Real has had 8.25 slicks, but they are regular shapes, not twin kicks, most recently in the Real ovals series a drop or two ago, the blue one I think, but when I went looking I couldn't find it.Was the Deathwish 8.25 twin a bit more comfortable than the DLX twin?
I want to fight you so badly richardPlease give me your address ill make it my life goal to punsh your face in

Thanks homies.
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.
Who had the steeper kicks?
Has anyone skated an Ishod 8.0 or 8.25 twin tail and a deck with a 14.38 wb? They’re supposed to be a 14.3 and 14.33 wb so I was wondering if there was actually a noticeable difference.

Yeah totally.Also interesting it doesn't seem like the kicks are the same either, but it could just be my eye... or the angle of the pic.I just happened to pause it right on that frame, so took a screen of it.

Haven't tried Neen's shape yet but the Owlien really does feel like 2 noses while DLX's feels like 2 tails. Compared to the DLX 8.3. TT I actually liked it a bit better. The kicks were also blunter/more boxy which I felt helped out my heel flips and made it easier to fudge through sketchy landings; more deck to stand on = less toe and heel dragging for me. Also noticably lighter, but of course not slick.Where are the AWS TT's though? I bought that one a year ago and haven't seen one for sale anywhere in at least 6 months. I really was hoping that shape would stick around. If it was more available I'd probably switch over from DLX.

I skate the ishod TT with ventures and it’s my favorite, I love how mellow it feels and the wheelbase works for me doesn’t feel too short, maybe I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about though

Made the switch from Venture 5.6 Hi Hollow to Indy TI 149s when switching to the 8.3 Ishod.

Today was the first time trying a Twin Tail Deck. It took 5mins to get used and it’s so fucking good. I already fell in love with it. I treated myself new trucks with the deck and hope there will be twin tail decks in the future, though I don’t think I will pay the 10€ extra for the 8.3 slick next time and just get the 8.25 or try another company.
