a great board, very durable. I like the long wheelbase, but I don’t need the kicks that long. I mean c’mon, the kicks almost make up half the board. 7,25” nose and 7” tail vs 15” wheelbase.
I could see my next board being a shape, as they tend towards longer wheelbases but shorter overall but would do a pop in the right dims in a heartbeat.
Currently I have narrowed it down to boards with 15” wheelbase, and tails and noses around the 6,75” - and total length around 32”. Nose length isn’t really that important, as I don’t really do a lot of tricks off it yet. I prefer mellower kicks and flat to medium concave.
Picture just for reference. I like the madness and frog boards the most, but I don’t know anything about how they skate.

I have a love hate relationship with the quasi egg. I don't really get to skate enough to run astray from my beloved boxy ps stix 8.5 x 32.125 x 14.25 on venture 5.8s but here I am. This is my second and some days I love it and some I hate it. I just cracked the tail on my last one. Not this past weekend but the one before I had a good time skating it at the skate park on a saturday then went back to the park on a sunday and couldn't ollie on it but it might have just been my legs. I've been working this weird shift that's 1 am to like 11 am mon - fri (it was a multiyear project and on Central European Time and I live in NJ that I'm just wrapping up but I start regular 8 am shift on this Monday) and I'm 32 and I sit in a desk chair for long hours and I have a one year old who rules and deserves all my time, so not really that much skating lately and my legs can tell. My legs feel 1 billion years old. Plus on top of that I was never very good lol. I just got a yoga mat and a below the desk pedal thing and started using a foam roller again this week. Going to start maybe trying to eat healthier and perhaps slow down on my alcohol consumption but that's not as likely. Either way it always feels good to get outside and push around even if I'm feeling extra awkward on my board.
I moved into the house next door (same landlord - needed more room for my wife and baby and home office, etc.) and since moving they've done a lot of work in the parking lot behind my old house and it's made the ground a bit rougher - really eats up a board - still awesome to push around back there. I have a box and a quarterpipe in the furnace room in the basement of this house that I want to go in and get to skate but I sort of don't want to scare the tenants who moved into my old apartment anymore than I already do just yet. Either way set this guy up and went out really quick at golden hour when my wife and daughter went to my sister in laws. Put the phone down for a little and filmed a brief moment of my flat ground where most of the tricks I did were completely out of frame because I'm a dope. Either way this is a ton to write about a board I don't know if I like and I'm 100% rambling. Go Birds! Mind the poor nollie flip and slow speed on the only three things I did almost in frame, it's on a bit of an incline and I'm working on getting my legs back.

The Frog board is BBS, just like the orange eagle (unless Frog have changed, but I think they only had one PS Stix board out and it was a one off shape anyway) and the other two will feel more like the Creature board, unless the Santa Cruz has the Cruz Missile concave, but again they can have different concave options, so just check the listings for those boards.
I know a few people who don't use the nose and will always drill a more standard board out way longer at the nose end if it allows it, just so they have the longer wheelbase without a 33" long board. This opens up the options a whole lot more, even just drilling anything out using the Indy six hole baseplate as a template which is 3/8" so anything around 14.5 to 14.75 are good in that regard for extending the wheelbase to a more comfortable length for your happy place.
Indy standard trucks in 159, 169, 215 or 109 all have the six hole baseplates, as do some other brands, so bolting the baseplate on and drilling through the other two holes, turning the baseplate around and drilling through the inside holes when you put it at the longer bolt pattern is a good way to get an accurate wheelbase extension, but if you are careful it is not hard to just measure and drill.

Thank you! 6.1s I have nothing but good things to say about. I don’t know what it is about them but they have a better turn than the 5.8s I usually ride I don’t know if it’s cause they’re wider. I love the 5.8s too but it was pretty impressive how quick break in time and the turn on them right out the gate.
The board is sometimes so fun and feels really good for everything but especially 360 flips or back 360s and other stuff and sometimes it feels like their isn’t enough board and I can’t even ollie on it. I think the bad days are just cause I’m not skating as much as I’d like and I’m looking to blame anything but myself lol.

just measured and it's a 6.75T. I'm with you, short tails are horrible for me. no issues here though
Grabbed the newest Huffer. This one is for following my 4-year-old around the neighborhood or through paved trails in the woods near our house. I'm still using riding last drop's Herndon graphic Huffer for bowls and mini ramps.
Please excuse the too-long hardware. It's all I had that fit the 58mm wheels and 1/4" risers.
Edit: Apologies. That rug is filthy. My home office doubles as a playroom/snack room for my two young children.

Guessed really, but the "traditional flag" on the grip was a sure sign - rad grip job too!!
Lots of rad people I know who skate and have a proud indigenous heritage.
That's a rad thing about skateboarding, bringing everyone together and breaking down barriers.

As of this moment, the samples are 9.25" x 32" with a 14.25" wb (7" nose, 6.625" tail, 9" over the front truck, 8.75" over the rear truck). We're going to give these a go to see if we want to make any changes and then get a slightly larger sample batch to add a few people to the feedback loop. Ideally, the plan is to get everything locked in shape & measurement wise and do a small 1st production run in late spring/early summer.

trucks to go with a 10.1" Heroin dead dave deck...215s make your board kind of a tank, not a problem if you aren't flipping your board. af1 77s are less stable not as much because they are narrow but because they are ace. I also tried thunder 161 which are more stable than ace, turn less and wheelbite more, also I didn't find too narrow. Long story short, follow your heart...
I would love some advice on trucks to go with a 10.1" Heroin dead dave deck...
Up to now I have thought of the Indy 215s and the narrower Ace 77s... The deck is 9.75" at the tail bolts and a little wider 9.85" across the nose bolts. I fancy trying the Aces but am nervous that the 9.5" axle would lead to instability... I'm a novice and weigh about 200lbs ( 14stone+)
I really wondered what sort of effect trucks with axles 1/4 to 1/2 inch narrower than the deck, would have on the stability of the ride and just the experience in general.
I'm gonna use it to ride bowls and curbs..
Any advice and experiences would be appreciated.(https://i.ibb.co/p1SwmFK/RDT-20230214-2324504253399098303859639.png) (https://ibb.co/p1SwmFK)
Expand Quotelooks great! lets see a top shot/pov?[close]
It's pouring today so I'm stuck taking indoor shots.
One of the things I set out to do with the shape is to cater the fit to a 9" truck a little better than some other shapes that I've skated in the past. For some reason, a lot of directional shapes have a somewhat drastic taper toward the back truck and I wanted to do something that didn't give "hoverboard" look while also avoiding the "drag racer" look in the rear with your wheels being super exposed. With this, the outer edge of the wheel meets just about at the edge of the rear (8.75" over axle) and you can just about see the axle nut in the front (9" over axle). I designed it to skate more like a big popsicle and you kind of achieve that with how mellow the taper is.
I'm also super picky with tail shapes (I do a bunch of tail blocks) so I went for a more square shape than what a lot of people have been doing recently and took a bit of inspiration for the nose shape from an AH Raney board.

its funny how once every 2 months or so this topic comes up. i don't think ace77 width is gonna effect the stabitily (ace being ace might, like the other guy said).
i'm sure Dave himself rides them with classic 66's.
i ride it with 169's and like it that way.
but one thing is for sure, of you wanna try the 215's this is the board to try it on. there are not many boards that fit 215's that well.
just follow yuor hearth.

I ride the 66 classics on my mutants and I have to say the setup is too perfect for any terrain.
I weigh around 90kg and ride very loose and rattling trucks and some 55mm OJs.
Try to get used to the looser trucks, you will benefit a lot from it. Especially on transition.

