was skating the G030, and now skating the G016. not a huge difference, but I do like the bigger nose on the G016, the mellower concave, and the shorter wheelbse. the board feels a lil wider due to the concave and more nimble due to the shorter WB
16 has the fun tail too
gonna walk this back... did not enjoy the G016 at all, the tail is just too small, felt like i was going to step right off it everytime i stepped on the board. put the G030 back on mid-session and all was great again.
the tail is very polarizing, with most people i’ve seen saying the same as you here.
i like it from a ‘hey this tail looks kinda like the sheffey toy soldier….man my life was so much better then’.
big wheels (or larger than 52), might make for some
crazy pop angles. 360 flips tho, very good
yea, just couldnt get comfortable on it. felt too cramped.
I haven't met a single person that has had a good experience on that deck.
i like it. if it was an 8 i’d skate it all the time. i don’t like a tail over 6.5, usually.
i’m sure some board wizard could figure out how in much taller wheels, you’d probably need longer nose/tail, and i’d be interested in that, but in general, i like a short tail. the griffin gass shape is the shit. a perfect 8.5, loved it with 149 thunders. if i ever get tempted to skate a wide board, that’d be the one. i’m sure it’s a complete coincidence that it has the same tail as their 7.75 that feels ‘like a skateboard’, or very much at home, for me. wish it was an 8.
anyways, i like the weird shaped tail
