Wow. That looks so tight. I would scour ebay for some old ventures to complete the nostalgic vibe though. They're still out there.

Trust me I tried but I live in the U.K. and I couldn't find any with a hanger wide enough for this deck. I'm meeting a Slap pal in an hour or so to have my first roll back in time.

Skated it tonight and it was super fun. The shape feels like an 8.25 or even slightly smaller because of the taper. The spot was smooth so the smaller wheels weren't a problem but your timing on Ollie's and flip tricks take a little adjustment. It takes a few minutes but there is no lack of pop. Grinding is weird at first because you don't really lock in with wide hangers and tiny wheels but you get used to it and it's damn fun.  I like this shape so much I think I'm going to get another and set it up as my regular set up.

I've heard of guys re drilling boards, couldn't tell you how well it worked. But as long as you line up all your holes it shouldnt be too difficult

i hate dumbass responses like this .. i was just thinking how everyone was talking shit on a prime setup i posted and for good reason because it was an 8.25 x 32 with a 14.75 wheelbase and i absolutely hated it at first but got used to it and had fun with it .. but it had me thinking what if i just moved my trucks down .. i didn't end up doing it but had me thinking maybe someone out there has tinkered around with this kind of issue

yeah if I'm not feeling the wheelbase I re-drill it if I feel like it. It probably seems a lot harder than it actually is. I just line it up with a set of base plates to make sure it's perfect. You'd have to be blind or astonishingly bad with a drill to fuck it up.

Haven't done it in years but I for sure want to if I get a board with too small a tail or too long a wheelsbase.

I've done it a few times over the years, I wanted to skate a grosso so i took a 6 hole indy baseplate and used the top hole to mount it and redrilled it through the other 4 holes, moving the wheelbase about 3/8 back. It's kind of stressful, but not too hard to do.
Seems like you can find the dimensions you think work best if you look hard enough, so prob not really warranted.

I redrilled the back truck holes of an Organika board about 3 years ago. The tail was SUPER tiny. No shit it was barely 6 inches long. And it was an 8.25 board. Just very odd specs. Anyway, I redrilled the back trucks forward to give myself at least half inch more on the tail and it felt even worse. So, to 144p's point, he is dead on. There's just way too much stuff available to go through the shenanigans of re-drilling.

As an aside, I never bought another Kayo board after that.

UNIQLO is H&M with non of the copy right infringement or art stealing. Prices are reasonable (KAWS shirt for 14.99 when a similar shirt was 60$ at the art museum). They do cool collabs. Better graphic tee's than target in both style and quality. I can get Japanese/anime shit from them. Great sales.

About to give this bad boi a whirl.

-Quasi Metalhead 8.5x33
-Indy 149's
-Reynolds Formula Four 54 mm
-Bones Reds

Does the Quasi 8.5x33 have a square nose/tail like their other 8.5 and 8.25 size?  I love the nose and tails on those but the wheelbase is a little cramped.

Slightly less square but still very full.  wheelbase on the 33" is 14.5" compared to 14.25" on the shorter board