I ride significantly looser trucks on transition than on street stuff, but I prefer a bit more movement and don't have any wheelbite issues on ramp usually.
That said, I know some times when I know I am already bailing out of a trick and push down hard on one side the wheelbite is actually a good thing and I can get off my board more easily, almost like putting the hand brake on in that regard.
As to personal opinions, if you are balanced and can get down lower, it will definitely help, but being able to carve and turn more easily, even on straight walls was the main thing for me.
For how tight or loose you have your own trucks, I was skating with a couple of older guys the other week and they both had "no movement" kind of trucks, almost a whole cm of kingpin showing on Indy standards, which in itself was nuts, but after they had a go on one of my bigger boards with stock bushings with nut flush and softer wheels, one guy said it was weird and scary at first, but then he started to really like that he could turn and just lean a whole lot more so was going to loosen his off some.
I said just loosen it off half a turn and have a skate, then another half a turn, etc to ease into it. Then if it gets too loose for you you can tighten it back up half a turn and so on. Definitely would not be going from as tight as he had it to just nut flush and hope for the best, but that is just me anyway.
@Prostate Exam rips too, so having good balance and skill really helps with looser trucks. Those clips of that indoor park ramp were definitely worth watching again.

I think looseness also has to he considered relative to weight. I’m 225lbs. Someone that’s 150 lbs would think my trucks are tight—and for them they would be too tight. But when I lean they go where I tell them too.

its funny, i weight even more (less funny for me) but a lot of people complain about how loose my trucks are, even when they're skinny themselves. but then i step on their boards and i can't steer at all.
tho i tihnk that can't steer at all feeling isn't cause their trucks are so tight, but more so that i'm used to steering without having to do anything at all.
i've spend quite a while losening my trucks slowly over time. every time it felt normal again i'd do half a turn looser again. throws you off at fist bit i allways get used to it again. i'ts just soo much more fun swerving around on loose trucks. i could never go back. i can't deny my pop suffered tho.

I think looseness also has to he considered relative to weight. I’m 225lbs. Someone that’s 150 lbs would think my trucks are tight—and for them they would be too tight. But when I lean they go where I tell them too.
I went from tight (Indy with bones hards tightened down) to loose (Aces with stock bushings with thinner washers) after I broke my leg. Getting back to skating after like 6 months off the board I didn't have the strength to turn the damn skateboard anymore. So I kept going looser and looser. Settled on Aces. I was weighing around 90 kgs back then, so I wasn't exactly light. Anyway, I feel like it has a lot to do with how you like to control the turning also. I never figured out how to actually make tight trucks turn after breaking my leg even though I got my strength back and more. I guess I had learned a different way of being on the board.
Just wanted to say that it's a lot more about how you control your board than your weight in my opinion.

I’m asking because my Bones Hards have mushed out, and I’m trying stupid stuff again, and have mixed a set of Indy 96a and mini-logo 100a and have a top from one set and a bottom from the other. Feels good, and they’re not as tightened down as the old ones. I’ll try and keep them a little looser.
Definitely feels different and yes the measurements are accurate

Just curious, with the Bones bushings, do you start with the usual metal truck bushing washers on top and bottom as well, or put those in at any time, such as now when the Bones bushings have flattened somewhat?
Others start with just the thin flat washer on top usually and then add the normal metal washers over time as they compress and it works well with both top and bottom stock / normal washers on the Bones bushings sometimes even with the flat one on the very top or very bottom too.
Sort of helps the bushings last a bit longer for what they are for some people I know, otherwise they would be changing them out every month or less.
The label board is definitely going to feel shorter overall than an orange eagle… I mean, it could ultimately be to your benefit cause if you’re skating street as well as transition the orange eagle is too long for most people to use it fully functionally

I’m 5’10 and that 9” AH is my favourite. But again, I’m now a 225lbs, 33 years old father that mostly pushes around my suburban streets, doing nothing more than ollies, kf and slappies. I don’t do the street skating anymore, I just need a big whale board to hold my knees.

I have the 9” eagle as well. I’m trying to skate mini ramps on it. Dropped in for the first time about a month ago, so YMMV. Board is hella good, but it is really a canoe length wise.
Ollie’s are okay, but it takes quite a kick to get off the ground /w 169, 57mm radials.
Shinners from shove it’s are brutal with the weight.

It’s big for me to skate it seriously, but I was curious one time so I ended up with an Orange Eagle in my stack. Eventually skated it a few times at the park, but then when my Beach Bummer got stolen I turned it into a cruiser. Settled on an unconventional combo to say the least (I’ll take the kook for putting OJs on an Eagle, but I won’t apologize because this is truly an elite ride lol). The stability of the Ventures with the cushy turn of the Riptides is a great combo, and you can absolutely fly on this sled. Bar none one of the best high-speed carving machines I’ve ever skated.

set this up last weekend. 3 sessions in now. feels good to be back on the Mutant shape. i decided i need to stop buying other shapes (again), cause i skate the best on this. hope i can keep to it tho. allways tempted to try new shit, but just keep getting dissapointed since my first mutant.Beautiful
hope my trucks can keep up till the end of my trip next month. bushings and pivot cup are blown out and i hate taking them apart.

A word about the grip job.
The kanji on the grip say ‘gaman’ which means ‘to put up with’, or ‘to endure’.
It’s basically beat into every person here that you have to just ‘endure’ problems and shitty situations instead of actively find solutions.

i feel you. i got the TV one cause i like the shape but wasnt a big fan of the graphic. didn't help i got the worst top and bottom stains so the whole deck bummed me out. but i used it for the wet winter sessions so it was kinda good i didnt care much.
the French after that i love the graphic. then they had the Dead Toons (i liked that more than his TV one still) and then they had the worst one, the Snot wheels grahpic. and it was glow in the dark too... that one i hate so much.
this one is good. tho my least favorite of the Face Melters series. Craig's deck got the best graphic there i think.
just bummed these are dips. hope they got stains underneath. i've seen em do that once, but not common.

i feel you. i got the TV one cause i like the shape but wasnt a big fan of the graphic. didn't help i got the worst top and bottom stains so the whole deck bummed me out. but i used it for the wet winter sessions so it was kinda good i didnt care much.
the French after that i love the graphic. then they had the Dead Toons (i liked that more than his TV one still) and then they had the worst one, the Snot wheels grahpic. and it was glow in the dark too... that one i hate so much.
this one is good. tho my least favorite of the Face Melters series. Craig's deck got the best graphic there i think.
just bummed these are dips. hope they got stains underneath. i've seen em do that once, but not common.[close]
FWIW, I have an 8.75 Tom Day face melter graphic and the bottom ply under the dip is light pink/purple.[close]
Waiiiit, it's got a colored ply underneath? This changes everything.[close]
Mine does! I can upload a photo later. The dip is hot pink with a white undercoat. Beneath that is the pink/purple bottom veneer.[close]
i hope they all do. the Hiroton dipped ones form 2021 my friends Zane board had had an Orange ply, but me and other friends who had the Dave and Craig decks did not have colored plies.

Yeah man besides the French one the last few were pretty bad. Imo I like the DD face melter the best but that might be a little cope from just buying this jk. I don't mind the dip but mine doesn't have any colored plys. Honestly graphic is the last thing I care about and this shape is so good I'll ride just about anything they put on it.

Spotted these Beamer Coupes popping up in shops (14.75 in. wheelbase and a snub nose w/ no kick). Anyone snag or planning to snag one? Always wanted an Evil Beamer, but price, size, whatever always got cold feet. This seems much more fun and actually has me excited, probably because I’m one of those weird people who’ve been riding the Beach Bum/Zogger-type shape as more of a crusty street board than a pure cruiser or bowl/mini board.
That said, I don’t think I’ve ever actually owned a board with the flat, old-school snub nose like this. Do you still run 215s and just have it hot rod up front, or do you size down to 169s and pair with an offset wheel to bring it back out a bit?
I also have some AF1 77s around here somewhere, and I would probably be willing to grab some Stage 4 166s if necessary. I’d rather do that than Stage XI 169s, to be honest.

You could split the difference and go with a mid mutant 9.25. There's still some available online.

Measuring out the Grosso shape compared to the Nooner, it’s pretty much the same - slightly shaved and squished WB.

No offence whatsoever to Fos because I think he is a great guy but I think that Heroin just seems to be predominantly a company for people who like to collect stuff, 90% of their community online is just people who have dozens and dozens of pristine setups that they will never skate, at this point it seems like he is selling art more than skateboards, which I guess is cool on its own way!

