I normally ride the 8.25/14.38. I had an 8.4 laying around, and in light of recent posts I decided to take it out for a spin tonight. What a weird deck. It is the same length as the 8.25. Yet, it seems to feel...shorter?? It's the same width, but seems to feel...wider?? The nose is a tad longer than the 8.25, and that seems to throw off my nollie/switch tricks a bit. The tail isn't as "full" as the 8.25, and this seemed to make the tail feel smaller to me. I def don't like 14.25wb, either. Everything felt way too cramped. After skating for about 20 min on it, I was reminded why I had taken it apart the last time. I put the 8.25 back on, and was like, "OH, GOD YES! THIS DECK IS ECSTASY." So, some kid is going to end up with an almost brand new 8.4 next time I'm at the park.
