Polar P9 truck size
« on: May 13, 2024, 10:16:01 AM »
ANybody riding this shape currently? Just picked one up, thinking about switching trucks from Indy 149 to Ace AF1, just not sure if i should do the 55 or 60.

Board is 8.62 at the widest, probably 8.5 at the front bolts n quite tapered near the tail, maybe 8.25?

Thoughts?

I rode it on 149 Indy’s and 5.8 ventures. Liked the Indy’s better.

Good shit, i'll rip it with the Indy 149's. Save the Ace's for a bigger set up in the future.

Thanks!

Do I have to skate the P1 - P8 to understand the P9?

No: although they are of a series, each is a stand alone shape w/ its own plots, characters, etc.

Also, regarding OP's question: have ridden AF1 55s on the P9 & they work/fit fine. My wheels poked out a touch at the back, due to the slight taper, but a good combo regardless.

Another vote for 149 Indy, that's what I ride on that shape. Sidebar, I almost always ride Polar decks with wheel wells (including P9s) but also the 8.125/8.25 shape as my 'regular' board. Anyone know if they are phasing them out because they don't sell? There seem to be less and less...