I couldn’t agree less with that perspective. He has done some limited stuff recently but I know tons of people (myself included) who skate the shit out of their Heroin decs.
The brand does appeal more to older skaters, I think, but that doesn’t mean it’s just a hype beast style company. People also forget it’s been around for 20+ years. They do drops every quarter with plenty of supply to fill skate shops and their own website. I’ve never had trouble getting 8.75 popsicles or the 9.4 egg shape I like.
Also, it’s disingenuous to say “no offense” and then make a wild and completely anecdotal claim that 90% of Heroin fans don’t even skate.
Idk, I dig it. Does everyone company have to be that serious? And if so aren't there already a lot of those companies out there already? How come grimple stix true full gets a pass but this is a jump the shark moment for heroin??I don’t think all the brands should be serious. I love what heroin does. But I see the interest level of non functional shapes waning but maybe this is the thing that reinvigorates it. In my zone it was heavy with shaped decks but last 2 years it’s slowed way down.
Hey all, Fos here. Hope you're all good. Wanted to talk about Eggzilla for a minute. Had a blast making that board, I had the idea for it last year and had to talk to three or four different factories about making it happen because our regular factory couldn't make boards that big.
First thing I wanted to address was the price, I know it's quite a lot, but the cost of goods was really high, they have to use much wider plies and it increases the cost so much. So I was hesitant to even do this board at first because of this. I grew up pretty poor, working in factories to get money for boards and shoes, and I'd always buy stuff that was on sale or blemished, so the idea of a $220 board was a bit much for me at first. I thought about having it as a Heroin web store exclusive and we'd have maybe been able to do a small run and have em at $150 or so, but then I wanted the shops to be able to get some, and be involved, so we off-set the pricing to work with them. Originally we were just going to run 100, but the factory said the minimum was 150, so we went for it. I didn't have any idea that it'd go as wild as it did, we sold the 40 on our site in under one minute. and 100 went to stores and the rest to the team, I barely managed to save one for myself.
So I think it's safe to say that the $220 price ticket didn't scare anyone off.
Secondly I wanted to talk about collectors and re-sellers. I know a lot of the people that got them from our site are already trying to figure out how to get the right trucks to set them up, so it's definitely not just people buying em for wall hangers. I'm okay with whatever people feel like they need to do with something that they own really. Nice to see em get skated though.
Resellers, I don't feel like we have a lot of problems with to be honest. Sure, folks picked up the curb killers a few years back and were trying to flip it for a few hundred bucks profit, but as of right now there's no Eggzillas on Ebay , and the stores are still getting them in, we're still relatively small and under the radar, our audience is a very organic one that have been built up over the years and share a mutual love for the brand, I've been personally trying to connect customers with stores so that they can get one if they need.
I think the edit we put out shows that it's a really fun and functional board in the end, it's a huge challenge to do tricks on, but it's definitely something that people find interesting and want to have a ride of.
I'm glad we did it, I'm glad it sold out so quick and our fans really loved it. Hope you managed to get one if you wanted one. We don't have another run planned or anything, but I'm not opposed to doing something again down the line.
I'm okay with all your opinions too, sure it's not for everyone, but in all honesty I've been running this brand for 25 years and it's always been fun, but right now I'm having more fun with it than ever.
Thanks guys

also a crosspost featuring my newly and more or less accidentally acquired secondary
(https://i.imgur.com/qfs1L2k.jpg)
quasi 9x32 with a 13.75 wb
indy stage 4 151s
formula x 95a 52mm
pepper grip(first time using this, gripping the board was easy and hasslefree)
mini logo bearings for the start since i don't know yet about those wheels
i rode this to work and back and it's so much fun. the stage 4s are very fun to ride, the formula xs perform very good as well. they take the edge of the rougher sidewalk ground, but the board still feels like a skateboard. definitely powerslidable, too, with enough speed. the board is a little weird to me, pretty flat overall, although the tailpocket is comfy, and overall the board is pretty responsive for big setup like this. doesn't really feel as big if it makes sense.
my main setup(not pictured) remains a hockey stain on 149ers with f4 99a 54mm and random bearings. i have another nik stain board as a spare, i like the weird width with the shorther wb
Cross-post from the DLX Shapes-thread:
I've been skating a There deck, the new Chandler Burton 9.0 shape, and I'm really enjoying the longer length and wheelbase. The upcoming graphic is not up my alley, so I'm wondering which other companies use the same shape with BBS wood, DLX or not.
Specs I'm looking for are:
Width: 9.0

Wheelbase: 14.75
I think some BA decks might come close, any other suggestions?

Can’t find it on the There website anymore but I think I remember it saying there that it’s his own shape. I could be mistaken though. Maybe someone else can confirm?[close]
Yeah you're right, but DLX often shares molds between brands, so I was hoping to get lucky. Otherwise I guess I'd have to wait until the next There drop[close]

More often than not to get the right shape was key and graphics could be removed or painted over, although I know it is often just easier to get a good graphic from go.
That actually looks like a good shape too.
On another note, just looking at the website for There and I saw this one, which I hadn't seen before too. Is it the same as the Krooked eyes board that came out a while back? I don't know, but the Krooked board looked a little more square in the tail - never had one or saw one in person though, so I can't compare besides looking at pictures.

Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteCross-post from the DLX Shapes-thread:
I've been skating a There deck, the new Chandler Burton 9.0 shape, and I'm really enjoying the longer length and wheelbase. The upcoming graphic is not up my alley, so I'm wondering which other companies use the same shape with BBS wood, DLX or not.
Specs I'm looking for are:
Width: 9.0
Length: 32.9
Wheelbase: 14.75

I was back in here to say I saw something interesting on the Black Label site, where you can get the can graphic on ANY of their 14 most common shapes, 11 of which are over 9" wide. Too many to list here, but it is well worth a look if anyone wanted a certain shape but was more into a very minimal graphic (or was thinking of blanking the board) then this might work for you.

Black Label should be way more popular than it is. That graphic is sick and they’ve got a ton of interesting shapes. Getting any Black Label boards in Europe is challenging and getting any of these seems pretty much impossible. I’d be happy giving them all my deck money.

yeah a couple years ago they were easier to get. titus, sickboards etc. had them. but seems they all stopped getting them. only sometimes see some old deadstock black label decks, none of the new shapes. i wanna try a tugboat so bad!

Not really willing to spend a shit ton on import taxes just for 1 deck. Still have 2 of them laying around, but I really liked the new graphic so I'm waiting til they start popping up around here sometime. See a lot of EU stores with previous graphics sitting though, so they might be hesitant to order them right now.

i don't think that they will be comming. all the euro stores i know that sell em got the new decks in already, just not the Mutant shape. so guess they didnt order them. like you said its hard to order another one if youre still sitting on the last 4 mutants.. but tbh. don't see those Snot and Paintings ones selling any time soon. god awfull graphics.

Back a year ago I had a shape crisis and couldn't get a hold of any shape that I liked.
So I went back to the mutant cause it is the most reliable.
I am afraid that the shape might be discontinued or hard to get, that's why I started stacking up.

No I am in Europe. So shipping would be enormous to the states
Anyway - I have a question about the shape. The Orange Dead Dave Life has been marked from the sellers all 14.4" WB (this seems off), 14.62" WB, or 14.75" WB...measured and got closer to the 14.75". However the newer versions are all marked 14.6". I know, not a big deal but does anyone know if this orange version comes with a longer WB? I like longer wheelbase and usually I haven't liked under 14.75" WB decks. A few of these are still available around, so might buy and stock 1-2 more...
pretty sure 14.62 is the accurate measurement. and they're all the same wheelbase. but the newest ones are double drilled and have a 14.25 (i think) option.
theres barely a difrence between 14.62 and 14.75

I'm liking this.
This is predominantly my curb board, so Aces with the short wheelbase allows me get quicker and sharper turns when bashing into the curb.
I think 9" Aces would work as the measurements (according to Fos' 9Club) is 9" over the trucks. I used 66s as they were what I had in hand.

