I'm kind of the opposite. I do get nostalgic for old boards I had in my youth and a lot of those are coming back out fairly close to the original size and shape (I'm really old so we're talking 10" wide boards with no nose), but I don't skate that size anymore. I skate an 8.25 popsicle now. I wish when they release a deck in the classic shape and graphic, that they'd release some modern popsicle shapes with the graphic as well.
Santa Cruz just released the street creep graphic on a popsicle shape and I'm stoked! I had two of those decks back in the day in the original shape and loved that board (but mostly for the design). Now I can get one in a shape I currently skate!
I do too but sadly no one is doing any New Deal re-issues yet
Santa Cruz, love'em or hate'em is starting to brig back og graphics and slap them on pops; Salba tiger/girl, Knox firepit, street creep, JJ (yeah yeah); they need to get on with the roskopps already. Vision (
http://www.selectsk8.com/vision/) is also doing it, they've a few OG gonz pops out now.
I'm riding the Street Creep popsicle right now and it's
fucking great (I rode a few of them in a row back in the day, all natural wood grain). Haters gonna hate but the 'wide' tip shape is easily the best 'full' shape I've ridden, especially the tail, I had to scrape a bolt so I know which is the nose/tail. I'm going to start stocking up on them when I can (they have a mint/black colorway in that shape as well).
Also, I saw on instagram a lot of people pissed at buying h-st Hensley re-issues and the shape and concave was nothing like the original.
I was lucky enough to A) have ridden a shit ton of the OGs (I learned impossibles on them) and B) stood on the reissue; I didn't buy one.
It's too bad they don't do a 'modern' style of the OG shapes...scale down the exaggerated dims of the shape and lengthen the noses.
