This thread is an amazing example of why dlx is cool. Anyways...I've been blubbering about trying to find a short, fat shape. There was the legendary drehobol shape, I didn't ever have it, but I thought it was prized for being shorter. Dlx doesn't have many short boards, I have short, legs, and have been trying to find some shorter stuff. So currently length is the most interesting measurement, for me. I appreciate width, length, and wheelbase measurements on boards. A shape naming system is also cool, but I see how that could be problematic for dlx and for shops.
If the two truck companies that dlx owns, extend the wheelbase, why are more the offerings longer, and with longer wheelbases? The 'full' shapes in an 8", look to be perfect for me (a little long) if I was using Indys. I've been riding thunders and ventures more often lately, and they do 'great' for me, on the shorter wheelbases of ps stix and such. Lots of blatherings.
Felt like dlx boards where the best in the industry for quite awhile, and I never hesitate to grab one, I personally have ps stix boards lasting longer lately. Did dlx change its wood/glue? Razors a touch faster, not quite as hard/stiff/ poppy as I think it was.
Continue to do what's working, I'll continue to support as things are