Front truck: 9.625"
Back truck: 8.75"
In the past, I've used Thunder 161s and Indy 159s, and I found they both worked well. 8.75" trucks will have an easier turn at the cost of higher wheel bite chance, while the 9" trucks will be more stable and have less wheel bite chance.

Hey, so I tried to repost that “Live” from the other day and it crashed sadly. I’ve picked up all the new boards from Baker Boys now, so I’m measuring em now and I’ll post soon. The pink mutant is 9.5 wide and double drilled so you can have a 14” or a 14.625” WB. The Dead Dave actually came back on a 9.75 mutant this time. Dressen’s egg is 9.75 symmetrical. Space Egg 2 is our 9.4 non symmetrical award winning egg shape.
Official release date for our catalog is July 13th. Baker Boys are starting to ship out to stores from tomorrow though, so I imagine they will be popping up early next week.
Yeah it’s a mutant jr or something I believe?

Glad I have two Dane 1s (with the 14.125 WB) on ice.
I like to think they upped the WB to compete with the Gonz Sweatpants shape. Because the dims are going to be basically identical now.
re: polar shape changes
pontus alv to village psychic:
“As a TM and brand manager, I always ask the riders what kind of shape they want, if they're happy with the sizes and shape. What kind of veneer color do you like? Your favorite veneer color is yellow? Okay, cool. I will put that on your pro model.”
these changes were requested by the riders
Finally got around to setting up this Black Label board I picked up last year.
Normally when setting up a 9", the question is 159s or 169s. But, when I measured, its 8.5" where the axles sit, so I put on some 149s. Forged hollow.
54 F4 99 classics.
So far, it's a lot of fun and I can see myself picking up another of these boards when this one is done.

I downsized from a 9” x 15” wb. It took a few sessions to get used to, but I’m really enjoying it now. The shorter wheelbase really livened up the Aces

Try SeaRat Skateboards. Hand made shapes from San Diego. The Captain Walker XXL shape might be up your alley.
Scram or Assault may work for you.
Dude at the park this morning had an Anti Hero Raney Beres Big Bord https://calsk8.com/products/anti-hero-skateboards-raney-beres-big-bord-big-boys-spoof-pre-book?_pos=1&_sid=d652d5ca3&_ss=r. Got to spend some time on it and absolutely loved it. Fun and comfy as hell for transition, smaller ledges, curbs. For reference I'm a giant and currently skate an orange eagle.
The Big Bord is 10.125" wide with a 15.25" wheelbase and it felt sooooo good. Now I want one, only problems: hate the punk point, and hate the graphic. Been looking everywhere for similar shape and dims, and the closest I can find is the Black Label Lucero cross, only problem is it's sold out everywhere. Any ideas on something similar? Really liked the eggy shape with the fuller tail.
Anti Hero green giant maybe?
I've tried a Winkowsky and didn't dig the weird concave and tail shape, board felt strangely short for a 15"WB.
Grosso maybe? Loooooong but not as wide though, and just kind of looks like a popsicle with square kicks.

For the more accessible boards that you can get again and again, the green giant might be the best one, given you are already familiar with the wood and concave, which stays nice and wide right the way through, fits 169s well, good nose and tail, etc.
I have one and it is huge, so you would definitely enjoy it.
As to others, the Grosso shape tapers a lot, down under 8.5 in the tail so that is often a little detail that makes people not really comfortable on them when they think about the initial 9.25 width.
Black Label are the same wood too (BBS) and more likely to be around some places more than others, given there is a more simple grass roots distribution of their product, but at least to check their online shop for sizes and shapes, then even ask if any shops have ordered any of those boards, either from their contact page or other social media.
https://www.blacklabelskates.com/
I have a few different Label boards and although often not as long overall, they still work really well if you don't mind a decent wheelbase 15" on a more regular length 32 something, while still having a good shape and comfortable concave.
The Lucero Van and Street Thing shape are the most common in that size, but the Lucero cross is definitely even bigger and more beastly than everything else.

Yeah, was definitely looking at some of the Black Labels, shipping from stateside is almost as much as a second deck. There's a shop in Vancouver with a street thing, tempted to give that a try. Rollin in Quebec has a couple green giants on sale, but I'm always leery of sale decks being warped.

As to others, the Grosso shape tapers a lot, down under 8.5 in the tail so that is often a little detail that makes people not really comfortable on them when they think about the initial 9.25 width.
Black Label are the same wood too (BBS) and more likely to be around some places more than others, given there is a more simple grass roots distribution of their product, but at least to check their online shop for sizes and shapes, then even ask if any shops have ordered any of those boards, either from their contact page or other social media.

I have a few different Label boards and although often not as long overall, they still work really well if you don't mind a decent wheelbase 15" on a more regular length 32 something, while still having a good shape and comfortable concave.
The Lucero Van and Street Thing shape are the most common in that size, but the Lucero cross is definitely even bigger and more beastly than everything else.[close]
Great info, thanks!
Yeah, was definitely looking at some of the Black Labels, shipping from stateside is almost as much as a second deck. There's a shop in Vancouver with a street thing, tempted to give that a try. Rollin in Quebec has a couple green giants on sale, but I'm always leery of sale decks being warped.[close]
Doesn’t Skull Skates mostly do 15 or larger on their bigger boards? Seeing as you’re talking about shops in Van, hit up the Hot Shop and they can sort you out[close]
Hmm, I do like some of their shapes for sure, and long wheelbases! Hadn't given Skull much thought in years.
Are Welcome decks BBS? Was eyeing this one https://thedriveshop.ca/collections/decks/products/welcome-deck-brian-lotti-wild-thing-9-6-gaiaExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteDude at the park this morning had an Anti Hero Raney Beres Big Bord https://calsk8.com/products/anti-hero-skateboards-raney-beres-big-bord-big-boys-spoof-pre-book?_pos=1&_sid=d652d5ca3&_ss=r. Got to spend some time on it and absolutely loved it. Fun and comfy as hell for transition, smaller ledges, curbs. For reference I'm a giant and currently skate an orange eagle.
The Big Bord is 10.125" wide with a 15.25" wheelbase and it felt sooooo good. Now I want one, only problems: hate the punk point, and hate the graphic. Been looking everywhere for similar shape and dims, and the closest I can find is the Black Label Lucero cross, only problem is it's sold out everywhere. Any ideas on something similar? Really liked the eggy shape with the fuller tail.
Anti Hero green giant maybe?
I've tried a Winkowsky and didn't dig the weird concave and tail shape, board felt strangely short for a 15"WB.
Grosso maybe? Loooooong but not as wide though, and just kind of looks like a popsicle with square kicks.[close]

I originally got them for a 9” egg but the trucks noticeably stuck out. They’re slightly smaller than the width for this board but it works. 77s would probably stick out a bit.

Is the shape of the Van man the same as the Street Thing? Maybe even the Grosso Butt Head board?
They look pretty much the same, and seem to have the same dimensions on paper, but there is something about the Van Man that seems like it is better.
That is probably just the fact that I have the other two but not the Van Man, when it came out a while back, they sold out almost instantly, but the minimal graphic on a good stain looks so good.

Sweet! Makes me happy then I don't need another board.
Thanks.
i run 169's on my 10" egg. its a magic carpet, but i kidna like that. my friend got one with 215's and i do think maybe it locks better on crooks. but other than that havn't noticed much advantages.
i find myself stuck between wanting way difrent type of shapes all the time. whenever i ride a more 80's type shape i miss the simplicity of an egg, but when i ride an egg i kinda miss seeing some rad fish shape and big square tail.
really craving an 80's style shape again these days but i basicly only skate street/curbs. so that would be the worst decision, tho they can look pretty cool on street aswell.
got that new Snelling Reaper form Blast as a wall hanger but standing on it really temping me.
anyone else have this problem?
(really tho, i should just get a Mutant again..)

