New parts, drops, board shapes and general discussion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noticed about the new boards are manufactured by BBS instead PS Stix
I am not skated any board yet but been watching and following this brand and my next deck will be a 8,25 from gx1000 for sure, curious abouyt how step kicks has
personally prefer squared shapes
-
As a deadhead, im loving the new grateful dead inspired decks and clothing. will forsure be copping...
-
Some of those doodle graphics are giving big Mikey alfredo vibes
-
echoing early requests for a re-issue of Bomb Hills. you know it would sell out...
They're owned by Highspeed that's how they can get away with the bomb hills not countries shirts and that's why Slap didn't make them for their pals

Difference is though the GX1000 guys can actually skate, and the decks havent been resanded.
-
What shape are their decks? Steep? Full nose and tail?

Have you skated on LSD before?

Gino sweater vests. Wild that’s looking like a new trend for the youths

I want one of those Bomb Hills hoodies but not looking to pay $80 shipping. Wonder if any Canadian shops carry them. Couldn't find any at the 10 or so sites I searched tonight.
-
What shape are their decks? Steep? Full nose and tail?
If pressed by PS Stix:
Full Nose and Tail: yes (squared almost as fat as current Hockey/FA on BBS, shorter tail though)
Steep kicks: not really (for reference, Hockey/Fa got steeper kicks)
Rather Flat Concave
Boards are kinda like (), wider in the middle (not eggish though)
Wider around front trucks than around back trucks
Didn't see the ones made by BBS yet

If they’re using the same shape as quasi on bbs like they were on ps stix(dims look the same) then the 8.5 is pretty much identical to the ps stix version

Stoked on the swap to BBS!
Has anyone bought a pair of the dimethyltryptamine pants? Looks pretty dope.

What is up with the crotch on those pants? The picture makes it looks like it’s 75% crotch and 25% leg. Who needs that much crotch in a pair of pants?!? Why do all skate pants have insanely long crotches?!? I do not understand this trend but every brand that makes skate pants uses a 12” or longer front rise. It’s insane, nobody needs that much fucking crotch. So much extra unnecessary fabric, why?? End rant.

It can also restrict movement. Maybe it just looks better than with a lesser rise? Skateboarding is roughly 32-74% fashion anyway.

I bought a GX board from my local a couple months ago and it was sick until it cracked in the middle from a fs disaster. I lost a ton of weight and am not fat anymore, too. So I emailed for a warranty and they never replied. Then I went and bought the same board so I hope it doesn't happen again :(
-
I've been wanting to get a pair of those Dimethyltryptamine Forest Green Cords for a minute now. The patch is pretty sick on those. Wondering how they'll compare to Polar 93's since those are like one of the comfiest cords I've owned.
That brown Bomb Hills Not Countries hoody looking good too. Love me a brown hoody.
Also a lowkey dead head so the steal your face/no microdose also looking good.
Skating on LSD is one of the best feelings ever, especially bombing hills. I feel so in control, so spatially aware when I drop.
I don't think slamming is that bad while tripping as long as you don't seriously injure yourself. LSD for me is a lowkey performance enhancer. First time I ever dropped back in 2011 I spent the whole night bombing hills in the dark. Highly recommend.
Also as BBS only kind of guy, stoked they made the switch from PS Stix.

I think there was something a while back that they were going to keep using PS Stix for some boards and BBS for others.
Same with Quasi - out of the same place anyway - but some of their riders wanted BBS but others wanted PS Stix.
Could be a bit funny then if they don't have top pics or other info from online sites, but PS Stix always has the serial number on top, BBS does not.

The dudes rip but it doesn't change the fact that those cartoonish graphics are laughable and just so, so off brand. To me, they're really confused because GX is such a gnarly company with skaters who do fucked up death defying shit, but then the board graphic is this (https://i.ibb.co/6gcdpDk/Screenshot-20221117-201700-Chrome.jpg)
Like whose homie has been allowed to put this shit on their boards, and why are they still allowing them to do so? I don't understand.

