Flat boards
« on: December 25, 2017, 09:45:12 AM »
what are some of the flattest boards you guys have skated? I know Scumco makes that Kiddie Pool concave. I've only had like typical industry flat boards like Baker (back in the day), Foundation/Toy. always thought Zero was flat, but never bought one myself. I want to buy a Black Label...

Flip decks are pretty flat. Can't decide if I like it or not.

Girl/chocolate, magenta, dwindle specific flat shape and even they’re medium(they mark their concave shape on the top ply so you know what your getting yourself into), baker as mentioned, and sometimes a bottom pressed deluxe cause I got unlucky

yes

My last few boards have been the dlx ones stamped IV and it's perfect for me.
Baker is somehow even flatter though.

To weigh in on Zero vs the Baker og shapes, the zero that I have setup is a dwindle deck with medium concave. The baker b16 that I have is flatter, and thinner/lighter.

I'm on the flattest board I could find.  Dogtown big foot.  No concave and super mellow kick.  I wish they'd make that Cab flat tracker 10 wide.  I think the new auby taylor pig is pretty flat and that looks rad.  No wide boards with noses are flat from what I've seen unfortunately.

I skated one of the 5boro VHS series boards a few decks ago. Really flat and I felt like the poppiness died pretty quickly too, wasn’t really into it.

Theres like 8 blanks at our local shop that are if not absolutely flat, it mught be just like a .00000008 mm concave, not even kidding, square tail, funky nose and 8.25.
If anyone wants to try one out, theyre like 27$

My last few boards have been the dlx ones stamped IV and it's perfect for me.
Baker is somehow even flatter though.

Do you find the numerals to be pretty accurate ie I is steeper?

got my first stamped Real, a IV, and it's far from flat, more medium/step, which is fine to me

The numerals indicate its position in the stack when pressed. It makes a slight difference, but not as much as the shape...it is supposed to make it easier to pick boards. If someone gets an 8.38 that doesn’t feel like previous 8.38”, he/she will know why...seems good if you’re picky about boards. However, an 8.12 is going to be flatter than a 8.28, 8.25, or 8.5, regardless of numeral.

Someone explained it better in the thread about DLX shapes.

The new Jovantae reissue is FLAT flat.
44 years young. Skatin' since '80. Take yours slams, get up smiling, say #thankyouskateboarding, and get back up and do it again. Because FUN.

thanks man, yeah I was looking at some of those Girl Choco 8.38s and thinking about that one. the B16 is looking like a contender too, people seem to really love that shape. I think i'm gonna hop on the Ti149 and 8.38 shape bandwagon, get some Radial slims 52

Black label, toy machine and baker are the flattest out of more popular brands that I've ever skated

This is listed as "mellow concave, steep tail". It's pretty flat imo and I love it.