Ha yeah, sometimes it can go either way, but I have a couple of the Street Thing decks so I think I am good for those.
After skating a Lucero Cross a few times - other people had them - I am happy to say it is too big for what I would enjoy, but for anyone who wanted a big bigger board, they are perfect, as per the people who got them were stoked on them.
For me, 169s are nice, 215s are too much, so although some boards I have are 10" at the widest point, I would still like boards that can happily fit 169s on them and they feel better under foot like that, so anything that does actually fit the 215s just feels a little too big to be comfortable.
Still doesn't make me want to try them any less, but I know what works and what doesn't, so I leave it at that.

Yeah, quoting my own post, but finally skated this thing today and pretty pumped on it. First shaped deck and took no time to get used to it.
Been mostly skating an orange eagle the last few months, biggest deck I've ever tried, and assumed it was the long wheelbase and width that made me like it better than anything I've had before. Set this deck up at the 14.5"wb holes, and like it more. It's not the length, it's the girth! (That's what she.... nevermind). Absolutely love all the space for my size 14's up front, it's more stable, easier to control and at the same time quicker and less clunky than the eagle.
Only difference from the quoted setup is that I threw on some brand new 56mm F4 Radials with Swiss 6 ball. Really like them as well, less clunky than the conical fulls. Trying to keep the setup a bit lighter.
Wide decks are the way, but also nice to find out that I wasn't bothered at all by a 14.5wb. Opens up a lot more choices.

That shape is so good too - just big and comfortable, when compared to a few other boards I have, where certain tapers (like the Grosso shape) or shorter wheelbases (like the Polar Dane 1) just don't work so well for me, even though I know other people who love them for what they are.

Highly recommend the Antihero Genius shape. It's like a zip zinger for people who like wide boards. 9.18" with a 14.25" WB. Rides more like a 8.75". You can use 8.5" axles with big wide cruiser wheels or 8.75" axles with regular width wheels. Somewhat like the Polar Surf shapes but the nose is a little longer and it has a nicer curvier outline.

Dane1's have a small wheelbase, so if that's not your cup of tea, I would recommend the Krooked Sweatpants shape (posted above on this page). The shape is similair, but the wheelbase is 14.38 compared to the new 14.1 wb of the Dane1. The old Dane decks are really similair though. Currently riding the Ronnie Sandoval graphic and I like it so far, although it feels a bit small compared to the 10" Heroin Mutants I've been riding before this.

Alright... It was a gradual process to get to this point hahaha...Do I get wheel bite? Yes... But I'm so much more comfortable with the setup and I have no plans to change anything. The only thing that I did change is running my front truck closer to even tension with the rear. I always ran my front a half turn looser than my rear, but I feel like with the current bushing setup I was too close to full-on e brake wheel bite if I came out of some trucks with too much weight on my front foot. It's a solid setup for skating bowls, but I skated a vert ramp for the first time in a while this past weekend and the setup worked out way better than I thought it would.
- Iteration 1: stock AF1 top / bottom with the bottom trimmed to 12mm to match the top (both with washers). This gave me the tension I wanted out of the trucks with still getting full contact with the nut on the kingpin. This also got rid of the top washer "click" you get from AF1's since it slightly changed the geometry.
- Iteration 2: stock AF1 tops as top / bottom (both with washers). This kept the tension of the 1st iteration but gave a bit more of a surfy turn from running duel conical shape bushings since you get more give from the conical shape than you do from the cylinder shape.
- Iteration 3: stock AF1 top / stock Classic top as bottom (top washer only). A friend sent me the Classic tops with no washers and I put them on to see if the slightly different shape would offer any difference in feel since the Classic has a less harsh taper to the shape of the bushing. Since the bottom wishers are gone, they're a bit looser... but since the bottom tapers less it mushes out less. It took me about 2 sessions to fully acclimate, but for some bizarre reason, it made some tricks feel way more fluid for me (especially front rocks).
Ronnie Sandoval is running a similar setup, but it's conceptually more wild (Ace Classic's which are 1mm lower than AF1's, a Classic top bushing with no washer as a bottom, and a Thunder top bushing which is 10mm so he has 2mm more wiggle room).

I’m actually looking at going to ace hards or riding Indy’s due to the vague center on Classics. Feel is so subjective!
Of course, most of my gear “woes” have to do with gaining 20lbs this year - my muscle memory is off and I’m trying to fix it in my setup. I’ve tried everything but diet and exercise
Y'all are wild with your wiggly trucks, can't imagine... props for making it work for you!
I'm over here with my Ace hards and Indy blacks, way too scared of wheelbite carving out of a tight corner in the bowl or something... I also hate that wobble when you compress at the bottom of the transition with loose trucks. Probably just need to get better at skating.

I'm around 140 lbs at the moment, am on the shorter side at 5' 6", and have permanent nerve damage in my legs and feet from an old back injury and I've found that the looser trucks make my board feel like it responds a bit more intuitively. I would guess the added twitchiness compensates for my legs firing a bit slower. I also feel like the wheel bonk on coping for stuff like lien tails and the pinch for grinds locks in a bit better for me. It's 100% subjective and needs to be fine-tuned to your build, what you skate, and your trick selection. I'm just stoked that after 2 years of full-blown setup madness that I cracked the code on what works best for me lol

That makes a lot if sense, and is an important distinction. Weight and physical proportions would have a huge affect on how trucks react. I'm excessively tall and weigh 70lbs more with huge feet, I'm probably putting double the force to the rails when I dig in.

i'm the opposite. i'm a fatass but i think most people's boards turn like shit. i don't like having to dig in at all. i wanna turn just moving a toe.
tho it's definitly not the best for me to ride as loose. but it is the most fun for me.

Anybody know how wide the black label tugboat is over the trucks?

Trucks are definitely too small (width across bolt holes measure about 9") but it was all I had at the moment, so I'm going to run with it today and most likely going to swap them out for Thunder Hollow Lights 161s when I get home. But hey, maybe it'll work out.

I'm curious to try a true "pig" shaped deck that's a 10-incher with the classic no nose and little to no concave. I can't really afford to get trucks as well though, and I currently have Indy 159's. Anyone with experience on that type of shape know if they'll magic carpet way too much in the back? Seems like the front it would be fine.
This is the way. 60mm Winowski's no risers. Might go 55mm shortly to try out.

I do 169 Indy on my Dane 1 and I feel like it is the perfect truck for it. For Ace I would go Classic 66.
I run 3 mm riser and 56 mm Dragons and it’s such a fun all around set up minus flip tricks which I have retired from.

they generally taper to a 9" tail. so theyre not crazy wide over the back truck.
back then trucks wern't as wide either. they used to run pretty small trucks with some mini cubics or whatever on em since those weels are offset as hell.
but, if youre looking at a powell pig be warned they use the oldschool bolt patern, so you'd need 6 hole baseplates.
anyo ther brand should be fine.

It's a Scram and I went and got it from the local today and ended up fucking hating it. Since it's so flat even with 1/4" risers the wheelbite is so bad it tossed me multiple times and then one time when I went to ollie my foot just slid right off the board and I almost credit carded myself. I barely lasted a session with it. Sometimes madness pays off when you wanna try something new, other times it doesn't.

I always though Tom Knox was a great skateboarder and had cool boards but his personality man…I got it for the shape not for the name on the board. Great shape it seems from the limited 30 minute sesh I had on it. I really never paid attention to Knox though, so I have no clue about the personality.

The most frustrating thing about that is although you don't need graphics, sometimes the shop will have sales or discounts, which might bring the board down to a more medium price, free shipping, free grip, but from the BBS / Generator online site, you have to buy your own grip and pay for shipping, so depending on where you are or how many of them you get, it can work out nicely or it can work out to be much the same after all that.
Just another option anyway, so at least you know what is there, if nothing else, they should always be in stock, by the look of things.

no pic but I picked up a madness pelka blunt. I really like it so far, but the ace 66 with 58mm spitfire conical full makes the rear stick out a little which I do not like. I'll learn to live with it I guess. I'm thinking of snagging the Losi guest model since I do prefer a little more nose on a board. At this point I've just been looking at decks in the 9.5" and up range. My son has taken my loveseat as his own pretty much, and now when I step on it it feels small as can be. Variety being the spice of life, I'd like to be used to switching from a larger board to a smaller one and vice versa with as little getting used-to-it period as possible. What i lack in ability I can make up for with variety of deck excuses maybe.

