Are quasi decks heavy as sh?
Started skating one after a little hiatus and somethings off. Not sure if it’s me or the deck.
you probably have to get used to the shape. I also was having issues for quite some time (still do to be honest). Its a mix of different length, wheelbase, etc. The timing of everything is quite different from a crail board
My Ollies feel off. I never had any deck thsh i felt strange when popping an ollie. It’s crazy.
I‘ll give it another week. After that I have to say I’m done with it. I don’t really get it. Like I said : Pizza decks were awesome and I thought this might feel the same
Maybe its the wheelbase change?
its definitely the wheelbase change
ugh I remember my frustration when I first started buying Quasis from Chocolates. It is truly frustrating, and I started trying out Aces at the same time
What trucks do you have on it? You mentioned ollies being off and this is random, but try a few ollies with your front foot just below the bolts and let us know how that feels
Setups are bizarre and will bring the madness
Venturers! The ones with only the baseplate hollow.
The wheelbase. Interesting. I remember Ollie’s didn’t feel right when I started the crailtap decks from Alien Decks.
But now it’s special bad. Let’s see how this goes after the next days.
It seems all the Proto boards are PS Stix, according to their own site, which lists where the boards come from.

Some guys I skate with seem to get along with any and every board they ride, more often than not saying they just take a little while to get used to the different shape or whatever, but I am more the type of person that finds something that works and sticks to it, so riding something different is just going to be a pain and I don't want to get used to different boards when I know I was on something that works.
That said, it is up to you whether or not you want to try to get used to it, ease into it more so than go crazy that things are not working as you used to do on other boards, or just be done with it and move on.
The fingers of flat and the different kick length, angle, shape of the concave and all that really do play a lot more into what you are experiencing than anything else, but as someone else said, try putting your back foot more in the pocket, down closer to the bolts to pop, rather than on the end of the kick and you might be surprised that once you get more used to the board, then you can start moving your back foot further back up the board as usual. I had tried this on a couple of weird feeling boards and hot damn it worked, so it is worth a try.
