DLX easy rider boards
« on: April 01, 2024, 08:13:08 AM »
If you’re like me then you’ve been stoked on these for a bit - hopefully they’ll start popping up online today, and I just wanted to start a thread to share info once we get our hands on them.

The 8.25 with the 14” wheelbase is calling me loudly and I can’t wait to hop on one!

I like how the trucks are centered over the wb and how the kicks are the same steepness. Nice long nose and tail. I could definitely see myself enjoying this board.

so close to be a twin tail. if they were in turkey, i could do the same thing that i did with the mini logos. i bought 2 mini logo 8.25 decks, gave it to a carpenter friend, he sanded down the noses, they were twin tail after that.

This is a good idea, the 8.25 mini logo is a great deck, just a little too long

they probably wont release em in 9 or wider
i might try 8.75 if they make one
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

I thought I saw somewhere that it's only 8.25 and 8.5 in this first drop. But if they ever do release an 8.75 i'm all-in

Love the concept, hopefully these are successful and they branch out with more sizes. I’d love an 8.6 with 14”wb for my clown feet.

Love the idea but also concerned by flattening the curve where they have,  will lead to increased wheel bite. seems best for a small wheel tech setups, which I suppose is the intention.

.

As I posted in the DLX shapes thread:


To add to that, I just noticed DLX posted this, which has the board pics and info.

Sparkle eagles in 8.38 and 8.5 shapes

Real ovals in 8.25 and 8.5 shapes


The most interesting thing is that the kicks are not mellow, the angle of the kicks still pretty medium (which I find steep) but the side to side concave is less, among other things.


Text from that post:


More than just mellower - Easy Riders - heading to your local shop today.

Introducing a new, relaxed, comfy, concave designed for a full-board feel, quick, responsive pop, and more control. Team and @bendegros approved. Quality Guaranteed.

@realskateboards 8.25” x 32.07” - 14” WB & 8.5” x 31.8” - 14.25” WB

@antihero18 8.38” x 32.25” - 14.5” WB & 8.5” x 31.8” - 14.25” WB





I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Lou posted info here, on the most recent page of the DLX shapes thread:

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=85076.msg4182629#msg4182629


Then this review of them to add here too:



Saw they are available for shops to order today.
Got one a little early and reviewed it. Apologies if too long winded and redundant .

Just saw these and I love the shapes and more mellow concave so much! I guess it took Ben Degros to get DLX to make a deck I'd actually want to skate. Ben if you see this, thanks so much for your efforts in getting these made!