I've seen that site before, it's not a scam? Zero google search results for reviews and it's young site. $26 per deck is unreal.
It's legit, it's a site that sells boards directly from BBS/Generator. I'm sure part of why it's a simple unrecognizable site is they don't want their reputation to take a hit for selling blanks.

Cross post from the egg thread.
Won this deck in a raffle Fos put on a month or 2 ago. Gave me an excuse to get some Ace 77s and set up a Christmas complete.
Took this out for a curb session later in the day and the 10” egg is wild! I usually run the 9.4 and this is so much bigger. Also had to get adjusted to Aces as I’ve only run Indys for the last 3 decades.
This thing is a boat but it’s a blast.

A friend of mine skated this shape for a few years and had it set up on 215's and I loved it, so I went with 80's on mine and could not be happier. That said, if you'd want to go smaller than a 10" hanger AF1 77's would probably fit way better than 66's unless you're after a hoverboard setup. The thing I would personally find weird with a hanger smaller than 10" would be you have so much meat in the center of the board that locking in on a smith or feeble with a smaller truck would probably feel super weird. With the 10's I can lock in and sit in smiths really well which makes it super fun for me (since thats one of like 5 tricks I do anymore hahaha).
As far as the nose, I can do crooks on a quarter, nose stall reverts and most of my grab tricks (tail blocks & crails) feel fine... So I'd say it's a useable nose. I'd consider the shape "pig adjacent", but I don't feel like my foot is going to fly off which is one of my biggest complaints about skating pig shapes.
My biggest complaint is adjusting to the weight when going to pop the board into my hand for tricks like bean or texas plants, but its not a deal breaker and I honestly think this is going to become my daily driver for bowls since I'm having a blast with how well the 10" trucks lock in on grinds.
The clips linked are from the first time skating the bowl on it and I pretty quickly adapted to it since the wheelbase is pretty much the same as the Sweatpants shape I've been on for the past 6 months.

Nice clip! Thanks for the reply as well. I think I'm going to grab this deck. I hear you with pig shapes and losing the front foot. Years ago skating kona I was on a board without a nose and took a pretty bad spill in the j-run because a lose the front foot off the nose trying to ollie on the inside curve and lost so much skin off my hand when I came down because it was such rough concrete in there at that time.

I was thinking it had a massive taper to the back, so when I was looking at it, I put it back as it was just too narrow at the back for anything I wanted to run on it, but I am sure you can put those 169s on it without too much trouble.
That said, I am sure some people would be happy with anything on it and there have been a few on here in the past, although I can't find any from basic searches. I didn't go looking page by page.

For sure!
As much as I think Black Label is awesome, the Sweatpants shape might well be the better of the two, but that is just me - prefer a little more width right through the board and less taper.
Sweatpants just sits better to me with something like 9.1 at front and 8.8 at back, so it works well on 169s for me too. I got a few and between that and the Black Label Street Thing / Van man board shape, those two are loads of fun and work really well in that category of board.
I know @Mbrimson88 isnt in the states but if you guys are you may want to check out Motuary Skates. One of Gurneys shapes is like a cross between a Sweatpants and Manvan(or Street thing same shape).

Any folks riding 10” trucks find locking in hard? Talking about transition, mainly. My 10” trucks have the heelside groove in the same place as all my 9” trucks. BS lock in feels vague, but when I shift so the heel wheel is tight to the coping, I bail. I don’t know if it’s a muscle memory thing or a physics thing where the wheels are just too far out from the centerline to make locking in practical or possible.

I actually prefer the lock-in on 10" trucks. It took about 20-30 minutes on the first day to fully acclimate to pushing all the way into and out of grinds, but once I got the feel for it I've had no issue locking up against my wheel. The added hanger room and board width made smiths feel way better and more controlled for me as well, especially for FS tail grab or seatbelt smiths.

I know @Mbrimson88 isnt in the states but if you guys are you may want to check out Motuary Skates. One of Gurneys shapes is like a cross between a Sweatpants and Manvan(or Street thing same shape).[close]
That does look like a good one too.
Still PS Stix for wood? That's what I had it as for the woodshop listing.
Some people who are not too fond of BBS might prefer that one as well, just as another option.

I can only see 9.625 as width, so what are the other dimensions on that board?

ugh so I picked up this scram and it's a 9.5 so I'm thinking my 169s will fit perfect, alas I didn't realize the back tapers down to an 8.75. and I HATE seeing my wheels. I'm still putting off setting it up til I have some cool shit for a grip job, and just praying it will miraculously get wider and fit my trucks. if not then 166s here I come I guess...

Appreciate the heads up homie but nah I gave up trying to find a wide boy. I just snagged a generator gfb 9.1 symmetrical egg (twin tail) from skate samples instead since I'm a bit short on cash and it's been tough to find wide boiz. I still think heroin boards are awesome, but I just don't have the money right now since they're pretty pricey (especially with shipping across the US).
I saw that the stingee thingee from heroin is on sale at skate warehouse though. Anybody try this shape? I think the nose portion is from a 10" egg and the tail is from their symmetrical shovel (9.5"?). Pretty wacky lookin shape but I do like the graphic
Setting up the zogger. Decided on the smaller trucks, Ace 66. Lil jawns rails, and bones x97 55mm wheels. Haven't put it together just yet since the rails I laid on are too low profile. Just waiting on the mail to get here for the standard rails.

I’m assuming they are. That’s from their first run. I’ll try to get the rest of the dims tomorrow or this weekend.
Wanted to refresh my cruiser set up with just the bushings but realized I wasn't crazy about the Crail shape (Burly - punk nose tip one) i had. That long fingers of flat + steep tail thing + lack of concave at kicks (BBS usually has this and I love it) was fucking odd on Indys.
Naturally, I bought a new deck/grip and gave myself an excuse to use some 159s I bought last year instead of using the 149s I had since the 159s seem to fit better. Minor hotrodding in back but not terrible.

I have a Stingee Thingee on Ace Classic 66s. Doesn’t hot rod in the back and doesn’t feel too much like a magic carpet in the front. 169s might work but 55s seem like they’d be too small.

Don't skate a whole bunch anymore, I want to have something to roll about on at the beach front, Ollie's, no complys, curbs (Ray Barbee/Rubber boys) . I've got a regular 8.5" setup so can go wild.
Would an 80s no nose be a terrible idea? Love to hear some suggestions.[close]
Anti-Hero Yellow Eagle - Beach Bum shape
Polar Dane 1 Shape
Krooked Sweatpants Shape
Any of those decks with a softer wheel like a Bones Dragon 93a would make for a fun cruiser/curb/fuck around board[close][close]
Dane1's have a small wheelbase, so if that's not your cup of tea, I would recommend the Krooked Sweatpants shape (posted above on this page). The shape is similair, but the wheelbase is 14.38 compared to the new 14.1 wb of the Dane1. The old Dane decks are really similair though. Currently riding the Ronnie Sandoval graphic and I like it so far, although it feels a bit small compared to the 10" Heroin Mutants I've been riding before this.[close]
A few pages back I think someone mentioned the new Dane1 decks are being bumped up to a 14.38”wb which will make it the same as the Krooked shape.[close]
Yeah, you're right. I mixed them up and thought it became smaller.
I just remeasured the 2 that I have on ice and if measuring middle hole to middle hole it's 14" and then top to bottom it's 14.125. Polar is so weird about this.
These dropped today and look pretty sick. BBS wood, cool retro eggish shape, wheel wells and iconic art.

Already sold out. Never mind, I guess.
I have a pink one on the way, pretty hyped. I was initially going to re-drill the front truck for a shorter WB and a little bit of a longer nose. But I guess that would defeat the point of the wheel wells.

