No G023 in the latest drop it seems
Hope it doesn’t go the way of the G028 because I really liked both shapes.
the G028 was the best. Then they changed it from 31.3 to 31.5 and it sucked.
The old G028 shape was my favorite in that size. I also really liked the G025 (Brian Anderson) shape for a bigger all terrain setup. I've always loved Girl, but there aren't many shapes in the current lineup that I really dig. The G052 shape looks pretty good, but with such a long tail, I feel like it would feel crazy on Indy's. Has anyone tried that combo?
I rode the G052 with Indy 144s for a month and can give you my personal opinions on that.
6.8 tail felt too long and pointy.
14 wb felt too short.
nose felt okay, although a bit too round
What really drove me insane on that deck, was the taper towards the tail. The nose and middle of the deck was ~ 8.25" but the tail was only ~ 8". Every time I landed some kind of shove it move that tail was in the front and I feared to tweak my ankle if I step 5mm to the wrong side.
I gave this deck to my homie who is on 5.2 Ventures and he liked it.
