Where can I get a 10" popsicle? 33" length or more

Heroins have too small a wheelbase. I want at least 15" wheelbase and 33" length, solid nose and tail.

Everything else is old school with tiny / pointy nose.

Closest i can seem to find is the Moose 10x33 blank. Concave seems good but the nose is shorter and pointier than I'd like. Is nobody making 10" popsicles anymore?

We have 10 and 10.25 popsicles made
By south central with 15 wb and measures 33 long in this graphic only

That is so good, even a 9" wide board, or 9.5" and then the 10" and 10.25" boards as you said.

Some people here in Australia are always looking for and asking about wider boards, but there are just none around like that.

Passing on details to them, but to be fair, I think it is just not worth the effort to ship boards half way round the world, no matter how many, unless it is in a wholesale order type of thing, which no one here is about to do.

The shipping usually costs more than the board and the people who often ask about it are not the most cashed up individuals at the best of times either.

Yep it’s always spendy, between $45-60 us to ship.
If anyone is interested internationally you can email the shop [email protected]

I'm about 99% sure this is the GS5, tactics uses BBS for their shop decks and the measurements line up. Hope this helps. Looks to be about 8.5 over back and 8.75 over front bolts.

Legend thanks for that

I was on a trip with some English dudes and one of the guys was riding 215s on his Heroin Mutant board.
I was really intrigued and set up a second mutant with some 215s and had one of the best miniram sessions of my life on it.
Maybe it was a combination of new wheels and bearings and the big trucks but I haven't felt this smooth and confident on my board for a long time.
Also somehow I find that the material of the Indy's grind a lot smoother than the Ace classics that I had for years now.

I will definitely switch to the 215s, even had a short session on the ledge and flatbar yesterday and it felt really good.

Running mine with Ace 77s and Radial Fulls and I already feel like that's the widest I'll ever go, but I prefer magic carpet over monster truck and don't skate a lot of transition. Also, agreed on the grind of Indys vs Ace Classics, but the AF1s grind feels closer to Indy then the classics.

On the same note, I love the multiple color ply's Heroin used on their latest Mutant. Saw the newest Baker drop also use them.

Man, I am always tripped out by folks finding 10” easier. The lockin is just too far off the centerline for my comfort. Always takes some adjustment.

Ahh awesome thanks for that!. Hoping I get away with 6.1’s on it but that back measurement has me a little worried. Guess I’ll find out in a week or so

ive ran 8.75 axles on shapes that tapered to 8.125
it worked great and didnt feel the need do change trucks

[finecojeffe]

I've used indy 159 on the gs5 shape, never an issue with looking too hot rod for me and I'm generally a magic carpet rider.

I’ve had the 8.8 version of that deck (like Shin’s polar surf deck they make them in two sizes with minimal difference) and it’s a tonne of fun. The pop for nollie tricks didn’t work for me though and if you noseslide, you really have to learn how to jam it in there.

passport spade shape

Once I run out of Enjoi 8.5s, I’ll probably return to the spade, the squared tail makes switch nose slides a breeze, and the stubby feel makes my Ollie’s seem higher.

Had my first sesh on it the other day. Took a bit of getting used to but loving it so far. Nose is a little tricky but managed a few crooks and noseslides so I’m happy. Something about seeing it underfoot just brings a smile on my face so. Happy with it.

yes to putting a smile on your dial, I was the same with Shin’s surf shape (which is almost identical to the spade) ♠️

Not sure. I was about to and then I saw there was another user with his last name. But hopefully he sees it.
Big ups homie!

- Powell Peralta 192 Ban This Flight 9.26" (Love the pop on these decks, the concave & kicks just feel great to me, I realised that steep kicks are not for my 48-year old body/legs and mediocre skating  I also realised I like decks below 32" in length  )
- ACE AF1 60 Hollow (w/ACE Hard Bushings, kingpin nut flush and w/3 washers on the inside of the axle to make the axle width more like an Indy 159, AF1's axles are a few mm's less wide than Indy's)
- Bones X-Formula 97A 54mm V5 Sidecut (best all-terrain wheel to me)
- Bronson G3 (I normally skate Bones Super Swiss 6 though)
- random 7/8" Allen HW
- New Balance 1010's (most comfortable shoe I've had so far)

Pretty hooked on this set-up. I wanted a set-up that does it all (street & park mainly) and this might be it. Tried it with AF1 66 Hollows as well but the AF1 60's with the extra washers seems to work great and a bit more "manageable"  Hope this set-up ends my board madness although I did order a SC Winkowski with the longer nose and double wheelbase option