I got 8.80 so I figured just less than a quarter inch of axle is pretty normal. AF1 60s would probably set it up to be pretty flippy and still bring the wheelbase in overall.

What what did you come up with as far as width over the back truck? I’ve been thinking about what trucks it’ll get.
And at this point I’m pretty committed to redrilling it 3/8” with a Chems. I know I’ll lose the benefit of the front wheel wells but the revised specs will work better for me.

i have sworn off shaped boards, but very early in my skate life i had an airborne (zorlac sister co), and then a bryce kanights (looked, from memory, like the sweatpants shape, sorta). anyways, whenever i’m doing really bad, i want to set up a shaped board and then push around. unfortunately i end up immediately just trying to nollie flip or something dumb and get bummed.

That's a sick shape. Would be amazing with wheel wells. I'll look out for them. At this point I'm set on Stage 4's over Ace and they fit this deck super well. I found Stage 4 166's max out at 9.75" - my new Scram is too much of a magic carpet which I'm bummed over.

If any industry people are lurking here, I’m for hire.
But let’s get back to the big boards. I realistically don’t know how much I’ll ride the Scram outside of big transition.
I’ve got some more big boys ready to go that I’ll share once my black widow is done.
I've skated this maybe twice in the last few months. Lost my job and weirdly that has left me less time to do the skate. I'm also what you'd call a beginner even though I start skating in the 90s and I always feel self conscious in front of people especially going to a new park. Anyway got over myself and went to the amazing indoor park near me for the first time https://f51.co.uk/
Rode my Dane 1 with Ace classic 55s, F4 99a 53ish
I've always preferred a tighter truck, but these ACEs are loose in such a good way, I am a convert. Had a great time bombing around doing kick turns, and other basic stuff :)

You ride the 56s without risers? How's the wheelbite with the Aces? Currently skating the same setup but with 54mm Conicals instead. I've been looking to get either 54 or 56 Radials as I skate a lot of crusty spots, but I don't really wanna mess around with risers.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention I have Real 3-ply risers on there to alleviate wheelbite. That plus a bit of wax on the areas of contact seems to do the trick, but I have always had a problem with wheelbite, even with smaller wheels/less swervy truck combos.Expand Quote

i'm gonna chime in here because I ride ace 55 on 56mm wheels as well on one of my setups, also ace af1 60 on another setup with 56mm wheels. I don't have a problem with wheelbite, and I keep the aces completely stock, no kingpin adjustment. I'm just around 175lb for reference. Obviously the wheels do hit the board but I've never had any issues with total wheelbite to where I stop moving at all. 56mm wheels have been my standard for close to 25 years now as well. I deviate a little from time to time, but usually come back to that size. I also ride an array of trucks and have never had an issue with wheelbite being so distracting that i've thought to put risers on at 56mm. At 57-58mm is where I toss on some risers, but even then if I sand out some wheel wells, i'll remove the risers.

Took her out on her maiden voyage today, skated a dream on a smooth park. Felt very comfy underfoot, a good combo all round. Wheels slide nicely with just a hint of gumminess, but still fast.

This bigger set up is supposedly my transition ‘retirement’ board, as my knee is completely fucked after several surgeries and 35 years of skating, and I don’t want to feel tempted to ollie into stuff so much. Mind you, I recall a similar ‘retirement’ set up in the early ‘00s when I stepped up to an 8 inch board with indys - denial!Sick back tail, wish I could!!Expand QuoteOh yes, I forgot to mention I have Real 3-ply risers on there to alleviate wheelbite.

You ride the 56s without risers? How's the wheelbite with the Aces? Currently skating the same setup but with 54mm Conicals instead. I've been looking to get either 54 or 56 Radials as I skate a lot of crusty spots, but I don't really wanna mess around with risers.[close]
i'm gonna chime in here because I ride ace 55 on 56mm wheels as well on one of my setups, also ace af1 60 on another setup with 56mm wheels. I don't have a problem with wheelbite, and I keep the aces completely stock, no kingpin adjustment. I'm just around 175lb for reference. Obviously the wheels do hit the board but I've never had any issues with total wheelbite to where I stop moving at all. 56mm wheels have been my standard for close to 25 years now as well. I deviate a little from time to time, but usually come back to that size. I also ride an array of trucks and have never had an issue with wheelbite being so distracting that i've thought to put risers on at 56mm. At 57-58mm is where I toss on some risers, but even then if I sand out some wheel wells, i'll remove the risers.[close]
Took her out on her maiden voyage today, skated a dream on a smooth park. Felt very comfy underfoot, a good combo all round. Wheels slide nicely with just a hint of gumminess, but still fast.

Over the past year I found myself skating harder at 49 and worked on a video part all summer and early fall skating smaller boards. But pushed myself too hard and had a knee injury, been rehabbing for a bit so I went back to a 9 and feels great.

I use the footprint kingfoam orthotic, gives me the most impact protection and it doesn’t make them feel too thick.
I prefer the polar 9, almost the same shape as this black label. Nice full nose and tail. Almost a twin. The limo 9 is a traditional BBS 9 with a long wb(15) which is not for me and my stubby legs. If you are 6’1 or taller and want a longer board go with that.

Rails rule for long board slides on a nice double sided curb and combos, also fun for feebles and boardslides on coping.
Takes a little bit to get adjusted but just one fun day to be hooked.

He had it on 9 inch aces and to be honest it didn’t feel very good to ride, when I set it up on these super wide Indy’s it was like night and day tho…
the tail fans back out to 10 and the front truck is really wide too so the 215 feel stable and it’s a very slash grind kinda surfy board
Cause the tail is so long you kinda have to ride back foot pocket or you’re just manualing out of everything but the crouched stance it forces you into feels really good it kinda forces you to have better style
It Ollie’s and shit too like you can do a kickflip on it if you wanna

tried ot this Blast deck i skated about a year ago but couln't get used to. i wish i liked the shape cause Blast keeps doing this shape with lots of cool graphics, and on paper the specs should be good.DIY painted baseplates? If so, what'd you use?
(https://i.postimg.cc/NjHfFCWg/blast1.png)
its hard to see in pictures but when you choose the shorter wheelbase option, that should give you a normal sized nose, the nose goes up really late still making the nose look and feel a lot smaller than the tail. but more importantly it gives you way too much flat, and that completely fucks up my board feel as i cant tell by my concave where my truck should be.
while somehow this deck is the best deck i've ever had for slappy crooks, got the perfect pinch. i just cant slappy 50 on this consistently. and doing combos is even harder as i cant really judge where my truck is i guess. if that makes any sense.
it also sometimes happens that i accidentially stand beyond the tipping point when i wanna pusd and thats just embarrasing.

just normal spraypaint. white basecoat and neon pink and green after. it's nothing special. chips off a little at stress points like the pivot cup and mounting holes. but other than that stays on fine.
it was indeed inspired by those Film trucks who have those colored baseplates, aswell as my friend Daisuke from Tokyo who allways paints his hangers different neon colors. i think he got that idea from Craig Questions, but not sure.

it definitely is working how I wanted it to. My whole foot can be on the nose or tail when sliding and it's not dragging on the curb!
That thing looks amazing!!!
Attention to detail and changing it up so it works for you is so good there.
That’s a beautiful board. Where can I buy ?

It's the same 9-inch shape that DLX uses across all its brands, I believe.
I'm hyped because I've never actually skated one of Gonz's models, and I'm also trying out a deck with wheel wells for the first time. Also because it's a brand I support and it's a popsicle instead of shaped. Personally not feeling shaped decks these days.
I skated it a bit earlier, it feels good. Running the same Independent 169s and Santa Cruz 97a Slimeballs. Grip is Mob, not sure about the bearings.

this setups looks really fun. the 9” polar shape looks fantastic: i’ve pulled it off the shelf multiple times to ogle it.
that setup does look like it flatgrounds.
I just got run over by a car while bombing a hill. I was for 3 weeks in the hospital asleep for 2. Anyway it was a perfect moment to set up this Krooked board that I bought since 2022 with @Freelancevagrant at Austin. The only thing is that I got to take the wheel at the front since it got all the way there while being run by the car.