There's no crying in baseball and there's no refunds in skateboards.

Cool that they’re on BBS now, but bummed it’s all the same wheelbases as before. I can’t do the 14.25. At least 14.38, and I would be sooo stoked

Anybody know if GX runs a Black Friday sale?
-
Some of their decks are at 30$ os their site
-
Heres the link for the ones on sale
https://gx1000store.com/search?q=scales
Mostly that series, and then the Jeff Pro boards
im a fan. I hated that first jeff carlysle decks shape but have grown to like it. The 8.5 may be my favorite though
-
Somebody already skated the new BBS decks? Thoughts?

Skated the quasi 8.5 and loved it. They probably use the same shape considering they used the same ps stix shapes

Bronze are putting out sweater vests with paisley on as well at the moment, probably see a lot of kids wearing it this winter but we'll see.

Said homie is Joe Roberts, who does a lot of their graphics (the Micky Mouse DMT stuff and the complex intricate trippy stuff). It's a subjective thing but I really like it for the most part. I agree that that board graphic is kinda weak. Otherwise I find it fits the brand quite well, they're all very raw and gnarly, but at the same time have a bit of a 'hippy good vibes' thing going on. Maybe just cause they're by poor by default living in SF and they smoke a lotttt of weed.
What kind of graphics would be more on brand in your opinion? No shade, I'm genuinely curious. They've had some more edgy/dark graphics not too long ago, which were sick, but it was quite Hockey-esque. The Joe Roberts stuff is a bit more original in my opinion.

Yeah I actually just picked up a pair from my local skate shop. They're sick. I normally wear a 36 true to size, but I was able to get these in a 34 waist. You could definitely size up and not be wearing clown-ish panats for sure.
I see they have the red (wine) color ones on sale on the website for only $40 right now too.
They fit slimmer than a Polar surf and they're more tapered than a Polar 93 for reference. They're not a true denim but they feel like a really soft denim and they're great to skate!
Hope this helps.

When i get in to pc i will post them.
The bbs length is 81,5cm/32,1in and the nose/tail much more squared, i dont know if steper kicks.

Kick angle is easy to measure with a smartphone and some bubble level app.

I'm skating the PS 8.625 currently, and just managed to get the BBS version on offer, kick angle is loads mellower on the BBS, and it's 3/4" longer overall.
-
Left board is: GX1000 - Jeff Carlyle Buck 8.25 (PS)
Right board is: GX1000 - phonehome 8,25 (new BBS)
The new bbs phonehome is 81,5cm(thats 32,1in) and way more squared, liked the cyan blue and simple draw on it but that pictures didnt really convinced me..

So it looks like all of their decks are BBS now. Are these BBS GX shapes similar to Hockey/FA? Is the nose as steep?

Soryy to bump this again - just seeing if anyone can compare the steepness of the nose to hockey/fa on the BBS shape. It looks nice and square from the pics - I just want to know how steep that nose is before I try one. Thanks.
-
I'm currently skating an FA and just ordered a GX from the Spot sale. I can post pics once it arrives
-
That would be awesome. Thanks

been skating an 8.6 GX for a couple months now and i love it

Gx is 8.38 and fa is 8.25. Gx is noticably longer, slightly tapered compared to fa, kick on the nose is mellower, concave looks about the same or slightly mellower

I want one of those Bomb Hills hoodies but not looking to pay $80 shipping. Wonder if any Canadian shops carry them. Couldn't find any at the 10 or so sites I searched tonight.
Menu in Vancouver bc usually has gx stuff in stock.

I ended up getting one of the t-shirts instead and it was the shittiest gildan blank that's ever touched my body. I wiped the sweat off my brow skating one night and it scratched my forehead lol. Needless to say, I'ma pass on any of their clothing from now until forever.