So far I'm really liking the 161's after skating 169 Indy's on this shape before, it's a lot lighter and my pop is a lot snappier. I prefer the slower turn and stability on the bigger trucks vs magic carpeting but to each his own.

I'm a bigger guy (6'3/210/Size 13) so it feels really comfortable on flat ground to me. After skating the Heroin Mutant shape for awhile, it feels good to 360 flip and hard flip again haha.
I just got run over by a car while bombing a hill. I was for 3 weeks in the hospital asleep for 2. Anyway it was a perfect moment to set up this Krooked board that I bought since 2022 with @Freelancevagrant at Austin. The only thing is that I got to take the wheel at the front since it got all the way there while being run by the car.

Yeah looks like a Boline 2
Yeah looking at the more popular egg shapes in the shop I was put off by the tiny tail! This shape looks more proportional, and it feels totally at home under my feet. I might be wrong but it seems very similar to the Cardiel egg?
The thing that stood out to me about the Huffer was that it was kind of an upside down egg. Most of the egg shapes you see are the aforementioned pinner tail and then the round nose. The Huffer doesn't feel exactly inverted but there's more going on in the tail than usual and then the nose is kinda pointy, which is why I think it flips so well.Expand QuoteYeah looking at the more popular egg shapes in the shop I was put off by the tiny tail!

Ha yeah, I wasn't going to say it, but the Huffer shape - AH Cardiel board - is a good one and maybe the only other one I have felt comfortable on, with the size, width and length of the tail.
I haven't seen the Black Label one when it came out but others had it and said it was good too.

That 0.125” is about half the width of a standard pencil eraser so I reckon you’ll be alright. I say this from a place of love as someone who has also overthought truck width down to the millimeter.

just set this up. Got it from that samples site. 9.125"x short" with short nose and tail. Symmetrical shape really works well I think.

Looks good any which way.
Re Indy trucks, one pic of the baseplate, pivot cup end, on an angle showing the hanger and I can tell you exactly what they are.
Looking at the pic, most likely Stage 9 (which had single cross and two holes in the middle of the baseplate) or early Stage 10 (also single cross on a solid baseplate, no holes) both with what was at the time a more bulky looking 166 hanger.

Just to clarify on the Dane1 wheelbase update; I don't think any 14.38wbs made it out to market yet and this is maybe why there aren't any in this latest drop. My guess is they are trying to sell through the old shape? The first and only one to drop after the update was announced was an Oski Dane1 that I saw on a bunch of sites listed as 14.38 but never saw one in person. Here's a clear pic from Tactics with a Polar label listing the old wheelbase:
https://www.tactics.com/a/eo5q/1b/polar-skate-co-rozenberg-west-harbor-975-dane-1-shape-skateboard-deck.webp
I don't think the actual shape ever got updated and the Polar site was probably updated too early as all the Dane1's that have been released are labeled 14.125. Every thing that is out there now is still the old shape.
I have tall guy with short legs problems so it's pretty perfect for me. My one complaint would be that the nose is just long enough and could maybe even be slightly longer or fuller. So my thinking is with them extending out the wheelbase is that they take the quarter inch from the already short nose. At that point you might as well roll the dice and make the Dane2 and see if it catches on.

I’ve done the occasional 8.75 pop and sometimes a cruiser but I find it just distracts from skateboarding for me
These are both “all purpose” but I favor the scram for steep transition and DIY and the fixer as my ‘normal’ skateboard
Anyone else only have 9+

One of my favorite shapes/sizes. I've been skating a Bannerot board as my secondary/curb board for about a year and I've been meaning to grab another one. As far as skating it, It looks like a lot of board under your feet but the concave and short WB feels more like a popsicle than a typical shaped board.

Running a very similar setup other than the wheels (might I suggest some x97s or F4 97 Radial Fulls?), such a fun ride. Find myself reaching for it way more often than my “normal” board. Enjoy it!

Where can I get a 10" popsicle? 33" length or more
Heroins have too small a wheelbase. I want at least 15" wheelbase and 33" length, solid nose and tail.
Everything else is old school with tiny / pointy nose.
Closest i can seem to find is the Moose 10x33 blank. Concave seems good but the nose is shorter and pointier than I'd like. Is nobody making 10" popsicles anymore?

That is so good, even a 9" wide board, or 9.5" and then the 10" and 10.25" boards as you said.
Some people here in Australia are always looking for and asking about wider boards, but there are just none around like that.
Passing on details to them, but to be fair, I think it is just not worth the effort to ship boards half way round the world, no matter how many, unless it is in a wholesale order type of thing, which no one here is about to do.
The shipping usually costs more than the board and the people who often ask about it are not the most cashed up individuals at the best of times either.

I'm about 99% sure this is the GS5, tactics uses BBS for their shop decks and the measurements line up. Hope this helps. Looks to be about 8.5 over back and 8.75 over front bolts.
I was on a trip with some English dudes and one of the guys was riding 215s on his Heroin Mutant board.
I was really intrigued and set up a second mutant with some 215s and had one of the best miniram sessions of my life on it.
Maybe it was a combination of new wheels and bearings and the big trucks but I haven't felt this smooth and confident on my board for a long time.
Also somehow I find that the material of the Indy's grind a lot smoother than the Ace classics that I had for years now.
I will definitely switch to the 215s, even had a short session on the ledge and flatbar yesterday and it felt really good.

New sled.

Had my first sesh on it the other day. Took a bit of getting used to but loving it so far. Nose is a little tricky but managed a few crooks and noseslides so I’m happy. Something about seeing it underfoot just brings a smile on my face so. Happy with it.

Congrats, Scram’s giant popsicles look really fun.
Go Ace, or the 10” Slappy model. From my last experience on 215s, they’re much floppier in their turn than any of the smaller sizes and feel a little dead overall. Haven’t ridden Ace 80s but have a set of hollow 77s that are prime time, so I’d be willing to go out on a limb and say the extra half inch won’t mess anything up too bad.
i set up a 9.4 Space Egg.
i was looking for one a while ago and coulnt find it. so i coulnt help but get it when my local suddenly got one. the smallest board i've skated in the last 4 years. but its great fun. put on my old worn down OG classics again. i set up some bigger wheels before i went to japan last month, and i regretted it the whole trip. i dont think i can do over 50mm anymore..
no risers to make up for the tiny tail. but still it messes with me how short these tails are. i know i can get used to it cause i did on my old curbkillers too. but damn.
also no rails. maybe i'll put them on later if i miss them.

48ish mm F4 OG classics (used to be 55)
crosspost from the egg thread. been thinking of downsizing since last winter when i set up a old 9.5 for a fiew sessions and liking it.Expand Quotei set up a 9.4 Space Egg.
i was looking for one a while ago and coulnt find it. so i coulnt help but get it when my local suddenly got one. the smallest board i've skated in the last 4 years. but its great fun. put on my old worn down OG classics again. i set up some bigger wheels before i went to japan last month, and i regretted it the whole trip. i dont think i can do over 50mm anymore..

Beautiful. Grips great also.
I scored some stage 7 215's on eBay that are brand new, only used on a wall mounted board. Finding a deck where these gigantic things will fit that has a short wheelbase has been hard. Can anyone help me out with some links? I hate hot rodding so I don't want them sticking out past the deck at all, either.

That purple top ply is so good, never seen this shade of purple before, only the more black/grey-ish ply BBS uses.

Heroin Wideboy (10.75” egg, 10.3 over the trucks) and Anatomy of a Wideboy (10.4” Egg, 10” over the trucks) both have nice tidy wheelbases around 14.25-14.3. I know people have run 215s on the Dead Dave mutant shape, but I think that’d hot rod too much for your liking.
Scram has big popsicles but all have 15” wheelbases I think. Maybe something from Sea Rat or Pete’s Pigs?

Thanks man, I'm thinking the 10.4 anatomy of a wideboy is the best choice. My only issue is...once I put some wheels on these 215's they just look disgustingly wide. I almost can't handle it lol.
